Cosmetic Warrior Face Mask

The Cosmetic Warrior face mask is advertised as a product for troubled skin. If you have any redness, oily skin, dry skin or suffer from breakouts, then this is supposed to be the face mask for you. I'm 20 and I still suffer from 'teenage skin'. My face is oily and I suffer from breakouts very very easily and boy, you do not want to see my face after I finish work! If you think my skin is oily on a 'good' day, it's like a frying pan once I walk out of that shop (I work in retail).

My main face mask is Cupcake because that worked absolute wonders for my skin so I decided to try Cosmetic Warrior as it's designed for the same skin type as Cupcake.

When I am first trying a face mask, I only buy the sample just in case I don't like it and I am so glad that I only bought the sample of Cosmetic Warrior.

After stepping out of the gorgeous bath that I had just had, I decided to give the face mask a go. So after towelling myself dry and getting changed, I opened the small tub and began applying it to my face.

Before I go into details about Cosmetic Warrior, you should know that the ingredients consist of free-range eggs, honey, fresh green grapes, fresh garlic and tea tree oil. When I first read this I thought to myself 'I hate eggs...  I really hate the smell of eggs. Oh no... Am I going to hate the smell of this?'

The answer to that was... Yes.

Cosmetic Warrior smells absolutely revolting. It was disgusting to the point where I actually gagged on the smell. I thought that maybe it was just me that thought this but I tried the face mask out on my Mom and my sister and they both thought it was horrible too.

This is not what I want my face smelling like when I come out of a fresh, lovely-smelling shower or bath. Luckily, the smell of this face mask doesn't linger on your skin for too long, I would say for about 15 minutes.

I get that all the ingredients that are used in this face mask are really good for your skin and can make your skin feel smooth, moisturised and clean but fresh garlic and eggs together? That didn't feel like a great combination of smells to me.

But!!!!

It does make my skin feel very very smooth and my Mom and sister also agreed with me on this. My skin felt softer than it does when I use Cupcake and I did notice that during the month where I was using Cosmetic Warrior, my skin wasn't was oily and the redness across my nose and on my cheeks had reduced slightly.

In this aspect of the product, I was very very impressed but every time I had to put that face mask on, I dreaded it because of the smell.

Am I being dramatic? I don't know... All I've got is my Mom and sister to corroborate it and other reviews that I have read have said that the smell isn't nice.

Overall, this product is probably the worst smelling product that Lush have released but it works absolute wonders for your face and if you suffer from redness like I do then give this face mask a try. Just wear a peg on your nose whilst doing it.
