Lush Cupcake Face Mask

I've been curious about this one for a long gime, so decided to give it a go. i've used it every week for ther last month or so, and really? it did nothing for me. Like any mud mask, it leaves the skin feeling smooth and clean, I liked that this one didn't dry me out, but it's really nothing to write home about. I like skinfood's rotorua mask beacause I can actually see the oil being absorbed from my pores, this didn't do anytbing drastic for me. It feels lovely, and it smells very nice, it's non drying, but I probably wouldn't bother to buy it again, especially as you're meant to keep it in the fridge- that's way to much admin for me!

The first thing I noticed about this face mask is how incredibly delicious it smells! It's a mixture of chocolate and peppermint and is so hard not to eat. It's such a lovely feeling mask to have on not only because it smells wonderful, but also because it doesn't dry out quickly. Even when you wash it off, it left my skin feeling very soft and not dry at all - even in winter! However, other than leaving my skin feeling soft and being great for a bit of pamper time, I haven't noticed any significant changes in my skin. It also doesn't come in the largest pot, so it does run out quite quickly. I do love though that it's full of fresh, natural ingredients.

For a year or so I had this face mask on my wishlist. Fresh face masks are so different to the standard sachet masks. I enjoy Lush Face Masks for when I want a natural face mask cleanse. After reading Soozies wonderful review it sealed the deal for me to try it. I traded my five pots to receive this mask as a free one.

Typically all lush masks come in black pots. I was told in store that Lush will only be collecting black pots for free face masks. The consistency of this mask is thick a bit grainy . Not sure what's in it but it's not too coarse. The scent of it reminds me of sweet chocolate cupcake batter.

When I applied it I could smell this heavenly chocolate scent. After 15 minutesI notice that this dries down . After washing it off my skin feels hydrated .

Once my fresh Lush Masks hit expiry I normally use them as a foot mask for my home pedicures. I do those once a week.

Lush used to offer Face Masks as samplesbut not any more. The price point for this mask is fair. You can easily get 10 decent applications from one pot making it worth while.

I came across the fresh face masks one day and I love them! first of all they are displayed in the store in such a beautiful way and you get tips and what to use for different reasons. I love the cupcake one and I love how you store them in the fridge to keep them SO FRESH!!! LOVE

I popped into my local Lush store a few months ago to once again purchase my beloved mask of magnaminty. It is a mask that will clear up my acne prone skin more so than any other product, without fail. Shock horror - they were out of stock. I was in the middle of a break out and desperately needed an alternative so the lovely Lush lady introduced me to the cupcake mask. I am a big fan of cupcakes and chocolate and she promised that it performed similarly to the mask of magnaminty.

I tried it out that night and was certainly impressed. It has a fresh, 'real' cocoa smell that isn't overpowering and is much more pleasant than the Palmer's cocoa butter scent. It is dark brown in colour and applies easily and evenly over the face. It felt refreshing but not as tingly as the mask of magnaminty, which was a nice change.

After rinsing the mask off my skin felt clean and refreshed. My blemishes already felt smaller in size and by the morning they were significantly smaller. Like the mask of magnaminty, the cupcake face mask stopped me from breaking out further and calmed the blemishes that I already had. This cupcake face mask is available in a smaller size than the mask of magnaminty which is great due to the reasonably short expiry date on fresh face masks. The Lush cupcake face mask is a must have for anyone who suffers from break outs and is a gentle option with instant results.

I have tried about 4 different face masks from Lush alone and quite a few other brands and have to say this is one of my favourites. The smell, as you can see from the other reviews, is amazing!!!! You legit just want to eat it all (I would suggest having some chocolate before using this facemask so it's not as bad haha).

I really hate how oily my skin can get sometimes so nothing cheers me up as much as using this face mask. Honestly after you take it off there is zero oil any where on my face.

The only downside I find to it is that it is very hard to use it all up before the best before date. I normally use it maybe 4 times and then end up using some of my mum and sister just to use up.

I do however love the pacakging. While it may look like a simple black pot it is actually made from 100% recycled plastic and Lush allows you to bring 5 of these pots back to get a free face mask yay!

This mask is really good for my skin, pampering yet gentle enough for me to use(even on sensitive skin),I love the smell of the chocolate scent , its so yummy. over all i think that its a brilliant product, very pampering and good results.! buy it over and over again

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.
