Lush Dark Angels Review

I was lucky to receive as a RAOK in an order I did from Lush, which was a lovely surprise and made me love Lush even more.. if that was possible.

This cleanser comes in the generic black container, which did a great job at keeping this cleanser fresh, and is easy to open and close, even with cleanser on one of your hands. Additionally, this free little product is one of the 5 tubs I need to get a free face mask (part of Lush’s recycling scheme), which is awesome.

When you open the product for the first time, it just looks like a pot full of blackness. The mask is black, and I mean black, and it topped with a few tiny black crystals looking piece (Who knows what they are). Okay so the mask itself, well honestly. It smells like dirt. It looks like dirt. Not convinced? Neither was i.

The consistency of this cleanser is hard to describe unless you know the lush products well. This Cleanser feels rich, and full of goodness as it leaves a slight greasy residue when touched. However the cleanser itself it quite crumbly although it holds it shape well. I would actually compare it to the short crust pastry my mum makes.

To use this, I break a small piece off, and put in the palm of my hand and mix it with a tiny bit of water to make a paste, and use my fingers to apply it to my face. I rub it on, and massage it all over my face like a normal cleanser. However after that, I let this product sit on my face for a few minutes before once again massaging my face and washing it off. The results. Wow.

My skin is left smooth, and feeling amazing. I usually use this cleaner at night time before bed, and the next day, my skin just looks amazing. It has a glowy look about it, and this cleanser evens out my skin tone, to the point where I could almost (yes almost) not wear BB cream or foundation.

Would I use this again? In a heartbeat. It never appealed to me before, so I am so glad I was given this to try! It has quickly become a favourite of mine! It’s easy to use, a little goes a long way, and it does an amazing job at cleaning and making my skin feel amazing without drying it out. I definitely recommend you try this product.

This product is the best product of all products in a lush store for oily to combination skin. For me, I have acne prone - sensitive - combination. and this stuff worked miracles for my skin! From day one, this stuff was easy to use and had a great consistency to it. It wasn't abrasive to the skin, more so gently exfoliating . It smells nice, like it looks like. Its strong so when you apply it, it feels like its doing something to your face, "its doing it's job." Thanks to this product my skin was brighter and glowing he acne scarring cleared right up halfway through using this product.

For the past year I have been using Clinique products to cleanse my face, however a couple of weeks ago I placed a Lush order and decided to try something new and put this in my cart. No regrets! I love everything about it, the look, the smell, how it feels on my hands. Better yet, I love the way it makes my skin feel. The first week or so I broke out madly on my chin and almost chucked it in but kept going, and my skin has cleared up. I'm less oily than usual, and my nose appears to be loving it completely, my pores have really settled down believe it or not.

Packaging is cute and compact, and STACKABLE! A must for me considering my shower space is limited. A little goes a long way with the product, it is not as harsh as normal exfoliators which is why I am happy to use this every day.

I had been using another expensive brand since New Years and it had made my skin absolutely DISGUSTING. I had been recommended Lush Dark Angels by a friend and I fell in love. It smells like aniseed and some sort of flowery scent, maybe lavender. It is so fresh and natural on my skin. I love how it's an exfoliator as i can scrub off the sweat and grime from a long day and go to bed feeling fresh and clean. It has really helped clear up my acne and it's good for oily skin. I get oily skin around my nose and chin area and it's helping control that. And the packaging is so cute! I really like how it is so small and compact and you don't need much space in the shower for it.

I have extremely oil skin, huge pores and just lifeless skin. I applied this for the first time on my face, wet my hand and then scrubbed it quite hard. After removing my skin just had life, it was glowing, smooth and felt so clean! My pores also shrunk in size. I know it says to use this 3 times a week or so, but I use it once a day due to how oily my skin gets and it does not dry it out at all!

Exfoliating cleansers have been something I have become slightly obsessed with (With all the other things I need to check myself into BR Rehab) and when I heard Dark angels was awesome I had to try it! I had brought this before my April low spend had started so I had no excuse to break it.

It resembles crumbed oreo cookies that have been blended with butter, except it doesnt smell like that, it smells like sugary licorice.

I remove my makeup and wet my face slightly before scooping about a tablespoon of this onto my hands and rubbing it all over my face and neck. I realized after the first time of trying this that I am better off doing it in the shower because I make such a mess! It gives such an amazing deep clean to my skin and removes all the dead skin that is around my nose and chin.

When I rinse this off my face it feels instantly replenished, my small pores have shrunk back to their regular size and my skin feels so soft and it gives me this natural glow that I look forward to seeing every time I use this.

My skin loves this stuff and I will be buying more, I have been using this as a face/neck/shoulder exfoliant because I love it so much, it is true, once you go black you never go back!

I love the Dark Angels cleanser. The girl at Lush suggested this to me instead of Angels on Bare Skin because I tend to have oily/combination skin. I was so impressed! The smell is divine, and there is just enough roughness in the mix to leave a loving tingly feeling on the skin without leaving it raw or pink. I use this twice a week as an exfoliant, and have used it as a daily cleanser by making it into a liquid solution with some warm water in my palm before applying (instead of the paste-y feeling it has when you take some from the pottle). A little goes a long way with this stuff, and it really works to clear my skin up a couple of times a week!

Previously I was using African black soap and it worked wonders for my oily acne proned skin; however, my kids always got into the soap and I didn't like the residue build up. Now that I have come across this amazing cleanser in a container that is made up of natural ingredients I can reap similar, yet better results than the black soap. At first I was skeptical of the gritty texture but a little goes a long way. I grab about a pea size and mix it with water and then apply and scrub gently to my skin every morning as I always wake up with oily skin. I then rinse and apply my Lush tea tree spray and an oil free moisturiser. The combination of using the tea tree spray and oil free moisturiser definitely compliments the benefits of dark angels cleanser. My skin feels clean and prepped for a smoother and cleaner application of makeup ;)

I have a full house of kisses

Recently I went into lush and left with this. The skin on my face can be a range of combinations from very sensitive to normal with oil. I get back heads on my chin and nose which really annoys me. I have used many products to try rid them.

I use this in the shower in the morning. You only need the smallest of amounts to cover your face. If I need a bit more exfoliation I put the product direct on my face, if i need a slightly softer cleanse I mix with water in my hand. After the first cleanse the gunk from my pores was almost all gone. I was shocked. Next cleanse it all went. I see this as little angles burying deep into my pores and using a brush to clean each pore out.

Even with combination skin it doesn't dry it out. I don't react to it. It polishes my skin beautifully. I have used many exfoliating cleansers and find them quite abrasive that they scratch my skin. This doesn't. When I wash off my skin feels fresh and clean. Not dry at all.

A tub of this is going to last a very long time. It will work out extremely cheap compared to alot of others I have trialed. This is going to be my must have item in the shower.
