Review // Lush Rose and Lemon Face Mask

This is a momentous occasion for me- my first Lush Kitchen review! I didn't really understand how the Kitchen worked until recently and you better believe I've had my eyes glued to it ever since! Finally something popped up that I was intrigued to try. At the moment it's almost exclusively selling the Lush Oxford Street products, which I can just buy at the store and save myself the hefty postage cost. However, Rose and Lemon Face Mask is only available as part of a spa treatment and not to purchase individually, so I was super excited to try it out!

As you can see, this mask, made from fresh rose petals, lemon juice and cocoa butter, is a pink-clay shade and has a smooth, thick consistency. It's much easier to apply than some other Lush face masks as it has very little in the way of lumps and bumps, and smooths onto the skin really evenly. As a result of this easy application, a little goes a long way. Unlike, say, Oatifix, where you have to slap a huge amount on, this applies more like a very thick moisturiser. 

The fragrance is about as rosy as you can get! It smells very natural and has a heavy floral but is still pleasant, with just the tiniest hint of lemon underneath. While it's on the skin, it feels soothing and the scent is super relaxing, giving the perfect experience for unwinding.

After use (it's also super easy to remove!), my skin was left looking radiant and feeling incredibly smooth. As I was removing it, I noticed some noticeable pinkness on my skin, and was worried I'd had a reaction, but it turned out to just be staining from the mask and washed off well. Two days later, my skin still felt softer and smoother than usual, and it looks so healthy. 

It's a shame this mask is so difficult to get hold of as it's perfect! I'll be keeping an eye out for it appearing in the Kitchen again!
