Friday Fun Find Bliss Fabulips Lip Scrub

There are some things in life that are not only excessive, but simply can not be reasonably defended, like parking tickets or anal bleaching. And while a lip exfoliant might/should very well fall into the same category, I cant help but feel inclined to tell you that you absolutely MUST own this sugar lip scrub from Bliss.
Im part of a subculture of people who once was obsessed with Carmex, uknowingly slathering salicylic acid (yes, the potent drying agent in acne medication) onto the gentle skin of my lips on the straight reg, yall. Of course, this vicious cycle of drying my lips out, slathering on the soothing balm, thus further drying my lips out, created an addiction to all things lip balm to this very day. What Im getting at is, if my lips are without some kind of balm, gloss, or lipstick for more than 15 minutes, they immediately feel chapped and flaky. Until recently, I was pretty much placing all my bets on my eos and La Mer lip balms, but now, theres a new sheriff in town, and it is this lip scrub.
Its a gentle sugar scrub, laced with jojoba seed oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter. Translation: its basically a lip balm! After you wipe away the scrub, your lips are left feeling so soft and moisturized, you can practically skip the lip balm.
But if you paid $50 for one, why in the hell would you do that??

Anyone else using a lip-only exfoliant? What do you think about it?? What about my fellow Carmex abusers?? Should we get together and file a class action lawsuit for emotional and oral distress??
