Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask

I bought this on the recommendation of the girl in the shop, before I really knew anything about my skin and how to take care of it.

It smells divine, the pot is quite small but a little goes a long, long way. It made my skin feel super soft for the first few hours after I washed it off, but then my skin went as dry as the Sahara.

The downside to using products like this with fresh ingredients is that it definitely has an expiry date, and there's a lot of product to use before it goes 'off' so maybe if you bought one pot for a girls night, that'd be great.

It's a nice product, and I can definitely see how it would work for other peoples' skin, however it didn't work for mine in the long run.

I have sensitive but acne prone skin too and find a lot of acne specific things agitate my skin and just make it worse. this product clears it up with the anti-oxidants and soothes it as well. I think it's great for any one. the smell is amazing too.

I bought this on recommendation from the girls in the Lush shop and ever since have been a total convert. The lovely product smells delicious, and feels lovely on the skin. The calming properties in the mask reduce any redness and any spots. Due to the fresh ingredients it needs to be kept in the fridge which gives it a coolness which makes you adds another aspect of freshness when using.

Wow this stuff is amazing. I love how it is fresh and feels really cool when you put it on (has to be stored in the fridge). It feels really nice, not too tight as some masks can be. Only downside to this is that it has a short shelf (fridge) life so if you don't get to use it all, its recommended that it be thrown away.

I cannot rate this face mask high enough! It smells so gorgeous, and feels even better on your face. At $18.90 I think it is very reasonably priced, considering it goes a long way - plus if you save your LUSH pottles (like the one this one comes in) and bring 5 into the store, they give you a face mask for free!

This mask has a mud-mask like quality, and smells like citrus and blueberries. Once on, you can feel it tighten as it dries and works its magic. Great for oily skin and blackheads as it draws it right out of the skin.

Absolutely amazing! A little goes a long way, smells gorgeous, feels gorgeous and leaves the skin feeling great. Nice refreshing, cool feeling. Beautiful!

I really like this mask..it is so cooling, calming and refreshing. It brightened my skin noticeably and just felt like such a pampering treat. However, my skin didn't feel any more nourished than normal which I do look for in a face mask but then, it never claimed to moisturise or smooth skin. Just to calm and cool so it does exactly what it says very well and I will definitely be using it again.

I love trying out face masks, and lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask has such a yummy look that I knew it was going to be fun. I invited my hubby to try it as well and we had an unplanned"Halloween" party, both of us looking like smurfs, and it was so nice... The mask has a wonderfully fruity smell to it and you can see the actual pieces of blueberry as you spread the mask all over you face. Although very easy to spread, the mask has a scrub feeling to it and acts as a relaxing massage while the strong fresh fragrance fills your lungs. It dries up pretty fast and stays in place without falling apart or cracking with a surprisingly uniform texture. Your skin will feel really dry very quickly - think Sahara desert -but after you remove the mask with warm water you start feeling the almond oil still working to make your skin feel soft, maybe not so moist as one could expect... The Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask was not a Catastrophe at all. The smurf colour of the mask made me smile and it does seem to work well on the skin making it feel smooth and tight. Overall a good pleasant product.

For reference I have sensitive skin and use Dr Haushcka/Olay products. I have used Lush's sacred truth mask before with no problems but decided to try something new. Big mistake! The two times I have used this (2 weeks apart) I have had a huge breakout on my chin! Although my skin is sensitive products don't usually make me break out but this does :( I will give it another go but something in this isn't agreeing with me unfortunately.
