[REVIEW]: (BeautyDiary) Strawberry Yoghurt Mask

I've never really done a product review on this blog before and I think it's about time I join the bandwagon. When I do read through blogs I appreciate it more when they do a review on just the one product alone rather than posting review on 7 products all at once so that's what we are going to do from now on.


First product to review, BeautyDiary face mask. This has been so raved about in the bloggingsphere so curious little me decided to get my hands on them to try. However they have so many different kinds of face masks so I would suggest to do a little research beforehand because it can get quite overwhelming. So I browsed and browsed and browsed more and finally settled on getting the Strawberry Yoghurt Mask. 



Here's what it says in the website: 





Purpose:
Brightening, improving fine lines and oil control 
Skin type:
All skin types, especially combination skin 
Ingredients:
Purified Water, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, 1,3 Butylene Glycol, Triethanol amine, Tween 20, Yogurt, Hyaluronic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Algae, Malva sylvestris, Arctostaphylos uva ursi, Saccharum officinarum, Acer Saccharum, Citrus medica Limonum, Vaccinium myrtillus, Styrene/acrylates copolymer, Dimethylsilanol hyaluronate, Propyl Paraben, Methyl Paraben, Carbomer, Polyglutamic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance, Fragariavria vesca Fruit Extract, Citrus Anrantium Dulcis Fruit Extract



I can tell you now that there is no English in the packaging 
except for the name of the Mask.  


There are 10 sheets in each box. When you tear off the pack, the sheet is extremely soaked which I personally like because it means it will all go to my skin. I didn't find putting the sheet to be messy and despite the fact that it is very wet I didn't experience any drips because the essence is more of a slightly watery gel texture. 





Next thing I noticed is that it smells exactly like Strawberry Pocky! I'm serious, if you don't know what Pocky is, its a japanese snack of chocolate sticks which also comes in Strawberry flavour. I love Pocky ergo I love the smell of this mask although I can see that some might be put off by this. It's not overly perfumed but just that it lingers until the sheet is all dry.


What I think:

I honestly cannot express how I much love this face mask. It really does what it claims. As soon as I take off the mask I notice that my skin is much more brighter and hydrated. Also it gives me a more radiant glow. I once used this mask on with an active pimple and the next day, I kid you not, it's gone! Having said that, I can confirm that it will not stop you from having pimples every so often but it helps heal and dry it out a lot faster than if you didn't use this. I also find that some of my blemishes have faded which is quite a big deal to me because I have been struggling to get them blemishes disappear. 


However I only use this mask twice a week because I find that the suppleness and glow it gives last for more than a day and I really don't want to overpack my skin with the essence as it will only lead to a breakout, based on my experiences. After using this face mask I do however still lather on some moisturizer because I feel like it will seal the essence? I don't know maybe its my wacky brain talking but my face is so much more smoother the next day.


I use this every Monday and Thursday, I have sort of routined my skin to it and so far its working perfectly well. Also I find that since using this face mask my skin is relatively less oily.  


Would I recommend?


Definitely, especially for those on the more oilier side. Not only does it work but it's cheap. I bought mine at Bonjour for $56(HKD) so really guys you won't have to break the bank! I'm down to my last 3 sheets... sad :(

What other masks would you suggest me to try next time?
