Have I ever used a nutraceutical lip gloss before? No. So I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I’ve also never used Borba’s products before, so again, not sure if the product would live up to its claims.

Pomegranate is suddenly being seen everywhere, and Inside Out’s scent is pomegranate. It is such a nice pleasant scent (and makes me a little hungry). I was sent two of the three colors in the line; Om and Liquid Sunshine. Om is such a pretty pale pink and Liquid Sunshine is a pretty golden color. I love both colors equally.

The gloss is light and lasts the usual amount of time. I made sure to lick my lips (hey it has vitamins in it) and it has a nice light fruity taste. I’ve been using this product for a few weeks and the amount in the tube is generous and looks like I’ve barely touched it. My lips feel lovely and moisturized when wearing it.

I also received a sample of Borba’s drinkable skincare with it, however, I can’t use it just yet, as their website warns against drinking it when pregnant.

Be sure to check out Maureen Kelly and Scott Vincent Borba on Sunday Feb. 11th on QVC for their live 8-minute segment on Inside Out during QVC’s Beauty Newsmakers program that is shown 6-9pm EST.

Beauty innovators Maureen Kelly of tarte cosmetics and Scott Vincent Borba of BORBA teamed up to make one of life’s inevitables a little more edible.

Doctor’s orders: Beautify from the Inside Out with vitamin-infused lipgloss. The ultimate in double-duty beauty, tarte’s long-lasting, moisturizing lipgloss works to soothe and hydrate lips, while BORBA’s nutraceutical blend delivers powerful skin-caring ingredients. The pomegranate-scented lipgloss is mouth-wateringly gorgeous with its hint of sexy sheen, but it’s the vitamin cocktail that will keep you coming back for more.

This is the first lipgloss that’s actually good for you! So while tarte’s shimmery gloss beautifies you on the outside, BORBA’s nutraceutical blend beautifies you on the inside. Inside Out includes natural ingredients from BORBA’s Age Defying, Replenishing and Clarifying lines:

* Acai & green tea extract help strengthen capillary walls, reduce epidermal irritation and enhance skin’s clarity and radiance
* Grape seed extract & Vitamin C help accelerate production of natural elastin, protecting skin against free-radical damage & restore skin’s clarity
* Vitamins A, E & K act as antioxidants to give you that healthy glow
* Lychee extract promotes long-term skin hydration and chamomile extract soothes skin and helps to counteract redness

Try all 3 shades:

apple-a-day (sheer shimmery hot pink)
om (sheer shimmery nude)
liquid sunshine (sheer shimmery pale pink)

Available at beauty.com come February! Review of it here soon!
