 Lush Cosmetics - DARK ANGELS Facial Cleanser 

#RANTorRAVE 

This face scrub is one of my latest purchases from the Lush Store (I got this at the Norwich branch) and it is amazing.

I have been focusing on reducing the size of my pores and eliminating/preventing blackheads lately, and thought I would give this a try. 

I was a little worried at first as I had read some SCARY reviews online about how hard it was wash off (as you can see in the pic below it's VERY black), and how harsh it can be on the skin. Since using it I have to say I haven't really had this problem. If you are buying a scrub with charcoal in you have to expect a little mess right?! It looks like a hard rock in the pot but when you touch it, it's kind of spongy and you only need a very small amount when applying. 
It has a very 'earthy' fragrance. Not sure if I like that or not, it has taken some getting used to!!

I rubbed a small amount on my hands to break it down, it turns into a kind of paste, applied to my face and left it to work for a few mins before massaging and rinsing off. 

Word of warning, if you don't like the 'tingle' sensation I would say either to not leave it on or steer clear. It is not harsh but you can feel it working.

The first time I used it I wasn't totally blown away - I thought I couldn't see or feel a dramatic difference. However when I went upstairs and started doing my make up, I found my skin to be smoother and easier for my foundation to go on. It works better after more uses. I don't know if maybe your skin just takes time to adjust. I has helped to reduce the amount of blackheads I am noticing and certainly think I will keep using it. 

This retails at £6.75 for the 100g pot, which I think will last ages. It contains black sugar, charcoal, rhassoul mud and avocado oil. 

All in all, I am chuffed with it and will probably repurchase once it's all used. I'll be sure to let you know how long it lasts!!
