In the seasons where your lips are already dry and dark lips are a staple, a good lip scrub is definitely needed. Lipstick always looks better when your lips have been properly prepped before hand. Scrubs can also come in useful when you can't get that dark lipstick off at night. I am a massive fan of the Lush Lip Scrubs as they're made from a mixture of natural ingredients and safe synthetics. Obviously it's possible to make your own lip scrub at home, but if you're lazy like me it's easier to just pick up a tub at £5.50! I've had mine for quite a few months now and it's still going strong (some Lush products can go 'off').

There's only 6 ingredients in this scrub - caster sugar, organic jojoba oil, methyl ionone, flavour and colours 45410 and 45380. The way that the scrub is made means you can actually eat it after you've scrubbed your lips which I know sounds weird, just trust me. You can also get this lip scrub in mint, popcorn and Christmas limited edition cherry. It's 100% trying out if you're a dry lipped girl! The sugar means it's the perfect amount of abrasive without being too harsh and painful. You do end up with little bits of sugar around your mouth so I'd recommend using it in front of a mirror where you can see what you're doing. The result? Lips are left smooth, free of dead skin and ready for lip balm or your chosen lipstick.

Let me know if you've tried out the other flavours!
