Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Glosses

I got all six of these in a gift set around Christmas time. They can be purchased at Victoria's Secret stores in the US or La Senza stores in Canada. They are priced at around $7 each (2 for $12 or 5 for $20).

The Specks
  • Punchy - Intense electric pink color. Shimmery, with no glitter. It smells less like fruit juice and more like a fruit powder drink (think Kool-Aid)
  • Slice of Heaven - Duo colored. Pale muted pink that reflects a bright pink. Shimmery, with no glitter. It smells like yummy vanilla cake.
  • Mango Madness - Sheer pink with silver glitter. It smells vaguely of mangoes. It has a topical sweet scent.
  • Cupquake - Purple pink color with blue and pink glitters. It smells of vanilla frosting.
  • Sugar High - A clear gloss with blue, green and gold glitters. It has a extremely sweet scent.
  • Strawberry Fizz - It is very similar in color to Mango Madness, but a tad bit darker. It has pink and silver glitters in it. It smells of strawberry candies.
The Pros
    • There is a lot of product in each tube. 13 grams per tube.
    • Vast variety of colors and flavors to choose from.
    • Nice sweet flavor
    • When used sparingly, they look nice over top a lipstick
    The Cons
    • These glosses are very sticky.
    • I find that if they are not wiped off with a tissue after use, the inside of the cap can get quite messy.
    • Not the greatest at moisturizing.
