I have had a few not so great experiences with face masks (see here), but I must say so far I have been enjoying my recent purchases at Lush! I recently bought the face mask Love Lettuce and the Bubblegum lip scrub.
Let's start with the face mask. This one from Lush cost $6.95 and is Lavender and Almond based. It is a Fresh Face Mask which means it does need to be refrigerated and used fairly quickly. It doesn't keep for very long - I'd say two weeks tops. Now out of this little pot I've gotten three nice face masks already! And I think I can get 3 - 4 more. Not a bad deal really... it comes out to about a dollar a face mask. I like the fact that these are nice and cool on your skin (courtesy of being refrigerated). All you do is leave it on for about 10 - 15 minutes until it starts flaking off. The one down side I would say is that it leaves a bit of a mess in your sink when you rinse it off if you're not careful.
I like the effects this mask has on my face. It doesn't really handle breakouts too much, but it does sort of balance everything out. There are also some "Scrubby" bits in the mask that you can work into your skin that helps with black heads. Overall, it's great!
Next up is the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub which costs $9.95. I love this stuff! I have been sick lately and as a result my lips have been quite chapped and flaky (not cute). This stuff has helped tremendously!
It's easy to use and smells and tastes JUST like bubblegum. They say you can lick it off when you are done scrubbing, but that grosses me out (dead skin cells!) so I just rinse it off with water.
I'm happy with the results so far, though I do think it is a little over priced.
However, I must say that my lipsticks have worn much smoother with far fewer flaky patches.
Overall, I recommend these products from Lush. They are worth testing out if you get the chance!
