Beauty Product Review: My Beauty Diary Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask

black mask 3/25/2015

Masking have always been a favourite activity of mine. One can simply put on a mask, relax and wake up in 15-20 minutes with a relaxed, rejuvenated, brighter and smoother face.

Masking can be done 2-3 times a week depending on your preference but not overdone as the results will be reversed.

There are many different brands of mask and types of mask in the market. I am going to share with you more about a brand that is familar to all. My Beauty Diary Mask. This brand is the first mask brand that I got in touch with in my earlier beauty journey days and they have recently launched their own version of Black Mask, available in the following 3 variants:

Black Obsidian Moisturizing
Black Rose Brightening
Black Pearl Total Effect

Utilizing mystical black ingredients to help eliminate skin pigmentation, unevenness and loose skin caused by UV rays andenvironmental impurities, the deluxe Black Mask series helps to restore uneven skin tone, enhance skin elasticity, leaving your skin rejuvenated, deeply moisturized with dewy radiance!

My Beauty Diary Mask has recently gotten better, with improved formula, better features, and classier packaging. It is now patented with its unique ingredient Cosphingo which has a long lasting, moisturizing property for improved hydration, making your skin soft and supple like a baby's.

Their smooth cotton fibre mask sheets are of high and ultra fine quality coming from Japan, to allow the essence to be easily absorbed by your skin. The mask are free from harmful paraben preservatives, alcohol or mineral oils, pigments and fluorescent agents ans safe for all skin, even the most sensitive skin like mine (tested and proven).

I have been very careful about masking lately because I, had some issues previously after masking due to my ultra sensitive skin having breakouts from the extremely temperamental weather.

I'll be sharing more on My Beauty Diary Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask for the purpose of this review.

These mask have 2 unique features, they contain the 3D Hyaluronic acid and Yeast Compound.

3D Hyaluronic acid forms a protective film over the skin to replenish and retain moisture, preventing dehydration and allowing skin to stay deeply hydrated.

Yeast compound helps tighten and regulate skin tone, and effectively soothes fatigue skin in just 15-20 minutes to reveal a glowing, youthful and velvety smooth complexion.

Conforming Black Sheet Mask Material
With refined tailoring and texture characteristics, the black sheet mask material provides the perfect fit that conforms not only to your facial contours, but also your neck area, offering optimal adherence and comfort fit you deserve.

Masking in progress... You can see how nicely it fits on my face with the extra flap at the bottom to wrap the chin and neck area. This is a very pleasant touch. You can feel that it is from a thick and solid material compared to normal flimsy ones.

Infused with essential essences to deliver instant nourishment to your skin, this mask
simultaneously eliminates impurities in the pores, yielding porcelain, shine-free and silky smooth skin! You can feel them slowly seeping into your skin as the mask is placed on your face.

Before and after photos.

I'll be kidding you if I tell you they make a huge difference on my face especially when you cannot really see it from the photos. What I felt immediately was my face became smoother, hydrated and moisturized. My face felt well rested and somehow my dark eye circles seemed a little less puffy the following day too. The illuminating glow was witnessed only the following day after masking. My face seems less oily now too. The best thing was that I did not experience any sensitive outbreak or patches of red skin.

The Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask is suitable for normal skin types & especially recommended for skin requiring intense hydration and illumination. It promises you the following:

ILLUMINATING
NOURISHING
HYDRATING
MOISTURIZING

The Black Obisidian Moisturizing Black Mask is rich in trace elements and minerals that restores healthy skin.

French Black Obsidian helps support the skin’s protective mechanism and enhances the skin’s hydrating power.

The infusion of Laminaria digitata and sugar maple delivers intense hydration to the deep layers of skin to improve dry skin texture, revealing renewed and brighter skin.

Enriched with numerous soothing ingredients like Calendula officinalis, Licorice, and Ruscus aculeatus extracts to relieve dry,rough and irritated skin.

The mask is also rich in Bladder wrack seaweed, Aloe vera, and hydrolyzed Jojoba for improved hydration, allowing the skin to feel optimally nourished, revitalized with glowing luminosity!

Overall, I like this mask because it fits nicely, feels good and most importantly does not cause any skin breakouts. Though a little steep in pricing at $3.95 per mask, if you are willing to splurge a little to pamper your face, this is something worth getting.

Available at Guardian, Sasa and Watsons at $16.90 for a 5-piece pack.
And via online at www.NaturesMart.com.sg

My thoughts:
With the dropper it is very easy to apply the Skin Therapy Oil, as there is no fear of over application by pouring or contamination due to prolong contact with the air. The oil smells floral and pleasant but is not over powering. It blends into the skin quickly, absorbing it with a slight oily feel.

I did not see significant changes to my face as I do not have very obvious lines, but I do see slightly lightened freckles and a brighter and tighter face. My face feels well moisturised although I only applied a thin layer of the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil.
