The Bottom Line

Votre Vu: Duette is a soothing lip balm and pampering hand cream packaged in the same tube. It's perfect for those who are constantly applying hand cream and lip balm throughout the day, because it's one product to keep on hand. We think this is ingenious, really!

  • Lip balm top has a mirror on the top for makeup touchups on the run.

Guide Review - Votre Vu: Duette

Votre Vu: Duette is a 2-in-1 product that should be on your must-have list, especially if you love pampering skin care products. It's a good size bottle of hand cream, but not too big that it wouldn't fit in your hand bag. In fact, we think it's perfect to carry around because if you're anything like us, we're always applying hand cream and lip balm, and digging in our handbags for two products isn't always easy!

The hand cream is an almond and coconut-scented cream that is rich and pampering. The scent and texture of this product reminds us of rich frosting. (It literally smells like you could eat it!) It has a mixture of jojoba oil, grape seed oil and sunflower seed oil that instantly hydrates and nourishes your skin.

The lip balm is a clear, thick lip balm that you apply with your finger. There's a mirror on the top of the lid so you can see your application, but we think this is great add-on for touching up any part of your makeup.

There's just a slight sweet scent to the lip balm, which deeply hydrates with the combination of Palm kernel oil, paraffin, Shea butter and beeswax. What we loved is the fact that our lips didn't just shine, they were obviously plumped full of moisture. And the hydration lasted much longer than most of our lip balms.

Note that while the top cover of the lip balm does close with a nice loud click, it does seem to open quite easily, which, if in your handbag full of other odds and ends, might be a mess.

And if you're looking for a gift for a girlfriend, we think Duette would make a perfect gift!
