Lush Santa's Lip Scrub Review

Hey beaut's!

You may have seen that I recently popped into Lush and stocked up on a few Christmassy bits (haul here) and something that I couldn't wait to get my hands on was Santa's Lip Scrub. I had run out of my trusty Bubblegum Lip Scrub a while back, and with the cold winter weather approaching I knew I'd need to restock asap as my lips always need some extra TLC at this time of the year and after smelling Santa's Lip Scrub it literally went straight into my basket.

Santa's Lip Scrub (£5.50) is made up from a generous helping of caster sugar that has cute little red love hearts running through it and acts as a gentle scrub getting rid of any flaky, rough skin on and around your lips, the scrub also contains jojoba oil and extra virgin coconut oil which help soften and moisturise your lips leaving them feeling super soft. The scent of the scrub itself is divine, it smells just like cola with a slight hint of cherry which is just so scrummy and tastes amazing when I lick it off, yup that right beaut's the scrub is completely edible, even the little love hearts he he.

To use Santa's Lip Scrub all I do is simply pop as much or as little of the scrub as I want onto my finger and then gently scrub and buff away until my lips are soft and flake free and then I simply lick off the excess. The scrub works so well at moisturising and leaves you with a fantastic smooth base to apply your lip balm or lipstick on.

All in all I absolutely love this lip scrub, it looks so cute and festive, tastes and smells amazing and is super nourishing too, I've actually found it to be quite addictive, I literally want to use it all the time he he. If your after a new lip scrub and this tickles your fancy I'd hop-foot it down to Lush now beaut's because it's limited edition and only available to buy until Christmas, so stock up whilst you can, it would also make a great stocking filler too.  

Have you tried Santa's Lip Scrub beaut's? What did you think? I'd love to know.

Maybelline Baby Lips UK | Review

Top to bottom, Cherry Me, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss. They all swatch quite pigmented but apply more sheer. 

Hey girlie's!!!

Finally Maybelline's Baby Lips have touched down in the UK, i know they're well loved in the US so its nice to finally try them out and see what all the hype is about. As far as i know the 'Baby Lips' are just available in Superdrug and Boots at the moment and priced at £2.99 each although they are 3 for 2 at the moment in both stores but that will only be for a limited time. So far in the UK Maybelline have launched 6 lovelies to choose from, three of which are untinted with an SPF of 20 which are called Hydrate, Intense Care and Mint Fresh which all apply clear just like your standard lip balm. The other three are all ever so slightly tinted which are Cherry Me, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss, they all also leave you with a slight glossy finish to the lips. 

Cherry Me

This is the favourite of the bunch for me, its a gorgeous bright red colour in the bullet but once applied it gives a nice sheer raspberry red tint to the lips. It smells gorgeous, just like the cherry drops sweets i used to love when i was little although when it on the lips you cant taste of smell that what so ever.

Pink Punch

Pink punch looks like a vibrant bright pink shade in the bullet but when applied its a light pink colour with a nice passion fruit scent, it really reminds me of a Tropicana drink but i don't know which one ha ha.

Peach Kiss

This is least favourite out of the bunch, i actually don't like this one at all really which is a shame. Its a very sheer nude shade with very fine shimmers running through it but if I'm honest once this shade is applied on the lips its hardly visible at all, where as with the others the tint is visible. Also its peach scented which i dislike as I'm not a lover of peach scents which puts me off slightly. 

After using these for a good few days i do like them but i honestly cant see that much of a difference between these and your standard lip balm, putting the slight tint aside these really aren't much different to the Nivea balms for instance. As for the packaging.... It is cute and very eye catching and easy to fit into your makeup bag or handbag. I would highly recommend picking up 'Cherry Me' as i bloomin love it and can definitely see myself repurchasing that one over and over.

Have you tried any of the Baby Lips yet??? Whats your favourite???
