So I know I may be a teeny tiny (extremely) late on the bandwagon with this one. But in all honesty, I was sceptical about this, I mean £5.50 for a bit of coloured, oily sugar in a pot?! Seems ridiculous right? Well I ended up giving in to the temptation due to my ever peeling lips. Does anyone else have that problem when their lips are super dry and they put on lipstick and end up having it collect up in the chapped-ness of their lips? Nope, well, just me I suppose.

On my first couple of attempts with this, I got sugar everywhere... no exaggerations! so it was slightly hard to lick off. After you've got past the initially really sugary layer, you get to more of an oily layer which is easier to scrub with, since the sugar doesn't fly around and get all over your face.
After I had done it, my lips felt noticeably softer. As smooth as a baby's bum (which is a great time to mention that I used baby lips to moisturise with afterwards), the dry skin was most definitely gone and they were ex-foliated to the best extent. I am literally obsessed with it now and cannot seem to put it down... I even managed to coax my boyfriend and mum into trying it and they both loved it... and had to wrestle it out of my hands to stop me from using it (literally)! The smell of it kind of reminds me of parma violets (a retro English sweet) when it's on your lips, and isn't as sickly as the bright pink colour alludes to. It smelt a lot yummier than the other two flavours that were available in my local Lush store (mint and popcorn) and so is the best vegan lip-scrub on the market.
The only negative (if any) about this lip scrub is that it can get a bit messy and so is probably best not to be used on the go.
So in answer to my title, I believe that this is my new obsession... for the next few weeks at least (until I have eaten it all... because it really is that yum!), perhaps after that I will need to do some more exploration into the realms of lip scrubs. This really is all new territory for me...
Anyway,
I'll talk to you later,
