Yes To Miracle Oil Argan Lip Oil and Primrose Lip Oil
So the Yes To Miracle Oil Argan Oil Mud Mask and Primrose Oil Mud Mask have been available at Ulta for about a month now, but I didn't know there were also lip oils in this new line, did you? Christopher spotted these at Walmart last week. The retail price at Drugstore.com is $4.99 (0.12 oz.) so I'm guessing the Walmart price is a bit lower. I loved the Yes To Coconut Cooling Lip Oil (click here for my review) so I'm optimistic about these!

Christopher also spotted the new Yes to Miracle Oil Argan Oil and towelettes at Walmart last week. The towelettes are on the Target website for $5.99 (30 sheets) and the Argan Oil is also on the Target website for $12.99 (1.0 oz.).
I also noticed that there are Yes to Miracle Oil Primrose Cleansing + Moisturizing Facial Wipes on the Target website for $5.99 as well.

eos Active Protection Fresh Grapefruit Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 30
Over at Walgreens, Christopher spotted this new eos lip balm with SPF 30. As far as I know, the only other current eos lip balm with SPF is Lemon Drop, and that one contains SPF 15. So this is great news if you love eos and want a higher SPF, right? This lip balm is currently on sale at Drugstore.com for $2.99 (reg $3.29).

Secret Scent Expressions Clear Gel in Macaroon Delight
And last but certainly not least, longtime reader Jennifer (@rockgirlmaxim84 on Instagram) kindly shared this pic of the new Secret Scent Expressions scent in Macaroon Delight that she spotted out in the wild recently (it's also available in Invisible Solid for $4.39 at Target).
One of my pet peeves is when people misuse the word "macaroon". Macaroons are a type of cookie made with coconut (similar to haystacks). A macaron is a type of french pastry that has the structure of a sandwich (a top, bottom, and filling the middle). Clearly, Secret is referring to macarons here (see image on label) but they're calling them macaroons. Ugh. Sorry--that just bugs me because it's not a macaroon!
At any rate, I love macarons (correctly spelled or otherwise) and this deodorant looks so fun to me. Have you tried it yet? Thoughts?
Thanks again, Christopher and Jennifer, for the great sightings and pics. I really appreciate it!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteI was super for a second thinking it was macaroon (aka coconut scented) but then I saw your comment, noticed the picture on front and realized it's probably just vanilla scented (macaron). Utter disappointment.
ReplyDeleteSecret has a coconut deodorant! It's called Coconut Splash. :)
DeleteI have the Macaroon Delight deodorant and it smells like a sweet vanilla, maybe with a touch of coconut. Mostly a sweet vanilla scent.
DeleteGah! Grapefruit EOS?? *grabby hands* and those are my all time fav deodorants - I just bought some online and paid a small ransom to ship them to the UK. Will be worth it. I also saw a Black EOS online? Ay more on that?
ReplyDeleteI must have the new grapefruit eos!! Hopefully it pops up at Walgreens soon...I saw the black eos on Walgreens.com and Drugstore.com and the description said it is a pearl shimmer but it didn't say what scent/flavor it is. Walgreens.com said it was in stock at my local store so I am going to swing by and check it out! Can you tell I am addicted to EOS? It's a problem.
DeleteI am soooo with you on the macaroon/macaron thing! Glad I'm not the only one that gets pissy about that. ;)
ReplyDeleteMe too. I saw this deodorant at Walmart and I wondered what it smelled like? G is right about Macaroons being made with coconut but a Macaron can be any flavor, really. I took the cap off to see if I could get a whiff but it also has a protective seal so I couldn't smell anything. I find it utterly fascinating that P&G's marketing dept. or really anyone involved in the making of this deodorant didn't catch this mistake.
DeleteI'm right there with you, too. I tried explaining the difference to some family members one time, and they just couldn't care less. Haha...
DeleteOK, I'm going to hunt down the lip oils, and the Secret Deodorant!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG I have been hoping for a Burt's Bees Strawberry balm for ages!! I hope it has the consistency of mango and isn't greasy.
ReplyDeleteThat macaron vs macaroon argument is as old as time & it bothers the crap out of me too. :)
ReplyDeleteIf totally forgotten about hose pitted Burt's Bees lip balms! I used to sell the line at an indie gift shop when it was pretty new on the scene. I used my potted lip balm so hard!!!
ReplyDeleteSomeone please let me know if that Burt bees strawberry lip balm is similar to the old one that was in a glass jar! I want to know if it still has that strawberry taste to it
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have an idea where these lip oils maybe be displayed at Walmart? Looked in cosmetics and the lip balm section yesterday. Came up empty.
ReplyDeleteStopped at Target yesterday and here's my take on Burt's Bees Strawberry and the Macaron/Macaroon from Secret:
ReplyDeleteI too was excited for Strawberry from Burt's Bees. I usually LOVE strawberry lip products. This one? Not so much. When I open the top, I don't get any strawberry scent. I got really, really close, and whatever smell it is, it's not strawberry. The consistency isn't as solid as their original formula, it's a little smooshy if you will. It goes on just fine, but it's more like it's coming from a pot than a tube. On the lips, there isn't any noticeable strawberry scent or taste. What I do get is waxy oddness. So much so that here I am trying it again, and I am going to get up from my keyboard now and TAKE IT OFF! Seriously, I just did and now I'm back. So, this one is a total no-go for me. If I remember to take it with my on my next Target run, I'll return it. Such a bummer as I love Burt's Bees, especially their new CC cream.
For the deodorant...a comment above said it would most likely be vanilla, and it is, but not what you'd think. When I think vanilla in the cosmetics/body care world, I think vanilla candles and such, the "here's your vanilla from a lab" smell. Now I love this type of vanilla, but I like this deodorant even better. Why? Because it smells like vanilla extract. That amazing smell we cherished as kids when cupcakes and cookies would be our next meal. The one we loved soooooo much we just HAD to taste it even though our moms warned us against it. (And then we did and were soooooo confused.) So, Secret's macaron/macaroon is scented like baking vanilla. It's unexpected and completely welcome. Now I smell like a cookie vs. a candle. I'll take it!
ReplyDeletethe ytc lip oil has been my holy grail (thanks to you) , so i'm excited to try the new ones !
the packaging is super cute .
HA! The macaroon/macaron thing stuck out to me like a sore thumb. That being said, I may still give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you post about the shimmer EOS lip balms? I've been seeing many posts of them on Instagram!
ReplyDeleteThese?
