Lush Lip Scrub by Lush, Lip Exfoliant Review

Tasty, effective lip scrub

I really love the LUSH lip scrubs. There are a few different flavors to suit your preference. I have the Sweet Lips scrub which smells (and tastes) like chocolate and vanilla. This scrub is effective at exfoliating the lips, yet it is gentle and all natural. Since the scrub is sugar-based it is totally edible. Eating my dry lip skin is not appealing so I wipe this off but I have seen people j...read moreust eat the scrub. It's nice that this is natural enough for that to be an option. I use this at least once a day and it helps my lip products glide on easily without collecting in dry areas. The natural oils in the scrub also help moisturize your lips. A pot of this will last quite a while. I have had mine for six months now and am only about half way through it.

Lips Never Felt So Smooth

Here's what LUSH says about the product: "Our sweetest confection exfoliates lips smooth, prepping them for your favorite lip color or balm. A blend of exfoliating Fair Trade sugar and moisturizing jojoba oil, this lip scrub is sure to leave your lips enticingly soft and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time! Scrub Bubblegum over your lips (be sure to lick off the excess) and then apply your f...read moreavorite lip color for a flawless finish." I am very impressed with the quality of this scrub, first of all the scrub itself is not hard or abrasive at all, it's actually quite gentle on the lips. Although it is gentle, it does a wonderful job in removing dead skin cells from your lips. In addition, this scrub exfoliates your lips so perfectly that immediately when you rub your lips together you already feel the softness and smoothness of your lips even after using this scrub after 1 time! How to use: I use a q-tip and scrape off a little bit of product from the jar and I place it on my lips, I then slowly rub my lips together (sort of as if you had chapstick on). Once I do that for 5-10 seconds, I get a wet napkin and wipe the scrub off (I've seen people lick the scrub off which is safe but I think it's a bit gross to lick off your dead skin). Is it safe to eat? I am not a health professional but I am just going off of what LUSH and customers have stated, which is that it is ok to lick off this product and actually eat it, and that's because its ingredients are all natural. In fact LUSH is a company which not only does not test on animals, but they have all fresh ingredients, organic fruit and vegetables, in their products! Ingredients: Castor Sugar, Cold Pressed Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Methyl Ionone, Flavor, Polyester-3, D&C Red No. 28, D&C Red No. 21. Critics of this scub: I read a lot of reviews of people basically saying this scrub is a rip off because all its made out of is sugar. Let's be honest here, a lot of us are not experts in DIY ("Do It Yourself" basically making our own products) yes you can make a similar scrub at home for a lot less, but for me I'm not much of a DIY person and I love the fact that this tastes and smells just like bubblegum (which will be hard to re-create with your own ingredients). My overall opinion: I am glad I purchased this lip scrub, my lips have never felt so smooth! It has helped me with my chapped, dry (winter) lips, and although it can be messy is does an excellent job in exfoliating the lips! Is it worth the price? Honestly....YES, the reason is because I purchased this in November 2012 and I just finished it this month July 2013...8 months worth of scrub for $9.95 is pretty amazing! To check it out make sure to visit a LUSH store or LUSH website! Will I re-purchase? Not anytime soon, reason is because I still have my ELF Studio Line Lip Exfoliator which I highly recommended back in October 2012 and I've been neglecting it since I started using the LUSH scrub. In time, I will eventually purchase another LUSH lip scrub, but I want to try their other flavors which I believe are popcorn and mint juleps.

Yummy & Soothing

This is SO delicious and effective! The jar is overflowing with product when you get it. I love exfoliating with this because the taste is simply amazing. I bought Chocolate Vanilla. Leaves my lips feeling soft and supple because of all the oils in it. The packaging is awesome- a simple glass pot. Once this product runs out I will make my own sugar scrub and put it in this jar. This product was a little expensive and it is very easy to make yourself.
