I bought the cupcake facial because it was my friend's birthday and I decided that it would give us something fun to do that night. Not only were we able to all have a facial, but after the party I got two more facials out of it! It smells delicious (though that doesn't mean you should eat it), and it makes my face feel so clean!

I have never used a face mask from lush until now, and I'm sorry to say that it definitely did more harm than good this time. I usually love their other products, but this is something I'm definitely not coming back to.
It smells incredible, and it was rather easy to apply, but that's where the good things stop.
The product is a bit too flaky for a mask, bits and pieces kept falling off as I waited out the ten minute period. For me, personally, it also caused breakouts. The mask doesn't feel as refreshing as I had hoped, either. It's kind of just an "eh" mask, I think.
Hope to have more luck with the other fresh face masks!

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
Great product, very effective in diminishing the apperance of acne blemishes and spots. Moisturizes while cleansing skin of impurities. However, the package contains very little product for that price.

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I love this stuff. I was lucky enough to be near a lush store on a trip (the nearest store to my house is about 3 hours away), and I brought in my pots to try a free fresh face mask. Cupcake was one of the recommended masks for my troublesome, dry, adult-acne prone skin. It smelled the best, so I picked it. It is amazing! After the first use, my skin was noticeably softer and the pimples present started drying up. How does it do that?!? It kills the acne and leaves skin soft at the same time! I've used it 3 more times, and each time my face feels better. I know it says for "young skin", but I'm 29 with that terrible adult-acne, and it works wonders. I just wish I had a Lush store near me....Come on guys, how about a Wichita store? Please?

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I love this mask. I wasn't really sure what kind of mask I should get so when I was in the store I talked to the wonderful women there and they recomended this. I was little leery at first becasue I've never used anything that wasn't scrubby on my face, I've always thought that my skin needed scrubby stuff(of course, my skins never been clear before either!). The smell of this mask is so chocolatey and yummy and it leaves your skin so soft and smooth I can't get over it. I take it off and can't help but just grin in the mirror because my skin looks amazing! I've battled acne for 15 years and never been so happy with my skin or proud of my skin, but I can be now.

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
The name threw me off. Cupcake. It sounds yummy and everyone says they want to eat it so I got it. It actually smelt very weird like dirt mixed with some other smell or something. Not very enjoyable. A week later when I went back I smelt their sample to see if mine was just bad but it smelt the same. It still worked though but I cant stand the smell

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I absolutely adore this product. It smells so amazing and is delightful for your your face. It clears up my oily, teenage face and leaves it feeling refreshed and clean and oil-free. If you have oily skin and are looking for a good face mask to try, start here. Just don't leave it on too long or use it too much (especially if you have sunburn), because it will dry out your skin.

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
Alright, first of all: yes, it made me breakout. Maybe I am just weird, but most of the face masks I have tried from LUSH do cause me to break out in lots of little red and white spots. But that's only for a day or two. After that, everything is noticeably clearer (not just the new mess, but the stuff from before). I do like the smell although it certainly doesn't smell like chocolate (or cupcakes!) to me. It is very peppermint-y, and while I could smell things I associated with "clean" I didn't necessarily want to eat it. With other face masks, the scent has stayed on/in my skin after use (notably Brazen Honey) but Cupcake's smell faded quickly despite the up-front strong smell.
Overall, I am a fan, but I do think you need to plan it. IF you have skin like mine, it gets much better before it gets worse. Using this right before a big date or something would be DISASTER. Plan it for about two days before-hand, just in case. If you're lucky, you won't have that issue.

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I get my masks every 2 and a half weeks on a thursday. I use this mask 3 to 4 times a week and have for the last 2 months. It's incredible. It's a little messy.. but it won't stop me. It smells great. It helps me control my little breakouts. At first I was a little scared it would dry my skin out so now I use Oatafix immediately after. These two masks are the be all end all of my skin care system. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I bought this yesterday and my boyfriend and I just used it. I cleansed my face using Dark Angels and then applied a good layer to my skin. It smells terrific in my opinion. My boyfriend loved the smell as well.
We both agree - the result is soft, healthy, nourished skin. Definite re-purchase material.
The only bad thing I could have to say is that it will expire in about two and a half weeks. With both of us using it and being the type of people who use masks regularly, I'm sure it'll be no problem to finish up in that time, but someone who only uses a face mask every now and then might want to consider the short shelf life, price, and whether or not they'll go for the multiple uses within the 2-3 week period.

I've used this mask 3 times so far and absolutely love it. It's easy to apply and I think I'll get more than the suggested 6 uses out of it. I've been using it twice a week after washing my face with the dark angels cleanser and before moisturizing with the enzymion lotion. It makes my skin look healthy and I think along with the dark angels cleanser it helps exfoliate dead skin and make my face look healthy!

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I bought this mask for my little sisters to use -- they have oily, acne-prone "teenager skin." They ended up loving it, and always beg me to buy them more whenever I make a trip to Lush. I ended up buying one for myself as well, and I can see why they love it -- even though my skin is "normal," I love using this to maintain and even out my skin. I especially love the gentle exfoliating beads and chocolate-y smell!

