Review - LUSH Oatifix Fresh Facemask

Considering I don't have a bath without using at least one Lush product it's surprising that this is my first Lush product review - can you believe that?! When I go in to Lush I tend to be more taken in by the bath/wash products than I do by any of their skincare, so this facemask is my first skincare product from Lush. I've always been a bit put off by their facemasks because of their short shelf life and often wondered if I would use up all the product before it 'went bad'. Anyway, I decided it was about time I tried one since their often raved about by other bloggers and I'd never tried a fresh facemask before!

I picked up the Oatifix mask as it has been designed for dry and sensitive skin - perfect for my skin! I must worn you now this mask literally smells good enough to eat. It smells like food. It's fruity, sweet and just lovely! It actually took a lot of willpower not to test if it tasted as good as it smelt, haha. The main ingredients in this facemask are oatmeal, bananas and almonds - all perfect ingredients for helping out sensitive skin!

The mask was a little difficult to apply just because it tended to fall apart a bit and didn't hold together too well. I applied it over the sink and some of it did tend to fall off as it was being applied, which isn't something to want on the carpet! It doesn't look like the most luxurious facemask once applied and, dare I say it, looked a little vomit-like (Yup, I said it!). However, it does the job lovely! I left it on for about 10 minutes and once removed my skin felt soft, hydrated and glowing!

For £5.95 you definately get a good amount for your money. I reckon you could get around 10 uses per pot which is excellent. The only downside is that once you buy it you need to use it, otherwise it'll just go bad. I think I will repurchase, however I'm interested in trying some of their other facemasks too!
