Invented with teenage skin in mind

Cupcake is our one Fresh Face Mask that was created for a bit of fun. At the time, our inventor’s daughter was a young girl having slumber parties with her girlfriends every weekend, so he whipped up a chocolate mint mask for young, oily skin (officially solidifying him as the coolest dad ever). If you suffer from oily or spotty skin, slather it in this cocoa concoction. With spearmint oil to cool, vanilla absolute to calm redness and Rhassoul mud to deeply cleanse- Cupcake is a sweet savior for young faces. Smothering yourself in chocolate for clearer skin? Every teenage girl’s dream. .

My Go To Face Mask

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!

Tips: Keep the pots so that you can get your free facemask in return

I love your tip! I actually was drooling over the scent of this the last time I went into LUSH. It sucks this is more for oily skin as I have dry skin. The scent is soooooooooooooo delicious.

Cupcakes Are Awesome!

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 :)

Tips: Does going to the Newmarket store count as a tip? I've always had great customer service at Lush stores both here and in Oz, but the girls working at Newmarket the day I went in were so amazing and knowledgeable!

Fav Lush mask!

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.

Tips: Try not to eat it!

Fave new brand.

Oooooooh my gosh! The smell of this is amazing!! Lush is my fave new brand I love everything from the store. I have oily skin a lot threw the hotter months. So I've been looking for something to help that but not something that's full of chemicals. It actually works. After a couple of times I noticed it took a lot longer for my skin to get oily again. I don't use other products on my face besides nude by nature mineral powder as I get acne if I use foundations. It's hard to stop yourself from tasting the face mask haha.

Tips: Leave it for about 10mins longer than what it says to. As I seen some oil start coming threw the mask

chocolate cheeseball

i am such a cheeseball when i first smell this product, it is one of my favourite face masks to date. i apply it ony on my t-zone because this is my problematc area and i like to make the most of this mask and use sparingly, the active ingredients in it really help to calm my papules {pimples} and the smell helps to relax me aswell this mask is clay based so it isnt the most convenient mask to remove however it is an overall winner and the price of the mask is good considering the benefits

Tips: apply in the shower after a facial cleanse and/or exfoliant, leave on for atleast 5 minutes while conditioning hair {or shaving} remove with a soft sponge or cloth and enjoy your cupcake cheeseball skin :)

The best I have had

I've tried ALOT of masks, it can be classied as an addiction I am sure but my recent use of Lush Cupcake has be smitten for what it does to my skin plus how it makes me feel.

Lush packaging is well known for it's matte black and stark chalk white writing, it is easy to spot that is for sure. Unsure if this mask was going to work on my oilier than normal skin I only grabbed a small pot, wish now I picked the larger one up as by day 2 of ownership this little black pot was empty as if it was licked bone dry.

The actual mask looks like slightly aerated whipped up nutella with a milk chocolate colour and grainy bit running through it, it is heavily and heavenly bombarded with rich scent of cocoa that it is a mission to not lick your fingers after smothering it all over your face. It also moves across the skin really easy without going thin in areas, keeping a constant consitency all over which I love a full bodied mask.

After the alloted 10 minutes of resting it rinses easily away with the use of a warm wet face cloth and then once patted dry my face was instantly bling! bright and not at all greasy or dry. Perfectly balanced. The added coolness from keeping the mask in the fridge adds the reduction of puffy dark undereyes and adds a refreshing sensation as you relax wearing it. Even though I didn't need to use it on day 2 I did just because I wanted that refreshing feeling again as I sat playing on my tablet.

My skin has been behaving so well since using the mask, with my skin care absorbing faster and my makeup looking smoother and more even. I will be getting this mask again next time I get into Lush and it will be a big pot, unless I can get a bucket full.

I would love a full body of this mask

I gave a full house of kisses for this cupcake mask.

I purchased this recently as I had heard chat of how lovely it is. Opening up the lid you see a chocolate looking mix. You smell a real chocolate fragrance. When you put it on it is really thick. Like really thick!

As you spread on your face you get a hit of peppermint. It is beautiful. I sit watching TV until it had dried up and longer. Using a warm face cloth wash it off. Warmer the better as it sort of hydrates and falls off better. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It also makes all the red vanish from my colouring which I appreciate.

I do like to use a serum before bed. It makes the mask effect so much nicer.

Not just for oily skins

The lovely staff at Lush recommended this to me when I had a couple of spots but not a full on enough break out to warrant the 'wet dog eating garlic' smell of Cosmetic Warrior. I was a bit reluctant as it is for oily skin, which I'm not, and I'm not a fan of the drying sensation of clay masks as it is. But that scent lured me in......mmmmmm. This definitely smells like chocolate-not unlike the smell from the Whitaker's chocolate factory in my town! The sales assistant also tried some on the back of my hand and told me it also contained chunks of cocoa butter so it didn't feel too drying.

This is a really thick mask to apply and it thickens up even more closer to the expiry date. I use an angled foundation brush to apply and slacken it with a drip of water when even that becomes difficult. This is a mask best removed in the shower to save on cleaning up the basin later. I only leave it on for five minutes out of the recommended 5-10. As soon as it starts to feel tight I take it off to avoid my skin drying out. It has a very slight exfoliating texture when you remove it but does not feel irritating at all.

It does leave my skin feeling soft from the cocoa butter. Oilier skins could definitely get away with not moisturising afterwards. The spots I had calmed down after a couple of uses. I used it twice a week to get the most of the pot before the expiry date (Lush masks are ok for a wee while afterwards too but they will get quite thick). I have had a couple of new spots try to come up whilst using this but they haven't really amounted to anything.

This is a great mask that also suits normal skins suffering from break outs if you adjust how long you leave it on for.

A Face mack favourite

This is my all time favorite face mask from lush- it smells of devine chocolate, it's quite a thick yet smooth texture as well, which i like. You do need to be careful to wash it off otherwise it leaves a brown residue on your face- not a good look if you have babies- easily mistaken for something else.

Tips: Always keep in the fridge- the use by date can be extended and it still smells great afterwards.
