My Beauty Diary: Black Pearl Mask
Thursday, Oct. 13, 2011 | 50 Comments
I’ve used My Beauty Diary masks for a few years now. Off and on, as a special treat. But lately I’ve been thinking I need to use them more often as a necessity! And this Black Pearl version might just have to be the go-to one!
Yesstyle sent a few my way to review. They have a huge selection of My Beauty Diary right now. The Black Pearl version focuses on “Whitening & Nourishing.” Lately my skin has been getting a little dry with the air getting drier as autumn carries on. So this was a good opportunity to rejuvenate my skin! :deco2:
I don’t know if it’s the mask, or the fact I put it on after a workout, but it’s really refreshing! :deco8: So cool and moisturizing. After only a few minutes my skin was feeling so wonderful. Really, I am loving this Black Pearl version! :deco8:
I was thinking the whitening would be great for redness or dark spots left from acne. Not really actual whitening but more to lighten dark spots. I thankfully didn’t have any acne scars currently. But one reason I love My Beauty Diary is because their masks never break me out! I’ve tried various versions too and so far my sensitive skin has remained calm and acne free after using them. My favorites from before include Bulgarian Rose and Red Vine.
After the 30 minute treatment my skin was illuminated and even! No red blotches like usual, just glowing, even colored skin. :ok:
This one was an English version too so I could actually read the full directions & description. Usually I just have to locate the amount of time to wear it and that was all I could make out. So these translated versions are a welcomed surprise.
The My Beauty Diary Black Pearl box of 10 masks is available on Yesstyle here.
Here’s the official description –
:deco3: Ultimate Whitening: The ultimate whitening complex essence is extracted from shimmering black pearls which contain beautification ingredients, including rich amino acid and mineral trace elements that have been carefully selected for skin conditioning. The natural active ingredients condensed from black pearls, combined with many other natural marine and plant extracts contained in our formula will leave your skin white, soft, moisturized, and feeling silky smooth with a pearly luster after use!
:deco3: Restores Elasticity and Luster: Natural vitamin C plant extracts such as pineapple, lime, cucumber stimulates metabolism of cuticles, thereby removing old and dead skin cells, making your skin silky smooth, refreshed and white. Furthermore, it enhances elasticity, luster and vitality, ultimately creating the perfect clear and elastic skin.
:deco3: Suitable Skin Types: Normal and specially recommended for skin lacking luster and elasticity.
:deco3: Purpose: Whitening & Nourishing

Wish that I could use! My skin is honey tone :)
Oh, are you worried because of whitening? I read that it doesn’t really whitened, many girls with tans have used it. But if you’re worried there are LOTS of non-whitening versions too! :)
Really! I’ll have to do more research and look into this :3
Great! They have some just daily care versions, I think the Mixed Berry is a daily care type, no whitening. I used it a while ago & remember it smelling so … delicious, LOL!
I saw this in the local oriental market but it was hella expensive D; (like 30 bucks!) Better off ordering online I suppose? I should give this a try ~ I too have sensitive skin so I’m really scared of putting things on my face for fear that I’ll break out in two seconds…
Whoa so much!! I’ve purchased the 7 day variety pack at my local Japanese market and it was less than half that cost! Yeah, better buying online with prices like that D:
I’m the same way with my face. I almost LOATHE any sort of facial free sample because there’s like an 85% chance it’ll break me out. But these…. me gusta :)
I’ve been thinking about ordering some of these black pearl masks for a while, so thank you for the review.
Glad I could help!
omg i loooove my beauty diary n___n they’re my absolute favorites. my skin feels so nice, soft, and supple whenever i take them off! i especially like using them before i’m about to go out, because not only do they make my skin look great but i’ve noticed that my makeup goes on a lot better after i have these masks on. haha whenever my mom goes back to taiwan i always make her bring me a whole hoard of them home c:
I should try this too! Like in the mornings on the weekend! What a way to start a day!
I love MBD mask! I stocked up when I was in Korea and I love who there is a plastic sheet on the mask that you have to peel before you use it :) Out of a lot of masks I’ve tried, MBD never disappoints when it comes to moisturizing! :D
Agreed on the plastic sheet! SOOOO much easier to open up compared to other brands that don’t have the mask peel off a sheet.
I still haven’t picked up any MBD Masks ;_; I’ve been hearing about all these fake MBDs so I’ve been kind of hesitant though xP
Have you tried the Macaron one? That sounds lovely!
I read about that too, it’s a shame. Gotta be sure you’re getting the real deal of course!
I haven’t tried the macaron one, though I’d like to! I did try the chocolate truffle one though :)
I love My Beauty Diary masks too!! They’re so good on the skin! :)
Very luxurious!
Nice review XD my sister likes this brand though I haven’t had the time to try them out “OTL
Well if you get the chance I hope you love them too!
