I picked up the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish at the Spring Social event last Sunday at Sephora. I’ve been using it every night and have noticed a difference in my lips already!

I prefer this lip scrub over the Lush ones because the scent/flavor is better and because it is more hydrating. I have the Bubblegum and Mint Julips variations of the Lush sugar scrubs but I stopped using them because I didn’t really like the scent anymore. I never liked the Bubblegum & Mint Julips was ok, but it was weird to me to smear chocolate-mint flavor on my lips. The FRESH Lip Scrub is a plain, sweet brown sugar scent; very neutral and clean.

The Lush lip scrubs are more abrasive than the Lip Polish from FRESH. I always felt like they were really getting off the dry flakes, but they seemed to make my lips drier. I’d follow with a nice balm but the next day my lips would be peeling and uncomfortable; it was a horrible cycle. The FRESH Lip Polish is so much better! The sugar pieces seem finer and there are oils built into the scrub. So, I feel like it’s gently buffing away and dry or rough areas while hydrating at the same time.

My lips have been in better condition anyway since I began using the Dior Creme de Rose Balm. But now using the FRESH Lip Polish in conjunction with Creme de Rose, my lips feel soft and amazing. I gently rub the Lip Polish on my lips and then let the sugar sit for a couple of minutes and just wipe it away with a tissue. I then follow with the Creme de Rose as usual and wake up with happy lips.

You don’t have to use the Lip Polish every day…probably once to two times a week would be fine. It’s a nice way to pamper yourself and help your lips to be soft and hydrated! There are no parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs, or triclosan in this scrub, so your lips will be happy and healthy!

This Lush gift set is the perfect gift for anyone. With 6 awesome products, you are sure to walk away with a new favorite!

This set comes with:

The Comforter
Bubble Gum Lip Scrub
Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar
Sunny Side Bubble Bar
Rock Star Soap
Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

I showed you this gift set in an earlier post, now it’s time for a review!

The Comforter – My absolute favorite product from Lush. Hands down. The Comforter you get in this set is half the size of the stand-alone Comforter (3.5oz vs. 7oz). You can get at least two uses out of this size Comforter. To use: Just crumble up the bubble bar under your warm running bath water. I like to sweep my hand through the water to really agitate it & get the bubbles going. The Comforter makes your water a nice, bright pink color that is so smooth and silky. I love the smell; it’s kind of fruity, but cool.

Bubble Gum Lip Scrub – I am not a fan of Bubblegum as a smell (I prefer the Mint Julips version of this sugar scrub) , but this scrub is great for giving your lips a nice polish. A little bit will definitely go a long way! To use: I like to first put on a chapstick or lipbalm then apply a little bit of the sugar scrub with my finger. The lip balm will help the scrub to stick. Then gently rub the sugar all over your lips — don’t rub too hard! Then you can lick the scrub off or gently wipe it away with a damp cloth. Makes your lips super soft and smooth.

Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar – This is almost like a lotion bar, but with glitter. It definitely gives a nice glow, but it didn’t absorb very well on me and I felt like I was leaving a glitter trail on my clothes and furniture. I’m not sure the best way to use this. :/

Sunny Side Bubble Bar – This is another bubble bar I like. In fact, if you’re trying Lush for the first time, I recommend trying a bubble bar — any kind, but definitely a Bubble Bar; they’re the best! Sunny Side makes your bath not only silky and bubbly, but glittery gold! And not like chunks of glitter sinking to the bottom of your bath — it’s like swirling liquid gold.

Rock Star Soap – :/ This soap smells weird to me. It’s like a chalky bubblegum smell? Thankfully, the smell doesn’t linger and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry.

Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly – This “jelly” is kind of cool. It’s like a more solid shower gel — think Jell-o consistency. The smell is pleasant and with glitter swirls in it, how could you go wrong? I take a small bit of the jelly and lather it up in my loofa. The jelly is a tad slippery, but once it’s lathered, you’re good to go. Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.

The Sweetie Pie gift set is $46 at Lush.com and I would rate it 7.5/10.
