Scrubz Natural Sugar Body Scrub in Sweet Milk & Honey and Lipz Service Lip Scrub in Mint - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I have a body scrub and a lip scrub to show you in this post; the Scrubz Natural Sugar Body Scrub, which I have in Sweet Milk & Honey, and I also have a sample of the Scrubz Lipz Service Lip Scrub in mint. Check out my review of each product, plus all the product info, after the pics!



Scrubz Natural Sugar Body Scrub
Scent: Sweet Milk & Honey








Scrubz Natural Sugar Body Scrub Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $16.00 (8 oz full size) - also available in a 16oz size for $26.00 or a 2oz size for $6.00. Available on the Scrubz website.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

Scrubz Natural Sugar Body Scrub is really four products in one. It's an exfoliant and cleanser for face and body, a pre-shave prep and shaving oil, as well as a protective moisturizer. This exfoliating sugar scrub will have your skin cleansed, polished and soft.

Available in 19 scents, plus the option to customize your own scent. I have this scrub in Sweet Milk & Honey, which smells really, really good. On their website they describe it as a scent of creamy milk, luscious honey and a hint of oatmeal.

This scrub has a light, fluffy, dry texture. When I had gotten this, it was sealed but the oils did leak out - which is pretty common among body scrubs.

In addition to loving the scent of the Sweet Milk & Honey, I also really enjoyed using this body scrub. Because it is a dryer, fluffier texture it can be a bit more messy to use but it's totally workable and I really think it does a nice job at getting my skin soft and smooth.

There are other scents I'd like to try in the future and I'd recommend checking out these body scrubs!



Scrubz Lipz Service Lip Scrub
Scent: Mint





Scrubz Lipz Service Lip Scrub Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $12.00 (for the full size; I only show a sample jar). Available on the Scrubz website.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Pure Shea Butter Lipz Lip Balm is whipped with their Scrubz Sugar Scrub to create a gentle, exfoliating, lip-smacking, lip-softening polish and balm in one. The lip scrub will have your lips polished and smooth.

Available in four choices: unscented, Mint, Sweet, and Citrus.

I have mint and it is a refreshing mint scent. It both smelled freshing and felt refreshing on the lips.

It has a similar light, fluffy texture as their body scrub - with maybe a hint more oil to it/moisture to it. For a lip scrub that says it's moisturizing, I really didn't find it moisturizing at all. It does a good job at scrubbing my lips but I wouldn't count on this product to moisturize them. Maybe I just have very dry lips, or maybe my sample wasn't the best, but I still liked the way it scrubbed my lips and enjoyed the scent/taste of the mint!

I find that it works well and I'd recommend this if you're looking to get a lip scrub.

Mally Perfect Prep Lip Treatment System - before & after, swatches, tutorial, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I truly think I have a small addiction to Mally cosmetics because when I saw her new Perfect Prep Lip Treatment System I got all giddy and had to order, even though I don't really need it because I have other lip scrubs and balms. But still, it's from Mally and I just had to have it because I know her products are usually great. So what did I think of her Perfect Prep Lip Treatment System? Continue reading to find out!

Check out my pics, swatches, before & after, tutorial, stats and review...

Formula:
The lip scrub is really great because it's not harsh or too rough, but it gets the job done. It smells good too! The lip balms are really nice and moisturizing. They apply easily and make your lips feel wonderful! A really great 3-piece set to own for your lips!

Coverage:
The Clear Lip Balm is obviously going to offer no coverage, but the Shaded Lip Balm will give you a sheer to light wash of pink color (with a hint of shimmer).

Wear:
Average lip balm wear; just re-apply as needed.

Shades Available:
There is only one set at this time, but I bet Mally will come out with other Shaded Lip Balm color choices in the future.

This 3-piece set costs $35 - making it roughly $11.67 per item. You can purchase this set on QVC's website.

Mally Perfect Prep Lip Treatment System Review:
I really, really, really like this set. I think it's all your lips need - from exfoliation to hydration to color; this is smart kit! I have to admit that I was originally drawn to this set because I thought the lip balms reminded me of the Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 (and the original version), and I wanted to see if Mally created an identical product. It isn't identical, because the balms are definitely different, but they are still really great balms.

The lip scrub worked great without being too harsh. It smelled/tasted good and didn't irritate my lips. I just scrubbed it on, left it there for a minute or two, then removed with a paper towel.

The Clear Lip Balm is nice because it really hydrates your lips and even leaves a slightly glossy finish behind.

The Shaded Lip Balm is pretty. It doesn't go on quite as sheer as the Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15, but it does go on sheer and you can build the color up. It's tinted pink - which is a very fresh pink shade that will work with just about everyone - and has a hint of shimmer.

I highly recommend checking out this product the next time you want to find a lip scrub and/or balm.
