Page 3 | 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 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.

Yes smokey quartz would look nice. I found a review on YouTube where someone went through them all and she had brown eyes.

How the hell do you sharpen them though? It's gorgeous eye liner but I can't sharpen mine, it just rotates in the sharpener (the correct VB one) does anyone else have this same problem?

They are an absolute shit to sharpen and are never as good once they have been done. Really let's them down. It's not you, they are that shite.

There's also a navy noir that would look good but I know a lot of people don't like navy

I am waiting( impatiently) for the olive one I ordered last week.
I am just hoping EVRI don't lose it 🙏

I thought of Navy, but worried it would look at bit outdated.

No. I was so pissed off j has spent that much money

WinterNamechange · 27/11/2023 20:42

Why not get a year's supply of Avon Glimmersticks for the same money - I've tried the VB ones and the Avon ones are fine in comparison..

Because Avon is a toxic mlm

I love the VB eyeliners. They smudge out beautifully and last all day. I'd have said I was useless at doing eye make up, but I can do a great job with these. Well worth the cost, I feel.

BrassicaBabe · 27/11/2023 22:58

I've just spent more than is reasonable 🤦‍♀️ some replacements to stock up and some new shades.

I've found to my cost that some of the darker ones are WAY too dark for me -pale skin, hazel eyes and 50 🙄 the dark greens and blues weee terrible no matter how beautiful they look on the model.

I've stuck with bronze, caramel, etc

Back21970 · 27/11/2023 23:13

I bought Ash few months back and love the texture and colour, more flattering on me than black, however I also have trouble sharpening and won’t repurchase.

The Avon ones are not a good dupe in my opinion - texture much harder and doesn’t blend as well.

Anyone tried the white water liner one?

Oxonc3 · 27/11/2023 23:16

She is listening and stalking me…. Not so bothered about the white liner, doesn’t need to smudge so a cheapo one is fine

Well I went for it in the end - olive, fig and sequin green instead of the smoky quartz!

You well and truly influenced me! I went for Olive, Smoky Quartz and Bordeaux. Didn't even need a new eyeliner, never mind three...

Just seen a FB ad for her lipstick - £37!!! I used to love a luxury make up brand but something changed in my shopping habits in recent years and I've discovered you can get nearly the same quality for much much less. Wish I'd discovered this before wasting thousands on makeup.

This generally has always been the case, but high end make up brings joy to many and some things can't be replicated.

I just spent £34 including postage on a VB mascara, purely because it’s the only mascara I can find that doesn’t have a particular allergen in it.
My eyes are not red and weeping for the first time in years.
For that reason alone alone I’m feeling well-disposed towards VB and think you should buy the eyeliners.
My normal mascara purchases are £5 and under so it was a big decision for me.

What is the allergen? I don't use mascara now as my eyes were so sensitive.

Floofydawg · 29/11/2023 06:53

@BusterGonad oh I know, and I'm not begrudging anyone else spending money on whatever that want (I own several designer handbags). I guess I was just reflecting on my changing spending habits.

I always used Avon glimmersticks, but have since found the cheapo Essence roll up even better. And cheaper!

How long will it take you to use up 3 OP? And do you have the 60gbp going spare right now?

(I am newly motivated after being on the having too much thread ,🤭)

I think I have the Essence one too, I love the ones that you don’t have to use a pencil sharpener with. It’s great.

Don’t waste that £60

ChoupetteTheCat · 29/11/2023 07:06

I've been using the essence eyeliners for a couple of years. They last all day.

I get them from Just My Look.

pumpkintits · 29/11/2023 07:58

No, they are nice but my Rimmel eyeliner does exactly the same thing.

I have 2 VB eyeliners, they are so soft so get blunt really quickly meaning I have to sharpen loads. And on one of them the lid refuses to stay on meaning it comes off, the liner gets broken off and I have to sharpen it (again!) Repeat frustrating cycle.
