Hey Divas!
Last month I received some coupons and angel rewards from Victoria's Secret. For those that don't know... Angel rewards are gift cards you received after you spend so much money using your VS Angel Card. Well I had 2 that I had to use by September 1 or they expired. So I decided to check out the new improved makeup line that they came out with in August.
First I have to say I love the new packaging. New packaging has a clear window in the lid so you cans see the colors. Also they have been reformulated and are more pigmented than the previously line. Instead of 4 uneven squares and rectangles(like previous line), they now have 4 even stripes of colors. Also it no longer has a mirror due to the new lid style. The single eyeshadows are reformulated and more pigmented also. Cost is still about the same.
They also came out with a pro line of makeup that includes a Camouflage FX Concealer Palette and a Lasting FX eyeshadow primer. I plan to try both and do a review.
Christian Siriano for VS Makeup LE Collection
Christian Siriano collaborated with Victoria's Secret and came up with a great collection. The packaging and pigmentation is fabulous. The silky eye shadows are very pigmented and go on smooth not chalky. I picked up three of the five colors, Royalty(Matte Dk. Burgundy), Oasis(Turquoise like color with gold tone), and Sahara(Cream color with peachy tint). The other colors were just as gorgeous, but I have too many pinks and the other one I can pick up anytime(part of regular collection).
The Kajal Eye liner glides on smooth and is a beautiful black-brown color. It is very creamy and worth buying. I may go back for this. The bronzer/highlighter trio is nice and has lots of shimmer. Also the All-over Bronzing powder brush was not as soft as I prefer. The Petite Makeup bag is very fashionable and reminds me so much of C. Siriano's style. If you don't have a cute makeup bag for more fancy events then pick this one up.
Overall great collection. I would suggest checking it out before it is gone.....
