Cup o' Coffee Exfoliating Face Mask Review (ॢ˘⌣˘ ॢ⑅)

I should begin this post with saying:

Whoever came up with the idea for this face mask...
I will find you and I will hug you.
You truly are a blessing and I love you.



I wouldn't say that I'm an excessive coffee drinker but the concept of drinking coffee does appeal to me and I will drink it from time to time.

When I was browsing through all the new products at Lush last Friday, I came across this little beauty. The name was what caught my eye. It sounds so... dinky? Probably not the best word but it fits in my mind.

Anyway, my liking of coffee combined with the appealing name made me pick up one of these little pots of heaven.

So when I first got home, as you do, I opened it up, had a little sniff again and, honestly, I was rather overwhelmed by the scent. It was rather strong and I was wondering if I could stomach having it all over my face for 10-15 minutes.


When I finally tried it today I was a little nervous because sickly scents often make me feel quite nauseous. However, it was a lovely surprise to find that the smell was kinda strong but also kinda subtle. I did notice it but it wasn't overpowering! I actually felt quite relaxed while waiting for it to set on my face.

Another positive was that I only needed a very small amount to cover my entire face!

When it finally came to washing it off, I added a bit of water and rubbed the mask around my face a bit. 
I'm not totally sure if this mask is meant to be quite a harsh exfoliater but it was for me ~ this wasn't a bad thing though!


Once I washed the mask off, I found that my face was noticeably smoother and softer. Initially, I expected to find that it would either make my skin smoother or softer (but not both!)

But, I have underestimated its power. 

Without a doubt, this product is going to become my new exfoliater. Thankfully, with my skin type I don't need to exfoliate too frequently so this product would be perfect to use about once a week. 

For coffee lovers and Lushies alike, this is definitely a staple item. 
I would highly recommend it!

More product reviews coming very soon!

Hope you're having a lovely day!
