THE VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY THREAD

[Sunnysmom]

I know many of us love Victoria Beckham Beauty so I think we need a thread for her line. Would be lovely to see at Sephora! 

[Sunnysmom]

It’s so tricky w bronzers I think @itsfi . I know I’m never fully confident in the shades I pick! 
I agree. I get way too excited with each new launch from her! 😅 Very impressed! 

[Kim888]

Thanks for sharing @itsfi ! I’m happy she’s branched into cheeks!!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, me too. She's been very deliberate in curating her beauty collection. Adding a bronzer to her lineup makes sense and I'm happy she did so - her bronzer collab with Estee Lauder way back was wonderful, and having these in her line is great.

Thanks for the tag, @Sunnysmom , and for starting this thread! I can definitely see VB fitting nicely into Sephora's lineup. 

I'll add a couple of my old swatches for folks who want to see a few things on a "medium-deep to deep" skin tone: 

VBB Posh Lipstick - Pose (eyes are PMG shadows and MUFE liners)VBB Posh Lipstick - PopVBB Lid Lustre in shades Onyx and Midnight.

And gosh, this reminds me I still haven't played with those 2 eyeshadows much. I need to set them next to my usual lid primers so I'll remember to give them full-day tests.

Ooooh ok @WinglessOne, your and @Sunnysmom‘s swatches of Onyx have convinced me I need to try that formula.

How bad does it crease?

[Sunnysmom]

So sorry @eshoe I missed this somehow! Onyx is a little trickier than Mink for me. Maybe not for Wingless 🙂 It depends as to creasing. I definitely have to use a creamy base under any shadow first and then lightly press these on top so I get less fall out , usually with my finger. Onyx still has some fallout however, plus some glittery bits to manage. It does crease somewhat after awhile regardless of what I use, but not too horribly. I can not use it on it’s own or it would crease even more. It’s definitely a cool color though! 😊

[eshoe]

@Sunnysmom this is all very helpful! I’ve noticed every shade I want to try other than this is OOS. Is this common with the brand? I don’t know if I should be checking the site every day or waiting for another three months for a restock🤷🏻‍♀️ Tea Rose and Mink are both so pretty. I am interested in comparisons to the Hourglass Scattered Light formula. Doesn’t seem to fallout too much, but it will; not creamy but it sticks. Sounds like it might be very similar;)

[Sunnysmom]

@eshoeI feel like it’s somewhat similar to Hourglass but VBB is a bit less powdery from when I tried the Hourglass. If I remember right. You could probably make it work really well. Love to hear if you get any. You can sign up to be notified for OOS items. It varies. I don’t think it’s months though in between. Sometimes I notice pieces are in stock for quite awhile and then she must get a surge of business and they’re gone lol. The eye pencils are just fantastic and I got a notice that the cocoa is back in stock now. Really want to pick that up. I can keep my eyeballs out for you too if you let me know what you’re thinking about? Happy to! ☺️

[eshoe]

Ok thank you many times over, @Sunnysmom. I didn’t see a waitlist option but I will be going back. The Onyx is gorgeous I just don’t know how much wear I would get out of it...but I may need it just for it’s beauty 💖 The Minx and Tea Rose are musts because I am certain they would be on a weekly rotation, like the hourglass pots are. The shimmer looks gorgeous, it will be one of my first buys when I finish my no buy next month.

[itsfi]

@eshoe, Cult Beauty and Net a Porter also stock VBB. NAP has a more limited selection of products. Both carry the lid lustres but the shades you are looking for are currently OOS. Onyx is in stock on NAP. Both those sites also have waitlists. For first time orders, with a code, NAP has 10% off and Cult Beauty 15%. You could put yourself on the waitlist at all three sites. I don’t recall how quick her restocks are, but I do find that many of her popular products have a tendency to go OOS around the time that she launches a new product. @Sunnysmom 

[eshoe]

Thank you @itsfi for the VIP intel. I will be a first timer at VBB if I can manage to get those two/three Lustres while in stock! 

Beauty goals😉

[Sunnysmom]

Great idea thanks @itsfi ! 🥰

[Sunnysmom]

Are you signed up to receive their emails and notices etc @eshoe ? Maybe that’s how I’ve gotten them and they’ve happened to be what I was waiting for 😊. In any event I will definitely let you know! 🤗😘 You’ll have to tell me your secrets for using the Hourglass pots also because I’m sure they’ll help me with these! ☺️

[eshoe]

No I haven’t signed up for their emails, @Sunnysmom - but I will. I am probably 1/3 of the way through one Hourglass pot, my favorite, while the others are definitely used but not anywhere near panning. Based on the info to leave the separator in the pot (just like the Hourglass) I am guessing the formula is very similar. 

I use the Hourglass for the center of my lid mainly, but sometimes over the entire lid if I am in a hurry. They don’t crease much, even without a primer. 

[itsfi]

@WinglessOne, that red is stunning on you! 😍

[Sunnysmom]

Oh wow @WinglessOne , thank you, and what gorgeous looks! The red lip is exquisite. Your Onyx looks way better than mine also. Mine has crumbled a lot. But again I’m sure it’s operator error on my part as per usual. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ I would love Midnight. I also so wish she would do a liner in a navy black - that would be amazing. Here’s hoping for more newness soon! Thank you again for sharing! 😘

[blackkitty2014]

Yay! Thx you for starting this thread. Now you can keep us up to date with product releases and recommendations 😘

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @blackkitty2014! 🥰 I wonder when the next new release will be since she just added the new bronzer duos. ( Blush would be in order considering the year it’s having! Lol ) I also received a notice that the lip in Pout is back in stock. Are you trying the bronzer?  I’m holding off until I see some real pictures but I bet it’s very silky.  I think @itsfi was trying it so we’ll see her thoughts on it soon I am guessing. 😊

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom @blackkitty2014, I picked up the bronzer in 02. If I use a light hand for application, I can make it work even though I'm more fair-light at the moment. It'll be a better match when I get a little more color, but it also works nicely for me with a self tanner or DE D-Bronzi. I'm liking it so far - it glides on beautifully and feels soft and smooth. 

The compact has a nice weight to it. It "clicks" shut but it sometimes can take a little extra effort to click it completely shut - it sprung back open a few times. VBB has refills for this bronzer brick, though they haven't been made available for purchase on her site just yet. I may pick up the shade 01 as a refill later in fall/winter. 

[Sunnysmom]

Good to know on the refills @itsfi ! I bet it would be good with the DE. Will keep that in mind as it goes on my list! 🤗The eye compact is the same- tricky to keep it closed tho it’s so luxe/slim and weighty! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, are the eye bricks refillable? If not, I wonder if that might be something she moves to at a later date. 🤔
