My Beauty Diary Mask: Arbutin Whitening Mask

A revisit to the mask land for me! Hasn't been really sleeping well and my skin was looking rather dull.  Figuring it was high time for a round of pampering to my skin, I rummage my bag (yes, a paper bag full of it) of masks and found this!

My Beauty Diary Mask ~ Arbutin Whitening Mask.  I guess this would help me to brighten up my skin and so I proceeded to it.  This time round, I didn't fridge it but left it my air-cond room for a bit (went to wash and scrub the skin so that it can absorb the mask session better, tee hee).

When I opened it, I was rather intrigued by the mask.  Usually, the paper masks are white in color and slightly think.  A little paper-y feel, if you know what I mean.  This mask is rather different and unusual.  Compared to other masks, this is a see through mask.  It's rather thin, but yet not flimsy.  In terms of thickness, it's pretty much the same as the other paper masks that I've used.  Nonetheless, it's quite easy to manipulate to ensure that it fits the face.  I think the uniqueness of it is the fact that it's rather smooth! It's like putting a layer of jelly onto your skin.

I remember staring at the mirror after applying it and I could still pretty much "see" my face, if you know what I mean =D

However, I find that it's kinda shallow on the forehead size, maybe it's cause I have high forehead?  Other than that, like any of the My Beauty Diary Mask, it fits my face quite well.

After 20 minutes or so, I removed it and yet it still feels like that mask is full of juice! Haha... I used it along my arms and legs, just to fully utilise all those nutritious (I guess they are?) juive =D

Did it make my skin instantly fair?  Nah, my skin do look brighter though, giving me that perked up feeling that I like.  Like any other masks, one must continue using it for a period of time in order to see the effect.  It's rather hydrating I would say, and that does make me feel good too.

Will I rebuy?  I guess? Cause I find that the see through feeling was kinda awesome. haha... It does perk my skin up so that's a pro to it.

A couple of weeks back was quite a stressful period for me, as work was continuously piling up and there were a lot of demands here and there for me to hand in stuff.  A colleague of mine noted of the number of late nights that I was staying in the office and being such a darling that she is, she gave me two masks which she bought from Taiwan (just got back from Taiwan)!!  Oh my gosh!!! I was so stunned when I got it as it was another late night and I was caught in a rather late meeting on a Friday night too! Such blessing =D

Ain't the note she gave me sooo cute???  Aw... such a darling! Winn darling, thank u soooo much for this gift u gave me.  U cannot imagine my surprise and gladness when I saw it on my table =D

I couldn't wait to use it and comes Saturday, I totally rip off one of the masks after snapping the pictures to enjoy it.  I was feeling rather hot (heaty I think) and I thought it'll be good to try the cooling mask.  Okay, no pictures to show, but woah, I totally love it.  Not only does it make my skin feels cooler as I use it, it seems to do good with moisturising my skin too.  I totally turned haggard due to the amount of stress I was facing, and this mask makes me feel lifted, both physically (my face) as well as emotionally.  It totally eases me =D

I like the fact that it's light enough (some masks feels so heavy on your skin, well, mine at least) and the cooling effect was there.  It also leaves my skin feeling moisturised without that heavy feeling too.  Neither did my skin feels sticky after that.

However, one thing I don't actually fancy was that there were a lot of the balance of the liquid in the bag, and when it's poured out, it was rather watery.  I almost spilled some onto the floor @.@  Well, lucky it didnt go to waste =p  I poured it onto my cupped hand and applied it all over the neck.  Feels good too!

All in all, it's good!  No wonder it's such a HIT in the market.  Nonetheless, I do find it a little pricey here in Malaysia.  I'm currently eyeing a friend who is going to Hong Kong next month to get me some back dee... woo hoo.. Different ones to try.  I still have the cherry blossom one with me =D
