HOLY GRAIL FACE MASK ALERT: LOVE LETTUCE

Good evening lovelies! I wanted to share with you my new holy grail face mask! I've always been a huge fan of LUSH - in particular their bath bombs. I have a few of their other products such as their lip scrub and body wash but I wanted to try something a little more adventurous... so I thought I'd give one of their face masks a go.

 I've heard nothing but good things about their face masks from reading reviews online & friends recommending them. So when visiting the store, I spoke to an employee to find a face mask that would calm and soften my skin. She recommended Love Lettuce (looks a little gross but I swear it is magic in a pot). It claims to "brighten your complexion with nutrient-rich agar seaweed gel, soothing and moisturising honey and almond oil, and gently exfoliating almond shells". 

This mask contains lavender which helps to calm the skin and "balance the skin's sebum production".  I can get a fairly oily T-Zone so this helps to even out my skin and eliminate any oiliness. It smells lovely in comparison to a few other masks that they had such as the BB Seaweed mask *yuck*. 

It's very thick in consistency so it is quite hard to smooth out onto your face whilst applying but you can work past that. I generously slop this on my face and leave it on for around 15-20 minutes (sometimes longer). I've been using this once a week so far, as a little treat/pick me up for my skin. I apply before getting in the shower so I am able to easily scrub it off! This mask is super exfoliating (the almond shells) and this is what leaves my skin feeling ridiculously soft. However, I wouldn't say it left my skin with a 'radiant glow' but it did tick all the boxes that I was personally looking for in a face mask e.g. to calm and smooth. 

I can't express how much I love this product - my skin literally feels so amazing and my make up applies soooo smoothly afterwards. Also, as you keep this product in the fridge, it feels really fresh and cooling which is a bonus with this humid weather we're having at the moment! I've used this 4 times so far and I still have lots left (as you can see in the photo). Defo will be repurchasing when it runs out. 

Have you tried any LUSH face masks? Any recommendations?

With love,

Katie xo
