Advantages: A great detox & easy to apply

Disadvantages: Dont leave it on too long as it is hard to get off

Ever since coming across Lush years and years ago I have been hooked by their many face masks, bio-pots etc and the fact that the range is so large and so unique I have hardly ever gone elsewhere for a face mask, face cream or anything else face related! Lush seem to have catered perfectly for me over the years and I happen to be one of those people who think if it aint broke don't fix it! I have a constant stash of their facial range and Mask of Magnamity is a favourite. This green coloured mask does wonders for my dry skin and the fact that it comes in two sizes is even better!

I can say with total confidence that there isn't a deep-cleansing face mask on the market that's as effective as Mask Of Magnaminty. And there are few, if any, on the market that work as a genuine 2-in-one exfoliant and mask the way Mask Of Magnaminty does (even though you may be lured in by marketing and advertising I doubt you could find one as good as this!). This is pure Lush skin care genius; oil absorbent china clay and talc, rehydrating & redness reducing honey, exfoliating aduki beans, hydrating glycerine, vitamin-rich evening primrose, decongestant & vasoconstrictive peppermint, and soothing marigold and vanilla.

Simply put, Mask Of Magnaminty is all things to all people; dry skin is smoothed and softened, oily skin is left without a trace of deep-down dirt, pores are tightened, texture is evened, and vibrancy is returned. The fragrance is primarily owned by sweet aduki beans, peppermint, and vanilla oils, which impart a just-sweet-enough chocolate mint air that lifts the mood, curing both mind and body of jet lag, hangovers, irritability, depression, boredom...the list goes on and on.

Once applied, you might find it hard to rinse it away for fear of losing its cooling, tingling, eye-opening sensation, and if you're like me, you'll stubbornly leave it on waaaay too long, until clumps of aduki beans begin to fall into your lap, reminding you of that scary-as-all-get-out skin peeling scene from Poltergeist (and yet that won't stop you from doing it again and again.) Apply liberally, leave on for 15-20 minutes maximum, and then rinse in circular motions to get the most out of aduki beans' exfoliating action. I find that warm water is better to use to get the mask off as it softens the mask up and gently tends to the skin at the same time. Hot water would be far to brash on the skin after using this mask. Mask of Magnamity is quite like a yoghurt consistency, not too runny but not too thick either and goes on with the lightest touch, as with most things Lush a little goes a long way so don't over do it!

I guarantee your skin will never have felt better. In fact, I guarantee that this will be one of those Lush products that you become utterly addicted to, turning hysterical when your pot is half empty, let alone when you run out. Stock up on this one; keep it with you always. Secretly declare your love to it, kiss it gently each night, shower it with gifts at every holiday. (No, I didn't get carried away right there. Buy a pot of this stuff, and you'll see for yourself why not.) I know there are new regulations about liquids, creams and gels now when flying but if you can sneak a tub of this into your case between clothes then do so as it's great if you've spent the day in the sun!

What Lush say:-

"Deep cleansing, minty, face and back pack.
Do you ever feel so grubby you think you'll never get clean again? After an overnight flight, a marathon in a rabbit suit or a walk along the Marylebone Road during rush hour, do you feel a deep, deep need to be scrubbed clean? Here's a deep, deep cleansing mask to do exactly that, with china clay and bentonite gel to suck the dirt out of your pores, ground aduki beans and evening primrose seeds to exfoliate away your mucky old dead cells and loads of peppermint oil to make you feel so clean, fresh and minty that you'll forget you were ever grubby"

Mask of Magnamity comes in two very handy sizes and prices:-

£3.87 - 125g
£6.80 - 325g

As I said above this is a must for everybody for giving their skin the perfect pamper! This is definitely one that should not be missed out on and the next time you go into store be sure to check it out. You could even be cheeky and ask for a sample if you want to try before you buy!

Summary: Should be on every girl's vanity!
