Lush Cupcake Face Mask

This face mask smells incredible!! It smells like chocolate!! I love how fresh the lush face masks are and the great ingredients they use. This face mask left my skin feeling smooth and soft, however a little bit dry. I know it's great for acne-prone, oily skin and as I have dry/combination skin I did expect this effect. However I had to try it because it smelt so good.

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.

This product does exactly what it says it will. Its really mattifying so great for oily skin, but even though my skin is oily/combo I found it still stung when first applied. I dont actually like how it has to be kept in the fridge, i find it unpleasant to put chilled things on my skin! However, my skin is always so soft and smooth after applying this mask and yes - it smells good enough to eat!

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.

I am a teenager, so this is fantastic for me. I Have oily, combination skin and this helps lessen the amount of oil... Quite pricy considering one tub expires after 2 weeks, but if you have 5 tubs you can get one for free! smells amazing though, and really leaves your skin soft and supple.

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

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 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 was so excited to try this mask as who doesn't like the idea of spearing cupcakes all over their face lol. Its supposed to have a mint smell to it but sadly I couldn't smell it but no worries, it still smelt nice without it. So when you think cupcake or chocolate you thing like chocolate bar chocolate, unfortunately to me this didn't smell like that kind of chocolate, more like baking chocolate i.e. not as sweet. I did find it quite hard to spread over my face once it had been in the fridge but it was okay as once it started to be smoothed over the skin, it melted with its normal temperature. While it started to dry, I could feel it start to tighten and then as it got dry it started to crumble which I found a wee bit messy and the clean up process was just as messy. Once I had washed it off, my face was a teensy bit red but it died down after a minute or two and my face looked and felt radiant. I couldn't stop touching my face. I highly recommend this mask.

I have normal to very mildly oily skin and this is how it worked for me.

Not only does the smell of cocoa and mint send me off into paradise, the cocoa left my skin feeling moisturised after washing it off. My skin also smelt like delicious cocoa for hours! The mint gave it a fresh feeling leaving my skin felling cleansed.
