Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser

I've been using this for a few weeks but I'm still on the fence with this one. I received a generous sample of it when I made another Lush purchase and the small pot of it has lasted well, even using it twice a day.

My combination skin tends more towards dry patches. It's a very gentle product that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry after using it, but on the other hand it's so mild that I'm not always convinced that my face is completely clean after using it. I normally take my eye makeup off with a removal product before cleansing but I find that this doesn't always take away all the traces of black that I occasionally miss like other cleansers would.

It has an unusual, almost solid and crumbly texture before you mix it with water and I found that it was quite messy to use and it's easy to get lumps of it in your mouth in the shower. That may just be poor technique on my part but sometimes it just feels like a chore to use when I'm tired. Let's face it, I'm always tired when I'm washing my face as it's first thing in the morning or bedtime, so I like my routine to be as easy as possible. I'm not the biggest fan of lavender scents but others may love the strong smell of this one.

My skin has been well behaved while I have been using this but I'm not sure whether I would go out and purchase this one once I run out of the sample. It has been good, but not amazing for me. I prefer their Aquamarina cleanser.

My first impression of this product was - How do i use this? My overall impression is amazement. I adore this product so much it has become a staple in my regime, particularly when my skin is reacting badly to something (internal or external).

This feels super strange when you wet it, the paste is a little distracting when you first use it but the cleansing power of this product is amazing. I love how it makes my skin feel after using it, and it even removes makeup pretty darn well as well. I used it twice if I was removing makeup. It left my skin feeling so fresh, and supple most nights I didn't even need to moisturize because everything was balanced out so well. Super amazing product, and amazing for ALL Skin Types.

Angels is a lovely soft exfoliating cleanser. The Kaolin is really absorbent and helps to unclog pores, while ground almonds gently buff away dead skin. The lavender is quite delicious and helps with balancing sebum. Overall it's a nice cleanser, especially for people with 'normal' skin. (I personally needs something a little more heavy duty, so I prefer Herbalism and Aqua Marina for my acne prone complexion.) This is great for people who want a simple yet effective cleanser that is made of the very best fresh ingredients

Lush is such an amazing brand and this cleanser is my new favourite! Some one described this as playdough with twigs in it.. But it is so much more than that!! The fornula is creamy and smells like lavender. Ground almond is scattered throughout the cleanser and helps to gently cleanse the face. You only need a pea sized amount of product and then you mix it together in your hands with a bit of water to create a paste. I have normal to oily skin with the occasional breakout. I use this cleanser twice a day and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and well nourished. I love how soft my skin feels and I will definitely repurchase. I reccomend this to all my friends with normal to oily skin. I'm not sure how this would work if you had problematic skin but the staff at lush are great and would be able to give the right advice x

I love this cleanser with a difference! The unique texture of a cleanser and scrub that you mix with water yourself to achieve the best texture to suit your skin. I love that this is power packed with soothing healing ingredients, ideal for anyone with irritated combination skin. I found the shelf life (although short) matched the rate I got through the pot of cleanser and I loved the gentle scrub effect I got from using a clay based cleanser.

The sales assistant at Lush told me this cleanser was their top seller. And I can definitely see why. I have combination type skin and have always had small breakouts around my nose and cheeks. Since using this cleanser both morning and night my skin has improved dramatically, I honestly don't remember the last time it was this smooth and pimple-free. This cleanser has evened out my skin tone and made it a lot more softer and supple.

I thought it would be a hassle to have to wet the product and work into a paste but since getting the hang of it I can easily wash and dry my face within a minute.

I love this facial wash. It's supposed to be a scrub sort of wash but it's gentle enough for daily use. I first discovered this when I was having quite a few pimples that weren't going away and my face skin was red. I used this and within the next few days the redness seemed to have diminished and the pimples started going away. After I knew I had to have it. It smells a bit herbal and a lot like lavender, it actually has little bits of the lavender flower in it. One of the things I like about it is how soft and smooth your face feels but also the herbal oils and glycerine in the cleanser moisturize your face in the shower so that when you come out if it takes you awhile to moisturize your body you face isn't all dry. I've used this cleanser a few days after a microdermabrasion treatment and it was nice and gentle on my skin. The only cons to this cleanser is that when you take a pinch to make a paste and then rub it on your face little bits of lavender flower get all over the sink and the other thing is the cleanser has a shelf life of three months unlike other cleansers. But other than that it's a wonderful cleanser good for all skin types and really good for those that haven't gotten into the habit of moisturizing daily as this puts a bit of moisture on the skin so it wouldn't be as dry. This is probably my favourite product from Lush so far.

This cleansing scrub is a delight to use. At first I found the scent odd, but I quickly grew to appreciate the fact the scent was entirely natural, as a consequence of the ingredients. The star ingredient in this cleanser is almond, which provides texture to scrub your skin, but also moisturises, leaving your face feeling soft and smooth. <3

This was a mask I had heard amazing things about, plus I had seen the reviews on BR which we all know are worth their weight in gold. So, off I went to lush to get this lovely mask.

Like the majority of lush’s masks, this one come in a small black container, which I like because it is part of their recycling campaign, and means I am one step closer to getting that free face mask! Yippee.

The mask, well I’ll be honest. It’s not the prettiest mask iv ever seen. In fact, it’s nowhere close to being the prettiest masks I’ve ever seen. It’s a grey-ish colour in colour, and has a crumbly, but mouldable consistency (a consistency similar to other masks in the lush range). The mask is speckled with fresh lavender pieces, and at times I find the lavender smell to be quite intense, which is understandable considering the mask, is all over your face and right under your nose (literally).

This cleanser works by placing a small amount of the cleanser in the palm of our hand and mixing it with water to make a paste. When the water is added, the cleanser turns into a milky paste. But even with a bit of mixing and rubbing, I found it was really hard to get an even consistency with this paste. Nonetheless I still use it, and just try to spread it as evenly as possible over my face which is easy enough to do. Leave it for 30 seconds or so, and then rub the mask all over my face.

Firstly, the small lavender chunks feel so lovely when they are being moved all over you face because they are just so gentle, and that paired with the gentle exfoliation from the almond makes this mask feel so good to use. Plus, when I wash the cleanser off, my skin looks so fresh and clean. Although I do find this mask ever so slightly dry my cheeks out, but since I use this at night, I follow this mask with my night time cream.

I do like using this mask, even though at times I can find the lavender scent a little strong (I’m not a big fan of lavender). Overall, I would consider re-purchasing this mask, mainly because it does actually even out my skin tone, but it would not be my first choice from the amazing range of masks available at lush.

I love the history of this product and I love how Lush has brought some cultural history into the beauty market by giving us this product we never knew existed. Formulated in the medieval times, people were believed to be witches if they created this magic pot - That's what drew me into buying this, It wasn't disappointing it accomplished what it set out to do. It made my face brighter, cleared scarring (although I hardly noticed, mum said it did) and gave my skin a even texture. I love how unique the products are compared to other out there in the market when it comes to applying the paste to your face, it's messy. But at the same time, it does wonders to your face and body. I hardly ever got a breakout when I was on this.