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
Ok, So this was my first time ever going into LUSH, I always saw it and one day I decided I wanted to go in... My nose went nuts with all the great scents! I wondered around and saw a few things that said will help my breakout prone skin.. now see I have HORRIBLE skin, oily and red all the time... So I got UltraBland and Tea Tree Water and Cupcake,,, instantly I love every product. My skin actually cleared up and the redness went away!! I am so happy and my boyfriend loves how Cupcake makes my face smell like a cupcake! I totally will be buying more from them. I am a believer!!

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
I was really excited to try the Cupcake mask after hearing so many things about it. I was disappointed because it literally did absolutely othing for my skin. The lady in the store told me it would help with acne but it really didn't. I do love the smell and it was pretty cheap but still. Not worth the [$].

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
This is great for pampering yourself! It's very decadent. Because my face was so oily, I was afraid that using a face mask would do more harm than good. When I took off the mask, my face felt so refreshed and clean.
The only problem I have with this product is that it takes a bit of scrubbing to completely get the mask off your face.

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
Ah, the lovely Cupcake fresh face mask. This mask was one of the first for me to try out along with brazened honey. Between the two I noticed more of a difference after using Cupcake. After I was it off I absolutely notice a difference, my face feels smoother, softer, looks lovely, and feels wonderful. This is the one that I keep coming back to. Currently working on trying out all the others but so far, Cupcake helps my acne prone skin the best. And its a major plus that it smells so yummy while you leave it on your face :)

Comments about LUSH Cupcake:
This product is my first mask, and I love it! It has a great smell, and it works wonders for me! I used Ocean Salt to clean off my makeup and any oil, and then a Tea Tree tab as one of the LUSH employees reccomended to open up my pores, before putting on the mask (Which was super easy to put on once it warms up between my fingers).
When I took it off I noticed an almost immediate difference! I recommend using Tea Tree Water after, though as it seemed to help me.
Now I use Cupcake twice a week (sometimes more if I notice I'm starting to break out) and my face is almost completley devoid of any blemishes!
In short, I am SO happy my sister reccomended I go to LUSH because now I have a lovely face mask and clear skin! I love Cupcake! Everyone should try it at least once!

Q:
Am I able to freeze the fresh face masks to keep them fresher for longer? I rarely have the opportunity to get to a Lush store, and I'd like to be able to stock up on masks that I love when I get the chance to and keep them good for awhile.Asked on 10/30/2012 by Liz from United States1 answer
A:
Our Fresh Face Masks contain fabulous ingredients that are most potent and beneficial before the expiry date. We don't recommend freezing the masks, since freezing and thawing the product will affect the effectiveness of the mask and the ability of the ingredients to do their job.Answered on 10/30/2012 by Anonymous
Q:
Does this need to be refrigerated?Asked on 3/6/2012 by Anonymous4 answers
A:
YES! All Lush fresh face masks must be kept refrigerated or they will grow mold and become super gross!Answered on 6/25/2012 by Linny the Florist from Austin, TxA:
YES. refrigerate this. There are perishable items in it, so you have to preserve it. Plus, the cool feeling on your face is great.Answered on 4/14/2012 by Anna from Ocala,FLA:
yes it does. That's the reason it's not sold online, because they would not be able to keep the product refrigerated while shipping and it would arrive ruined.Answered on 3/17/2012 by Jenny from Atlanta, GAA:
Yes, the fresh face masks need to be refrigerated at all times because they do not contain any preservatives. Keep an eye on the expiration date as well, since they only last about three weeks.Answered on 3/7/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:

Q:
is it safe to use while pregnant? I'm 13 weeks pregnant and suffer from some breakouts. I'd like to use something gentle and safe.Asked on 2/1/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
A:
I don't expect there should be any problems using the Cupcake during pregnancy, and if you are concerned or have any unique circumstances, I'd recommend bringing the ingredients list to your physician to discuss which products would be best suited to your needs during this time.Answered on 2/17/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:
How often should you do the cupcake mask?Asked on 12/28/2011 by Anonymous from Saint Paul Minnesota2 answers
A:
We recommend using Cupcake face mask about two to three times per week.Answered on 1/13/2012 by Alyssa from LUSHA:
I would use the product at least every other day or every 2 days depending on your skin type really; I mean I use mine usually every time I shower which can vary; but I enjoy wearing it all the time it's so relaxing and really helps my skin; but I know at the store they say they are good for like 3 weeks or so but I've had mine for like a month and it was fine and I probably used it like 4 times a week or even 5 at the mostAnswered on 2/6/2012 by Steff from Limerick, PA
Q:
How often do you use the face mask? Every night? Every other night?Asked on 12/26/2011 by jessicarae from Atlanta, GA2 answers
A:
We usually recommend starting with using the mask about twice a week, but it really depends on your skin! Some people find that using a little bit every day is great, some people prefer a thicker layer of the mask less frequently. Experiment and find the right fit for you!Answered on 7/13/2012 by Laura from LUSHA:
I use this product about once a week. I wouldn't recommend using it every night or every other night because the product will be used up too quickly. I think that every 3-5 days is fine!Answered on 1/21/2012 by Sarah from Philadelphia, PA.
