I must say I
was rather impressed with this mask. Firstly, it has the must delectable scent
of blueberries and powder (think Caldesene Powder). It is a rich grey paste,
infused with blueberries (for anti-oxidants, vitamins, & minerals), Chamomile,
Irish Moss, and Almond Oil (for soothing), and Calamine (for cleansing).
The first
time I applied it I left it on for 10 minutes. My skin felt a tad bit tight
when it was dry, but the mask was not hard or crusty, so it was quite
comfortable. It was very easy to rinse off and left my skin soft and clean. I
began using it twice a week; all over my face on Sundays and just on my t-zone
on Wednesdays. I notices a reduction in my amount of oil around my t-zone area
after the third use.

It smells
great, is easy to apply and wash off, and more importantly it works ... So why
did I stop using it?! The shelf-life...
Catastrophe
Cosmetic is good for only four weeks.
I bought it 1.5 weeks after it was made so I barely got to use it before it
expired. Six applications were not enough to put a dent in the 75g jar. I was
rather peeved that I had a full jar left and could do nothing but toss it away.

LUSH is
usually very good at delivering value for money because customers are,
essentially, not paying for fancy packaging. But they missed the mark with this
one. I will purchase this product again only if they find a way to extend the
shelf life.
I think it is
an effective product and would recommend it to individuals who suffer from
breakouts and clogged pores.
