Lip Happy!

Sara Happ is making a name for herself with a very innovative product to make my lips happy. Really happy!

The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ is her creation. And I wonder where a creation like this has been. You see, Sara wondered that too, and she came up with the idea and created it in her own kitchen with sugar as the base. After using her creation every day and searching for similar products, she know she was onto something. This was unique. Low and behold The Lip Scrub was born.

The Lip Scrub comes in six decadent flavors: Almond Creme, Peppermint, Vanilla Bean, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon Sugar, and Cocoa. There is definitely one to please even the pickiest of tastes.

I am using, Peppermint, and my lips couldn't be happier. I swear my lips look a little more full. Less lines, no flakes, no dryness - none, whatsoever too.

The Lip Scrub can be used everyday like I have been trying. I just take a small amount onto my finger and scrub over and around my lips. I scrub them for a few minutes, and then tissue it off, rinse with water, and tissue again. It does sting a bit at first, but that can be adjusted according to pressure. I then top it off with a lip balm to seal in the softness.

That brings me to my next point. Where is the lip balm, Sara? I could see this selling as a set with The Lip Scrub and a great Super Balm, possibly.  Just a little hint!

The Lip Scrub is available at fine boutiques around the country and of course, at The Lip Scrub online. For only $20 your lips will be happy too!

Very Sexy!

Have you been to Victoria's Secret lately? Have you seen the incredible array of makeup they now have? Not just the other beauty stuff like the shower gels, bubble baths, perfumes, gift baskets, etc.  But the makeup? Wow, Victoria's Secret has an entire dedicated beauty department now. And their new premier line is called Very Sexy. Very Sexy Color - and as they say, "the sexiest color on earth".

I am quite impressed with the Very Sexy Color Collection. It is very MAC-like with it's rich, bold, full-of-pigment colors.

First, let me tell you about the packaging. The containers are housed in the most beautiful glossy black or hot pink boxes, with print in the opposite color (black boxes with hot pink print or hot pink boxes with black print). The compacts and containers themselves are glossy black with foil-like print in hot pink. They are very pretty - oh, yeah - I mean Very Sexy!
