As I said, I did NOT get the 88 color pallet from Costal Scents, but instead got a pack of 10 beauty masks from My Beauty Diary. The pack includes Bird's Nest, Black Pearl, Pearl, Aloe, and Japanese Cherry Blossom. Well... after 5 days of waiting... I GOT THEM TODAY!!! Yay!!! I'm very excited to try them out!

Update!:
I just used the Aloe mask on my skin. Enough said. My skin feels like it's having an orgasm. O__O No joke.
When I took the mask out of its packet it was very nicely hydrated. No excess serum was left on the bottom of the packet, yet the mask was sufficiently soaked with it. It has a very pleasant smell. Its very easy to apply. It comes with slits as many beauty masks do and from what I can see it can conform to many face shapes and sizes. It's very very slightly stretchy if you need to stretch it in a few places (for example: eyes or nose area), but overall there's not much stretching that needs to be done. Excess serum on your hands from applying the mask can be massaged into your neck and hands.
How does my skin feel? Well, like I said: like it's having the orgasm of it's life. Haha. It's the first time it's ever felt so refreshed! It has a nice little minty feel to it, yet it's not super strong. VERY subtle and very calming. I feel de-stressed! This thing is amazing! I can't wait to try out the others in my box. O__O Since it's supposed to hydrate I think this would be perfect for a plane ride since its also easy to clean up. No face washing is required after you remove the mask; just take off the mask and massage the rest of the serum onto your face! =D Easy peasy.
Oh my gosh. My skin feels SOOOO soft. Like... BETTER than a baby's skin. I can't stop touching it even though I know I shouldn't!!! ♥
There's more in my blog about the price breakdown of these masks, the price that I paid for them, and verification of the authenticity of the product (since it's so popular there are a few fakes floating around).
More background (what MY skin is like): This is the best thing I've ever put on my skin. Being a uni student I stay up late, work through labs with harsh chemicals, and I don't moisturize my skin as often as I should since I'm always dashing out the door. For the past week or so my skin has been rough, scaly, and dry. Eww... but after using one aloe mask from this set I've been converted.
EVEN BETTER NEWS: The aloe masks contains collagen which will help your skin look younger longer. ♥ Notes about collagen: "collagen keeps the skin firm, flexible, tight and youthful-looking. Younger people have more naturally occurring collagen in their skin than older people. As people age, the collagen in the skin breaks down--leading to wrinkles, and nasiolabial folds around the mouth. As such, stimulating the production of collagen in the skin leads to a more youthful appearance. Moreover, collagen has long been used in cosmetic procedures to combat signs of aging." From ehow.com
