Lush Mask : Oatifix

Hello Hello! This review is for Lush's Oatfix Mask!

"Use Oatifix to clean and soften dry and sensitive skin. Oats are calming, ground almonds give you an exfoliating scrub, bananas are softning and illipe butter reduces redness. "

- Lush



I have sensitive, and dry skin so I thought 'Hey, could this be my new HG mask?'
No. It wasn't. This mask has a thick consistency a faint oatmeal smell, it wasn't too overpowering. I didn't notice any almond bits inside. Honestly this didn't do anything!


It didn't help my complexion, my skin didn't feel moisturized or refreshed the mask actually left kind of a slimy residue behind that I had to scrub off. And the mask itself did not exfoliate my face at all..

The expiry date does not help this product either, it expires 1 week from the day I purchased and it was the longest one I could find in store. This cost me around $6-7 CAD.
I will not repurchase this, this was kind of ... useless.

LUSH: Fresh Farmacy



Theres alot of rave on Lush's products, on how their organic, or vegan, all natural, not chemicals, good for your skin. So when there was a "_" day, where they give you a free goodie bag and if you spend x amount of money you get a free item, i went shopping. I got a whole bunch of goodies which i will review later but i got Fresh Farmacy, the lush person said that this is a really gentle cleanser and is good for sensitive skin annnnnnnddddd is suppose to calm redness is skin which was the main reason I bought it. The piece I bought was around $ 7 CAD and it was pretty huge, i cut off a small chunk for my first time used and barely dented it.

My review on this is that it is not worth it. It is a gentle cleanser and a little goes along way but it dries the hell out of my face. No moisturizer, aveeno to clinique, could get rid of the dry patches on my face. It wasn't dry 5 minutes before i washed my face but right after BAM. It has a nice smell, nice texture and got rid of all my make up but it just was too drying. The dryness led to its downfall. Repurchase? No way, i even returned this product. The girl said that maybe Aqua Marina would be better for me but i have my doubts.
