Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask

While my skin isn't really In the catastrophe bracket i have started getting annoying little pimples around my chin and since changing my skin care regime around a bit my normally very dry skin is behaving itself and its nearly normal still a little dry but much better. But I do love the ingredients that are in this and ultimately made me buy it.

Blueberries, they are full of antioxidants and they smell good (and taste good) chamomile, yes let me sit down and relax while I have a face mask on. Irish moss I love eating it, not sure about skin but I'm sure if it tastes good it will smell good.

This is a 'fresh' face mask so it does need to be kept in the fridge also the fresh masks don't have a very long shelf life this one has 21 days so I am using it twice weekly just so I'm not wasting it.

The colour is a mix of grey and blue with big chunks of blueberry In it. It's quite thick and hard to apply its almost like a putty. If you held it in your hand and rolled it into a ball it would easily hold its shape.

Once I get this spread over my face I sit down and relax, the smell of this is beautiful it almost has a bit of a floral scent to it. I leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off, it was quite dry and most of it just fell off into the sink making the rest easy to wash off.

Once dried My skin has that 'pregnancy glow' look to it. It's even, soft, and looks amazing. It hasn't dried my skin out or left me with more breakouts. Just healthy looking skin. I really like this face mask and will buy again

This face mask smells delicious and feels really nice on your skin. It's cool and calming. It is quite thick so you need to be careful about how much you layer on to your face. I really like the chunks of blueberry in the mask, but they can tend to fall off you face as the mask dries. My skin felt so smooth and lovely after using.

Went and bought this after reading the reviews on BR. Only 3 words to describe it A-MAZ-ING! You keep it in the fridge then slather it on as a wet face pack. It dries to a degree, but not really "cakey". It feels spectacular. As it has been really hot lately the coolness of this mask is really calming and your skin feels fresh and alive afterwards. Wash off with a hot flannel.

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

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 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 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.

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 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.
