Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe 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. 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 Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe 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 great. 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, anytime, anywhere.

As well as caster sugar, the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, fair trade shea butter, organic cold pressed grapeseed oil and sweet wild orange oil. If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while, you may be hit by a wave of déjà vu when using the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub as before now, Lush released a purple version of it called the Sugar Plum Fairy lip scrub.

You aren’t wrong if you also recognise the lip scrubs scent from another popular Lush product as it’s the same scent as the, The Comforter bubble bar too! Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe tastes just as good as it smells; It’s obviously not meant to be eaten but if a little does end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips with it you don’t need to worry.

The Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub is bright blue. 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.

The biggest culprit of lip-scrub-colour-transfer in my opinion is Lush’s Galaxy lip scrub which happens to be very similar in colour to Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe. I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe AT ALL.

The only negative thing about the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub is that it’s not as hydrating as I have found other Lush lip scrubs. This minor inconvenience is however soon solved with a quick dab of lip balm.

Overall, I really like the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub, although… I’d have preferred it to have been made into a brand-new scent entirely. After the Sugar Plum Fairy lip scrub (as nice as Wednesday’s Child is) we didn’t really need another lip scrub with the same scent.
