Do I want (need?) three Victoria Beckham eyeliners?

It’s a very good discount indeed - three for £60.

At the same time - it’s a heck of a lot to spend on three eyeliners! 😁

Are they really as amazing as the reviews say they are?!

I love mine. I bought a cheap dupe but it wasn’t the same softness and smudginess. I just got one in the sale today. A christmas pressie for myself 😍

I've just ordered the olive eyeliner, cheeky little present for myself because I'm in a shit mood and am sick of everything. Envy

are you sure? the email I received at the start of this year only mentioned price increases, nothing about increasing the size of products.

Yes the ones I ordered last week and received on Friday are definitely noticeably longer. They have also reduced the size of the cloth bags.

Frankly they could reduced their prices if they didn't provide these!

I have the cocoa one ( blue eyes, fair skin) what's a best second colour?

Sea Grey.

But don’t limit yourself - do what I’ve done, save up and buy them all 😂 (have had them as birthday and Christmas presents too). I love them. I used to use Pixie and loved the colours but they are just too harsh and hard for my skin as I’ve got a bit older, VB glide on beautifully and they are so easy to smudge with no skills whatsoever!

missfliss · 27/11/2023 16:25

Sea grey ordered :-)

Oxonc3 · 27/11/2023 17:00

Yes, my cheap dupe would be fab for my teenage daughters but these old eyes need the posh version for the softness

NeedWineNow · 27/11/2023 18:16

I got the Cocoa and Fig for my holiday. They are lovely, glide on easily and smudge well. I might be tempted by the grey one....

Being a nerd I checked the two I bought prior to the price rise (one was £22 including sharpener and the other was £20 without sharpener) and they're both 1.2 g. And the liners currently for sale at £30 each are also 1.2g. I get that production costs have increased for most industries but a 33% increase is still quite a hike considering the product has remained the same size.

Does anyone else remember when they sold Gosh velvet touch eyeliner in the UK? I am sure that was a dead ringer for the VB kajal.

flowerygloves · 27/11/2023 19:02

Absolutely. 3. I like the cinnamon shade. Cocoa and sea grey but there are so many to choose from

Well if you are someone who wears eyeliner frequently enough then if you only have one it will run out eventually and you’ll need to buy more. You could think of this like buying an extra large pack of toilet roll so you’re all stocked up for the longer term?

Edited

I like this approach

TeeBee · 27/11/2023 19:16

Well I have two of them and I'm thinking of buying another...so I'm in the yes camp. They are really good.

cheeseandbiscuitsplease · 27/11/2023 19:18

I've just got the gold one. It's beautiful, goes on brilliantly. All her products are excellent on my skin. I'm 51. I'm a total convert. The mascara is lovely too. I have the highlighter, lip liner and 2 cream blushes. All worth the money, last all day.

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 27/11/2023 19:26

I've asked DP to add them to my Christmas list but now I'm panicking he won't buy me any and I'll have missed out! 😳

TheKnittedCharacter · 27/11/2023 19:29

They are nice, but not nice enough to justify the price. And you can’t sodding sharpen them.

SmithfamilyRobinson · 27/11/2023 19:29

Yes from me too. I have the grey (brown eyes with grey outer ring). Also have brown & black for seasonal variation (and thinking about it the gold for summer).
All products are fab including skin care (although very spendy).
Have ordered fragrance samplers and mascara with the discount.
Definitely buy the sharpener with the product.

MabelMoo23 · 27/11/2023 19:29

They are excellent. Bloody love VB make up, the liners are the best out there

flowerygloves · 27/11/2023 19:32

Ooh and I have Ash too which is a nice grey

toinfinityandbeyond · 27/11/2023 19:35

I've got the cocoa shade, and I love it. I'm tempted by the Olive shimmer, but can anyone recommend any other colours for my eye color, please? Their website says fig, but that's a bit daring for me.

mrstea301 · 27/11/2023 19:36

I ordered sea grey for myself and olive for my sister - more than I would usually spend but it's a treat for my sister and I really fancied trying them ( absolute sucker for marketing) but I don't buy makeup that regularly!)

Whats your eye colour?

snowfootsteps · 27/11/2023 19:44

I'm in the Yes camp. Have the Ash, Cocoa and Olive and now bought the Amethyst. I have no problems sharpening them but my smudgers seem to fall off and then get stuck in the lids.

I'm also bought the fragrance discovery kit (having had the samples which are really just the type you get in magazines) and a mascara.

Thanks for flagging.

I deleted that from my original post! That would be helpful! I've got dark brown eyes. I was tempted by smoky quartz and would have bought cinnamon, but it's out of stock.
