This is one of those products I would never of dreamed of buying but received it in a gift pack and got a big surprise.
I received the Xmas/Santa cola version. At first was very surprised at how dry the product was I expected it to be like a facial scrub. However my lips felt amazing afterwards!!
The feeling is short lived but that is not the products fault and would be enhanced if you put lip balm on afterwards.
The glitter hearts in the product and the colouring I felt are unnecessary.
The flavour is amazing, however it doesn't smell as great as it tastes.
But overall I am sold
So, after making my way into Lush for the first time ever last week, I picked up some things I desperately wanted to try and this was one of them! Actually, I wanted to try the bubblegum (and I did!) but I ended up leaving the store with the Popcorn one instead.
Firstly, the tub looks really small for $12.50, but as you'll see you really need the smallest amount possible. I don't think I'll use that up in a year of daily use.
The contents are as you'd imagine it to be, a deliciously smelling, sugar scrub. The top is a bit hard, but once you're through (in a couple of days) you'll get to the messier, looser product (where you'll wish you were still at the very top).
After rubbing it on your finger, scrub it on your lips, how hard you scrub totally depends on you, but my lips are always chapped because I have the nasty habit of chewing on them at night in my sleep, so I scrub harder to get rid of it all. If your lips are a bit more sensitive, don't scrub too hard or it may hurt!
Then, they say to lick it off. Now, the bubblegum test I did in the shop was yummy, but the popcorn one tastes more like oils, and it's a sweet and sour flavour that I don't like too much. I think the smell is way better than the taste! So, I simply wipe it off... I don't know how good it can be to eat oil everyday, especially when there was much debate on whether or not to add a couple of drops of essential oils to your water in the mornings - which the answer was NOT, please don't say I said you should do that!
Overall though, the concept is really cool, and I will definitely repurchase instead of attempting my own DIY or searching for another one.
