#43 The Perfect Pout

Hello!

Today I'm talking lips (again) although this time it's all about the preparation. As you may well know by now, I am forever reaching for the lipstick so it's important that I give my lips lots of loving. I don't usually have dry lips, especially once winter is out the way but recently they've taken a turn for the worst. I'm not sure what's caused it but my lips and the area just below are so sore! So, I've been using my LUSH lip scrub and NUXE lip balm religiously and I've really noticed a difference.

At £5.50 this scrub works wonders without breaking the bank. I also have this scrub in bubblegum which tastes soooo good- not that they were made for eating... In the morning I prefer to use these scrubs before I cleanse and in the evening once I've taken my make up off and again, before I cleanse. Although I think this scrub works wonders, I don't really like getting it on my skin as I feel like the sugar ain't gonna' do no good, although it's most probably fine!

Once I've finished scrubbing away I've been using this beauty. At £9.50 it's slightly more expensive but it's still not too unreasonable for something that works so well. As you can tell from the image above I've really been going for it with this one, it literally works wonders. It feels stickier than a cream or typical balm and has quite a thick consistency which I didn't expect to be honest, but it feels so nourishing on the lips. I usually use this just before I get into bed or whilst I am doing my hair or make up before I get to the lips.

As a combination these two work so well with each other, I seriously cannot get enough of the lip balm, it's heavenly. As the actual skin below my lip has also been bad I've also invested in some antiseptic cream, but my lips themselves are feeling so much better!

What are your go to products for your lips?
