I bought a couple of Missha's sheet masks so I will write about my impression on them. I had to buy them individually than as a pack so I cannot say much about the effectiveness of the product from just using one. I have bought the pearl and the lemon mask. The packaging is rather big compare to My Beauty Diary's masks. One side has a macro photo of the mask's feature ingredient which is attractive, the other side is white with directions, info, and ingredients list in english and korean. There is no plastic copy along with the mask like My Beauty Diary does so its not as heavy. There's also not as much serum in the masks as My Beauty Diary. The cotton mask has a slight textured grain to it. The shape of the mask is like a football where its wider but height is shorter. It still fits my entire face, and there's also a flap for your eyelids but I just overlap it. Because its a bit big on my there is alot of wrinkles and overlaps when I wear it. The mouth cut is too big for me but the eye cut is perfect.

The pearl mask is for brightening and vitalizing. Making dull and darkened skin more clear and youthful. There is fragrance and alcohol denat. in this mask so its doesn't have the greatest of smell. Because there isn't so much serum in the mask like My Beauty Diary, it took about 20 minutes for the mask to feel dry enough for me to remove it. It was also easier to pat and massage the remaining serum since there really isn't much left so it made it easier. My skin did look brighter has use so that is a plus. There isn't alot in the ingredients list so I will put it up as its listed on the packaging: Water(Aqua), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Pearl Extract, Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenyl Trimethicone, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methylparaben, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Dipotassium Glycyizate, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Polyacrylate, Propylparaben, Disodium EDTA.

If you read the list, you will noticed there are parabens in this mask. If you are concerned about them please do not buy! I did not get irritated or had any weird reactions to using the product, but since there are studies saying parabens are harmful I will not be buying these anymore. Although I did get a small breakout the day after using the pearl mask, but whether the mask caused it or not I can't really say.

The lemon mask is for trouble skin and helps with excessive sebum and large pores. It doesn't have a strong alcohol smell compare to the pearl mask. I also didn't really see much of a difference before and after using the mask. It did help lower oils from produces on my face so that's a plus.
Here's the ingredients list for the lemon mask: Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Citrus Medica Limonum(Lemon) Fruit Extract, Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenyl Trimethicone, Methylparaben, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Dipotassium Glycrrhizate, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Triethanalamine, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Polyacrylate, Propylparaben, Trisodium EDTA, Fragrance(Parfum)

Overall, I think these are good masks for the price, but because it contains parabens I wouldn't buy anymore.
