Lush Lip Scrub Review

I got this given to me by my friend, I have it in the bubblegum flavour. It does taste really good and the product itself is quite effective but I just didn't like it. It wasn't the product for me. Its not something I would like to lick off my lips along with the skin and I know you can wipe it off too but the sugar just gets all over my mouth area and chin and its gets too sticky.. It would be better if you did it in your shower routine but when you're in a rush and NEED softer lips its not ideal unless you like having sugar all over your face :P

I received Lush Lip Scrub in Mint Julip as part of a gift set as a Christmas Present. I was super excited to trial this product as I love the concept.

The lip scrub comes in a glass pottle with a screw tip lid and the iconic Lush logo. I am not a huge fan of the packaging as I dislike putting my finger into product and would prefer to be able to squeeze it out.

Mint Julip smells incredible! It has a strong peppermint smell at first and then is rounded out with yummy chocolate notes. I couldn't wait to get started and knew I would be licking this scrub off rather than wiping it off!

The scrub is quite dry through the top layers which I expected after reading a few reviews. I used a spoon to mix it all up which really helped to distribute the oils through consistently. Another tip I picked up was to use the scrub using the tooth brush which I also followed.

The scrub is lovely and gritty without being too harsh, it made my lips tingle and as expected, I had a wee taste and was pleasantly surprised. I would have liked more moisturing oils and butters as afterwards my lips felt quite dry, This product will last and last as you only need a little bit. I use it once a week as I find my lips can't take much more exfoliating and end up too dry.

Oh this lip scrub comes in a little glass jar with a black screw top lid. This xmas scrubb I got is a beautiful shade of red and does smell of xmas, smells a little bit of cola and xmas spice and it looks amazing sitting in this wee jar and it smells eatable. So I stick my finger in and scoop out a blob, it feels very heavy and the beads of scrubb are quite big. So I slap this on my lips that are moist with a little water and rub this scrub around. It feels quite nice and tastes ok as a little bit gets in my mouth so I'm not eating it I can just taste it. I find it quite hard to scrub just my lips, so lips and surrounding area get done, and when I look up into the mirror I look like a clown trying to remove my red lipstick. Ha ha my mouth is red with this stuff all over my mouth, so I give it a good rinse and then I have to pick some wee bits of red scrub bits off. Hmmmm well I can't wait to get through the pottle then chuck it and I won't buy any ever again. It was not what I expected, the scrub itself was just too sticky and the beads off scrubb didn't really do much scrubbing and the red nearly stained my face, I was so disappointed as I've brought this for presents for people before and had never tried it. I'm bad.

I didn't LOVE this product, sure, I loved the smell and taste, but for the price, I thought it would make my lips feel like they had been touched by kim k and her flawless-ness. After using this product up, I decided I would just stick to lightly scrubbing my lips with my exfoliating gloves, which honestly, did the job 10 times better, just without the sweet smell and taste. Probably won't purchase this product again.

I used the bubblegum lip scrub and yes I did do what it said but I found it to be far to harsh to scrub my poor lips... It made them burn and feel super sore. Don't get me wrong I love lush products but this was a real let down for me :( it also didn't last long before it went all hard in the tub and I had to constantly mix water in it

I love lush, the smells from the stores drawer you in like a crazy drug!! And they overwhelm your senses! And i just wanted to eat this lip scrub and im pretty sure i did a few times with the leftover product!! I purchased the bubble gum flavour and absolutly love it! The smell is amazing and so is the taste. It definitely exfoliates the lips! You could make this at home all by yourself, but would it ever smell or taste as good as a lush scrub?!!

I bought this recently and while I do enjoy it I find it expensive for what it really is. Seems like just putting a bunch of sugar on my lips would achieve the same thing. Also, it's quite messy and I always seem to be left with a bit of the scrub on my face. It does smell and taste delicious though, just not sure its something I would buy again!

Each time I go to lush store I would grab this lip scrub I love it makes my lips feel soft , I love the smell of the bubble gum , sometimes I would lick my lips just to taste it , I would go back and buy them again

I have the bubblegum lip scrub which is very delicious smelling and tastes pretty good too. It is a bright pink sugar scrub and is essentially made up of castor sugar, bubblegum flavouring and pink food colouring (so it is harmless to eat but not of any nutritional value). Nut I love that it is ediable unlike most lip products we ingest.

As a lip scrub I didn't find it the best. I found that skin started flaking off my lips after using it which made them look worse than they did prior to using the scrub.

I also loved the eco-friendly packaging of the scrub. I'm definitely more likely to buy a product if it has eco-friendly packaging.

All in all an interesting experience.
