Lush Mask of Magnaminty Review

This is one of my top Lush products and I've been using it for almost 2 years. I have oily sensitive skin so I’m always concerned about trying face masks incase they suck the living daylight out of my face but this product has been kind to me.

I don’t use this on my body at all (I see that as a waste haha); I use it as a full facial mask or purely to spot treat those evil bumps that turn up uninvited.

I’m not a fan of minty smelling products but I can make an exception with this one because it’s quite refreshing and unlike Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Mask it doesn’t have an overpowering ‘clay’ smell when it’s sitting on your face.

The product has a thick consistency and if you can hold your excitement try to apply thin layers because if it goes on thick you’re just wasting the product that sits on top of the layer next to your skin. I don't have any discomfort when applying or wearing the mask; it has a lovely cooling sensation which is very nice after a day of “face paint”.

I like to leave it on for 20 minutes which is a miracle considering I have sensitive skin. I always apply the face mask before a shower because removing it at the sink is just a complete mess. My face feels lovely and soft and there is no tightness. I could really see the difference after using it 4 times. Whenever I spot treat, I know that it will help to calm the evil bumps and they don't appear to be as prominent the next day.

Price-wise $18.90 is ok because it’s not a face mask I wear every day so you can stretch this out just be mindful of the expiration date. I did try to find an alternative but was not satisfied at all so I happily buy this as a permanent part of my skincare routine.

As part of a recent Lush order I did, they threw in a generous sample of this mask. I hadn't tried it prior to that and was looking forward to giving it a go, particularly because it has exfoliating particles in it.

This mask is a thick green paste with small gritty parts in it. It smells like mint and feels extremely cooling on your skin upon application. The texture is really thick so it takes a little bit of work to get it into your skin.

I like to use a brush to apply this all over my face and I leave it on for around 30 minutes. Then I rinse it off with warm water and moisturise as per usual.

After using this the redness in my face looks less extreme and my face feels extremely clean and fresh. My skin doesn't feel dry during use or after using it either.

I love how this feels while this is on my face and after. My skin feels super clean and renewed. I will definitely be purchasing this when my sample has run out.

I used the Lush Mask of Magnaminty for two years whilst suffering from hormonal break outs and full blown acne. There was nothing I could do to stop the blemishes forming, but the Mask of Magnaminty did a brilliant job at significantly minimising the blemishes and hurrying them along. I have tried many face masks, and this one has the fastest, most visible results.

The mask itself is thick, green and rough. It spreads reasonably easily over the face, but it does use quite a bit of product because of its thickness. This isn't a gentle mask, as the peppermint can be a little overwhelming. It's incredibly cooling and cleansing, but back away now if you have sensitive skin. I leave this mask on for 5-10 minutes, but it isn't a mask you can sit back, relax and forget about. However, it is incredibly effective. I rinse the mask off with warm water and a face cloth and my blemishes are instantly smaller, my pores are tiny and my skin feels fresh and smooth. This mask beats Glamglow, and every other mask I have tried for shrinking blemishes. Lastly, this is from Lush, so it is handmade, cruelty free and has no nasties.

I recommend this mask to anyone with break outs or acne, but not sensitive skin. It would also give anyone's skin a deep clean, but other than deep cleaned skin, it would have no other benefit for someone without blemishes. I personally no longer use this mask, simply because I rarely breakout and this mask does expire, so I don't have get enough use from it.

After hearing/reading the amazing reviews on this product, i was actually shocked that this seemed to be a product that i had consistenctly walked past in Lush without a second thought. Well not anymore, i picked one of these up recently because the reviews made it impossible not too.

I wont bore you with the details about the packaging (okay maybe a little), but it comes in the same black screw top container that all lush masks comes in. Its also part of the recycling scheme where 5 containers get you a free face mask when returned to Lush stores, so that's a great benefit of recycling.

If you don't like Mint, close this browser and stop reading this review because this mask is just full of minty goodness. From the second you open this container, to the moment is applied to your face its just mint, mint and more mint. Don't get me wrong, its not over powering, and it doesn't make my eyes water. It just smells minty, and refreshing.

The colour of this mask is green, and i would describe it as a thick paste, with chunks of either primrose seeds, of the aduki beans spread throughout (not sure which one it is), but i find it provides a lovely texture to the mask, and provides a gentle exfoliation to my sensitive skin which i loved.

