Review: Motives Cosmetics Lip Pumice


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!
