Victoria's Secret Smooth Pout Lip Scrub & Nighttime Balm — 

Victoria's Secret Smooth Pout Lip Scrub & Nighttime Balm

 My sister, knowing what a cosmetic /lip balm junkie I am, bought this for me while making an online order figuring I just might like it. I gave it a try and she was right, it's a perfect combination of Lip Scrub which consists of extra-fine sugar granules, vitamin E and jojoba to gently exfoliate and nourish lips,ridding them of those ugly grabby dry spots while the  Nighttime Balm moisturizes and conditions with rich mango butter. Olive oil and aloe vera helps soothe and moisturize lips throughout the night.

It's very easy to use,  take a small amount of the Lip Scrub and in a circular motion scrub all over lips for about a half minute or so, it can be tissued or rinsed off; I prefer to rinse. Next follow with the Nighttime Balm, massage all over and you're done, lips feel instantly hydrated and softened. It also revs up circulation to the lip area as well.

I also like the fact that this comes in piggy-back container with the scrub on the bottom and the balm on top, very convenient. I find it has a light pleasant sweet scent.

Victoria's Secret describes this product as 'Infused with our exclusive Pout Nutri-Lip Complex, a cocktail of natural wonders: antioxidant yumberry, plus a trio of soothing, renewing extracts - lychee, green tea and hibiscus - to protect and serve up soft, age-defying lips.'

This sells for $18.00, but I'm guessing it can be found on sale at some point either at VS stores or online.  If you suffer from dry chapped lips especially during the cold winter months, may I suggest you give Victoria's Secret Smooth Pout Lip Scrub & Nighttime Balm a try, it's gentle and you will see results almost instantly and for sure lips will be kissably soft in the morning.

I'm heading out to do some shopping this morning and will likely purchase THE mascara. I'm anxious to see how it works on me too. I decided If I don't happen to like it I'll just return it, CVS is good about that.

Have a great day !

Discounts are always good. I don't know if you will like this mascara. It will be interesting if you do try it to see what you think. We're all so different and what works on one doesn't on another sometimes.

Sounds like a good deal, unfortunately our Rite Aid stores all recently closed as CVS dominates that market here in many of the New England states. I have a friend who manages a CVS in Boston, she'll get it for me with her employee discount if I want it, that's always a good deal lol.

Rite Aid has buy one L'Oreal eye product, get one free this week so I bought one mascara and an eyeliner. After I tried it, I bought two more and gave one to my sister and kept the second one for ... when I need more. lol.

This stuff does sound good. I use a peel and balm by BeautiControl but the balm is thin. The peel is great though.

I am SO glad to hear that you like the mascara, now I feel like I can venture out and give it a try knowing a true beauty diva has given it the ultimate test, a BIG THANK YOU !! I do like my lashes a bit more dramatic, that's one of the reasons I want mascara to do what it says and not be wishy washy lol.

Yes, this VS lip exfoliator is quite good, I especially like the fact that the balm is used to treat lips overnight, I'm always slathering on a balm anyway so why not get the maximum benefit from it. I may have to give this as stocking stuffers for all my chap-lipped family members for Christmas !

As far as the Triscuits, the pepper flavor is awesome, the oily flavor is not :( I'd love it if they had just pepper ones because I think they're a great cracker, love the crunch.

Oooh, gotta have this!! By the way, I tried the crazy ball mascara and it is excellent. I wrote a review on it. I am so glad I took one for the team. It's quite possibly one of the best mascaras I have used. VERY dramatic though so if you like natural lashes, you won't like the Telescopic Explosion. I like dramatic lashes so it worked well for me.
