I was watching @TiffanyLD the other day. On Youtube that is, not through a window with binoculars - cos that would be weird.
Anyway - she happened to mention Lush Lip Scrubs in her May faves video. Now, just that day I had been moaning to my gay office husband that the awful air con was making my lips dry and flaky. Yuk. No amount of Body Shop Shea Lip Butter (which I am LOVING btw) was returning them to a plump smooth state. I suddenly realised it might be because there was an underlying problem - I was exfoliating every part of my body except my lips! Well hold the phone! Off I dashed to Lush to get me some treats!
Lush have 3 flavours of Lip Scrub. Bubblegum, the flavour I was originally drawn to, seriously made me want to boke. Pretty in pink though and if you like sickly synthetic bubblegum flavour then this is for you. Then there is Sweet Lips. Oooh I thought, I like the name. But it's vanilla and chocolate flavour. Again, nause. Starting to feel a little like the prince with the slipper - where was my Cinderella? And then I came to Mint Julips. Peppermint and chocolate flavour? At first this sounded vile. But then I remembered I like After Eights so why not? I was sold when the girl behind the counter reminded me the Peppermint oil would make my lips more pouty too.
After my first use I found my lips were smoother and the lip butter was actually able to do it's job and moisturise! A miracle!
So thanks Tiff! Dream lip product and in at under a fiver.
What lip products can you not get enough of?
Until next time.......XO
I LOVE the smell of this. I though I'd want the bubblegum one too, but it was all a bit synthetic.
ReplyDeleteThey did a Sherbet one at christmas which was all lemony and yummy too.
It's worth trying The Body Shop Lipscuff too. Does the same thing but its in a lipbalm type stick, lasts ages and you don't end up with bits of sugar everywhere!
Bxx
oooh the Bodyshop one sounds intriguing! the mess is the only minor downside to this product! Thanks for your comment ) x
ReplyDeleteLOL at Bubblegum 'nearly made me boke'! Just walking past Lush makes me feel this way, but I may have to venture in for some mintyness!

Having sunburnt my lips on holiday (fool!) I am loving Lanolips lemonade. It tastes great and is actually helping get rid of the dryness, everything else I have tried has just sort of sat on my lip rather than sinking in! Its very fresh and zingy smelling/tasting so great if you aren't into super sweet lip stuff, it prob wont make you "boke"!!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get hold of that for AGES! Only one Boots so far in London I have seen stocks Lanolips and Lemonade was sold out. The hunt will continue as it sounds amazing!!
