My beauty diary top 7 review series Part 1: Aloe mask

I purchased the My Beauty Diary Top 7 Kit awhile ago but never got around around to trying any of them because I was afraid I'd fall in love and won't be able to buy more>< but I decided to try one every week or so and write a series of reviews on them and tell you which ones are my favorite.
First up is the Aloe mask
This is all it's claimed to do. Copied and Pasted from Sasa.com

My Beauty Diary Aloe Mask provides hydration and nourishments for skin. It is ideal for all skin types, especially dry and damaged skin.

Hydrate and repair skin: Natural aloe extracts contain various vitamins which provide hydration and nourishment for skin. Rose essence is contained to repair dry and rough skin.

Revitalize and nourish skin: Seaweed-yeast complex contains rich amino acid and microelements to nourish skin. Hyaluronic acid extracted by biological technology is an efficient hydrating ingredient, allowing watery and smooth skin.


Application:
The mask is on a sheet of plastic so it's easy to unfold without getting frustrated or confused.The sheet itself is thin and fits comfortably on my face. You can see in the pictures that the mask is thin enough to see my eyebrows and acne clearly.

Once you apply the mask you wait for 20-30min as the package directs. During this time i didn't get any annoying drips down my neck despite how much serum is on the sheet. It also didn't lift off my face when i talked which is a big plus because I hate having to readjust masks once its on. After the time is up peeeel away.

All the serum I squeezed out of the sheet. There was sooo much I was able to massage it into my face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

There honestly wasn't any noticeable differences from how my skin looked 40 minutes before(I always leave masks on longer cause I'm a rebel.) My face looked slightly brighter and more moisturized but nothing super special. But i usually see more results the morning after so I put on my regular moisturizer and went to bed and 4 hours(again, rebel) later i woke up at 6am to do my whole routine of gym and school my skin was baby bottom smooth. It didn't brighten my face or get rid of any redness but then again, it didn't promise to.

eyebags and forever dull skin...being a badass comes with sacrifice.

  Overall:
I'd rate this a 6/10. It does make my skin softer but so many other masks can do than and more. It would do well if you use masks every few days but being the cheapo i am, it can't be done. You could also get a better effect if your skin is normal-oily rather than dry like mine. All-in-all this is nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to repurchase.
