I bought the lip scuff out of curiosity and because I am a sucker for TBS products.
The product come in a lipstick tube that is beautifully packages (as all TBS products are) I just hate the placement of the price sticker over the perforation which made it a mission to pull off the plastic and destroyed my nail polish. I had a look at all the lipsticks and lip scuffs and it seems that is simply just where they choose to place stickers (rather annoying). Anyway, once opened you can smell a peppermint scent from the lip scuff and I was happy about that because I didn't know what to expect.
I didn't know how to use this product at all and because at the time I didn't think to ask the assistant at the store, I had to figure this out for myself. It is applied the same way as a lip balm and at first it does feel as if there aren't any exfoliating particles but as soon as you "break through" the outside barrier of balm you hit the exfoliant and can really feel it on your lips. I move it back and forth on my lips (as you normally do with a lip balm) on both my bottom and tops lips then rubbed them together to finish off the exfoliation. I then used some cotton wool pads to brush the particles off my lips. The peppermint leaves the lips with a tingling effect which makes them feel refreshed. The scuff is enriched with marula oil which leaves your lips well moisturised and there is no need to apply another product to your lips afterwards. I apply this twice a week and have noticed a difference in the appearance and texture of my lips. They are smoother and there are fewer deep lines on them.
At R80 it is quite expensive and I think there are much cheaper and just as effective ways of exfoliating your lips. However this is very convenient and easy to use. I am not certain if I definitely will buy another one but it's something that I probably will reach for while I am at the store because it's a novelty to have and use. TBS is good at coming up with these kinds of products that pull you in and then you are hooked, whether you like to admit it or not.
