Since the Spice Girl days, Victoria Beckham/Posh Spice has come a long way. A British pop icon turned style icon and now the designer behind her very own label, Victoria is the definition of a strong independent woman.
As someone who’s admired her work, passion for design and work ethic I feel Victoria is the prefect role model for young girls all around the world.
Victorias business plan is a simple one. Give women what they need.
It has worked great for her label and now she’s applying it to makeup! Mrs Victoria, aka VB has now collaborated with cosmetics giant Estée Lauder to bring out a limited edition collection of essentials that every woman needs in her life. A dream come true for all VB fans and makeup addicts alike!
The collection is broken down into 4 looks. Inspired by Victorias favourite cities.

The collection features 14 products ranging from primers to face enhancers, eye & lip products.
Starting with beautiful skin using Morning Aura Illuminating Creme. Part moisturiser, part primer, this is to brighten and give skin a fresh morning glow. Retail price SGD 102.
A must have from the collection would be Modern Mercury. The legendary rose gold highlighter in Estée Lauder’s speciality gelee formula. This product is said to be one of Victorias favourites for creating that sexy sweaty skin look. Glad it’s back and now in this smokin hot VB packaging! Yessss! Retail price SGD 104.For contrast between glowy skin, the collection features a matte bronzer Java Sun. A perfect neutral shade that can be used for a subtle sun-kissed effect, or worn beneath the cheekbones for definition & contour.
For intense sooty black eyes use Black Myrrh. A cream eyeshadow in a pressed gel-cream formula which can be used wet or dry. This densely pigmented product delivers an almost black shade infused with pearl for a sexy look. SGD 70.
The collection also includes two Eye Metals Eyeshadows. Bitter Clove & Charred Emerald. These feature a precious metal finish with densely pigmented colour for strong and sexy eyes. Can be worn alone or layered over Black Myrrh for a high octane finish. Retailing at SGD70.
The collection also debuts a new and innovative product, referred to as Eye Foils. These liquid metal eye enhancers come infused with sparkling pigments & flecks in gold and silver to deliver vinyl like shine even after they dry. Two shades available, Burnt Anise & Blonde Gold. SGD 70.
All makeup junkies are bound to find The Palette containing shades of metallic blue, shimmery copper & charcoal grey irresistible! It’s a nice mix of neutrals with two bursts of colour, just enough to add interest and steer away from the boring. Retailing price, SGD116.
Victoria also takes an everyday staple, kajal liner to come up with her version of a dual purpose liner and brightener. Eye Kajal in Black Saffron/Vanille is a nifty little product for enhancing the eyes by subtle definition and brightening by using the lighter side to outline the lower waterline. Retail price SGD50.
To complete the eye looks, this collection features two lipsticks. Brazilian Nude and Chilean Sunset. Two staples in any woman’s wardrobe. It’s about having the basics to go from day to night. These retail at SGD76.
To achieve Victorias signature nude lip. Use the matte lip pencil in the shade Victoria. Either to outline or completely fill in the lips, a must have from the collection. Retail price SGD50.
Last but not least, for glossy lip lovers there’s a gorgeous warm nude lip gloss Moroccan Heat. Infused with Estée Lauders signature fig scent this gloss can be worn as is or over lipstick for a fuller pout. Retail price SGD50.
Concluding the preview of this collection, what were your favourites? I’m thinking the Modern Mercury highlighter and single shadows are must haves. And of course the nude lipstick Brazilian Nude to achieve Victorias sexy sophisticated pout! Gotta have ’em all to be honest. But at this price range one must prioritise and make that long list…
Collection launch is set for October.
