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! 

[curlychiquita]

Ah, well, maybe the board is acting up, then. I do own one Gucci sheer lipstick and definitely want to try a matte one! @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

That’s random @curlychiquita . I’ve had some disappear afterwards! And I’ve not gotten notices today I am seeing. Are you? ( Off topic sorry! ). Yes I can see why you would like lipsticks more too. Mine are such a pale I don’t know what shade. Lol you’d think any of these tints would show more. But nope. Yours always look amazing! 💞

Almost forgot i posted the bronzer in shade 2 to my IG yesterday (anne.visca). I really like the formula. I feel like it appears lighter in the pan / than i thought it would be (i just assume VB looks darker than me and uses this shade lol) but was fine when i blended the two shades together. I would have loved something a bit deeper but i think 3 would be too much so it’s fine to build the color.  

*i also I have two of her lipsticks in girl and spice (for obvious reasons ha ha) and her lip liners in 1 & 2. Swatches also on my ig not too far down. The lipsticks are nice and hydrating , one of those formulas i like to top a matte lipstick or even now that masks are starting to dissipate i can see myself reach for them more. Her lipliners have become one of my faves since there a good in between a CT & vieve formula. 

[Sunnysmom]

Great to know @aviscardi , I will look them up or you could post them here for anyone too maybe? I’ve debated her bronzer. The lips feel wonderful that’s for sure! 💞

[curlychiquita]

That's helpful to know, @Sunnysmom. My lips are pretty pigmented naturally so I have a different problem - subtle lip products don't show up very well. 

[Sunnysmom]

Oh man I’m so jealous @curlychiquita but I can see your challenge too! 🥰 What’s your perfect shade/ category? 

[curlychiquita]

@Sunnysmom here is my small but mighty Victoria Beckham Beauty makeup collection! The lipstick set is Spice, Pose, and Pout; the lip liner is 02. I thought I would like Pose the best, but as you can see, I've worn the tops off of Spice and Pout. I think Spice is my favorite on me. Of course, you know I love all thing Augustinus Bader including this tinted priming moisturizer.

@curlychiquita, small but mighty and beautiful VBB collection! 😍 How do you like her lip liner? I continue to go back and forth on whether to pick one up. 

[curlychiquita]

@itsfi I like the tone of the lip liner with these lipstick colors, although if you have a similar Charlotte Tilbury color, you won't need this one. They're the same quality-wise.

[itsfi]

Ah, I see @curlychiquita! That’s good to know. I have a couple of mini CT liners I picked up as gwps. This intel saves me $$.  Thank you! 😊 

[Samtian]

@curlychiquita Those a pretty!

[curlychiquita]

Thank you, @Samtian! 

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks for showing us , I love it all @curlychiquita !🥰 This is all we need ever, great lippies , the best liner and illuminated moisturizer! 💞

[itsfi]

Yes!!! 😊 A VBB thread! Great idea @Sunnysmom! Thanks so much for starting this and for the tag! I have a lot of love for the Victoria Beckham Beauty collection and 100% agree that it would be wonderful if Sephora carried the line. 💖

I recently picked up her new Matte Bronzing Brick and have been playing with it for a few days. I debated over shades 01 and 02 and ended up getting 02. It's described on her site as "a warm tan duo for light to medium skin tones" and that is an apt description. I'm probably more fair-light at the moment; 02 is a bit more warm for me, but it can be made to work with a light hand, or when I'm wearing something like DE D-Bronzi. I may pick up 01 in the refill later in the year, maybe in the fall / early winter. Formula on this one is nice; powder is buttery, applies smoothly and easily. There's just the tiniest bit of kickup to the powder; the tiniest bit. Weather / lighting wasn't cooperating for photos but if I can get a better pic of swatches later this week, I'll post again.

@itsfi do you have any thoughts comparing VBB bronzer to your new Wayne Goss bronzer? Curious if I WAS to happen to try one. ☺️🙄

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, I like the VBB as all around bronzers. I think the lighter shade in the WG palette would work well as a light topper over either of the VBB shades, to add a little sheen to them. The darker shade in the WG palette I like as a contour - I'm actually hoping he releases a few of the shades in his palettes as singles. I'll try to remember to swatch both palettes together this weekend; that might be more helpful - though I'm sure that even if they look similar, I'll tell you that they are different enough to need both. Ha! 😁

[Sunnysmom]

Ha ok @itsfi sounds great ! 😂 They both sound really nice plus versatile. I hope they are done in singles also. Baby steps and bronzer 101! 🥰

[curlychiquita]

The swatches look beautiful, @itsfi! I think 02 looks pretty good on you, although I realize we're seeing it on your arm.

[itsfi]

Thank you @curlychiquita! The more I use these bronzers the more I get the hang of them. 😊 I’ll see how mixing them together works out too. I have her tinted priming moisturizer so that may pair nicely with these bronzer for a low key, minimal makeup look on the weekends. 

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @itsfi ! 🥰 Ooh this is so pretty. Glad you like it and your descriptions and swatches are super helpful! It does look so soft! 💞

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, I was initially a little nervous picking up the 02 shade 😬, but as you said, they do have a soft effect to them and I like that the color can be built up. That will definitely be helpful. I continue to be impressed with the pieces that she releases. 😍
