Description (also from Lush's website):
Brazened Honey was inspired by traditional Indian ayurvedic principles, which put emphasis on balance as the foundation to health. We combined fresh free-range eggs and honey to soften, with astringent lime oil, antiseptic rosemary and exfoliating ground almonds. Kaolin reaches deep down into pores to pull out dirt and impurities, leaving your skin noticeably brighter and fresher. Our deepest cleansing mask, Brazened Honey is the perfect way to revive sluggish or congested skin.

Thoughts:
I left the mask on for about 15-20 minutes before washing it off as suggested.
As it dries, it kinda hardens, so it took some effort to wash it off. I would not recommend this for those of you with sensitive skin as it can be abit harsh on the skin when you're removing it. For those of you who can tolerate this, it is actually pretty enjoyable to scrub this off as it works as an exfoliant and after washing it off, my face feels squeaky clean.
And my skin looks really bright and radiant! It really makes your face glow just after ONE use. I am totally in love with this.
Works best as an exfoliant/deep cleanser/instant-brightener.
Rating: 8/10 (just cos the washing off can be slightly stinging sometimes)
