I bought my little pot of this in the Boxing Day sale in 2014 and have barely made a dent it! As with all Lush products, this has an expiry date. Mine is well past that date now but still looks and tastes fine. You need so little of this stuff that I can't ever imagine running out of it and having to repurchase it.
I only use this occasionally as I don't really suffer from flaky lips. I tend it use it once a week or less as tend to forget I have it. I just rub a wee bit over my lips then rinse off then dry my lips. They still feel moisturised even after its rinsed off. I apply it over the sink as it is quite hard in the pot and the sugar tends to fall out when you apply. Apparently you can lick it off and it does taste delicious - like salted caramel.
This is great to use before long lasting or liquid lipsticks to create a smooth canvas. Use it after cleansing and before applying makeup though as the sugar can stick around your mouth if not rinsed off.
I had read so many good reviews about this product so when I made my first visit to Lush earlier this year I had to buy it! At first I thought it was quite expensive but actually I've used this quite a few times and I've hardly used any, it will last a long time!
I like the little pot that it comes in, its cute but at the same time I find it a tad inconvenient when getting product out. Because there is plenty of product still at the top it spills over & is a bit messy.
It's easy to use, grab some scrub, rub and then either wipe off or lick off - I like the licking off part haha. It smells great and tastes great too, I was hesitant on "eating" it but it clearly states on the pot that its edible.
My lips feel great afterwards, the product is gentle and doesnt hurt at all. But for some reason my lips feel slightly sore the next morning every time I use it . Lip balm fixes that but I do wonder what causes it?!
