Straight into the bin

I’m not sure if I received a dud product or what happened, but it was extremely hard and scratchy on my lips, I couldn’t get it to work at all. Smell was nonexistent too, doesn’t taste great, this needs to be washed off, so it’s not really for on the go exfoliation. I have chucked it in the bin without a second thought and I usually hate wasting products, I usually try to find an alternative way to use things up, but I didn’t mind throwing this out. Luckily I’ve bought it pretty cheap from iherb, so not a lot of money wasted.

Not as great as I imagined

I have the 'grapefruit' flavour one, picturing it smelling fruity and summer fresh...but it smells like nothing. I wished I got the brown sugar one instead! It is easy enough to use, but I feel like I have to really push it into my lips to exfoliate. It does leave my lips feeling nice - but I can get that from other products with a better user experience. Will continue to use, cause I don't like being wasteful but won't buy again

Meh

I was really surprised by the great reviews on this product after trying it for myself. Maybe mine came from a bad batch? I used it for a couple of months and at first I really like it and felt like it was makin a difference to the smoothness of my lips. But as time went on, I felt it just got really messy. I would get bits of sugar all through my mouth because it would come off in chunks. Super gross and messy. I wouldn't purchase it again based of this experience

Tips: Maybe try keeping it in the fridge to avoid problems like mine

Not in love

I bought this product because I've caught the 'elf bug' after watching and reading so many different reviews on all of their other products. This was more of a miss than a hit for me. It was initially very solid- I thought when it warmed up, it would improve.

It didn't.

It went from feeling like a concrete block-style exfoliator, to collapsing in the tube into mush and getting into the bullet mechanism of the lipstick.

When you actually get it onto the lips, it works pretty well, but then you have to remove it, and it doesn't taste great either. I have others I far prefer. It may be intended for an on-the-go exfoliate, but I don't know a) who does exfoliate their lips on-the-go? And b) who would want an on-the-go exfoliator that collapses into it's packaging and becomes essentially useless after a couple of tries.

I'll stick with my much tastier and only slightly more expensive alternatives thanks!

Very sticky

Good exfoliation for lips. Not really great if you don’t like sticky stuff on your lips. But it works well.

A bit rough for me...

I was very excited to try this product as I always suffer from dry, cracked lips that look awful under lipstick.

First impressions were great. It came in a lovely black lipstick case and when you opened it, it had a beautiful shape and looked like it was carved from solid brown sugar. Sniffing it, it smelt of caramel and sugar and all sorts of delicious things you'd love to eat.

But this is where the love ended for me. I started rubbing it across my lips and after the initial few seconds of thinking 'this tastes amazing', I then realised that all I could taste was blood and all I could feel was stinging. I'd manage to successfully rip my lips to shreds with the exfoliant and do quite a bit of damage.

Two weeks later, having healed and been ready to give it another try, I reassessed my technique and very, very gently started rubbing it across my lips. But no, the stinging and bleeding began again. I've tried it a few times since then but unfortunately I've had to come to accept that the formula is just too rough for my delicate lips. I really want to love this product, but sadly it's not for me.

Tips: Be gentle!! Start off just lightly rubbing it across your lips and seeing if the formula is right for you.

The way you describe this made me cringe, I bet it was painful! You poor thing. Hopefully your lips don't bleed if you ever try this again :)

not a fan...

While this product does exfoliate your lips and makes them feel very soft, I personally found that it hurt my lips and made them bleed on one occasion. Mixed feelings about this one.

A great price

I originally purchased this as it reminded me of the one the Body Shop used to sell (I can’t remember the name) which I loved as it was so easy to use. This product comes in a sturdy black lipstick tube and can be used whenever your lips need some exfoliation. It is definitely easy to use and smells quite nice, almost like maple syrup but I would probably not purchase this again. I have found that I really have to push down hard on my lips and then the product breaks off. I’ve also made my lips bleed while trying to get the chapped skin off as the granules are very big but not overly even. You need to rinse it off your lips after use which was actually quite messy to do as it literally sticks to the lips so you need a flannel to remove it. For the price it is a decent lip scrub but I personally think it’s worth paying a little more and buying a decent one or even making your own.

Not Up To The Usual Elf Standard

I absolutly love Elf products! The quality of their products along with their affordable price tags puts them high on my makeup must haves list... but they really dropped the ball with this product.

It doesnt smell nice at all and is so soild, I really struggled to get any to transfer onto my lips. Because of that I wasnt able to exfoliate any dry skin from my lips. Yes it does have an attractivce price tag. But the cheap pricing is irrelevant when the product does not work as it is described to.

All though this product will not be a repurchase for me, it has still not put me off srocking my makeup kir with all of the other fantastic products that Elf make!

You get what you pay for

This is an extremely affordable product, which, to be fair, does what it says it is going to do. I can say that it did remove the dead skin from my lips, and overall leave them feeling smoother. It works well before lipstick to prep lips.

However, the formula is very solid, and hard to use. I had to really warm it up before I actually managed to get product transfer to my lips. The taste isn't great, and you do need to either wash or lick off the excess product once the exfoliation process is done, as it isn't absorbed.

It's not a bad product, and it's good value, but if you want something top quality, try looking elsewhere.

Tips: Apply before lipstick
