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 Cupcake fresh face mask:
I bought this Cupcake Mask because I really wanted to own something from LUSH but not everything they sell is ideal for my budget. But when I saw this mask, I went crazy. Great price and definitely worth it! I lathered it on my face and let it sit for ten minutes. It was super easy to wash off and left my skin clean and soft! I definitely saw an improvement with my blemishes and after three uses, my acne was gone! The only complaint I have is this stuff does not smell very good. It does smell like chocolate but in a very artificial sort of way. Don't expect to be putting on a candy bar but do expect great things of this mask. It's a Girls Best Friend.

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
This product is AWESOME! I had been wanting to try Lush products and this was the first thing I bought and I'm so glad I chose it. After using it one time, the next morning my face just felt so clean and refreshed. I have oily skin but I'm sure you can use this with any skin type. I will definitely keep purchasing this one. I have only tried one other mask and didn't like it at all (Cosmetic Warrior) but I look forward to trying more products in the future. A+

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I LOVE this mask! It is great for my oily skin, but can be over drying if used too frequently. It's best to use it only once or twice a week. This mask will cause you to have a mini breakout after using, but I think its because its literally drawing all the dirt and grime out of your pores. So its cool with me. I use it at night, rinse off and apply some greased lightning to any small pimples that may have developed. When I wake up the next day my skin is clear, soft and refreshed!

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
Tried Cupcake for the first time this weekend and I'm in love! It smells amazing, like you are slathering your skin in delicious chocolate icing!
Made my skin look and feel really nice too. It sopped up excess oil in my t-zone but left my typically dry cheeks nice and soft.
As someone who has teenage-style acne for the first time at almost 30, this is definitely going to have a permanent place in my anti-zit aresenal!

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I absolutely love this mask. I have acne prone skin, but it's cleared up a lot since I started using it. My skin is also pretty oily, especially on my cheeks & my forehead, but after using this mask, it soaks up pretty much all the oil for DAYS.
I use this along w/ Herbalism & it works wonders.

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I have always had cystic acne and since getting pregnant it has gotten especially bad. Prior to becoming pregnant I was on a strict regimen from my dermatologist with retinol A and antibiotics, with only mediocre results, and since getting off that my skin has gone wild...horrible cysts all over my cheeks, chin, and neck. I put this on my face last night, washed it off after 10-15 minutes, and when I woke up this morning my face looked completely different!! All of my cysts are healing and the redness is completely gone.

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I was dying to try a face masks, the problem is that there are very few Lush stores by me so it took sometime to locate one and find the time to go. Boy and I in love, I recently had a bad skin break out and was using an overload of chemical products that either dried my skin out or made the problem worse. This face mask has been improving my skin condition and reducing spots each time I use it (I've only had it for three days). While I love the bath bombs, melts, and lip products, this is my favorite lush product.

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
This is a fantastic product. I have super oily skin and this product helps keep that in check. I'm not super thrilled with having to keep it in the fridge, but I'm willing to put up with that. Also, it does have a somewhat...odd smell to it. It's not necessarily a bad smell, but not really a pleasant one either.

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I bought this product two weeks ago, and so far I have used it three times. I am in love with its smell: I wish I could use it daily! I cannot say enough about the awesome feeling it leaves on my skin when I apply right from the fridge: it feels so refreshed, the equivalent of jumping in a swimming pool on a really hot day. My skin feels renewed, it feels pampered and spoiled. Every time it gives me the feeling of being at a really fancy spa. I was so happy when I first used it, that I feared I might spend my whole salary buying lots of it. However, I have very oily, acne-prone skin, and I have tried everything out there except Lush. This is my first Lush product for the face. Reading the description and based on the recommendations from the lady at the store, I was convinced I had finally found the cure, but after 3 uses my acne hasn't completely disappeared: it is less inflamed and red, but it is still there. I guess I should perhaps finish it all before seeing results, all I am saying is that the results weren't as radical as the description had me believe. I love the smell and the feeling so so much that I will keep buying, regardless of whether it gets rid of my spots completely.

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
Tried this out for a month and it didn't do anything for my skin. It smelled super good though, and helped calm and relax me. It irritated my skin but it was nothing Angels on Bare Skin couldn't fix. Perhaps this would work better on non sensitive, not so acne prone skin. It does moisturize your skin though.

This is the first product I've bought from lush that is used on the face and I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH IT! I use it every other night since I bought it and it has worked wonders! It got rid of tiny little bumps on my face that never went away no matter what I tried. It always leaves my face so soft and fresh afterwards. I rarely break out now so I highly reccomend this product!

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I love this face mask. It goes on smooth, smells great, is effective, and my boyfriend loves how my face "tastes like chocolate" after I use it haha. The only negative is that if you leave it on to on the product cakes off your face and falls all over the place (however, as do all face masks). Great product. Give it a try (especially if you are a chocoholic).

Comments about Cupcake fresh face mask:
I used this product at least 3 times a week, and it is honestly one of the most marvelous things I have ever found. I have extremely oily, greasy, teenageacnescarredhavoc, for a face. I've spent endless amounts of money on products and dermatologist visits, but nothing got my face as clear and healthy looking as Cupcake. It was almost like the mask sucked all the oil away and left it feeling silky smooth. It even helped with the redness and irritation from acne, making my skin look clearer than it ever has. I absolutely LOVE this product and thank heaven that Miami finally has a Lush store I can access for this mask. Thank you Lush Gods, you have answered my prayers.

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

Our Fresh Face Masks contain fabulous ingredients that are most potent and beneficial before the expiry date.

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 LUSHA:
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. 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,FL

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

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

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.
