LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub!

Ahhh the Canadian winter. Every year, it wreaks havoc on my skin. My hands crack, my skin flakes, and my lips peel. It never fails.

Using my trusty Nuxe Reve de Miel isn't always enough to soften my chapped lips.  While the Reve de Miel is great for moisturizing my lips, it does nothing in terms of taking care of the leftover dry skin. This is where LUSH's Mint Julips Lip Scrub kicks in. I apply this softly on my lips on nights where my lips feel particularly chapped, and rub it in softly to help loosen dead skin.

I'm not sure if this is just me, but I find the formula of this a bit dry, and messy. The sugar doesn't quite stay on the lips while I'm trying to rub it in, and I don't find there is enough oil. Nevertheless, the scent (mint/chocolate) is pleasant, and I do like using it. I didn't find it was too expensive either at $10. Plus, it does leave my lips quite soft and makes any lip balm work like a dream after usage.



Do you use lip scrubs? If so, which ones? Do you find they are useful?

  3. I've wanted to try Lush lip scrubs for a while, including their popcorn flavored one. It's too bad this didn't work out for you because it sounds yummy.
