I never go in to Lush but I bought this because I was there buying a present for someone and I thought "hmm I need a lip scrub". I didn't read the ingredients or anything until a few days later, and I must admit i'm pretty pissed. It is SO over priced for what it actually is. ANYONE could make this product. It's basically just castor sugar and flavouring. I would never purchase this product again as it is a million times cheaper just making it myself. I guess the only thing I'm unhappy with is the price though, it does do what it says it's going to do, and it tastes nice. But as I have already said, anyone can make it, and it's just sugar.

Tips: Don't buy it, make your own.
I bought this lip scrub to help exfoliate and remove my dry scaly lips. However, I find the results mediocre. It was irritating my lips a bit even though it was only sugar and jojoba oil and flavouring. I did not find it sucessful in removing my dry lip skin. The taste is bearable, the smell is strong bubble gum. The product hardens too quickly and form massive sugar lumps and it is very pricey.
I'm a massive fan of Lush. I love everything they stand for and a lot of their products are my holy grails but this lip scrub is definitely not one of them.
I own the bubblegum flavour, it is delicious, it smells really good and it does semi-moisturize my lips but honestly, I prefer making a lip scrub myself. My $12.50 could have been better spent elsewhere.
It didn't slough off the dead skin on my lips like any lip scrub would do, in fact, a warm, damp towel does a way better job.
I love it only for days when I'm wearing matte lipsticks, which is basically all the time. I love it for smoothing off my lips before lip balm so it's not entirely useless but it's not necessarily useful for people who have super chapped lips either.
It just doesn't do anything special for me. When I'm done with my little jar, I won't be repurchasing it again.
This vibrant pink, amazing smelling bubble gum lip scrub really gets rid of all the dead skin and evidence of me nervously biting my lips however even if I really moisturise my lips afterwards the effects don't last long and if I it use more than 2-3 times a week it actually dries my lips out even more and then I'm back at square one. But if you are looking for a quick fix to make your lips look good for an event or or short period of time ( a day or night out) this product is perfect.
I do love this product and the way it makes my lips feel afterwards although it is quite expensive for a lip scrub. Other that that though the smell and product itself is great.
I like lip scrubs however the scent of this I wasnt a big fan of, definitely works though! Lush is all handmade too which I love
I was surprisingly happy with the flavour of this, as I usually don't like the taste of sweet bubblegum flavoured things! It was good, although personally I wouldn't but it again just because I could easily enough use sugar and honey from the pantry - which does the exact same thing.
Tips: Make sure to exfoliate for a long time, or you are left with dry skin semi-attached to your lip. Keep smacking them lips together until it feels velvety smooth!
I'm a huge fan of Lush products, so was excited to buy this in my last Lush haul. The scent and taste of this scrub is fabulous (I got the bubblegum flavour pictured), and the idea of applying something and licking it off it simply genius! However my love for this product stops about there.
Sure its a fun product to use, but I found it also rather messy with sugar granules going everywhere and it left my mouth area really sticky. And in terms of results, my lips felt a bit smoother straight after suing, but I saw no difference in the condition of my lips long term(or longer than an hour). So Lush gets 10 points for a novel idea, but I wont be repurchasing, as once the novelty wears off it just becomes a sticky waste of time.
A friend of mine is a huge lush fan like myself and was telling me about this. So off I went and brought it.
I really like the packaging. The wee pottle/jar is small enough to take anywhere. I really like the smell! Now that's where my really likes end.
So you have to dip your finger in (I don't like that) then you have to rub it onto your lips. The bits of sugar drop down your top. Well it does for me.
I can see it being more of a teenager sort of product. It does make your lips smooth.
Tips: Use it before a shower or a wash
I'm a self confessed lushie- yet i hate this product. Im always so confused as to what is the point of it? Lush always has a wide variety of scrub avaialble especially with the limited edition range i.e easter, halloween, xmas- so theres always a new flavour and a define smell, yet i feel its wasted on such a product. That being said the few times i have tried to used them they are very delicous so its not like my failures have been a traumatizing experience.
Tips: keep out of sun otherwise it will leak into a sugary syrupy mess
