If you aren't already aware, Lush runs a similar scheme to Mac where if you collect 5 empty black pots you can pick up a fresh face mask absolutely free of charge. I don't find it all that difficult finishing up Lush products, especially their face masks, so here are my current 5 empty black pots waiting to be recycled!
I picked this up because I am utterly obsessed with blueberries! It claimed to give my skin a good deep cleanse without causing puffiness - leaving the face cool, clear and calm. And it delivered. My skin definitely looked brighter, felt cleaner, and the crushed blueberries running through the mask gave a lovely exfoliating action when it came to rinsing. Just be sure to apply a good moisturiser after as it may be a little drying.
I was looking for a face mask to help hydrate my tired looking skin, and this is what I picked up. I'm glad I did! The coconut oil and shea butter really helped to moisturise while the papaya gave a little chemical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. The Sacred Truth made an instant noticeable difference to the dry patches on my skin and I couldn't be more pleased!
I received this in a gift set for Christmas and honestly had no idea how to go about using it! According to Lush, you just scoop a good handful straight out of the pot and work it over your body in the shower, rinse, and marvel at your softness. I tried it, and I liked it, but I felt I was using a lot more than my regular shower gel. At over £15 a pot, I don't think I'd be able to justify it. However, it did leave my skin incredibly soft and clean and even my boyfriend commented on how lovely it smelt! Imagine walking through a garden of roses. Yep, that.
Can we all just take a moment to marvel at this magnificent product? Even after using up this entire pot, which might I add, seemed to last me foreverrrr, I still can't get over how amazingly well this worked. The cream is surprisingly light, more like a lotion, which enables it to soak into the skin incredibly well. I felt like my skin just drank this stuff up. Because of how thin it is, I really wasn't expecting much. Oh, how I was wrong! I can't remember the last time my skin felt so soft and hydrated and silky and soothed and velvety etc etc etc. This cream is by far one of the most hydrating things my skin has ever seen. And all of this without any greasy residue! It's perfect!
And finally, the mysterious black container with no label! I bought this toner to spritz over my face after cleansing and throughout the day whenever I felt was necessary. I hated the packaging with the harsh, direct squirt (not at all a refreshing mist!), but loved the product itself so I simply decanted it into an empty container I had lying around with a better spritzer. This light and gentle toner did a great job of removing any excess dirt and oil while providing just a little extra moisture!
And now the hard part... which fresh face mask do I try next?! Any suggestions?
