Fellow Lushies and Lushies-to-be, today I decided to do a review on one of Lushes most famous face masks- the Cupcake face mask. I know, I know- I promised this review a while ago, but I have finally got around to it!

I love a good bath and a nice bit of relaxation, however after a long day at work with things to be done I don't always get the time to really and truly pamper myself. However there are a few things I do and product I use to help myself wind down.- 16:30

Last payday I swore to myself that I wouldn't give in to the temptation of buying anything because a) I'm trying to save for a house and b) I had to pay off something super exciting this week. Somehow the little gremlins got into my back account though and got me a few little Lush goodies as a special little treat.

Anyway, whether that made much sense or not, on one of her recent trips away- Michelle dropped in to pick me up one of the products on my wishlist- the Mask of Magnaminty. HOW NICE IS THAT!?
I've been wanting to try this product for so long so, without further ado, here is my review.
The mask comes in a black container with a screw-on lid and the mixture itself is a lumpy mud like texture in a bright green paste. To clarify- the pictures do not give the colour justice. It's like a mint green colour- but with the saturation turned all the way up... kind of. My favourite part? The scent. While I admit, the scent may be a little strong for some people at first, the fresh peppermint aroma reminds me of many trips to the Grampians and the ice creamery there. The ice cream there is to die for. If you don't really know what this scent is like- then imagine spearmint chewy x1000.
After putting the mixture on my face- I felt my face tingle quite a bit. Whether this is because of how bad my skin is or how strong the mask is I'm not 100% sure and, while it didn't bother me in the slightest, this may be something to be wary of if you have super sensitive skin. I left it on for 10 minuets as directed by the container and then washed it off with lukewarm water.
I can honestly say I felt a huge difference in my skin. Lately, my face has been feeling rather dull, dry and irritating. It's been dry and flaky and breaking out however, after just one use of this product, I have noticed my skin (and pimples) are a lot less irritated, my skin is smooth (for the most part) and my face feels refreshed. The Mask of Magnaminty is definitely going to be a staple in my skin care routine. I cannot thank Michelle enough for such an amazing gift!
This mask can last up to 3 months and is best stored in a fridge. You can purchase this item online here.
What skin care products do you love?
Until next time...

I'm completely and utterly obsessed with lush. I've loved everything I've tried so far except for one soap because I simply didn't enjoy the scent. Unfourtuneatly, I haven't had the money to purchase some of their other products lately, so I've devised a small wishlist to show you what I would buy if I could right now.
Please note that these pictures are not mine- all have been taken from the Lush Website, Australia.
1. Sex Bomb Bath Bomb - $6.75
I love my coffee and my lipstick, but neither can beat a good bath bomb. Lush states on their website: "Jasmine- clary sage and ylang ylang to make you feel like a love goddess."
Not 100% what half of that is- but it sounds divine!
2. Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb - $5.95
Claimed to have a fruity fragrance and described as 'bath tub fireworks', this little number sounds perfect for a fun, fizzy bath.
3. A French Kiss Bubble Bar - $10.50
"The Lush French Kiss is a calming and reviving lavender, rosemary and thyme bath, with essential oils from sun-soaked Provence. It's even topped with a sprig of lavender flowers."
Doesn't that make you want to buy this product and soak in its bubbly, scented goodness for all eternity? *melts*
4. Mask of Magnaminty - $16.95
Moving on to face, Lush claims: "China clay and bentonite gel will pull the dirt from your pores, ground aduki beans and evening primrose seeds exfoliate surface skin cells, and peppermint oil will make you feel so fresh and minty that you'll forget you were ever grubby."
Sounds exactly what my blackhead, acne prone, grubby skin needs.
5. Skin Drink Moisturiser - $27.95
Recently my face has become super dry and flaky. Even the name of this moisturiser sounds like holy water. Definately something my poor skin needs.
6. Sea Spray - $12.50
"A salty spritz that gives body, volume and hold. Sea Spray can be used in many ways to give hold and style, apply before blow-drying or apply to dry hair and work through for beach waves. Gives shine to the hair and has a beautiful perfume of orange flower absolute, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood oils."
Okay- I'm sold. I've heard great things about this product and I really like beach waves so this is definately on my wishlist.
Do you have any Lush favorites, or is there anything on your wishlist from Lush?
Until next time...
