Hey peeps its been a while!!!! Works kinda got in the way of my blogging/vlogging life, I've just not had much time lately to commit to my blog or youtube but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things as I really do enjoy it! ;)
So today's blog post I've decided to give my thoughts on Lush's 'Catastrophe Cosmetic' fresh face mask as I thought it deserved a mention! And I know a few of you also requested this on my instagram (Bronnylovesyou).
It was basically an impulse buy at the time thanks to a very persuasive sales assistant in lush and I'm so glad I took the plunge spending £6.50 investing in this miracle. The face mask itself has to be kept cool as it has ingredients which shouldn't be kept out of the fridge for longer than 24 hours so don't panic if you've been out all day shopping!! I just popped it straight in the fridge when I got home and it was fine.
The reason I bought this was for those unwanted angry breakouts that refuse to disappear. The mask is described on the packaging to "calm and cleanse the skin" which it totally does and even better it smells nice too!! That was a nice bonus, it reminds me of parmaviolet sweets which could be the blueberries in it?!
In the mask it contains blueberries which are full of anti-oxidants, soothing chamomile, Irish moss and calamine to gently cleanse your skin. I usually jump into a lush bath and pop this on whilst having a soak, the scent is soothing and makes me feel relaxed and refreshed. Another thing is you have a whole month to use it in and for a pot that is a mere 75 gram in weight it's lasted me several uses.... plus I have about a third left!!! I'm still using it after the use by date and the only difference I've noticed is the consistency is a bit thicker so there's no rush to use it! The consistency when you first get it is like a watery toothpaste but with little bits of blueberry etc in it so it was easy to apply and it wasn't a disgusting colour on my face either (not that the colour bothers me too much).
Immediately after using my mask my face feels super smooth and by the next day my spots are less red and having used the mask once a week for a month I've found I do have less breakouts. Also before buying the mask if you're not sure on it let them demonstrate it on your skin first and you'll see how smooth your skin feels after it's been washed off ;)
So would I recommend it? YES I totally would you get several uses and it works wonders just for £6.50! And now I'm going to start experimenting even more with their face/hair products as I'm so pleased with this :) plus if you take 5 full sized pots back to them you get one of your choice free!! I've just spent £60 on lush online the other day but I'm sure it'll be worth it!!!
Have any of you used this mask? And are there any specific lush products you recommend?
Blog you later xoxo
