Julep has released some lip treatments in the March 2014 Maven box and of course I just had to try them. I'm not really sure why, because I have not had much luck with their lip treatments & balms. I really like their glosses, just have not liked the results of their treatments.
I have found that the products from the Luxe line do not absorb well into the skin. Meaning, I feel like I'm rubbing the serum into my hands consistently for well over 5 minutes...regardless if my skin is dry or damp.
And the Luxe lip treatment, feels just like I'm coating my lips. It's not a thick formula, but again it doesn't absorb into your lips and make them softer but it doesn't make them dry either. I would recommend applying it over a really good moisturizing balm/treatment to keep it in place.
I was more pleased with the Luxe Lip Scrub than the treatment. It is actually very moisturizing and creamy, but I will say the granules of the scrub are really, really fine and not enough of it comes out. I really think this is due to the delivery system..the opening for the product is not very big. I am not a fan of this type of delivery system because it seems like you always get too much because of the way you have to prime it. I wish they used the same base from the scrub in the lip treatment.
