Most Helpful Positive Review leaves lips feeling great first... you have to dig your finger into the pot, and if you have nails you won't be able to use your finger tip. But scooping some out with the tip of the nail works great. Also, only a small amount of product is needed per use. Initially, when dipping into the product it was smooth, but after breaking through the top layer of the product, it has exfoliating beads (translucent). Once it is applied to the lips it does feel great, and it provides a very minimal amount of a tingling sensation, and cooling. Nothing to be alarmed about, nor does it add any discomfort to the process. It does work as a lip primer, however I would recommend gently swiping off the exfoliating beads. This product is also great for removing hard to remove lip products. It does have a slight minty scent, and has a hint of a sweet taste, nothing overwhelming. The product is clear, and leaves the lips felling soft, and clean. I love it and would recommend to anyone that is searching for a gentle, but effective lip exfoliate. I purchased this product with my own money, and this is my honest review.
Most Helpful Critical Review Big mistake My upper lip had gotten a dry spot that felt like no chapstick could fix, everything felt like it just sat on top of the dry area. I went into Ulta and explained I had a chapped lip and needed an exfoliate and this was the only option they offered. I should have known with my temperamental skin this was going to end badly.
Long story short, at 27 years old I am having the worst breakout. I felt like the exfoliate was greasy when I used it but I was being dumb and didn't wash it off. If you have temperamental skin or are prone to breakouts BE AWARE.

Works very well love the smell I use a tool to exfoliate it in so it works better definitely scrub for a few minutes but it leaves lips feeling SUPPERRRR SOFT
Wow! This product made my dry, cracked lips so soft! 5

Use every night! Love it!
It's okay, but not worth the price 3
Darian from Philadelphia, PA
This product works and smells great, but I didn't see a noticeable difference. You can just as easily scrub your lips with a toothbrush and warm water and get pretty much the same results.
Promising at first... 1
Blondie from Georgia
I love the smell,it's a light minty smell.But once I exfoliate my lips they dry out and peel like crazy and it's hard to get them hydrated after using this.Maybe it's not for everyone.
Highly Recommend! 5
Dani from MI
Works great!
I've tried A LOT of products looking for a lil exfoliant like this and none have come close. It's affordable, lasts a long time, and works amazingly well!

Love that it's not too abrasive for sensitive skin but does exfoliate the lips
Perfect Lip Exfoliant 5
amber from Virginia
i tried this about a month ago and will continue to buy. first and foremost its got a minty smell, which i personally love my lip exfoliants & chap sticks to have.. when it comes to lip exfoliators i'm picky, i hate when there's not much sugar (or whatever the brand's using inside to exfoliate) and it barely exfoliates your lips it just melts away within seconds. this ones perfect its not to much but its definitely enough to wear it'll exfoliate all the dead skin and just melt away nicely, and it's very moisturizing.. trust me if you like a more abrasive exfoliant then this for you, but obviously not to abrasive where it scratches your lips or hurts.
it's definitely worth it and will be my new go-to. good job Tarte!
Love! Definitely would buy again! 5

Quick and easy to use! Just massage a little of the product in a circular motion and then remove with a wet cloth!

I love this exfoliant! This was the first and best lip exfoliating I've ever used. I'll definitely be purchasing more.
I love it 5
Olivia (: from Spartanburg, SC
It comes bigger than I expected it to. It does have a very strong mint taste and smell, but it is not bad. It also is a pretty good exfoliant, not too hard, not too soft. I really enjoy this product for me personally. Does not take a lot to get the job done.
Great product but still a little overpriced 4
summerkindagal from San Diego
I really liked this product. It's my first lip exfoliant and I wasn't too sure of what to expect. Definitely a little goes along way. I feel it's a little overpriced for a glorified lip balm with sugar.
Makes lips feel great 5
Angie from Minneapolis
Tarte lip exfoliant works great and makes my lips feel.so soft. I use a lip scrubber tool that a got from Target that makes putting on the lip exfoliant so much easier. Then I apply a lip oil before bed..wake up with nice soft lips!

I've always had issues with lipstick going on smooth. I put this on while I am getting ready and my lips feel AMAZING! And my lipstick looks great!! One of my new favorite products
I would not buy again 1
Ren from Houston, Texas
Did not like. The jeffree Star lip scrub is so much better and is cheaper
Great exfoliant for my lips 5
WildOne from Kirkland, WA
This is my second jar. I bought it a few years ago from Tarte.com. It lasted a long time. I use it 2-3 times a week. I wear a lot of lipstick/balm/tint, and that makes my lips look dull. This exfoliant makes my lips smooth, and looks brighter. Last but not least, the ingredients are safe and clean as well.
Best lip exfoliator 5
RCo from TENN from Nashville
great to use every AM before leaving for work. put a small amount on one finger and put on lips and run around your entire lip area for approximately 30 seconds. rub lips together. non toxic. the almond oil in this will moisturize your lips for several hours. can put glosses or lipsticks on top of it or lick it off but you won't want to when you realize how moisturizing it is to your lips.
Buy it ! 5
Savannah from Texas
Definitely gets rid of the dead skin on your lips & also leaves them very moisturized. The smell is minty and I love it!

Lip Scrub Love Fest 4
Kate K from Cleveland, OH
Adorably packaged, awesome smelling with great exfoliation. Minty scent, leaves lips soft and silky without needing an immediate additional balm after. 4 stars instead of 5 just because I wish it was a tiny bit cheaper. But LOVE ❤
HOLY GRAIL LIP PRODUCT 5
Isabel from Minneapolis, Minnesota
I always have dry lips due to wearing matte liquid lipsticks everyday and i hadn't found a lip scrub that actually worked until i found this! It exfoliates and moisturizes and also slightly plumps your lips from the peppermint in it. I love using this and then following it with my Mario Badescue rose lip balm and my lips have seriously never been so soft and smooth! I'm literally never going to stop using this product!!!
Best lip scrub! 5
Charbear from WV

I'll definitely repurchase !
