Most Helpful Positive Review

Not what I was expecting, but does the job

So this product is a 2-in-1 with one compartment holding the lip scrub and the other compartment holding the lip balm. The texture of the scrub is much, much thicker than I was expecting. It honestly reminds me of packed wet sand. In fact, the oils used in the scrub are so thick that once you app...ly the scrub, it is somewhat difficult to get it off. The issue with removing the scrub is that I want to leave the nice moisturizing oils behind while removing the exfoliating beads. However, at this point I've just resorted to using soap and water to get the scrub off which of course defeats the point of applying all those nice moisturizing oils. While the scrub is technically edible it does NOT taste nice. Also, the exfoliating beads were very, very fine which isn't an issue for me as they still work well at removing dead skin but if you are looking for something with thicker exfoliating beads like a body scrub, this lip scrub is probably not for you. The lip balm is nice. I would compare the texture to that of a thicker Vaseline. I tried using it as an overnight balm but by the time I woke up in the morning my lips were bone dry. To be fair to the product though, I do have very dry skin. This is definitely a product that would need to be used every other day if not everyday to see a noticeable difference. However, despite all of these qualities listed above, I have noticed an improvement in my lips in both their texture and moisture. Previous to using this lip scrub I was just applying Burt's Bees lip balm before bed and throughout the day.
