I’ve these lip scrubs for a few weeks and have only got round to a review now!
Being not one to do things by halves I ordered all six flavours!
Cinnamon Sugar – a sweet, cinnamony thick dark brown sugar paste:
Peppermint – white sugar:
Cocoa – Chocolatey good:
Vanilla Bean:
Almond Creme:
Brown Sugar:
Instructions:
So basically this is a lip exfoliator. It’s main exfoliating component is good old sugar. There’s tons of product in each of these jars and the paste is very thick.
I have a few lip scrubs but I have never found them scrubby enough. I like something with some tough exfoliating power and Sarah Happ has that.
I opened Cinnamon Sugar – I just love Cinnamon!
I got a dollop of this then worked it into my lips for a while. It felt gritty, then I wiped (and licked it off a bit) and my lips were fresher and softer but on the downside, a bit sticky and sort of….dry. Le Mer lip balm to the rescue.
The product is not without its faults. Let’s get real for a second – the main ingredient is SUGAR. Each one of these pots cost £20. Yes it’s pretty and it’s a lovely gift for a girlfriend as it comes in a gorgeous box and pot. And I think it will last but…£20. For a tub of sugar.
I mentioned a few posts ago I was once a soaper – made the real thing with fats and lye, but I also picked up how to make things like face creams (quite tricky) and lip balms. I think it would be quite straight forward to make a balm base then incorporate some sugar into it to make it into a scrub. It wouldn’t keep as well as this, but still it would cost a lot less. You could also use other grainy things like….er…..erm…..grit….sand….maldon sea salt….
God knows why I bought all six flavours – because I’m stoopid?
Anyway I have already opened cinnamon and I think I will keep pepperming but if you are interested in any of the other flavours drop me an email. They are brand new, sealed, boxed, ribboned for £14.00 each, (£20 rrp) plus £2.30 shipping in the UK recorded, £3.30* shipping international.
*This is not recorded. Recorded international shipping is £6. I sent a lipgloss, ONE poxy lipgloss to the US cost me £5.60 last week. No joke. So if you want recorded it will be £6

Those look sooo good. What are scrubs supposed to do? Too bad they’re so expensive.

Hey Abby
Scrubs are supposed to remove all the dead skin from the lips and leave them soft and moisturized!
