- Looks like I just ate a churro.
I wish I was eating a churro.
- Today we're going to be testing lip scrubs.
You've probably seen the store bought version.
This one is from Lush.
It's just a little exfoliant.
It's really great for getting away dry skin,
so that your lipstick goes on really smooth and nice.
I really like the Lush lip scrub.
I'm not going to lie.
But I figure there's definitely a way to DIY this.
So I'm going to try DIY-ing it,
and then I'm going to give the lip scrub
to a few of my friends and we're going to
pick which one is the best lip scrub.
There's really three categories that we're ranking this on.
That is price.
Which one's cheaper?
Product.
Which one works better?
And practicality.
Is this really annoying to make?
Is it practical to make?
Would I actually make it?
Okay.
Let's make some lip scrub.
All right, so, I've got printed out instructions.
That's how you know I mean business.
First thing we're going to do,
in a medium sized bowl, mix brown sugar
and coconut oil until fully combined.
Okay.
We can do that.
Then you also need one tablespoon of honey.
If it tastes as good as it smells,
we're in for a treat.
It's kind of hard to mix though.
Like it gets stuck to the spoon a lot.
I think the best way to mix it is to
sort of like smear it on the edges,
and then like put it back on the spoon
and then smear it again.
Stir in one drop of peppermint oil.
Wow, that was really easy.
I definitely thought that was going to take way longer
and way more ingredients, but it did not.
So now I'm going to scoop it into some little jars
and give it to my friends.
All right, so I just finished making the lip scrubs.
I put them in these very secretive containers.
This is the store bought version.
This is the DIY version.
And now I'm going to go hand them
to a few of my friends, so that they can
take them home and try them out,
and let me know which one they think is best.
- Okay, guys.
I'm going to try this lip scrub.
These two lip, oh, fuck.
Okay, so I'm going to try these two lip scrubs
that Ashley gave me.
- Just washed my face, put a little moisturizer on,
and now I'm going to try this first lip scrub.
- One is homemade, the other is store bought.
I don't know which is which.
And we're going to see which one I like the best.
- Okay, so I'm going to start off with lip scrub A.
- This kind of just seems like brown sugar.
And it will be really bad if it's just brown sugar,
because I think it is.
- So it's kind of granuley, so it feels like
the grains are going to fall a little bit
on your face and clothes.
So I guess maybe there's no super clean lip scrub.
- I don't like the way that one feels.
- It's sweet.
Tastes sweet.
- Okay, I'm trying out lip scrub sample B
on my top lip.
- Lip scrub B.
This is more oily.
- I have no idea what this smells like.
But it smells good.
Feels like there's some hint of mint, maybe.
- I'm minty and sticky.
So that's how B is feeling.
- This one's like, it just feels like lip gloss.
This is like honey.
I don't know, man.
- I think I maybe liked sample A slightly better
because it was a little less messy,
and it tasted better.
But they're both pretty similar,
and they both worked equally well.
- I'd say that I liked A better.
The more like granular, sugary, minty one.
That one tasted better.
And also felt like it was doing more on my lips.
Yeah.
That's my review.
- People really loved the Lush lip scrub.
I'm happy that the DIY lip scrub wasn't a total fail.
I think you can definitely do this,
especially if you're in a pinch
and you're just about to go out,
and you have to put lipstick on,
but your lips are all chapped,
and you don't have lip scrub on hand.
You can just go and make this in your kitchen really quick,
which is super convenient and awesome.
But ultimately, despite all my DIY efforts,
people still preferred the Lush lip scrub.
This is not sponsored in any way.
Lush has no idea that I'm doing this,
but even without knowing,
people really enjoyed the lip scrub.
If there's a product that you want to
see me test the DIY version,
definitely let me know in the comments.
Also, if you have a better DIY lip scrub recipe,
for sure let me know in the comments,
because I'd love to know what you guys are making.
- [Delissa] I'm going to do a lip scrub every day.
