Lush - Bubblegum Lip Scrub Review.




Today I bought Lush's Bubble Gum Lip Scrub; I have been looking at it for a while online and in store and finally bit the bullet.  

Sadly I am not as impressed as I thought I would be but I still enjoyed using it! 

The ingredients (caster sugar, jojoba oil, flavorings, coloring and methyl ionone) I had hoped would leave me lips really silky soft, supple and moisturized, but... it didn't.

I cannot deny that my lips are softer, but as soon as licking the sugar off, they dried out! 
I assume if you have really dry chapped skin on your lips (especially because of this horrific cold winter weather) and are trying to find a way out of it, you will find a great deal more benefit from the scrub than myself! 

Within the how to use section it does suggest to use lip balm after, so I guess I can let them off! 
After applying it I must admit that my lips feel delightful!

I really like the concept of doing your lips good, and having a tasty sugary treat by licking it off afterwards, my sweet tooth enjoys that a lot! 

As a normally loyal lush customer, I am going to give this....

3 out of 5! 

The concept is good, however the lack of moisture after use is a big down fall for me. Also for the price of the product (over £5) for what is basically flavored sugar, I believe it is over priced, especially with the added cost of buying lip balm to apply afterwards, it starts adding up! 

But with that said; for people who have particularly dry, chapped skin on their lips I would recommend using it to smooth them out for a perfect pout! 

I hope this is beneficial for you!


lots of love as always
