Lush Cupcake Face Mask

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

My sister purchased this and left it in the fridge... One night when I was rummaging I spotted it. Even though I read that this is for oily skin (I have dry skin), I couldn't resist trying it.

The smell of this is actually heaven. It is a gorgeous chocolatey smell that reminds me a lot of a chocolate face mask I got in a memebox. Because it smells soooo good I had to taste it... Don't taste it! Hahaha. It smells delicious but tastes revolting.

Because it was kept in the fridge, it felt super soothing and cooling on my face. It was easy to apply (albeit a little messy), and rinsed off easily.

Because I am stubborn, I ignored the fact that when I used this my skin felt (and looked), drier. It definitely does what it says it will - this would be perfect for those with oily skins, but isn't good for us dry skinned ladies.

Upon using this, my face felt tight and after rinsing it off and letting my face dry, my skin looked and felt dehydrated. Yet still I used it more than once.

If you have dry skin, keep away from this - no matter how delicious it smells. It really dried my skin out and made my face feel tight.

Needless to say I wouldn't purchase this.

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 smells amazing and makes my face feel fresh and un-oily. Made my skin feel amazing and kind of tastes good.

Trying to get rid of acne I decided to give this a go. It has a pleasant chocolatey scent, but upon getting closer the smell becomes overpowering and sickly. It's very thick and slightly grainy, which is fine.

Once on my face it felt like it was sucking my face dry. Yes it pulled the oil out, but after washing it off my face feels like it's shrink wrapped. Not the greatest feeling. Not only that, the strong scent gives me a headache every use.

I won't be repurchasing this particular mask, but if you feel like you could make it work for you then I would say buy it, as it does work as it's supposed to.
