Looking Lush! Mask of Magnaminty Review

I've done it. I've posted a photo of myself on the internet covered in green. But I don't mind because it is showing you one of my very favourite beauty products and if my ugly mug tempts you to try this mask of amazingness then it's worth it :)


Mask of Magnaminty is one those Lush products that gets slightly overlooked and is totally under-rated. It is my go to whenever my skin is feeling dull and grumpy with me and is in general need of a wake up.


This face mask gets is lovely strong, tingly minty smell (just like mint ice cream!) from lots of peppermint oil and that is exactly what makes it so great for waking up skin thats feeling a bit sluggish. Peppermint is also incredibly good at drying up pesky spots, just pop a bit of the mask on when you can feel one lurking to beat it under submission again. It is actually advertised as a face and back pack and is designed to be used on even sensitive skin. There are two different tub sizes available, this one which is 315g and costs £8.75 and a smaller 125g tub which is £4.95.
When it comes to application, the mask spreads really smoothly across the face due to the combination of glycerin, kaolin, talc and bentonite gel that make up the base of the product. As you can see from the photo there is also a scrub to the mask that comes from ground aduki beans and evening primrose seeds which is nice and effective for making sure any grubbiness from the skin is scrubbed away as you wash off the mask.

Mask of Magnaminty leaves skin feeling super smooth, refreshed, clean and ultimately a lot healthier than before using it. I'm not the sort of person who religiously uses face masks but this is one that I do repurchase and another plus side is that if, like me, you struggle to use up the fresh face masks from Lush in the three week time slot, this mask keeps for 4 months and doesn't need refrigeration.

Personally I think its a must have, but what do you think? Have you ever used Mask of Magnaminty? What's your favourite mask for when your skin feels a bit dull?

    1. Its a great one to start off with if you havent tried Lush before because it gives a lovely quick effect and shows you how fab the products are :) If this sounds right for your skin, then the tea tree water is probably worth a nosey as well :) xx
