Whitening Masks!
REVIEW
1) The Face Shop Essential Mask Sheet - Pearl
Got this when I was in Korea. The sales rep said this was for whitening so I got it. Not too sure how much it cost but came in a pack of, I think, 10?
Anyway, I really dislike this!
It does not whiten or brighten the complexion.
And the worst thing is, it is SO STICKY. Masks are most uncomfortable when the essence makes you feel 'dirty'. I always feel like I need to wash my face after putting this on which defeats the purpose isn't it?
The mask itself is on the thicker side. It's not too wet but I did think the shape doesn't fit the contours of my face well. It's too circular and wide. Am left with 2. Trying to finish this up quickly.
2) LoveMore Diamond Super White Mask
I bought this recently on a whim. I had chanced upon a similar whitening mask which won Her World's (or is it Cleo) beauty award for 2011. Actually, I didn't realise it was 2011... I couldn't remember the name SO when I went to Watson's and saw the Her World/Cleo sticker, I just grabbed it!
Anyway, I must say this mask is good :)
After I remove it, I can see that my complexion is brightened! Noticeable results after 20 minutes or so. Essence isn't sticky which is great.
Mask comes with the plastic backing. It's not too thick but contours-wise, I think it was abit long and narrow? There was a fair bit sticking into my hairline but nothing too hateful.
Even after leaving it on for more than half an hour, the mask is still wet with essence.
Only dislike is that I can feel a tingly feeling/itch when I leave it on too long.
It also only comes in boxes of 5. 5!!! If you use one daily, you'll run out real quick. $7.90 per box...
3) My Beauty Diary Japanese Cherry Blossom Mask
Jars gave this to me. It's for whitening too! Just nice! :)
I've had it for quite a while but only opened it today. Faint scent of florals I suppose. No idea what cherry blossoms smell like. Anyway, does it brighten?
I must say the results aren't as noticeable as the LoveMore mask.
Texture wise, it's roughly the same. Not too thick and still wet with essence after half an hour.
I do think it fits my face better.
Honestly with all the raves about MBD masks, I was hoping to see better results but I guess not ALL products are hits.
Anyway, I'm glad the essence isn't sticky as well. Once absorbed, you don't feel it.
It came in a box of 10. I'm not sure how much is the price in sg but I don't mind repurchasing this.
Similar dislike to the LoveMore mask - the slight itch.

I have also used Leader's Clinic masks before. I find that they are abit more gel-like. Essence is also quickly absorbed and not sticky. I bought them off Gmarket. Seems like they've been repackaged recently because they look different! Anyway, I pretty like them although I don't remember if results were noticeable. I would buy them again but am just too lazy to take out my ib.
