Lush Brazend Honey Fresh Face Mask
Another night = another face mask.
It’s another one from Lush but this time it’s one from their fresh face mask range (made from fresh produce and has to be kept in the fridge to keep it from going off).
Reason for this one is that I have a rotten cold and my skin is looking horrible and sallow because of it. The sales girl suggested Brazened Honey to perk up my complexion and revitalise my manky looking skin.
It has eggs, honey and almond oil to moisturise, fennel, ginger root, parsley and coriander to detox the skin (plus they’re pretty enzymic so dead skin and oil will be eaten away). There’s lime juice to degrease and ground almond shells act as a stimulating scrub.
So, In the picture I look a little jaundiced and it dried REALLY tight onto my skin (seriously, I only thought about smiling and it crumbled). It’s not got the best scent to it either…quite powdery…but better than the not-so-fresh foot smell of Mask of Magnaminty.
It took a little while to fully remove the mask. I tried warm water first but found it wasn't getting all the mask off, so I go the last bits off with some cotton wool soaked in Tea Tree Water.
My skin felt lovely and soft but it didn't really look any brighter than before and it was very drying so I had to put on a slightly thicker moisturiser to compensate.
A nice one to try but I didn't notice anything spectacular.
£5.75 from Lush stores and online.

I really the Cupcake mask they do although it is pretty strong smelling- not that i mind that!
ReplyDeleteCupcake smells lovely and chocolatly!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a strong formulation though. It made me blotchy when I tried it.
I've got a pot of Love Lettuce to give a proper try of in the fridge atm.
