Excellent review! I absolutely love her makeup, I'm 47 and definitely in her demographic. I think it's designed for women of my age with disposable income, who want uncomplicated, flattering, well designed products that have that feeling of quality and glamour. I've found all the products I've tried to be excellent, and I have nearly all the eye shimmers, and I think they are all the same formula. They feel and perform very consistently with each other.
@hautemess tom I think you would like the black and maybe the old gold colour. I've found them all to be similarly sparkly, but many of the other colours are lighter, so maybe the sparkle just doesn't photograph the same way.
I absolutely love these long-term reviews. First impressions don't really do anything except make us want to buy things, but this type of review where you have lived with the products for a few months actually include valuable information. Plus I just love the way you talk about things. I feel like you could narrate paint drying and it would be entertaining LOL Also, I love living vicariously through your make-up purchases 💗
They're my favorite kind of reviews to do too! I just love really getting to spend time with them before I'm speaking on them. I feel more comfortable talking about them. Like I think if I had reviewed the VB blush in my first week I would've given it a much better review! But having spent time with it I realized I wasn't reaching for it as much as some of the other items and that way I could be like "Yeah I didn't reach for this a lot so it gets a "Meh" from me." xx
Tom! Tom!! The outro! Your intros! I need as much of you being your full self as you have the space to give! Love your beautiful, creative, and hilarious light!
I can't! The outro and honestly this whole series has been really enjoyable- very impressed over here. Re: Clean beauty, my take is that VB is green washed by ingredient standards but is clean (or green) by packaging (both product and shipping) standards. Perhaps the line is formulated to exclude some super toxic ingredients but is not clean by the standards that the indie/artisanal clean beauty movement is looking for. Kind of like "clean at Sephora" is "clean". Regarding the skinny lipstick bullets - I prefer that shape for my smaller pockets and slim slots in my purse or clutch.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, I don't really pay attention to the claims. I just know they claim to be clean beauty but I know that means something different to everybody! And the thing about the lipstick, it wasn't so much that it was thin, there was just nothing on the one side to grab onto! So my finger was always clenching both sides when I was only trying to clench one and that cap was always fighting me! I have an hourglass confession lipstick and I LOVE that packaging. Slim and sleek!
Hi Tom. The bronzer is magnetic. I bought the refill only to save $$ and put it in a kitpak palette I already owned. I love creating my own face and eye palettes so I often only buy the refill version of products.
I don't know why it never dawned on me to try to pop it out. Since the brand already sells refills I was just like "it must actually be refillable" lol! Thank you for informing me! I actually almost bought just the refill when they launched to do similar but I withheld at that time. xx
Oh my goodness, Tom this was the best!! I love your reviews in general but I really loved this one!! Your outro. Your apologies over the primer. YOUR EYE LOOK. It was all impeccable. Thank you!! P.S. I've recently discovered Victoria Beckham myself so all of this was very timely. I have 2 lid lusters in Mink and Velvet (mmmm) and the bronzing brick in 03. LOVE. Looking forward to growing my collection over time. P.P.S. I really hope Victoria Beckham herself sees your video and says, "Hold onto your knickers, marketing team, They're FABULOUS and we need to offer them Affiliate status IMMEDIATELY!" 💖
One of the very few people I take seriously on YT. I am ordering a couple of the eyeliners, mulling over Brick in Royal and Lid Lustre.. (Charlotte’s eyeliners might induce harm if one wants to line the waterline, so waxy, first hand experience) and very spot on clean beauty and everything about “clean” 💯✔️
I have VB Tea Rose in the lid lustre, and I love it! It's sparkly and smoldery in a pinkish purple way. I love it. I'm going to finally go for a VB floss after this.
I am feeling totally influenced and fighting the urge to buy the primer because I already dish out my $230 on the A. Bader creams!!!!!! Gosh I wish I could compare lol. Also you look divine. You said you felt gorgeous with the eye shadow and sexy and I am here to say yes, yes you do! Love this look so much!!! (I also loved and laughed with you)
The way you attributed the non magical quality of the Cheeky Posh blush was SPOT ON. Like it’s good, but not magical and you nailed that note. As always I adore your big reviews like this and THIS one in particular was stupendous.
Hi Tom! I've been backtracking on your videos & absolutely love this one! You are so entertaining. My fave part is at the end with the VB doll & you impersonating her! 🤣🤣🤣 The best! 🤩
Posh Spice was my fashion ICON at 6 and I'm still a big fan of her vibe but Victoria Beckham beauty seems like a bougifying of staple pieces to me rather than oh my GOD E-ssentials. Your smooth dewy bare brow ridge makes me want to shave my brows off again so bad. Absolutely crushing grunge non-gender-specific hottie vibes (as a they/them whos been addicted to makeup youtube for like 15 years). Kackie sent me but ya'll SENT me. Congrats on the eloquence, the humor, and the cool face. Will be coming back for next vid.
I can definitely see that as an angle too! No brand is going to be for everyone! And thank you so much! I don't want my brows back ever. I want to be like 80 with my brow skin sagging over my eyes bald as ever living my best life. And thank you so much for coming over on her recommendation!! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed!! xx
RIP Tweed Mirror 🥹😅 No "Ring of Death" CHECK! MINX: "I want to swim in it" Priming moisturizer in Golden: It is pure want for me. I don't know what it does, I like what the product is listed to do, but I love how it looks on my skin. Yes, unashamedly, I will repurchase. It makes me happy and since it makes me happy........it's a NEED 😁😉 Enjoyed watching 🖤 I do enjoy my VBB Minx, satin kajal liners and bronzer. P/s: i agree that all shades of the lid Lustre are not created equal. I decluttered about 5 and kept just minx. It's preference and being honest with myself of which i use the most. I'm lusting over the newer olive green one🫣.
That Augustus Bader skincare line is available at Sephora, have you tried any of that? Wonder if they have a primer as well? I just noticed the name and if they do, maybe worth checking out as Sephora does sales much more often and you get points to apply for a discount too
My VB lip gloss completely separated after 3 applications in 3 months (that includes the swatch). I am so bummed cause otherwise I would have "collected" them for the reasons you mentioned here. I LOVE Lid Lustres and Bronzing Brick is on my list. I like that this brand is expanding so carefully. I would love to see some powder blushes from VB.
I made the mistake of trying the golden primer and I have to say, I freaking loved it, not only as a primer, but I would sometimes just put that on with a little blush and mascara, and eye make up and go and my skin would look just blurred and perfected. That price tag though ouch.
@@hautemesstom once you try the mascara ooof you’re done for! It’s honestly amazing and I don’t even normally like tubing mascaras! She’s gone and done something with this brand it’s amazing!
i love your potential plan for the bronzer - perfectly seasonal:). i really wish vb would release a brown but not with *gold* shine lid luster! and i hate that i'm seriously eyeing her new eye stick in pecan -- but i love& use eye sticks, and pecan looks like such an amazing tone! that i do not have. siiiighs. LOVE your reviews
Love VBB but if you haven’t tried the Skin Nova primer from Vieve I highly recommend trying it out before repurchasing that ridiculous expensive VBB primer😇😅💞
That's the thing! I don't blame people for thinking it's an unnecessary step! I think where primer most comes into play is if you do your makeup a long time after you skin care. If you have just washed your face done your skin care and moisturized, your skin is going to be pretty well prepped for makeup. If it's been hours a primer preps your skin for makeup. Some primers mattefy shine, some make you dewy, I think it all depends on what your skin is like before putting on makeup!
@@hautemesstom don’t! I will wait a bit and see what shades there are; I will consume responsibly! I have tried the tiny mini size of the Bobbi brown vit E cream, and it’s ok, but the smell is too strong for what I like in my products, I was glad they offered the 7ml size, I think it’s respectful towards customers. I also bought the Sonia G bronzer brush and love it, though not everyday, sometimes I like more precision.
@@hautemesstom totally! I have some smokey colors I can test it out on me, but what is appealing to me is that it looks like it leans purple, or at least has purple sparkles which is my favorite color to wear eyeshadow-wise.
Eh, there are plenty of cheap glosses that perform just as well, I don't get that weird gathering around the lips with Undone Beauty or even Nyx's milky glosses 🤷♀️ I do not like Colourpop glosses, though, and recently got a couple of Lancome L'absolu glosses that were just okay. The L'absolu Drama Ink liquid lipstick is good, though, and I haven't been able to wear liquid lipstick in years because most are too drying.
😂 I am DYING inside! I hate you for confirming what I already knew to be true... that I will have to try the primer for myself! 😅 And the kajal liners are the other products I was most interested in. Come on SALE! For the record, I forgive you 🖤

