LUSH! Cupcake Fresh Face Mask

So, I've been super loyal to products that have done me some justice, lately! I used to be really fickle but let's face it (no pun intended)... I used to get spots all the time!

I discovered LUSH! a few years ago and since then I've been in love.

I'd always try a new bath bomb or bubble bomb but I'd never switch up my face masks.

I either used Cupcake from LUSH! or The Body Shop's Warming Mineral Mask (also insanely good).

WARNING

This face mask will make you instantly attractive and all men will think you're a fox!

I know the label says it's perfect for teen skin and oily skin but I have always had super dry skin. Guess what? It works for me. I should have read the label... It could have gone totally wrong.

It didn't!

I loveeee the Cupcake mask and always will!

And on a plus... the smell ALWAYS makes me feel happy.

I know what you're thinking! It looks like something that is familiar to all of us... but we won't go there! Promise!

Actually, I lied... the texture of the face mask is also a bit of an icky reminder to our icky friend that we hate and it also includes a few little lumps but get past the horrible look and feel and you'll be happy!

I also love LUSH! fresh face masks throughout Summer because you keep them in the fridge so it's an instant amazebomb moment when you smear that gorgeous, lumpy, brown stuff all over your face on a hot day!

Never thought I'd type that!

PS. How cute are my nails this week? I'm about to change them now so figured I'd let you see first.

Tutorial coming soon(ish)!

LUSH! and The Body Shop haul

I said in my previous post how The Boy and I had spent wayyy too much money on our little trip to Edinburgh. Well, instead of doing one giant haul post... I've decided to split it into a few! It means I'm not sat here all day writing one gigantic post. 

I'll start with The Body Shop because I only got a few things from there. It's probably my favourite store. Actually, I can say it is 100%!

Above: Chocomania Lip Butter (£4.00, The Body Shop)

I've wanted to try The Body Shop's Chocomania range for a while now. I am a huge chocolate fan but I've given it up now so I wanted to avoid anything that would tempt me! I didn't give it up to help in weight loss or anything... I get severe migraines and chocolate is my main cause.

I felt I could smell this now without wanting to lick it and after all that waiting... I actually hate the smell, lol but I will use it because I hate waste! It's (ironically) a bit too chocolatey!

 L-R: Shea Body Butter (£12.50, The Body Shop) & Body Brush (£7.00, The Body Shop)

I love anything that's very organic smelling. I love wood and nut scents. My favourite body butters from The Body Shop are the Shea, Almond, Coconut, Cocoa and Brazil nut!

I'm not a huge fruit-scent fan a part from Watermelon and Guava.

And as for the body brush... I have really wanted one of these for ages but always forgot to get one. I use The Body Shop's small face brush and it's done wonders for me. A lot cheaper than a Clarisonic, anyway.

I am absolutely in love with LUSH! I am a complete LUSHPuppet! (My new term, it's the new 'fetch' for LUSH!)

I could buy that whole store but I was with The Boy and I know he gets bored really easily in there. I took him there for a gigantic shop at Christmas because I love their cinnamon stuff! Yummy.

You'll LOVE this if you love Parmaviolets! One of my favourite. It also has little flecks of glitter. Lovely. I got a few of these to tide me over until I get to a LUSH! store again... there isn't one in my city!

Above: Mmmelting Marshmallow (£3.75, LUSH!)

This one is a first for me but it's got amazing reviews. It's very sweet smelling just like their Creamy Candy bubble bar. Not the most attractive compared to LUSH!'s other products. 

Above: The Comforter (£4.15, LUSH!)

I've tried this once before and it was a 'meh' product to me but I always get drawn to the look of it so I figured I'd try it again. It smells kind of soapy to me.

L-R: Yuzu and Cocoa Bubbleroon (£2.95, LUSH!) and Creamy Candy (£2.45, LUSH!)

I've just tried the Bubbleroon for the first time two days ago and it is absolutely amazing. It smells like a subtle Terry's Chocolate Orange to me. It left my skin feeling sooo soft and it was one of the most relaxing baths I've ever had. Bliss. So happy I got two of these!

Creamy Candy is a firm favourite of mine. Only buy this if you like sweet smells because my mum said it smelled like someone had vomited candy floss in the bathroom. Charming, I know.

 Above: Oatifix Fresh Face Mask (£5.75, LUSH!)

LUSH! facemasks have to be my favourite of all! They have done my skin wonders and I love that they're all organic and fresh instead of having those cheap, sticky, chemical masks from Superdrug! You know the ones I mean! 

This one smells horrible in the store but I know how good oats and bananas are for your skin so I ignored that. Once I'd put it on I got a huge whiff of bananas on warm porridge. It was lovely. 

Only negative was that my family thought it was hilarious. 

*Looks seriously like baby vomit when applied*

I usually stuck to Cupcake but I'm reaching out a lot more. Next I'm trying Catastrophe Cosmetic and Ayesha!

That's all for now! Hope you have a fab day!
