Review: The Style Melting Sugar Lip Scrub

Stock Photo
Hello everyone!
Sorry for the lack of reviews lately. I've been crazy busy at school and with various other things. I'm a college senior so graduation is coming up really fast! So today I will be reviewing a Missha lip scrub. I bought a lot of stuff on the website recently, mainly some gifts for my friends' birthdays. So I'll just be reviewing the items I purchased for myself ^^ I got this scrub for $6.30 on the Missha site.



 Love the packaging, it comes in this cute little cylindrical, plastic container with a screw top. When you remove the top there is a small plastic separator with a little tab on it to keep the product separated and sanitary.



Missha The Style Melting Sugar Lip Scrub
Size: 9G
Use the Melting Sugar Lip Scrub for a complete lip care.
The Conditioning Complex in the Scrub contains oils and butter that help retain moisture in lips and give a smooth finish. The natural sugar particles are of various sizes to better reach in between the fine lines and wrinkles in your lips.
Description: Apply appropriate amount onto lips and gently massage with fingertips. When sugar particles melt and lips feel softer, wipe off with tissue.

Swatches


Since my product is new it is a little firm, but if you use it more it will get softer. You can check out the Missha site's close up photos and it shows you an accurate consistency of the product. It is sort of brownish with little sugar particles. It is gentle, with a subtle sweetish smell.

How I Use this Product

I apply some of the product with my finger to my lips. I rub it into my lips in circular motions until it is absorbed/smoother, and then wipe it off with either a paper towel or a tissue. Lastly, for best results, I'll usually apply a lip balm.

My Thoughts on the Product?

I really like this lip scrub. It is gentle, yet gets the job done. After using it, I have smooth and moisturized lips. I found that it generally keeps my lips smooth and unchapped for about 2-3 days after using it. So maybe use it only once or twice a week. It is quick and easy to use, and it smells pleasant and is completely painless. This is a great solution for anyone with chapped lips, or for people who want that smooth and flawless lipstick application.

Who do I Recommend this Product to?

Anyone with chapped lips, or anyone who wants completely smooth lips. It is great for people who want a flawless lipstick application.

Rating: 5/5


Pros:
- Gentle yet effective
- Moisturizing
- Pleasant smell
- Long lasting effect
- Quick, easy, and painless

Cons:
Can't think of any!

I got mine on the Missha website. If you are interested in trying Korean skincare or makeup I cannot recommend Missha enough. Reasonable prices with HQ products-- what more can you ask for? 

Right now, until 4/8/14 is a Friends & Family sale. So everything is 40% off! I already placed two orders, as I mentioned before. They offer free shipping (if you spend somewhere around $35 I think). It was also priority 1 day shipping so I got both my packages within a day of placing my order. Pleasant surprise :D

Missha also now gives you cash back on your orders, then you can apply this money towards future purchases. I don't think you get cash back if you buy during the F&F sale but every other purchase is eligible. They also have VIP benefits if you spend $200 in a calendar year. 

All of this sounds great doesn't it? Check out Missha! Have any of you tried Missha before? Have you used their US website? Do you plan to buy from them? Thoughts? Comments? You know what to do~~

Sorry for my inactivity lately...

Hey guys sorry for my lack of activity lately. Ever since Spring Break I've been crazed with school work and the various other stresses bombarding a college senior. I got the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster over Spring Break so I have been playing that a lot. Anyway, I should be updating my blog with some new posts really soon. I got some more products from Missha, so hopefully I'll be reviewing them shortly. 

Lately I've been ordering CDs from Mnet America, so any K-Pop fans out there should check out their site. They have great specials from merchandise to autographed CDs, all for a low cost and low shipping rates. So check them out! I just bought a Lunafly autographed album, BTOB autographed album, and a CN Blue autographed album (but only by one randomly selected member). I was excited because on Mnet they also have meet and greets via Mnet's livestream. I won something in the meet and greet with Lunafly! I was so lucky ^^ They are my favorite group. Soompi is also a great shop for autographed/cool merch. I'll put the links below :) See you next post~~