Before I comment (and apologize for not commenting lately – sick, work, and love life issues) about your blog post I just wanted to say THANK YOU times a million for your package to me. That was completely unnecessary! The fact that I even got an opportunity to buy such an amazing package from you was enough for me regardless of what happened between that and my dog (haha). You are so very kind. I don’t know if you saw my post on my Tumblr (I posted two blogs if I’m not mistaken about the packages), but I just wanted to thank you so so very much.
I have to try out that mask. I heard so much about it!
Thank you for letting me know! Sorry, I’m not on Tumblr as much as I used to be so I missed them, but I’m just SO happy it arrived and that your dog didn’t eat it this time xDD!! I’m also glad I was able to find a few more Sanrio things at my office :) I just felt that it really sucked so much of the stuff you ordered got destroyed and it probably really bummed you out, so, just a little pick-me-up!
my best friend actually uses this brand of masks and she LOVES it hahaha
im thinking of getting some myself but am unsure as to what would be suiitable for my skin type because its a cross between oily/combination skin :(
Definitely think about your skin’s needs. I’m the same, combination. And I like the moisturizing ones for when my skin gets more on the dry side. The Mixed Berries version is really nice, smells great, and good for just basic skincare :)
What a coincidence! I just recently purchased their “strawberry yogurt” mask. lol. I’ve been getting these dark spots left behind from pimples lately and it doesn’t seem to fade away. I’m hoping the strawberry mask will help as it has “whitening” effect.
Oh I hope it helps too! Anything to get those dark spots to fade more quickly!
I’m very glad that you explained the whole whitening-effect because I always thought that it made you paler which sounds anything other than healthy and nourishing. But now I know! Thanks! ^_^
Haha, nah, whitening is just really good for dark spots and evening out skintone. I know some products are more intense whitening for real change but this definitely isn’t one of them.
love that mask too
no wonder it looks different to mine, its the english version :)
Yeah this is the first time I’ve seen an English version too!
I really love facial masks and use them about twice a week, I usually use those fresh masks from Lush ;) I also have to be careful about break outs ;__; but I’d love to try out other facials, too!
Twice a week! I’d like to get back to that routine too!
I have the Earl Grey Tea & Macaroon one and I am absolutely in love with it. I really wanted to try the Black Pearl one :D
Oh and I would like to try the macaron one!!! I have the chocolate truffle version and it’s pretty great too but I really liked this Black Pearl one!
I have been using the MISSHA masks, and so far they are all really good!~ The price is nice too, since they costs like US$1~US$3. I need to try Beauty Diary masks >: Almost all reviews that i saw, said they were great~
Oh Missha masks! It didn’t occur to me they would do masks too! I’ve never seen them :) I use Missha BB Cream *happily*
I love the black pearl mask :)! I still have a bunch but haven’t had the time to use them. This post makes me want to go pamper my skin now XD;;
Definitely! TREAT YO’SELF!
I just ordered a box. (FYI) I used the coupons code FACEBOOK5 and got 5 dollars off my order ;). Ever since you recommended the acne care system from Clinique I have been hooked on your skin care suggestions! The Clinique system works sooo well for me, I’m so happy! This mask sounds really good too and 10 in one box is a pretty good deal.
:OOO I didn’t know about that discount! Fantastic!
The Clinique routine is working for you too then?! AH I’M SOOO GLAD!!!!!! If my routine can work for even just one other person it was worth posting! I know the perils of BATTLING bad skin ;__;
DEFINITELY going to try these! ♥
You’ll love them, a nice little timeout at the end of the day!
I have this one and I love it!! It’s very soothing and I notice my face is brighter.
You do?? These are SO great! I think I’m gonna grab some more, they were instantly my favorites :)
Masks like these tickle my face hehe
Haha it is a bit… hmm, suffocating in a way!? And for 20~30 minutes too.
i’ve been using my beauty diary masks for a few years now too ! hahah
i love trying all their new sweets “flavors” ~ :)
for instance the earl gray tea one moisturizes really well but every time i use it i end up craving earl gray tea ! lol
I really want to try that one too!
This is one of my fav too! Everytime after using it, I can see my skin glow and seems fairer too! I used to purchase them in bulk over a blog community but I’ve been lazy and hardly use sheet masks now.
I’m currently using wash off masks like Origins Drink Up or Laneige Water Sleeping Pack Ex and Tony Moly Tomato Brightening and Whitening Mask. The latter is more for whitening, and it does instant brightening! The other two are for hydration.
Do you prefer sheet masks? or wash off mask? =)
I do prefer sheet masks mostly. They tend to break me out less. My one exception is this Mint Julep acne mud mask I use. it’s a cream wash off and I like it because I can do just spot treatments with it :)
Whitening of any discoloration would be good (scars, dark circles, moles…) I do want to try these! Thanks for the review!
This sounds really nice. I can’t remember the last time my face felt “refreshed”!
