When I see it I just cannot help myself. Probably if all the not-so-good make-up products out there were presented to me in pink packaging I would have wanted and bought them all! (Silly me!) Well, looks like Victoria's Secret and I think alike. Except these limited edition holiday products adorned in the cutest pink packaging are of superb quality!
I am not new to VS make-up. I've been loving and using their cosmetics for years and have never been let down by any. From eye shadows, to blushes, everything I've used has been nothing short of amazing! So when I saw these babies on Jo's blog (and much thanks to the person who blogged about them before her :)) I knew that I had to check them out in person!
Some of you may know that I've been looking for a highlighter but just haven't been able to make up my mind! When I saw swatches of Love Glow Radiant Face Trio , I knew it'd be perfect for this purpose. I already love it! It has just the right amount of shimmer and gives a really nice glow (which is kind of hard to capture in photos as you will see below, I tried!). It retails for $16.
Celebutante retails for $14 and is a gorgeous nude lipstick. I feel like I'm always reaching for either nudes or pinks so I wanted to check out the other colors first. I just didn't feel the red or the pink so what's a girl to do? Go nude!
To my surprise Celebutante applies like a dream as opposed to most of the super drying nude lipsticks out in the market. It's creamy and has a glossy finish so no need for lip gloss! I would say the color lasts for a good couple of hours.

| Wearing Love Glow & Celebutante |
My eye make-up consists of:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Pots and Pans all over lid
Urban Decay Creep e/s on top of Pots & Pans
Urban Decay Hustle e/s on crease, on lower lash line
Urban Decay Toasted e/s to blend Creep & Hustle
Urban Decay Virgin e/s on brow bone
Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eyeliner on waterline
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara
I had no idea that products from this holiday collection were 2/$25 until I got to the Victoria's Secret store, I always love a good deal! I'm really happy with my purchase, I think they are of top quality but I have to be honest the adorable packaging definitely played a great role in my purchase!
You look fabulous Love, I love both products you got That lipstick is so pretty I want !!!! =)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love your makeup on your last pictures! Can you say Gorgeous! Since I love the "It girl" VS lipstick, I might have to buy these two products myself. Especially, after you and Jo raving about them! :) I still have the $10 Secret Reward and I didn't know what to get, now I know. <3
ReplyDeleteThey both look AMAZING on you! I was starting to get kind of over nude lipsticks but that one looks really warm and flattering. And that highlighter/blush trio looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous, I can definitely see the glow! I looove victoria's secret and now I know what to look for once I go shopping there after Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteYou my dear, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute packaging. I want that lipstick!
OMG, how pretty! I was just at Victoria's Secret today. I didn't see the trio, but did see the lippys . The testers were all gross, so I didn't really play with them, but you are right, the packagaing is super cute. && 2/25$ not bad at all, I wanna go back && look at the lipsticks.
ReplyDeletePS: Love your eyes!

Looks nice on you. I blogged bout the It Girl. Jo and I always influence each other to get things LOL. Im glad you guys liked it though. I don't have the Celebutante lippie yet. I do know the VS by my house has them in stock. I saw them yesterday but ended up grabbing their lip liner in Nude. Which I want to try with the Celebutane l/s!
ReplyDeleteWith the trio thingy, did you swipe through the lightest color or the whole thing? I get tricked out when it comes to the trio blush/bronzers, have no idea how to use them.
No clue about VS makeup, but you are beautiful and your makeup is very pretty as well!!! ;) xx
ReplyDeleteWill you pleeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssssssse let us know what you are wearing on your eyes in the picture? Your shadow looks super gorgeous!! Can't wait! :)
ReplyDelete@ Chloe, thanks love! That lipstick is quickly becoming my fave nude! :)
ReplyDelete@ Miss ♥ Nikka, It Girl looked pretty but for some reason I just didn't feel it :/I remembered you said you were going to check them out at VS the other day, if you didn't already, do it lady! :)
@Tiffany, thanks hunni! I think we all go through those phases, I kind of got over nudes as well but when I saw this...I had to give in! :)
@Jennifer, they are worth it, let me tell you! :) I hope you'll be able to find them, I just checked out the VS website and they only had the red and purple lipsticks left, hopefully they'll have them in your store! :)
@Lais, thank you!! Aren't they adorable? The packaging definitely played a huge role! :)
@Cupcakes and Cosmopolitans, thanks so much for your sweet comment :) I didn't see the trios at first, but the display at my VS has two sides, some were on one side some on the other...bad design on VS's part but I did manage to find them. Hopefully you can too or maybe they were just out of stock?
@PrincessLisax3, OMG!!! It was you who blogged about it first??? YAYYYY! Thanks so much hun, I would have never found out if it wasn't for you as I don't normally check out the make-up section in store and sometimes online! lol I did swipe through the whole thing, I actually did circular motions with the brush so it picks up a little bit of every color, I guess you could use them individually too though? Why not! What I do is, just apply them right on my cheekbones, so right above where you'd apply blush. I didn't care so much about highlighters before I started blogging but now I can see what the hype is all about it, I love the glow they give! :)))
@Tina, thanks so much Tina, you're so sweet! I know VS isn't so popular in Europe but believe me if it was...ahhh you ladies would be all over it!!! :)))
@betherskeekee, Thank you!! :) Sure thing I will add it on the bottom of this post, so if anyone else is interested they can see it as well! :)
