Sweet Talk Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Today I am going to be reviewing the Sweet Talk Lip Scrub from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line. I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips, and most are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.

As well as caster sugar, the Sweet Talk lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, sweet wild orange oil, rose oil, vanilla absolute and cold pressed raspberry seed oil.

Sweet Talk isn’t the first lip scrub to be made by Lush with this scent/flavour either. Back in 2017 a blue version of it was made and named the Lush Puppy lip scrub.

Sweet Talk lip scrub may smell and taste almost identical to Lush Puppy it is however bright pink, allowing it to fit right into the theme of Valentine’s Day. I always thought it was a crime for Lush to not make the Lush Puppy lip scrub more readily available so when I found out Sweet Talk was so similar I was over the moon.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of Sweet Talk does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry. Some taste better than others but I don’t mind licking off Sweet Scrub after I’ve used it.

I tend to favour the lighter or more natural toactual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes leave your lips with a slight tint of whatever colour the lip scrub is. I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from the Sweet Talk lip scrub at all. Not that, that would be a huge problem though as it is pink.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of super sweet Lush products, I do actually like the smell/taste of the Sweet Talk lip scrub. It’s not the same, sickly-sweet as the Bubblegum lip scrub (and much like the Lush Puppy version of this same lip scrub) it really reminds me of the raspberry flavoured Slush Puppy drink.

A little amount of Sweet Talk goes a long way and it’s the perfect amount of scrubby. The grains in it are about the same size of sugar granules (unlike the Cookie Dough lip scrub that’s texture is more like fine salt).

After using the Sweet Talk lip scrub my lips feel smoother and I also find the formula quite hydrating which isn’t the case for a lot of Lush’s lip scrubs.

Overall, I love the Sweet Talk lip scrub, I’d love to see Lush bring back the lip balm equivalent (Passion Fruit lip balm) or make a lip butter in its scent in the near future!

Gingerbread Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating.

It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever chose to use (the now illegal) micro-plastics over sugar in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated and today I am going to be reviewing the Gingerbread Lip Scrub from Lush’s 2023, Christmas line.

I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips and are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time.

Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and with all thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.

The Gingerbread lip scrub is brand new to Lush this year and packed full of gingerbread-baking-ingredients.

As well as caster sugar, the Gingerbread lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, granulated sugar, fair trade shea butter, fine sea salt, bergamot oil, cinnamon leaf oil, carob resinoid, ginger oil, benzoin resinoid and cocoa powder.

To use, simply scoop out a little amount of the lip scrub onto your finger and gently buff your lips with it. You can then wipe off the excess.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of it does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.

The Gingerbread lip scrub is a similar colour to brown sugar.

Ordinarily, I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes (after use) leave your lips with a slight tinge of whatever colour the lip scrub is.

With the Gingerbread lip scrub being a more natural colour, I am pleased to report that I didn’t get this problem.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of the Lush products that are super sweet, I find that the Gingerbread lip scrub is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy.

It tastes and smells more or less the same as a gingerbread cookie but it also reminds me of carrot cake too.

If I had to choose a favourite out of the new 2023 lip scrub releases the Gingerbread lip scrub would be in my top 3.

A small amount of it goes a long way as it’s such a fine and scrubby formula. My lips feel smoother with little to no effort, and I also find the formula very hydrating.

I do however recommend a quick dab of lip balm after using lip scrubs, especially in the Winter just to add an extra layer of hydration.

I think it’s safe to say that I love the Gingerbread lip scrub; It exfoliates and hydrates your lips perfectly and tastes and smells incredible too.

Lush, If you read this, we need a lip balm in this same scent for next Christmas please!

Candy Corn Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use (the now illegal) micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed (which ever one you choose to go with!) Luckily for us, Lush have released not 1, but 2 new lip scrubs for Halloween 2023!

Today I am going to be reviewing the Candy Corn Lip Scrub. I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips and are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and with all thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.

As well as caster sugar, the Candy Corn lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, Brazilian orange oil, rose oil, benzoin resinoid, sesame seed absolute, fir balsam resinoid and paprika oleoresin.

Unlike the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub (the other lip scrub from the 2023 Halloween line) Candy Corn is a brand-new Lush scent that hasn’t featured in any other Lush product before now.

The one question I have been asked over and over about the Candy Corn lip scrub is whether it smells and tastes like the sugary sweet of the same name, Candy Corn. I have personally never tried the sweet so I can’t say for sure. I have however heard others say they are very alike.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of it does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.

The Candy Corn lip scrub is a gloriously bright shade of orange. Ordinarily, I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes (after use) leave your lips with a slight tinge of whatever colour the lip scrub is. I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from the Candy Corn lip scrub at all.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of the Lush products that are super sweet, I do actually like the smell/taste of the Candy Corn lip scrub. It isn’t as sweet as I feared, in fact, the most dominant ingredient in it scent/taste wise is probably the Brazilian orange oil.

If I had to choose a favourite out of the 2 Halloween 2023 Lush lip scrubs, I’d pick the Candy Corn lip scrub. A little amount of it goes a long way, my lips feel smoother with little to no effort, and I also find the formula quite hydrating. I do recommend a quick dab of lip balm after using it though, just to add an extra layer of hydration.

Overall, I love the Candy Corn lip scrub, when you use lip scrubs as much as I do it’s very easy to grow bored of one scent/taste so new ones make things a little less boring. With the Candy Corn lip scrub being so orange-led I could actually see it working well as a Summer product too!
