Lush products for some reason never seem to
suit me. I love the fact that they are natural, vegan, hand-made and cruelty
free but the products in itself don’t do me any good. Having said that, i
cannot stop myself from entering their store. There is something about their
store, the black tub packaging, the colourful products on display that draws me
towards them and of-course i do not come out empty handed.
On my most recent visit, the Mint Julips
lip scrub caught my fancy!!
Packaging
The lip scrub come in a small hard glass pot. Being a tub
packaging you need to dip your fingers into the tub which can be unhygienic.
But since the prouct itself is rough and grainy i cant think of any other kind
of packaging that would be suitable.... so i am not complaining about it in
particular. The list of ingredients are clearly mentioned on the tub... thumbs
up for that J
Product
The scrub is sugar based and the granules
are perfect in size. So many times i have used sugar based scrubs where the
granules are so large that they end up scratching you or so fine that they
nothing in terms of sloughing off the dead skin. LUSH Mint Julips, however are
perfect. The scrub also contains jojoba oil, Vanilla extract, Peppermint oil
etc. As soon as you open the pot, the
aroma of peppermint oil and vanilla essence hits you...... which i love because
im a fan of both.
Application
Scrubbing with this baby is a cakewalk. The
oils and the sugar have been mixed in good proportions. The oil is just enough
to bind the sugar together onto the lips. I rub the scrub onto my lips for
around 2 minutes and wash off. *LUSH instructs you to lick off the excess scrub
after buffing your lips but the thought of licking my dead skin didn’t settle
with me well..... ewwwww!!
After the routine i top it up with a lip
balm to seal in the moisture and Voila!!... SERIOUSLY SOFT BABY LIPS!! I love
the fact that lipsticks look so much better after scrubbing the lips. They even
tend to stay on better.
So if you have dry, rough, chapped lips
like mine then do them a favour and get the Lush Mint Julips.
Highly recommended!!!!
Nice review, would give it a try :)
