I've wanted to try a lip scrub ever since reading blog posts about Lush's range of lip scrubs. However I never took the plunge and bought one from Lush as I thought £5.25 was a little expensive for such a small pot. Then I saw on Twitter that Betty Buff, who offer "sweet and sensitive skincare" made from only natural, plant based ingredients, were offering two Betty Bouche lip scrubs for £5.00. (They normally retail at £2.99 each.) This was just too good an offer to pass up! Especially as my lips have got really dry since the weather turned colder.
The two flavours are Strawberry Sauce and Honey Hot Lips and they smell divine! The ingredients are so simple - granulated sugar, shea butter and freeze dried strawberry and honey. If you're a DIYer this is probably something you could make yourself, but I'm just not that great at this sort of thing and I never seem to have much spare time! The scrub is fairly compressed into the tin so you do have to scrape it out and I have lost a bit of sugar out the side of the tin in doing so!
I've been trying to use these scrubs on my lips daily, following it up with my Figs and Rouge Rambling Rose Lip Balm. They're lovely to use and gently exfoliate, melting into your lips. Plus after you can lick it off and eat it! After use my lips look quite plump and feel soft. In the long term, these scrubs (in conjunction with lip balm) have definitely made a difference and I've experienced hardly any dryness since.
The Verdict
I'm really glad that I've added lip scrubs to my skincare collection - and they will definitely remain! I think these Betty Bouche lip scrubs are great value for money and I love the fact that they're so natural. Plus they really do work! My personal favourite is the Strawberry Sauce.

I haven't tried Lush for lip scrubs before but I would say these are definitely scrubby - in a good way :-) xx
DeleteThey sound yummy :-) I'm feeling the need for a lip scrub...
ReplyDeleteThey're worth it!xx
DeleteI agree with you about Lush - they sound so good yet I just can't bring myself to buy one! Also the smell from my local Lush is too overpowering :(
ReplyDeleteGreat post :) I may have to check this brand out on Twitter! I think there is also Heavens a scrub (?!) too?

Thanks, they are on Twitter too! Not heard of Heavens a Scrub?! I'll have a look!xx
DeleteI have these and I love them :) I love my Bubblegum one from Lush, but it dries up so quickly! I've loved using these xo
ReplyDeleteI had a look at the Bubblegum one when I bought a face mask, it smells lush! Shame it dries up so quickly though! No danger of that with these :-) xx
DeleteI think I need to try these. My lips are forever dry, nothing major but I feel that they need constant moisturisation (did I just make that word up!?) and I often have to buff them with a toothbrush. Lip products tend to cling to any dry patches too, which I know happens to everyone but I find it a real pain, as I can't seem to get them nice and smooth and keep them that way!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of strawberry sauce, yum.

If I neglect my lips even for a day they seem to go really dry! I've been putting these by my bedside table to do before bed and so I don't forget. Haha I think moisturisation is a word? :-) xx
DeleteThese seem lovely. I'll have to check them out :)x

Unfortunately I can't compare from experience, but they're fab! No worries, loved the look :-) xx
DeleteThese look really cute in the tins and the products look and sounds as though they are really good too. I've always wanted a lip scrub but refuse to pay for the LUSH one - might give these a go :)

I agree that the Lush one is a bit expensive! I believe these ones are more natural than Lush too! xx
