Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Hello! I'm a complete Lush fanatic. I can't get enough of their products and am starting to develop a small hoard. So rather than bore all my poor friends and family to death with my ranting about the sheer awesomeness of Lush (I do talk about Lush a rather unhealthy amount) I have decided to vent my passion online and join the blogging community by reviewing products and maybe even offering a bit of advice.

I thought I'd start with a quick, cheeky post on the Bubblegum Lip Scrub, a favourite of mine.

This product has been out for a while now and to be honest I put off buying it for far too long. I was terrified of anything slightly exfoliating because the idea of scrubbing away skin left me weak at the knees. Ugh. I have very dry skin and I was convinced any sort of exfoliator would rob me of essential oils that my skin so desperately needed. It was all psychological - the concept freaked me out so I avoided it at all costs. I also though the idea of a lip scrub was slightly ridiculous and I thought it would be a waste of time and wouldn't do anything for me.

However, a good scrub now and again helps to get rid of dead skin and leaves you feeling super smooth. If only I'd realised this before! Lush's Bubblegum lip scrub is fabulous at keeping chapped lips at bay and smoothing them out. I couldn't have possibly imagined how successful this would be. You just dab a little bit on the end of your finger (you don't need much) and gently rub it all over your lips. Once you're satisfied you can simply lick it all off. The ingredients is essentially just Castor sugar and Jojoba oil - perfectly edible! It tastes lovely and sweet.

The smell is really similar to Snow Fairy, which is one of my favourite scents. It smells of candyfloss, sweet shops and bubblegum. Truly scrumptious. In the pot the sugar crystals catch the light and it just looks like a cute, little pot of pink sparkles!

My only criticisms are that the smell can be a little sickly after a while, but then that's my fault for sniffing it constantly. Also, be careful that there isn't any sugar left around your lips the I-just-ate-a-super-sugary-doughnut look isn't always so great.

I absolutely love this product will be purchasing again and hopefully trying out the other flavours: Popcorn and Mint Julips. Even though it may seem quite pricey at £5.25 it does last ages as you only need a teeny tiny amount!

Has anyone else tried the Lush lip scrubs?

Much love, Jas xXx
