Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing an amazing lip exfoliator. It’s called the Motives Cosmetics Lip Pumice. The reason it’s called this is because it acts like a pumice stone for your lips without being overly abrasive. It comes in a lipstick like tube and smells like mint. It’s white looking and has black exfoliating kernels of some sort. It retails for $14.95 on their site (link in the side). MAC had a limited edition product like this that came out with the Volcanic Ash Collection. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Gently exfoliates while the white balm conditions.
-Isn’t too harsh so you can use every day.
-Helps my lipstick and gloss apply smoothly.
Con(s):
-If you can survive with sugar and baby oil, don’t buy this.
Overall review: I really like the overall concept of this product. I didn’t purchase the MAC one, but rumor has it that MAC and Motives Cosmetics have the same manufacturer. Nonetheless, I believe that if you cannot afford a $15 exfoliator, you will be able to do the same with baby oil and sugar. I personally would buy it again since its so travel friendly, easy to use, and just an amazing and creative concept. The packaging is in a twist up tube so it’s easy for on-the-go too. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Review: Lush Lip Scrubs
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the new Lush Lip Scrubs. They were introduced in the UK a month or two ago and now they’re available from Lush USA. They retail for $8.95 for .8 ounces. The two flavors I have are in Mint Julip and Bubblegum. Both of these products are vegan which may be a plus for some of you. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Exfoliates nicely without hurting your lips and tastes good.
-Nice compact travel size.
-A little bit goes a long way!
Con(s):
-A bit pricey for how much product you get.
Overall review: I think these are okay as a product but I wish they’d lower the prices. No one would buy these at $9 a pop. They taste really good thought and it won’t harm you if you swallow a bit (I don’t know if its non-toxic). The bubble gum flavor tastes exactly like bubble gum and it’s very sweet. The mint julips tastes like mint and chocolate ice cream. They both are user friendly, but I think that a mix of baby oil and sugar will do. You don’t have to spend $9 for that product. Thanks to Maria for reuesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Nope, you should just opt for baby oil and sugar!
