I love lipstick. Never get the chance to try out matte or nude lipstick as my lips are super dry. When my lips is dry of course there’s dead skin peeling too. I never like my lips condition. If you remembered previously I bought a set of Paul & Joe makeup set which a rather “drying” lipstick is included. The colour is gorgeous but it’s just too dry. Dry lips + dry lipstick = disaster. So I googled around to find a lip scrub (I never knew it existed anywhere) and found some good review for . . . hang on . . . The Body Shop! And in all the reviews there’s a note on the high price as well. Shoot.

I bought one end of October. It’s called The Body Shop Lipscuff.

This lip scrub contains 3 main ingredients namely Marula Oil, Organic Beeswax and Crushed Fig Stone Granules. Marula Oil is a very effective moisturiser that also helps to condition the skin over time. Also provides essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness. Organic Beeswax moisturises and helps to condition the skin. It also acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture and helps to keep product texture consistent when used over time. Crushed fig stone granules on the other hand help to gently remove dead skin cells.

A moisturising lip care product that gently exfoliates the lips to help remove dead skin cells, leaving the lips feeling smooth, soft and conditioned which evens the surface of the skin to better absorb Lip Colour, making it last for longer. Dermatologically tested.

I was told that I can use this everyday and I did. Everyday after I applied all my skincare, I scrub my lips while waiting for all the skincare to set in before applying makeup.

As the tube is similar with a lipstick, I simply just apply in circular motion as this is “scrubbing” motion as well.

Then I use my index finger to scrub in circular motion.

On a good day my lips seems better and smoother after using. On a bad day which is most of the day this is not working a bit. The dry peeling skin is still on my lips and my lipstick doesn’t glide on smoothly. Sometimes I woke up with a surprisingly good conditioned lips and scrubbing with this is not needed at all.

I would not repurchase this unless I couldn’t find anything else out there. Anyway here’s a picture of a 50% good day. 50% as in lips are still dry but I can still apply my “dry” lipstick.

Up next – a new found lip scrub. Is it better than The Body Shop Lipscuff?
