Prep. Polish. Perfect.
That’s what the Narcissus website says when it comes to creating the perfect lips for summer. The Narcissus Duo is a lip scrub and lip mask which work in combination to leave lips soft and ready for make-up, or just bare lips for the summer. We were sent both (they live in these cute little clam boxes!) to try, just in time for the good weather. How did we get on?
The Narcissus Lip Scrub, which is this vibrant pink, has grains which are similar in size and texture to sugar but it’s not! I found that I had to mix a bit of water with the scrub to make it pliable, and then I used too much on my lips so I had bright pink, grainy lips for a while! To use it, you just massage on the mask for 30 seconds to both top and bottom lips and then wash or wipe away. The mask exfoliates and rejuvenates the lips, taking away dead skin and also massages the lips to give them a glow.
Following the Narcissus Lip Scrub, the Lip Mask, which is also pink but not so vibrant in colour, adds depth and acts as a barrier to the lips. The rich mask seals in the moisture and conditions the skin so that they feel plumper. You can either go with the mask as a slight tint of pink colour or as it conditions over time and wears away, add a lipstick or lip gloss on top as you usually would.
The combination of the Narcissus Lip Scrub and Lip Mask create hydration and healing. The Lip Mask also leaves a shine to the lips and if you get dry lips over summer, or are stuck in air conditioning when it’s really hot, then the lip mask really helps with preventing dry lips, and with recovery. They’re a great combination and a lovely self treat!
