My Beauty Diary recently released this new Aroma Collection Box featuring three of their new aroma masks…and I found them at my local asian supermarket! Read on for in depth reviews of each new aroma series mask, as well as some bonus mask reviews in the collection box!

I found this at some random asian supermarket in Houston’s Chinatown (Jusgo if you were wondering lol) a couple weeks ago. This was the last box that they had and it was $17! They were also selling the 10 piece boxes of the aroma masks as well. Not gonna lie, the packaging is what drove me to buy it…and well, I do not regret it one bit!

The box is so beautiful :’)

Time to open the box!

There are 16 masks total.

5x My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Mask

Mask 5x My Beauty Diary Mexico Cactus Mask

Mask 2x My Beauty Diary Aroma Series Rose Brightening Mask

Mask 2x My Beauty Diary Aroma Series Citrus Firming Mask

Mask 2x My Beauty Diary Aroma Series Vanilla Moisturizing Mask

Now onto the aroma mask reviews!

My Beauty Diary Aroma Series Rose Brightening Mask:

The ingredients look the same as pretty much every other MBD mask. The main draw here is the Rose/rosewood oil and extracts here that make this mask smell like…roses! It’s a pretty nice scent that lasts quite a while. There are an abundance of fruit extracts(citrus especially) that may call for some concern such as photo sensitivity, but they are in such small doses, and I really doubt you will hurting from them. If you’re wary about that, then make sure you use these only at night lol. Other than that, everything is classic sheet mask greatness. Licorice extract is there for brightening the skin since this is a “brightening” mask.

These are soaked with essence!

There is a plastic backing to keep the mask in place/make it easier to unfold.

The mask is the same as a regular MBD mask. They are cut on the chin part…which I hate, because it makes that part always dangle off. These smell like roses. It can be a little in your face with the scent, but if you’ve tried a MBD before, you know that they are already pretty fragranced. I have never tried the regular rose MBD so for all I know, they could smell the same haha. As for how well this worked..they are great! My face was moisturized after and in the morning. There was no dry patches, and everything was plump! Awesome! I can’t say it did any better at brightening than my fave black pearl, but it was still noticeable. 4/5

My Beauty Diary Aroma Series Citrus Firming Mask

This is pretty much the same as before, but with more citrus extracts and my train of thought is the same as before. If you want to be extra careful, use this only at night. There is also Licorice root extract here, but in a lot less dosage. There is also an added retinol, which makes this a “firming” mask. Retinol is a vit A that helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

I love the smell of this. This smells like orange flavored chewing gum. It’s very mild compared to most MBD masks, so that is different. . The mask shape is the same as before. As usual, these are soaked in essence. This one felt great. So far my favorite of the two. I woke up with a nice glow again haha. Awesome. 5/5

My Beauty Diary Aroma Series Vanilla Moisturizing Mask

Same as the other ones except with added vanilla fruit extract. I have never really heard of vanilla used in skincare, but this is a moisturizing mask, so it really doesn’t matter what they put in haha. All masks hydrate. The smell is more like a magnolia flower. It doesn’t smell like cake or vanilla extract. The scent is actually very natural and not that artificial which I like. This was another moisturizing mask from MBD!

BONUS! Quick Regular My Beauty Diary Mask Reviews!

My Beauty Diary Mexico Cactus Mask

Other than obviously the cactus extract (opuntia streptacantha), which is supposedly hydrating, there is licorice root extract (brightening), as well as a crap ton of floral extracts (per usual from a my beauty diary mask) from seaweed to mullberry.

This has a sweet scent and it was very hydrating. Not much more to say, than it was better than average as far as sheet masks go!

My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Mask

This mask includes hyaluronic acid, which is great for moisturzing because it can retain a lot more water in weight. Not much else to say that hasn’t been already said haha. I’m sure ya’ll are already tired of reading the same ingredients list!

These are a reliable favorite of mine. They smell like the generic sweet mbd scent for those “flavors” with no particular scent like black pearl, pearl, arbutin, etc. This was a hydrating mask for sure, and definitely one of the better MBD masks! These do leave my face a little sticky afterwards, but it’s all good….just pat it in or let it dry.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Wow this box collection is awesome. I got it for a great price too ($16.99 for 16 masks). The aroma masks smell great, but they are not much different from the regular masks, which shouldn’t be a surprise since they cost the same. All in all, these are all solid masks, and I would recommend them to anyone who likes mbd masks. The heavy fragrance may be a turn off to some, but I find them to smell very pleasant, AND they work wonders for my skin. As you can tell, 95% of all the my beauty diary masks share the same ingredients, so if one works for you, it is a good bet that they all will haha. Of course everyone is different, so patch test if you want :). Overall these masks are about 4-5 out of 5 :)
