e.l.f Studio Lip Exfoliator Review

So...I love me a matte lip...but I hate the look when my lips are dry and flakey. I've made a lip scrub before and have another one now...I add it into my evening tooth brushing time...but you have to get all sugary and gross to do it.

This little baby is fun, easy, clean, and tidy, and can be done anywhere. Just rub and apply like lipstick, then wipe granules away with a face wipe. Done! Applied some balm, and you have nice clean scrubbed lips...all the better for kissing hahahaha.

I originally purchased this as it reminded me of the one the Body Shop used to sell (I can’t remember the name) which I loved as it was so easy to use. This product comes in a sturdy black lipstick tube and can be used whenever your lips need some exfoliation. It is definitely easy to use and smells quite nice, almost like maple syrup but I would probably not purchase this again. I have found that I really have to push down hard on my lips and then the product breaks off. I’ve also made my lips bleed while trying to get the chapped skin off as the granules are very big but not overly even. You need to rinse it off your lips after use which was actually quite messy to do as it literally sticks to the lips so you need a flannel to remove it. For the price it is a decent lip scrub but I personally think it’s worth paying a little more and buying a decent one or even making your own.

Great Lip Exfoliant for a really good price. So good to use before applying lipstick for a day out or night out. If you were weary about this prodcut don't be. Best buy.

I bought this product because I've caught the 'elf bug' after watching and reading so many different reviews on all of their other products. This was more of a miss than a hit for me. It was initially very solid- I thought when it warmed up, it would improve.

It didn't.

It went from feeling like a concrete block-style exfoliator, to collapsing in the tube into mush and getting into the bullet mechanism of the lipstick.

When you actually get it onto the lips, it works pretty well, but then you have to remove it, and it doesn't taste great either. I have others I far prefer. It may be intended for an on-the-go exfoliate, but I don't know a) who does exfoliate their lips on-the-go? And b) who would want an on-the-go exfoliator that collapses into it's packaging and becomes essentially useless after a couple of tries.

I'll stick with my much tastier and only slightly more expensive alternatives thanks!

I like the idea of a "lip scrub" in the form of a lipstick. Makes for a easy application. Took the dry peely skin off my lips and left my lips feeling smoother and hydrated

I’m not sure if I received a dud product or what happened, but it was extremely hard and scratchy on my lips, I couldn’t get it to work at all. Smell was nonexistent too, doesn’t taste great, this needs to be washed off, so it’s not really for on the go exfoliation. I have chucked it in the bin without a second thought and I usually hate wasting products, I usually try to find an alternative way to use things up, but I didn’t mind throwing this out. Luckily I’ve bought it pretty cheap from iherb, so not a lot of money wasted.

I have the 'grapefruit' flavour one, picturing it smelling fruity and summer fresh...but it smells like nothing. I wished I got the brown sugar one instead! It is easy enough to use, but I feel like I have to really push it into my lips to exfoliate. It does leave my lips feeling nice - but I can get that from other products with a better user experience. Will continue to use, cause I don't like being wasteful but won't buy again

Randomly I absolutely love this lipstick scrub. Smells great, works brilliantly. Pros - smells great - exfoliates brilliantly - cheap as chips - great to put in handbag Few cons though - Constantly sold out whenever I try to find it (not a con just annoying) - breaks frequently - kinda unhygienic

Would I purchase again, yes if I could find it !!
