What the What? Victoria's Secret sells Lipsticks??

Greetings!

Recently while perusing at the mall on one of my "I'm not going shopping just to browse" escapades I stumbled into Victoria's Secret only to be bombarded with salespeople and a crowd of women purchasing underwear.  To say the least, I am not a huge fan of Victoria's Secret, not because I don't think the products are lame but because of the redundancy I come across when in the store.  But anyways that is beyond the scope of this post, lol.  For the most part I was beyond surprised when I was directed to the cosmetics department of the store......uhmmmm.......cosmetics?.....at Victoria's Secret?....I had NO IDEA! lol   I was pleasantly surprised and of course I took the liberty of seeing what could meet my fancy.  After swatching I decided on two "nude" lipsticks and I am in love with the texture, shade, hue and finish.  

See for yourself:

Left to Right: Scrumptious & Sweet Nothing

I picked up the shades Scrumptious and Sweet Nothing.

I love Scrumptious because it applies smoothly and leaves a creamy finish to the lips.  I would describe it as a cremesheen finish similar to those of MAC lipsticks.  No obvious scent which is appreciated.  It is a light peachy color that may or may not work for you depending on your skin tone but that's nothing a little lip liner can't help. :)  It can be built up for a more opaque finish or sheered out with just one swipe if you wish.  I like to go more opaque.

 

 

Sweet Nothing is a pink neutral shade that seriously matches any eye or cheek combo you decide to go for.  As I said before there is no obvious scent and the finish is just the same as Scrumptious.  Because these are so creamy and summertime is fast approaching I would not recommend you leave these in your car or in any other hot spaces for long periods of time for fear of them melting. 

Here are swatches:

I think these lipsticks are a great buy for those in the market for a nice neutral lip.  I purchased mine for $13 USD each and I think that's a fair price.   They lasted for four hours on me before I had to reapply.

Now that I know Victoria's Secret has these gems inside I may be going in more often now. :)

When was the last time you went into Vicky's?  What did you get?  What do you think of these lipstick shades?  Yay or Nay?  Tell me in the comments.
