ELF Lip Exfoliator (Clear)

My lips have to be the worst lips in history, they get so dry and then wearing lipstick becomes an impossibility due to the fact that it just looks like a complete mess on my lips. Anything that is going to help my lips I'm up for so when I noticed this lip scrub on the ELF stand, that was it, it was coming with me.

Lush Lip Scrub - Mint Juleps

My lips can be quite dry and I was in Lush in November and discovered their range of lip scrubs, I had a snifter as you do and loved the smell of Mint Juleps (it smelled of After Eights), and I thought was the right one for the upcoming christmas season.

What you do is you dab your finger into the pot and rub the product all over your lips, once you have scrubbed your lips you can then lick it off, I use water to wash it off because it's also dry skin as well yuk!

This also comes in Bubblegum, and Popcorn flavours.

This works really well on the lips to take off the dead skin but you do need to put a lip balm on after, the mint juleps one smells gorgeous and because of the mint is quite refreshing on your lips.

I will buy this product again but I will have to try the other smells/flavours.

Thanks for tuning in

BLOGMAS 10: My Morning Skincare Routine

On a morning my skincare routine is quite a quick one.

1) Micellar Water
This is just to clean my face and get rid of all the muck that may have ended up on my face through the night. I have been using L'Oreal's Purifying Micellar Solution, it also leaves a clean palette to put my mosituriser on.

2) Moisturiser
I use Garnier's Moisture Match for combination to oily skin, as I said I don't like to put too much moisturiser onto my skin, with this I only need a tiny bit.

3) Lip Scrub
I am currently using Lush's Mint Juleps lip scrub, and it smells fantastic. Once you have finished using it you can just lick it off but I use water (when you think about it, it's dead skin from your lips that your licking off, and licking your lips doesn't help them too much)

4) Lip Balm
I use Maybeline Baby Lips in Intense Care, this just helps to add some moisture back into my lips.

As you can see only four steps here (not that excessive) I don't like to overload my skin with a lot of moisturising products due to the fact that my skin is combination so it can get oily and then lead to breakouts.

What do you use in the morning?

Thanks for tuning in
