last time i was in singapore, i couldn't find new variants of my beauty diary that i haven't tried, so i didn't buy anymore since i still have some left in my stash. but when i strolled around yodobashi in kyoto, i was excited since i saw several variants that i haven't tried and even a special edition for 15th anniversary of my beauty diary. so obviously i grabbed some of them. i think there were 4 variants, but i only managed to get 3 of them. when i got back home, i wanted to find the description from the grape one, but i couldn't find any. so annoying. even on my beauty diary taiwan or japan's website, there's no description about it. really annoying. so i have no idea whether this is super new or discontinued. anyway... let's talk about it straight.
the packaging: just like any other my beauty diary mask, since i bought this in a box of 5, the box has same packaging as the individual one. it has purple background with grape's picture at front to indicate the main ingredients. at the back, there's description and ingredients list but since i bought this in japan, everything is in japanese.
the scent: it smells like sweet red wine that's used in holy communion. it dissipates after awhile, so i don't mind the scent.
the product: the mask is thin as usual, the fit is great as usual. a bit tall forehead and it has slit on inner eyes which annoys me, and another slit on the outer eye. it has big enough eyes and mouth holes and it's easily adjustable. it has plastic backing which is good as the mask is thin and flimsy. it has clear runny essence, which i like. if you didn't know, lady fiddy found out that the MBD masks that have milky essence were not as good as the ones that have clear runny essence, so i'm glad this one has clear essence. there's a bit excess in the pouch, but i just pat it back on the mask.
the result: as predicted, i like this one too. it's hydrating and a bit moisturizing but not too heavy. i can use this for an hour, but i limit myself to just use it for about 30 minutes. as i don't know what this mask is supposed to do, i can only say that i don't see much calming effect nor brightening effect. it does brighten but only a bit. i've used other masks that are more brightening than this one.
i do like this mask, so i'm glad i bought this one. but i'm a bit annoyed by the fact that i couldn't find any information about it on the website. plus i think it's a limited, and i don't know what kind of limited it is. whether it's just limited in japan or it's released for limited time. totally have no idea since there are no information about it. anyway.. if you're in japan and you find this one, better grab it as i think it will be suitable for all skin types. price wise, though it's limited, but i don't see any price difference with the usual type.
