I do suffer from dry lips so I had an excuse to purchase Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub even though the real reason I just had to have it was because it's yummy and pink and tastes like candy floss!
In all seriousness, this lip scrub is a beauty saviour. It's made from castor sugar which acts as a gentle scrub to clear dead skin and flakiness away from the lips. Just about the only other ingredient, apart from flavour and colouring, is jojoba oil which provides a gorgeously light and natural moisturisation for smooth kissable lips that are not at all greasy.
It comes packed into a small glass jar which makes it feel more premium than the average Lush product and a treat to slip into your makeup case or clutch. Simply dip in a clean finger and scoop up a healthy amount of the sugary scrub and apply directly to your lips. I never worry about getting too much as it's the perfect case of more is more! Work in and massage it all over your smackers and enjoy the instant feeling of silky smoothness it brings. The best part of all is that you can then lick your lips clean and enjoy the excess! I of course wouldn't recommend eating the scrub, but as it is largely castor sugar it is edible and totally safe to consume. It enhances the experience for me to be able to literally lick my lips rather than wipe off a product that's oily, medicinal or tangy to taste. I also think it has the added bonus of a mini breath refresher. I can't believe anybody wouldn't like the taste as it's the most divine sugary sweet flavour, like candy floss or bubblegum as it says on the tin! Have a try in store as I suppose I can understand that it may be a little sickly or overpowering for some. It also comes in Popcorn and Mint Julips, but I'm personally not a fan of either. The Popcorn flavour made me want to rinse my mouth and lips as it tastes super salty whereas the mint felt too powerful like a mouthwash!
The texture is literally like a coarse-grain sugar and has a crystalised effect. I would certainly admit to being someone who didn't pay enough attention to my lips so this is a great product to get you into a healthy little routine. I tend to apply it at night before a rich lip butter so my lips can enjoy a night of beauty sleep and deep moisturisation. It is the perfect base for lipstick though and great before an event. It will ensure no flakes or dry patches remain and, I believe, enhances the shine and quality of your lipstick, which looks much better when applied to cared for lips.
I have had my pot for a good 6 months and I barely seem to have used much at all - despite my generous scoops! It is only £5.25 for 25g and will bring you months of beautiful lips - all without a single preservative and no harm to animals. It's 100% vegan and cruelty-free - delicious!
Top tip: Finish off by rubbing your top and bottom lips together to really get the grains exfoliating after massaging in with your finger
Now all you have to do is find somebody equally as beautiful to kiss so as not to waste a perfect pout!
