This is a purchase that I've intended to make for a long time, but wasn't completely desperate; I'd either spend the money on something else or I'd just simply forget about it! However a Lush Lip Scrub has finally made its way into my life after I realised lip balm just wasn't enough to tackle my constantly dry lips. I chose the flavour Mint Julips, which comes in a 25g pot and costs £5.50.
According to the world wide web, Mint Julip is the name of an alcohol drink combining bourbon, water, sugar and mint. There's no bourbon in the Mint Julips Lib Scrub, however you do have sugar granules for the scrub, mixed with Peppermint Oil, organic Jojoba Oil, Tagetes Oil and Vanilla Extract. Lush describe it as "mint chocolate (without the chip!)".
When I bought the Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub, I remember thinking that the price seemed quite high for such a small pot. However now I've been using it almost daily for about a month and barely made a dent in the top I've realised that it's actually pretty good value, because it's going to last for ages! You really don't need a lot of product to give the lips a good exfoliate; you can feel the sugar buffing the dryness away without feeling harsh or irritating. Plus if there's any left on the lips when you're done, you can simply eat it - no waste! The Mint Julips scent and flavour is sweet yet refreshing, though I wouldn't say it's very chocolate orientated. This scrub has been my lip saviour since I bought it; in conjunction with a balm, the flaky, dry patches are staying away and my lips are softer and more nourished.

Are you a fan of any of the Lush lip scrubs?
I've always wanted to try one of their lip scrubs as well, but like you always thought they seemed expensive. I got the santas lip scrub for Christmas and I'm a convert! I agree, a little pot will last for ages x
ReplyDeleteI think it's one of those Lush products that you don't realise what you've missed until you try it! xx
DeleteI have this one and it's so tasty haha! It works really well and genuinely lasts FOREVER.

I'll definitely get my money's worth then if it lasts that long ;-) xx
DeleteI have the pink one, whatever scent it is (bubble gum possibly) and I absolutely love it! Unfortunately I have put it in a very safe place and can't remember exactly where that is, so I haven't seen it in a while. This one sounds delicious!

I think the pink one is Bubblegum - I did look at that one but it was just a touch too sweet for me. Oh no, I hope you find it!! xx
DeleteI've got the bubblegum flavour and it is my absolute life savour in winter!

I'm so glad I bought it, it's been my saviour too! xx
DeleteI used a Lush lip scrub before and really liked it, since I lost it though I haven't used one since. I really should repurchase!

It's such an essential! I have made my own before but it didn't taste as good as this one! :-) xx
DeleteI looooove this lip scrub <3 I totally agree, I've had this month and I think I'm only a 1/3 of the way down the pot? Team it up with a thick lip balm and you'll have amazing lips :)

I think I just need the Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm to go with it now ;-) xxx
DeleteI've always thought it was too expensive but it seems worth the money! x

I thought the same as you, but this is going to last me such a long time! I've definitely changed my mind xx
DeleteI haven't tried this one but I have the Popcorn flavour from Lush on the go and it honestly lasts forever! x
ReplyDeleteEvelyn @ We Were Raised By Wolves
That's good to hear, it's definitely been a worthwhile investment! xx
DeleteThanks for review. I've been meaning to try a Lush lip scrub for a while and this one appealed to me the most. I'll definitely pick this up next time I'm near a Lush! I've just started following you on Bloglovin too :-)

You're welcome, glad it helped you make a decision on whether to pick one up :-) Thank you so much for following! xx
DeleteI have the Popcorn lip scrub - love it and still have loads of it left - it'll last for ages! xx
ReplyDeleteYou hardly need any at all do you, it's great! xx
DeleteBeen wondering if this would be worth trying to see if it could sort my lipstick repellant lips out! Definitely going to be popping in to Lush now. xx
ReplyDeleteThis and a balm should really help when it comes to applying lipsticks and other products that aren't so hydrating xx
DeleteI'm a big fan of this. I love using it with Nuxe's Reve de Miel lip balm as it leaves me with a lovely minty tingle on my lips. I have also tried the popcorn one but I think this just pips popcorn x
ReplyDeleteBecky @ The Little Blog of Beauty
I'm going to have to get the Nuxe lip balm, I just keep delaying the purchase as I have so many others to use! xx
DeleteI absolutely loved the bubblegum lip scrub I recently got the santa lip scrub and its so dry and hard had to put some almond oil in it for a decent consistency xx
ReplyDeleteHmmm that doesn't seem right! xx
DeleteI've tried and absolutely adore Mint Julips lip scrub as well! :) Check out my review on it too?
