Lush - Oatifix Fresh Face Mask Review


I mentioned to you all a few posts ago that I had got a free sample of the Oatifix Fresh Face Mask from Lush during one of my visits and that I would do a review on it. Above is a photograph of how it looks in the sample tub.

Firstly I would like to say that you should not be fooled by the small size of this tub, it actually lasted me about 4 times, and they gave me two tubs! I had asked the sales assistant which mask she would recommend for my skin type, which is sensitive and quite dry. She suggested this one or Cosmetic Warrior, but I couldn't quite bring myself to put garlic on my face.

Very easy to apply, firstly I applied my Full of Grace moisturiser from Lush (review coming soon), as this was recommended online. I then took a small amount at a time and applied it to my face. This one is quite crumbly so I found that it kept falling of my face and that you couldn't really go over the same area twice. I then let it sit on my face for 10-15 minutes as I wasn't exactly sure how long you were supposed to, and then I rinsed it off with cold water.

My skin felt soft and clean afterwards which I liked, but I don't feel like it made any real difference to my skin, it was pretty much just the same the next morning when I woke up.

Pros :
  • Lots of product in the sample amount
  • Smells nice, quite sweet.
  • Leaves skin feeling soft.
  • Easy to apply.
  • Tastes nice (according to my sister).
Cons :
  • Quite messy as it falls of your face if you aren't careful.
  • Not the most attractive thing to put on your face.
  • Didn't give any long term effects on my skin.
I haven't used face masks in years, but wanted to try one from Lush as I had heard good things about them, but I wasn't overly impressed by this one as I felt like it didn't make a difference. I would like to try another one to see if it works any better for me, possibly Cupcake as it is their most popular.

Coming soon - New Lush Product Reviews!

Just letting you all know that my next reviews from Lush will be on the Full of Grace Moisturiser Bar, and the Oatifix Fresh Face Mask. I've been using Full of Grace for a while now so I have an opinion on it already, and I recently got a sample of Oatifix to see how it reacts to my skin before I buy a full size version. I've read that it's good to put this particular moisturiser on below the face mask which is why I plan to review them both soon, so that I can let you know how they work together as well.
