Confession: I mostly like this because it tastes so good. I'm not even lying. It works pretty well as a lip scrub too, but the smell and taste of this are both delicious! Which makes me incredibly sad to inform you that it has since been discontinued. I bought mine late last year and am about half way through, and after that I will be forced to choose a different 'flavour'.
This one is the Vanilla and Chocolate one and it is divine. As a lip scrub, it is great, it really feels like it is working, and gets the pesky bits of dry skin off my lips, but I would say it is gentle enough that you can use it every day, or at least every other day. I tend to use it most days, because my lips get quite dry, especially in the winter, but I ALWAYS exfoliate my lips before I wear red lipstick. Not to do so is one of the cardinal sins of beauty. Alright that might have been a bit dramatic, but it really is a good idea to exfoliate your lips before applying any dark shade of lipstick.
In Australia, LUSH Lip Scrubs retail for $9.95, which I think is well worth it, as it can be difficult to find inexpensive lip scrubs here.
The only downside is, as LUSH products are 'fresh', it has an expiry date. Mine is due to expire in about a month, and I probably won't be able to use up the remainder in that time. However, I was chatting to one of the lovely ladies in the LUSH shop not long ago, and she said that the expiry date is only an approximation. So if you still have another month's worth of uses after the stated expiry date, don't go throwing it out, its not suddenly going to go off as soon as it hits that date, and you can probably get away with using it up. Her advice was to bin it after a couple of months though, as they might start going a bit yucky.
As I said, the Vanilla and Chocolate flavour has been discontinued, but I think the Mint Julips one is quite nice too, and this is probably the one that I will purchase next.
