Review: Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum


I've been meaning to do a review of this product for a while now, but I kept putting it off... to give it 'another' chance.

I received this as a gift last Christmas ( yes it's been a whole year) and when I saw what it was I thought " oh wow I've needed something like this for ages", as my lips tend to get dry and flakey very easily.
It smells just as you expect it to, like bubblegum, but with a slight soapy hint which I found off putting.
The first few times you use the scrub it works very well, you put a little on your lips and rub away, lick your lips and voila! soft again, but the joy does not last very long.
The lip sugar doesn't cling to your finger like it did when you first opened it so you have to scoop the grains up with two fingers and the bubblegum ends up tasting like tacky perfume (or parma violets).

My overall view of this product is if your looking for a good quality and long lasting lip scrub look elsewhere. One word springs to mind, gimmick!
