Hi Ladies!

This week I went to the Dry Bar at Fashion Island which is basically just a fancy place to get your hair washed, dried, and curled but it seriously looks better than anything that I could have done. While I was walking to the hair salon I passed by Lush and decided to take a look inside due to all the wonderful reviews and comments I have heard about the entire store. I am always looking for great companies who use completely natural products and also do not test on animals, those two things are very important to me when searching out a brand that I am going to invest some serious money in. After watching Jacklyn Hill’s videos on Youtube I knew that I wanted to try a few products from the store but ended up leaving with only one mask because I wanted to start off small. 

The Mask: 

I chose the Mask of Magnanimity in the 4.4 oz container. This mask is designed for use on your face but it can also be used on your back. Inside of the mask there is China Clay and Peppermint which do some serious deep cleaning and make sure that every pore you have on your face is rid of any gunk. This mask is also packed with aduki beans which help to exfoliate and soften dry skin, there is also vanilla and honey to help calm down redness and make your face feel soothed and not too dry.  Although this mask was wonderful when I used it, it is a serious deep cleaning mask so you do not want to put this into your normal skin care regime because even though it is packed with hydrating beans I do think that the more often you use this the more of a chance you have at really drying out your skin. When I first used it I started off with clean skin and let the mask sit all over my face for about 20 minutes (the mask says 5-10 but I got distracted) then I rinsed it off with warm water. After the mask had been sitting it was becoming quite flaky so it was very easy to rinse off and I just gently exfoliated my skin by lighting rubbing the mask in circular motions. After the mask was off my skin felt incredibly soft, my pores looked smaller, and my entire face just had a really nice glow to it. With dry skin, I am always afraid to use anything to rough on my skin because it will just dry me out more but this seriously hydrated my skin and gave me such a nice layer for the rest of my skin care routine. When I woke up the next day I could still smell the minty scent the mask left (which I love) and my skin looked brighter, some of my blemishes were smaller, and my skin was incredibly smooth. I really would recommend this mask to everyone. If you have sensitive skin you will love this product because it has all natural ingredients, there are no chemicals or preservatives added so as long as you are not allergic to the products your skin should love this mask. If you have oily skin this mask will not only help remove some of that oil from your skin through the exfoliation but it will also keep the oil down by adding good hydration. If you are dry, this mask will get rid of any rough patches and smooth while hydrating your skin. For $12.95 this mask is a holy grail in my life now!
