VB olive kajal pencil - looks wrong colour - faulty batch?

17 replies

Has anyone ordered a Victoria Beckham kajal eyeliner in olive recently? Was it ok?

It’s supposed to be a dark green with flecks of shimmer. The one I’ve received has no shimmer and is a sort of charcoal grey!

Just wondering if it’s just me?

Olive doesn't have flecks of glimmer/shimmer but is a more dark green (I would say more forest green than olive myself)

Sequin jewel is a lighter shimmery green.

I ordered, recently, thinking there would be more shimmer. What I received wasn't what I expected based on the ads. First order and I was a bit 'meh', for that reason, despite the product being otherwise good

It is 100% supposed to have shimmer in it. And be green.

Mine is a dark green and has a bit but not much of a shimmer - I love it.

Are they as good as reviews suggest? I’m tempted.

Mine is the bronze and it was also nothing like the one advertised . I like the consistency but not the colour sadly

The shimner ones aren't as glittery as the glitter ones

Ok but it’s not supposed to be a matte charcoal - has anyone else received one from a faulty batch recently?

I love them - I have the Olive/ Cocoa and Fig - the fig doesn't suit me as much as I hoped but they are the colour shown. I have found a tiny amount is needed and then smudged and they last all day. Before these I was using a liquid liner which looked a bit hard.

There are grey ones - is it the wrong one they sent or does it look like it is meant to be green? Have you still got your invoice to see what it says.

Can you add a picture?

No not a matte charcoal. Does it definitely say olive on it?

fairygalaxy · 03/12/2023 20:47

Their customer service is REALLY good if you have need to contact them btw

Startyabastard · 03/12/2023 20:48

I'd send it back, they are quite expensive, so if it isn't as described, I'd get in touch.

Yes they are

My olive one is the colour in the picture above. It's a very definite dark green.
