Lush Cupcake Face Mask

Off all the masks from lush, this is the one I found best for my skin. It smells edible and amazing. My husband always laughs at me so much when I use this, that I don't leave it on as long when we have a bath, as its the least attractive of all the masks to use. But its worth using it. I have rather sensitive skin, and I found this was good to use once a week, but any more than that would start to make my skin a bit tender.

I'm sorry to say, but this product is definitely not one of my top picks for Lush products. After reading the reviews and the description, I was very excited however it didn't meet my expectations, unfortunately (I still love lush in general though!). The smell does not make me think of chocolate. It has that fake 'chocolate' fragrance that all companies use when adding a 'choc' scent to toys, stationery etc. and I personally, am not a fan. It had a burning, stinging sensation on my face probably due to the fragrances/essential oils and also that my skin is on the sensitive side. After rinsing off, my face was very red and flushed.

My first impression of this face mask was "Wow, that smells devine!" - The chocolate mint smell captivated me.

I found this face mask made my face feel really fresh and revitalised after I used it and I could really tell that it had removed excess oil, dirt or other skin impurities.

It was very easy to apply, albeit a little messy, but overall an amazing face mask experience.

A friend had a Lush party recently and as part of it we watched this get made and all got a tub of it to take home. I have pretty oily acne ridden skin and this makes it feel so much better. You get heaps more uses of it out of the tub than I thought you would and it smells divine. Just gotta remember to moisturise afterwards or my skin gets a bit dried out. Definitely not for someone with dry skin.

This face mask is so wonderful! It smells devine! I have quite oily skin and this mask does a great job of removing the excess oil. It has small almond pieces in it that exfoliate your face, too. It's easy to apply and easy to rinse off. Definitely will be getting it again.

This face mask is super fun. It smells and looks like chocolate, although I did not notice any improvement to my skin after using it.

The texture is smooth and easy to spread, and it comes off easily with a warm washcloth.

I have normal skin and the most it did for me was probably exfoliate a bit. I think it would be good for oily/acne prone skin types as I imagine it would absorb excess oil.

A bit pricey for me, but a nice treat for chocaholics!

This is a great product. My favourite out of their masks SO FAR. It was out of stock at my local when I was waiting to try it and so I went in on the day they restocked and grabbed one up. The smell is really enticing and seems good enough to eat (it's not haha). Although I have combo skin with an oily t-zone it didn't do too much in the way of irritate provided I washed it off thoroughly and moisturized afterwards. Where my skin is normal, it felt so soft and smelt so nice afterwards. Because of the price I am reluctant to make it a regular purchase, but would most likely get this one as the free one in their 5 empty pots get one mask free promotion.

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.

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.

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!
