Sugar Scrubbed Lips
"Look how rough and dry your
lips are; and you’re going out like that” were the kind words of my mother
about 3 months ago…….this was despite me using Carmex on a regular basis. Just
as well I was going to Lush Cosmetics to pick up a present for a friend,
because I also purchased Lush’s Lip Scrub in Mint Julips (mint chocolate).
Lush Cosmetics specialise in
making fresh, handmade beauty products. With the exception of their liquid products,
all cosmetics are preservative free.
The Lip Scrub is made up of
the following ingredients:
Caster Sugar
Organic Jojoba Oil
Vanilla Extract
Tagetes Oil
Peppermint Oil
Limonene (which occurs
naturally in essential oils)
The Lip Scrub has been very
beneficial; I only need a small amount of the scrub to get rid of the roughness
on my lips. After use my lips feel smooth and soft; I feel that my lip balm is a
lot more effective after using the scrub.
The Lip Scrub smells so nice;
the mixture of the vanilla and peppermint is a delightful smell. It also tastes
nice as well! As it is made of caster sugar, after I have finished buffing my
lips, I can simply lick it off! However I recommend applying the sugar scrub
with a mirror because you may not be able to lick all of the sugar and could
end up looking like you got into a war with a sugar doughnut…….
The Lush Lip Scrub costs about
£4 - £5, which is not too bad considering it is handmade and I haven’t needed
to use it every day. In fact I am still using the same scrub I bought 3 months
ago and it is not even half way.
However, the ingredients are
simple to purchase and you can even make your own scrub. In fact Yolandaas, of
Pink and Leopard Prints has done a post on making your own scrub. You can check
it out here.
Have you used Lush Cosmetics’

The
weekend is nearly over……boo! It’s colder than of late, but at least the sun is
shining :¬)
It’s the first time I’ve purchased anything from Lush Cosmetics. With the Easter Break impending, I hope to take time some time to test out my new purchases.
On
Saturday, I went to Lush Cosmetics (Westfield Stratford City) to buy my friend a gift for her birthday. For
anyone who hasn’t heard of Lush Cosmetics, they basically specialise in fresh handmade
cosmetics – all their stuff smells lovely!
I
bought the Hello Gorgeous! Gift Box for her:

couple of items for myself……..

| Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar Source |
I
was like a magpie in the shop – I was attracted by the shiny pretty things!
The
Sunnyside Bubble Bar is to be used bit by bit – you crumble some under running
water and it foams like bubble bath. The sales assistant said it would be like
having a liquid gold bath.
The
Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar has cocoa butter and shea butter; two of my favourite
and essential body ingredients. The Bar is supposed to be warned up in your
hands and when you massage it on your body, it leaves a subtle glitter/shimmer
on your body. It’s ideal for nights out and the Summer. Oh and it smells
delicious!
It’s the first time I’ve purchased anything from Lush Cosmetics. With the Easter Break impending, I hope to take time some time to test out my new purchases.