Because of the thick texture, i do find it a little tricky to spread the mask out in a nice thin layer, but its not impossible.

So does the mask do what it says? It definitly gives my skin a gentle exfoliation, and it makes me seem fresh and it smells oh-so-good. But it did struggle to remove the deep blackheads from my pores so it doesnt get a tick for that one (but then nothing ever really does).

Overall a decent mask for Lush, and one that is worth a try!

I love this product! A friend recommended Mask of Mag to me when I was struggling to clear up the worst break out of my life. It began to help clear up my skin and reduce redness. It is a very effective cleanser and does not dry out my skin. I would definitely use this product again when my skin is taking a trip to hell.

I was recommended this by a Lush employee of course ! I am so glad I found this product.

It is one of the easiest masks to use, it spreads very evenly. None of the bigger blobs fall away from the skin. It dries nice and fast. It does no irritate, it cleans away nicely and itsnt a messy product. This mask has saved my Tzone from congestion and breakouts !!

This is a gorgeous product, that worked so well on my skin. I have very oily skin, and often find it difficult to find products that contain just the right amount of oils in it as to ensure that my skin retains moisture, and doesn't dry out but also doesn't remain oily. This mask had huge benefits for my skin, it helped clear up blocked pores on my nose, as well as pimples in my t-zone. I would use this mask once-twice a week, depending on how bad my skin was. Often using it twice during my monthly cycle, as that is when I usually get bad break outs.

This mask has a gorgeous smell, and is extremely refreshing on the skin. I would recommend not leaving it on for too long though, as it can go flaky and hard which makes it tough to get off. Other than that, I would 100% recommend this product to girls and boys out there who want their skin to feel fab!

It. Smells. So. Good! Seriously, I don't even like mint and I think this is amazing. The mask is quite thick but goes on the skin smoothly. It takes a while to set but it doesn't set in that dry, sort of itchy way that some masks do. I really like Magnaminty, it feels the same on your skin as your mouth does just after you've brushed with spearmint toothpaste, almost tingly with how clean it is! Absolutely love it.

I was given a big sample of this by a lovely friend and after trying it, I loved it so much I bought a full size 125g pot for $18.50. The masks from Lush are my fave and this one is at the tippy top of my list! At first the look of it put me off a tad It looks like smooshed peas in a pot. But the minty smell it gives off it both refreshing and invigorating to the senses. This comes in the signature black pot with the simple but effective plain jane design. It includes all the important stuff you need to know like ingredients and purpose along with the name of the product. It has a screw top lid which keeps it fresher for longer.

The fact that it helps remove dirt from pores is what gets me excited the most! I have a problem area which gets black head around my nose so any product that will help keep my face dirt free and clean is a help to preventing these lil nasties! I use this mask once a week, usually on a Sunday when it's Shana time. I make sure I thoroughly cleanse my face before use to give it the best foundation to work with. I spread it on my face generously to get the maximum coverage. I avoid the eye area because I find the minty smell irritates my eyes and makes them weep. Going on it's so cooling and refreshing. I tend to keep mine in the fridge to make it that little bit more cooling. It takes your breath away a bit to apply it that cold in the winter but for my angry irritated skin it laps up the coolness and loves every second of it.

I leave this on for a good fifteen minutes. It doesn't dry out, it just stays fresh and cold. It's a bit of a sight to see, so much so that it scares my son hehe. After the fifteen minutes tick by I wash it off with a hot flannel. I rinse after each wipe so I am not spreading dirt around my face.

After I remove it, my skin has the most refreshed, soft, cleansed feeling I have ever experienced. It literally feels like I am washed clean of all impurities on my face! I have been using this now for nearing two months and my skin is now blackhead free yay! My skin feels is almost given a new kick of life after every application! It is so worth the money I assure you.

I am on my second pot of this product. Mask of Magnaminty is a bit costly (nearly 20 bucks per pot) but it smells so delicious, like a vanilla-ry, minty scent.

I notice when I wash it off my face is noticeably smoother, but it doesn't really reduce the redness of existing pimples or breakouts. However, the next day, I do notice that blackheads or whiteheads are "pulled" more to the surface, which I think is due to the bentonite gel. You can also use it for back acne, but I haven't tried it for my back, because I don't suffer from back breakouts.

I probably will not repurchase to find more effective products, but it may work for others.
