Review: Votre Vu Duette hand creme and lip balm

Duette is a fun and effective hand creme and lip balm set that is almost perfectly packaged

Mmmmm, Votre Vu has come out with a lovely duo that reminds us to moisturize.  Duette is a thick hand creme that sinks in very quickly, leaving a scent of coconut and almonds behind:

But wait, there’s more!  After you’ve slathered the goodness onto your hands, arms (and frankly it is great for the feet), this 3.38 fl oz tube offers a hidden mirror and a .05 fl oz shea lip balm to stay kissable:

What’s Good:

  • Creme is a rich formula that really does the trick for hands
  • The pearlized package tubing is simple yet unique
  • Great summer scent
  • Clever packaging
  • Leaves a velvety, powdery finish that is neither dry nor oily

What’s Bad:

  • Scent is very powerful so use a light hand
  • Lid for lotion (my sample) doesn’t stay shut
  • Tube a little too much for airline carry-on (but is great in purse)
  • Lip balm can get grainy but smooths out

What’s Different:

  • Great year round product that is appropriate for gifting. Get your best gal pals or MIL a tube!

I find myself reaching for this product often.  Duette is available at Votre Vu’s website.

    Thanks for the reply Traci. I worry the additional lip balm would make TSA nervous, and I would hate to lose such a lovely cream. As a multi-purpose item it is great and functional.

    Hi Hillary,

    Thanks for the review. I use my all the time too. I find it frustrating that even thought the FAA regulation for a carry-on is 3.4 oz (http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm) I would not take the chance of someone taking my hand cream. 🙂 That dry cabin air really makes me miss it though.
