My Beauty Diary Mask : Bird's Nest and a little story telling

My Beauty Diary (MBD) have been around for awhile now. They have wide range of masks until choosing a mask to try out is a little hard. I say you have to pick at least 3 ?  Don't worry there is definitely something for every skin to feast upon. Forgive me for I am just starting out with this mask end of last year. I previously was a hardcore wash-off or peel-off mask kinda girl. The first time I tried sheet mask was years ago and it irritates my skin horribly. Since that day onwards I avoid sheet mask at all cost. Especially if the packaging is cute and they cost only RM4.. They can't be good. yea.. typical thinking I know...


Thank goodness MBD is here to prove me wrong. I received a sachet from my friend and I am pleasantly surprise! Not only it didn't make my face itchy it actually moisturizes my skin. 


I am introducing the very fist mask I tried from MBD and still using because I just simply love it. I haven't try that many but once I am done trying certain type I will post a review up. I hope mask post will be a regular post from now on. Cross fingers I'll be able to follow up!

Bird's nest is among the most expensive animal products available for our consumption. Bird's nest soup is a delicacy that have been around for hundreds of years and loved by many. Said to have various health benefits, one of the top benefit is its ability to help in enhancing the rebirth of cells and tissues, which means a more resilient and youthful looking skin. Who on earth doesn't want that! Do bear in mind consuming and slapping the essence on your face are two different things.

Comes in a off-white pearl packaging. I bought a box which stored 10 pcs of mask for RM49.90 from Guardian.

They placed a thin plastic on the other side of the mask so you can separate the mask easily without having to risk tearing the thin sheet.

I just love the thinness and the size of the mask. Fits my face perfectly, adhere like a second skin, you hardly notice it is there.

According to the packaging this mask is suitable for all skin type but highly beneficial for dry and dull skin. 


Based on my experience after using a box of this Bird's Nest mask I kinda like it. Not a total love, just like. Each sachet comes in a generous amount of essence. Scent wise, I love it. It has a light bird's nest soup smell to it. Applying this mask would normally be the last stage in my pampering session. As you can see most sheet masks are meant for hydration. So after all of the deep cleansing masks, I need something that will bring back moisture before I lock the moisture in. There is something about this mask that I don't like. The feeling when I have it on, it is not consistent. Sometimes, my skin behave but occasionally, my skin will get this tingling sensation and this tingling sensation only happen when I slap the mask right away after cleanser. If I do my normal pampering routine, everything is fine. 
Do you face the same problem? FYI, in my self-pampering session I normally apply 6-7 masks. Let me know if you are interested in knowing what mask I have on during that session.


Now lets see if the claims on the packaging holds true.

Does whitens a little and made my skin look nourished. Don't think that it renews my skin tho..

Provides just the right level of hydration for my skin.

Enhance the elasticity, maybe true to a certain extend. My skin does look radiant and healthy.


Conclusion:
To sum it all up, after using my face does look a little brighter, after the essence is fully absorbed, my face feels smooth, not sticky and a little bouncy too. It does calms  and reduce the redness on my skin. Especially, after extraction. 
The effect does not last. The very next day your skin will feel normal again, but continuous use will definitely enhance the overall look and texture. The mask may not be so efficient due to the fact that the essence is rich in water and not bird's nest (swiftlet) extract itself. For RM4.99 per sachet, you can't complain much. This is a luxury pampering on budget.


Ingredients: 

How to use?
The recommended way to use this mask is by having it on for 20-30 minutes, massage the remaining essence and follow up with your skincare. In my case, I went to the extreme end where I leave the mask on until almost all the essence are absorbed (approx.1 hour). However, I would rinse the essence off after I pat them in before I put on my skincare. I do not prefer the essence to be on my face overnight. I am afraid that it will break me out.


Love note: Once a guy told me, issues you can't solve is not a problem. Instead of spending time sulking over it, move on. This may sound as if you are running away from your problems but you get more important things done that way. Important things that are within your control.


Tomorrow is Friday!!! Great weekend ahead!
