MASKS GALORE! Sister Diary & My Scheming Review

I went crazy and bought 8 boxes of paper masks.

And this will be an overall review of the masks ;P I've only bought from 2 brands this time round, and it was Sister Diary and also My Scheming, both brands are from Taiwan.

What I've bought:
Sister Diary

  • Cherry Arbutin Mask
  • Grape Seed Hyaluronic Mask
  • Apple Polyphenol Platinum Mask
  • Rice Yeast Mask
  • Black Diamond Caviar Mask

My Scheming:
  • Bulgarian Rose Whitening Mask
  • Natto Extract Hydrating Mask
  • Pentadecpeptide + Amino Mask
They were so so affordable while on sale! Roughly about RM1.50 per piece. Beats those counterfeit ones you see selling in Pasar Malam.

In case you are wondering, I bought these on Hermo during their 3rd anniversary sale, some were nearing expiry date (Oct/Nov 2015) but I use 2 pcs weekly so I guess I can manage hehe.

One thing that differentiates Taiwanese vs Korean masks is the sticky feeling after you remove the paper masks. Personally I feel that Korean masks are stickier than Taiwanese masks, possibly due to difference in humidity in those two countries :) 

I've tried ALL of the masks I've listed above and I really can't decide which one I like most! It's like having to pick between all types of cheese cakes zomg.

I'll be writing about my impressions about these different masks. The one thing in common about these two brands is that the paper masks are so thin! and feels very soft.



First one! Sister Diary Cherry Arbutin Mask- For whitening and moisture fix. Okay-ish, however it doesn't impress me in the whitening department. I'll give it a 3.5/5.


Sister Diary Apple Polyphenol Platinum Mask fared better- it functions to revitalise and repair skin plus some serious moisturising going on. I loved this one. Makes my skin feel more alive. 4.5/5.

The Grape Seed Hyaluronic mask functions to moisturise your skin. I felt that it performs slightly better than the Cherry Arbutin Mask and I'm rating it at 4/5.

Rice Yeast Mask calms and repair the skin, and I liked this one too! It gives my skin a brightened look, calms my stressed skin so I will rate it 4/5.

Now, the last of the Sister Diary variant- Black Diamond Caviar Mask claims to repair and protect, and fights ageing signs. The paper mask is black in colour and this mask functions well too. Softens and makes my skin look brighter and moisturised. A 4.5/5.

My Scheming is also a Taiwanese brand and I only bought 3 variants from the brand. The Bulgarian Rose Whitening Mask claims to whiten and moisturise skin. This one smells like roses + other flowers. Very moisturising but not really a must-have in my book. A 3.8/5.

The Natto Extract Hydrating Mask smells nothing like natto, thank goodness! It functions wonderfully to hydrate and provides nutrient to my skin. I'm rating it a 4.5/5.


Jeng jeng, the last one of the bunch and also admittedly one of my favourites, the Pentadecpeptide + Amino Mask. Makes my skin feels softer, more energized and nourished. I'm rating it 4.8/5!

When you have loads of different types to choose from, life gets easier as you can find something to suit your skin's needs! Haha. I also liked using paper masks because they are so convenient plus so so relaxing after a long day.

Till next time!
