Kiss flakey, chapped lips bu-bye!

Scrubs and loofahs are common items to buff you body and face, but what about your lips?  Dry, flakey lips are not only unattractive, the can be terribly uncomfortable.  Sugar lip scrubs are a a great tool to keep your kisser smooth by exfoliating and moisturizing.

Since I was pretty unhappy with the Skinny Girl Lip Scrub (too heavy! too greasy!) I picked up a while back, I've been on the lookout for a good scrub - I know, I know, you can make your own - but who has the time?  I must say, I'm pretty pleased with Victoria's Secret Pro Smooth FX Lip Scrub & Balm.  It has kind of a high price tag (16 dolla!) but it's a sizeable about of product, has wonderful packaging, and it's a 2-fer.



To ensure a perfect pout, our pros always prep lips with this sugar scrub and moisture- rich balm before applying color. Gently massage the scrub onto lips for 30 seconds, then tissue off. Finish with a light layer of balm. Lips are left feeling soft, supple and ready for camera-worthy color.

This scrub/balm combo is all you need to maintain perfectly smooth and soft lips.  The jar itself is quite sturdy (good packaging can be hard to come by!) and has a compact design that makes it easy to travel with and totally practical.  This jar has two different products.  The top part contains a flip top with a moisturizing, lightly minty balm, just unscrew it to reveal the scrub.  The scrub texture is just perfect, not too gritty, no too soft.  It smells slightly sweet, but it is not overpowering and quite pleasant.  This combo really is an ah-mazing prep for lip color or for taking the day's lip color off.  To be quite frank, your lips will be so smooth and supple you may want to keep your kisser au naturale.
