You know the ones, full of their shiny lip glosses, balms, and eye makeup. Next to the shelves with travel size lotions and perfumes?? Ya THOSE ones. I was a marketing major in college and know all the tricks, yet this particular one always work on me.
and Gold Rush
shades. I just HAD TO HAVE THEM. Nevermind the excessive makeup hoard I have at home (see exhibit A here). They were on sale from the usual 2 for $12 to 5 for $20. Hello good deal! I had to find some other items to go with it for my great deal and chose black mascara, shadow in Plum Crazy
(a dark purple with lots of shimmer and a hint of blue), and blue eyeliner to complete the deal. I've been using these two particular shades almost everyday. They look great by themselves, together and paired with other shadows. I especially like to put Gold Rush on top of my cheeks for some extra shine.
Pros:
-Very pigmented, looks the same on as they do in the package or when you swipe the color on your hand
-Last all day without fading or creasing
-Blends well
-Depending on the color, is versatile enough to use on your cheeks for some shimmer (the white or pink shades would also look cute on your cheeks)
-Great price! Even without the sale deal each shadow is only $7.50, a great medium for drugstore buys vs other counter makeup brands
Cons:
-Nothing that I can think of...except it's not available anywhere else but Victoria Secret (obvi)
Here is Gold Rush on my entire lid with Bronzinger in my crease:
IDK why it's so shimmery in the first pic, but not in the second. It's really shimmery in real life like the first pic, but the color is truer to life in the 2nd pic. So just imagine the two pictures combined in real life.
How it looks on my cheeks, see that extra shine on the apples?
Here's Plum Crazy with Gold Rush in my inner corner and as a highlighter.
Yay! I'm so glad I bought these shadows on a whim, they've turned out to be a great addition to my makeup bag. I'm also pretty stoked I was able to get this post done today. I hate not being on schedule!
Anyways, have any of you tried any Victoria Secret makeup? What was your experience? Have you tried any new brands in general?

love, love, love the shadows. You always have the best make-up and you apply it so well!
those colors look great on you. great purchase!
Those look great on you! I have been wanting to try out some VS makeup. I love the lipglosses but haven't tried anything else. I have some time to kill tomorrow after work (also meeting a friend for dinner! lol) so maybe I'll hit up the mall as well and check these out!
NIIIICE!!! I've been hesitant on buying the shadow @ VS even though I love the lip gloss (Watermelon is the best!) But now I will have to try it...Thanks for the great product reviews, keep them coming!
lovely!! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm sorry I'm reading your posts so much later in the week. Like you I've been traveling weekends and with all my accident crap going on (doctor, appointments) I have had no time.
Let me just say that I'm doing a small fall shopping trip this weekend and my behind is going to VS! I love the plum one. Sold! I already have a couple just like the other 2 colors so I'll skip them, but I need a good plum color! Thanks lady! You're so becoming my makeup guru.
