my beauty diary is one of my favorite brand when it comes to sheet mask. so whenever it's possible, i always buy some. i don't even care about trying one piece. if i have to buy the whole box, i'd just buy it. i usually buy it when i go to japan. somehow they always have newer version. so when i saw that they released some limited edition masks, i grabbed them all without thinking. now i'm glad i made that decision since we all can't travel overseas thanks to the coronavirus pandemic situation. oh well, let's see how it goes. i don't know which type of essence this one has, so i'm hoping this one has clear type essence and not the milky one.
i can't find any description from their website, perhaps because it's limited edition, but this is a description from official indonesian reseller: refreshing, cooling and moisturizing. wild thamnolia vermicularia extract is rich in minerals that help soothe and refresh irritated skin, while increasing skin defense. enriched with a blend of extracts of sunflower, calendula and horse chestnut extracts, this mask optimally hydrates the skin so the skin becomes moisturized and soft.
function: helps moisturize and refresh the skin.
how to use: after cleaning your face and using toner, gently apply the mask to the face. with tinysome which accelerates the absorption of serum into the skin, just use a mask for 5-10 minutes. masks can also be used for 20-30 minutes. after releasing, massage the remaining essence so that it's fully absorbed on face. the face does not need to be rinsed. then use cream on the face as usual. use at least 2-3 times a week for maximum results.
the packaging: i bought this in a box. the box size is smaller compared to the other ones that i bought from japan the other time. there are used to be 8 masks in a box, but now it's only 4 masks in a box. the box has the same design as the individual packaging. this time it has sky blue background with a big polar bear swimming in the ice lemon tea drink. there's description at the back in japanese as well as ingredients list.

the scent: it smells a bit like lime or lemon, but when i use it again, i think i can pick a hint of green tea as well. but it's very faint so it's unnoticeable when you put it on your face.
the product: the mask is made of thin material which i can't say that it is, but it's the same material as other masks. it adheres well. but the fit is a bit wide for my face. it has wide temple and tall forehead, and even though there's no slit, i can adjust the mask just fine. it has those weird inner eye slit though, but i don't mind since it doesn't poke my eyes. i'm glad this one has clear essence. it has enough essence and there's a bit left, but it's not enough to soak a tablet mask.

the result: i put it on for about 30 minutes, and i can feel it's hydrating and a bit soothing as well. i've tried this when i had acne, and i can see the redness fades a bit after using this mask.
i'm glad i find another type of MBD mask to like. but i'm also disappointed that this is a limited edition, so i probably couldn't find it again. if i could, i would definitely repurchase this one. if you find any my beauty diary mask, i suggest you grab some. there's only a few that i don't like, the ones with milky essence is not suitable for my skin, but i like the clear essence one. unfortunately, there's no way to tell which one that has clear essence, so i do hope they put a bit description on their website so i don't go bling every time i buy their mask.
