Review | Lush brazened honey face mask

 Lush brazened honey

£6.25 for 75g

"Wake up your skin with this fresh face mask containing fresh fennel, ginger root, parsley and coriander to detox and stimulate. We use a sage, rosemary and juniperberry infusion with cardamom and clove bud oils for their antiseptic qualities, fresh lime juice to cleanse the skin and free range eggs, honey and almond oil to soothe and moisturise. Smoothe a generous layer of this mask onto your face and leave for 10 to 15 minutes."

In case you hadn't noticed by now, I've been loving Lush recently. I picked this up as a free face mask for returning 5 full size clean pots, and I pretty much just picked it up for the name. I've tried quite a few of the face masks from Lush before, and I've yet to find one that I disliked. I love them for their use of natural ingreedients, especially this one for the use of honey which is supposed to be good for your skin because of its natural healing properties.

Although it's got a bit of a weird smell that doesn't really float my boat and it feels like spreading some kind of herby porridge over your face, I actually really like this. It dries to a satisfyingly toxic looking luminous yellow, and applying it means getting in there with your fingers (for smoother ones I use a foundation brush) but afterwards my skin is left feeling baby soft and not even feeling like I need a moisturiser just to finish things off.

My skin doesn't get a lot of redness except for around my nose, and I've found that this is a beauty for calming my skin down. I also think it helped quite a bit with my face erupting out into a breakout the other week, as things calmed down a lot faster than normal after slapping this on.

Do you think you'll give this a go? What's your favourite Lush face mask?
