Lush Cupcake Face Mask

My sister purchased this and left it in the fridge... One night when I was rummaging I spotted it. Even though I read that this is for oily skin (I have dry skin), I couldn't resist trying it.

The smell of this is actually heaven. It is a gorgeous chocolatey smell that reminds me a lot of a chocolate face mask I got in a memebox. Because it smells soooo good I had to taste it... Don't taste it! Hahaha. It smells delicious but tastes revolting.

Because it was kept in the fridge, it felt super soothing and cooling on my face. It was easy to apply (albeit a little messy), and rinsed off easily.

Because I am stubborn, I ignored the fact that when I used this my skin felt (and looked), drier. It definitely does what it says it will - this would be perfect for those with oily skins, but isn't good for us dry skinned ladies.

Upon using this, my face felt tight and after rinsing it off and letting my face dry, my skin looked and felt dehydrated. Yet still I used it more than once.

If you have dry skin, keep away from this - no matter how delicious it smells. It really dried my skin out and made my face feel tight.

Needless to say I wouldn't purchase this.

I had to try out this mask after seeing all the great reviews on here and hearing incredible things from a friend. To sum up my reaction in one word - WOW!

I am normally a huge fan of anything from Lush, but at the moment this one takes the cake. The mask is from their Fresh range, which means it's made with all natural and fresh ingredients, expires sooner, and is kept in the iced area of the store. I personally love the idea of a product so fresh, even if it does put a little pressure on in terms of using it up!

The scent is AMAZING - this mask actually smells like a rich chocolate cupcake! What I love about this scent, however, it that it doesn't overwhelm you with rich chocolatey-ness like other masks have done (eg the Freeman Chocolate and Strawberry mask). There is the perfect amount of mint in this mask as well to balance it out with some freshness.

Cupcake comes in the typical black, recycled, screw top Lush container. It's texture is very thick, and the product is a dark brown chocolately colour. It applies easily to your skin, and dries within 10-15 minutes. I found no tightness or irritation on my skin after use, which was great because my skin is quite sensitive.

I absolutely noticed results from this mask. I use it in the evenings before going to bed, and wake up with calmer skin and fewer breakouts. Definitely works! Now, if only this came as a daily cleanser...

I love how this product was formulated for my exact skin type (oily teenage skin). I'm always sceptical when buying from Lush as they're quite pricey but I was desperate, and they gave me a free sample of it! I love the sample so much that I got the full size. It has such an amazing scent and consistency. I feel like this made my pores a lot smaller and cleared up my skin really well, I just feel like it cleans my skin really well, It's slightly exfoliating so I like to jump in the shower after I've put it on and rub it with warm water so it gets deep into my pores.

I was lucky enough to receive a voucher for Lush along with a tub of my all time favourite Lush product- Lemony Flutter as a gift from my little brother for Christmas. As I usually just order off their website I'd put off using my voucher until I had a free day last week and decided to take a trip to the Newmarket store for a day out and Cupcake Face Mask was one of my purchases. As my skin has been a bit unpredictable and oily the past six months from medications, I decided this mask sounded like it would be fantastic for my skin and I'm soooo glad I purchased it! It smells amazing, when it dries the scent reminds me of lolly slice which happens to be one of my favourite childhood treats!! It instantly feels soothing as it's cool from being kept in the fridge and the mint in it gives a tingling feeling which feels like it gets the blood flowing through my skin properly. I really can't fault this stuff aside of maybe the price and the short expiration period. I will have no problem at all using it up but it won't be a monthly purchase for me, I will buy it as a treat every now and then though :)

I've been addicted to Lush products for quite some time, but for some reason I only just started using this brilliant face mask.

I have oily, acne prone skin and rarely find a product that accomplishes anything noteworthy. However, I am glad to say that this face mask has started to work it's magic on my complexion. My pores appear to have shrunk and have less clogging them up - which is something no other mask has been able to accomplish.

What's more, the smell is absolutely delish! This, combined with the soft granules, make it a divine face mask I recommend wholeheartedly to everyone with problem skin.

Imagine smearing yourself in rich chocolate with a hint of mint....mmmmm. This mask smells divine and is perfect for a calorie free chocolate treat. The clays seemed to help with my oily combination skin, with the mint leaving my skin fresh.

I love this face mask! I got this as I use a mask 2-3 times a week, depending on what my skin needs. I use this one every weekend. Have been for about four months now. It smells GREAT! My step daughter likes to sniff my face every time I have it on and she cannot wait till she is a teen to use this. (Eeeek please NO).

It is such an amazing face mask and my skin is so much clearer after using this. I hardly breakout at all!

I used this mask after hearing rave reviews about the lush face masks - boy was I wrong! I spent the next week in hiding as my skin had broken out in places it never breaks out in! Had massive pimples everywhere, would not recommend to ladies with sensitive skin!

This is the first ever Lush product I ever used, while I no longer use this mask because I've moved onto a better suited one my skin seemed to actually clear up alot while using this! also my skin was less red and I felt clean and ready for the next step in my skincare routine. The smell is so yummy which was what actually made me start using this, (along with the fact is is armed for young oily skin)but the only thing is you can't leave it on for really long because it starts to get quite flaky. I got so many uses out of it so the price us definitely very good for what you get out of it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that whats to feel like they're in a spa and have acne prone oily skin.

I'm not one for regularly using masks, but I received a tub of this at a Lush party recently so it would have been wasteful not to give it a good try.

First off, the scent was deliciously chocolatey and it went on smoothly. It rinsed off easily and I found my face felt noticeably smooth and soft right into the next day.

For someone who has been reasonably sceptical about masks in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this one. I intend to buy it again.
