Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub



Contents: 25g
Price: HKD89.00


According to Lush's webpage:

Candy-floss flavored sugar
Scrub your lips smooth with our sweetest confection. Bubblegum is our ode to all things pink, girly and sugary. A blend of exfoliating Fair Trade sugar and moisturizing castor oil, this lip scrub is sure to leave your lips enticingly soft and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time! For a flawless pout, scrub Bubblegum over your lips (be sure to lick off the excess) and then apply your favorite lip color.

Ingredients: Castor Sugar , Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) , Flavor , Aurora Pink (Polyester-3, D&C Red No. 28, D&C Red No. 21).

My Opinion:
I've been using The Body Shop Lipcuff  to exfoliate my lips for several years, but got tired of it and wanted to try something new.

I'm aware that this product comes in several different flavors, but bubblegum was the only flavor available at my local Lush store, and honestly I found the scent to be very artificial and didn't really like it.

This is basically just scented sugar, it does exfoliates, but I do not think it's worth 80 bucks.

Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Lip Concealer






Shade: 01
Contents: 3.5g
Price: HKD52

My Opinion:
I've got really pigmented lips, and was never able to wear nudes or light pink, but since I've discovered this little gem, I've finally got the chance to see the real colors of the lippies on my lips.
Apart from evening out the natural colors of my lips, this concealer is actually very moisturing, and it covers some of the lip lines as well. I've checked out the packaging and found out that it has coconut oil and macadamia nut oil listed as ingredients.

顏色: 01
容量: 3.5g
價錢:HKD52

我的意見:
小妹的唇色很深,所以有很多的唇膏顏色也用不到(如深粉紅或祼色),但自從發現了這個寶貝後,現在什麼顏色也可以用。

除了均勻了本身的唇色外,這個產品還非常潤,可以遮蓋到部份唇紋。
