Is Victoria Beckham Beauty Worth The Hype?

I’ve been meaning to get my hands on Victoria Beckham Beauty for blooming ages, so I purchased a few items for my birthday treat.

I was curious by the lipsticks, eye-liners and lipglosses. Although the whole collection looks dreamy.

I played it quite safe with my colour choices, neutral pink-nude lippys for every-day wear, and a black eye-liner. Although I did buy a beautiful shimmery green eye-liner to pair with my brown eyes – that’s about as daring as I went.

Firstly, I’m not usually won over by celebrity beauty launches with the exception of a few, such as Selena Gomez’ Rare Beauty brand – that I adore. Any who, Victoria Beckham always looks so put-together and has been known for her infamous pout, so I was really intrigued by her beauty collection.

When the products arrived they came in a beautiful bag and super gorgeous minimal packaging – black typography and off-white packaging. It’s worth noting that the lipgloss and lipsticks are pretty heavy to hold but I like that the packaging feels premium and classy. I love the little details of subtle tortoiseshell too.

I loved the look of ‘Pout’ and ‘Twist’ out of the lipsticks online, to me they are the perfect every-day-wear shades and once applied, they are, oh so very moisturising. They feel like a lip-balm, gloss and lipstick in one. I wore Twist a lot when I went to Madrid and to a gothic wedding recently (pictured below). I do find these lipsticks really lovely to wear, although I do need to keep topping up through-out the day.

‘Twist’ reminds me of an old discontinued MAC lipstick that I loved back in the day, ‘Bare Again‘ if anyone remembers? However ‘Twist’ is a slightly darker nude.

The posh gloss I went for was ‘Fizz’, a lovely subtle pink-nude shade with a slight shimmer. I’m wearing it below, without any lip-liner or lipstick, just the gloss.

I have to say I’m really impressed with the gloss I chose, it doesn’t feel sticky, it’s really comfortable to wear and I do love the colour.

Moving on to the eye-liners. I’ve been wearing the black satin kajal liner every-day on my water-line since I purchased it. It is a really thick pigmented eye-liner, you have to be careful sometimes as it can smudge easily and it’s quite hard to remove as it’s so so pigmented. I also tend to top-up my eye-liner around three times a day.

I haven’t used the shimmery green eye-liner as much, but it’s so so pretty. It might get a lot of wear during the festive season.

Overall, I would say the products that I purchased are most definitely all worth the hype and I’ve been getting a lot of wear out of all of the products, minus one. I think they are really great quality, the packaging is luxe and I’m intrigued to try more.

It’s worth mentioning that I have massively reduced my beauty consumption for a few years, I’m trying to use what I have without buying anything else, although these VB pieces felt like a real treat to buy. And I’m usually a creature of habit with what I wear on my face, so it felt refreshing to try some new beauty items.
