Lush Lip Scrub Review

I brought the cola one of this just before Christmas as I just wanted to try something a little different. It tastes really good, and the little eatable hearts on top were very cute. But I personally find it so messy to use then after wards I’m just left with a sticky mess on and around my lips. Also I didn’t really notice a difference in my lips after using it. I use many other Lush products that I love and would highly recommend but for me the lip scrub just doesn’t work. (Sorry Lush I still love you). I feel kinda bad about this because everyone else on here seems to love it, but products don't always work for everyone I guess x

I love the feeling of body scrubs, so I was excited to try this lip scrub. However, I find that it doesn't work well with super dry lips. I wanted it to exfoliate and remove the dead skin in my lips but it only made them really sore and raw. My lips were left even drier. I do find that it works best when your lips are only slightly dry or when you apply some lip balm first. I didn't find that this was hydrating at all.

I have the bubblegum lip scrub and the colour is a bright pink. However the colour doesn't stain or colour your lips at all. The smell if very sweet and it does indeed smell like bubble gum. It also tastes really sweet, I guess because it is largely made out of sugar. It's actually too sweet for me so when I'm done exfoliating I just wipe the excess off with a tissue.

Overall I am a bit disappointed with this product as it didn't live up to its expectations I had. I had heard great things about this product and it had heaps of great reviews. I probably won't be purchasing this again, mainly because for the price you can just make your own for less than half the price, and I prefer lip balm as it hydrates my lips better.

I gave three stars on reccomending it to a friend as not everyone has sensitive skin like I do. I did a patch test on my wrist and it felt lovely. I applied it gently to my lips but the rough sugars in it shredded my lips and left them very sore. This is not a product for sensitive lips.

This was the second Lush lip item I've used and it will definitely be the last.

I'm not sure what the other flavours are like but I found the Popcorn one to be totally off-putting and 'chemically' tasting. It certainly wasn't something you would want to lick off and in fact I had to scrub my teeth each time I used it to get rid of the taste.

It sort-of worked to smooth my lips but not as successfully (or cheaply) as just using a damp face flannel which was my old routine.

There are definitely cheaper alternatives and I would look at making my own version at home in future.

I bought the cola lip scrub during the Christmas season. I do like the packaging. It's cute and the glass bottle is very sturdy. It also comes with a screw too so you won't get product everywhere. That's where the pros end for me unfortunately. Whilst the cola flavour does smell go and taste good,it didn't work well as a lip scrub in my opinion. The chunks were hard and left my lips messy and sticky feeling which I don't like. It also left my lips more dry and patchy than before using it. I also felt that I wasted a lot of it trying to scoop it out of the little pot.

I tried this the other day, I couldn't handle the smell of it, the texture, put it on once and that was enough for me. I had heard so many good things about it too. Not sure why I couldn't handle it. My daughter is trying it now. Such a shame cause I usually love all lush products :(.

Felt like sugar on my lips not nice, too much texture, not good sensory needs. Would like something a little less clumpy