Yeah it’s perfectly serviceable but I don’t think anyone would be wowed by it!
I used shade 04 in the bronzing brick and I totally agree. She nailed it with the shades, they’re so very unique.

😂😂 well thank you for the mood boost today with that special guest! I may pick up one of those eyeliners in the future they do seem lovely.
lolol, can you believe she had the time to "Stop" by?! eh eh?!!?!
The outrooooo!!! I’m dyiiinnggg😂😂😂

Wait until you try the golden for summer!!! There are just no words

Love the content you make~. Thank you for putting in all this work into the video!
The eye liner was a little too creamy for me. The lip gloss is very good. My favorite is Chanel as they have shimmers but VB is a excellent formula.
I’ve never been a Smokey eye girly but Mink might make me risk it all 🤔
It’s very pretty! But maybe do some sparkly smoky eyes before buying to see if you’d realistically use it!
@@hautemesstom totally! I have some smokey colors I can test it out on me, but what is appealing to me is that it looks like it leans purple, or at least has purple sparkles which is my favorite color to wear eyeshadow-wise.

If you get the black lid lustre, i think its called onyx, can you show close up swatches of it?

Your outfit is amazing today! 🤩😻
thank yewwww!
Well you are just sooo wonderful 🥰 I had to stop the video just to say that 😂
Thank you!!!
You look gorgeous in all three or your VB videos (well you always do but especially so in these)
thank youuuuu!!
Came for the review. Stayed for Victoria's surprise appearance.
😂😂
OMG YESSSS THE MUNA REFERENCE ‼️‼️
I love them so much.
Btw, you need to do eye liner more often, you have no idea how much it makes your eyes pop on video, fabulous look ❤️
Lol! Jean I line my eyes in almost every look, it's this eyeliner that's doing the trick! I swear!
@@hautemesstom okay, VB for the win! ❤️
I love your reviews!Have a good day❤️❤️
Thank you!!
This is terrible news, I have been looking to buy a new primer...
this is... devastating news.

Did you enjoy the chicken? I thought the chicken was lovely.
I really hated the lid lustre. It went everywhere! Fall out for DAYS. could not make it work.
I'm so sorry they didn't workout for you!
screaming at the Muna reference, thank you
oh my god like, I'm your number one fan so iconic like big like stan like
Can you leave a time stamp where you talk about the bronzer?
Friend your face LOOKS expensive in the best way! Love the layered grungy effortlessness of that eyeshadow.
Thank youuu!!
Looking at my almost empty tub of Bobbi Brown... Tom! Why are you doing this to me?!
LISTEN BRITTANY! I am going to eventually spend $120 on a powder because of you. We are EVEN!
I have an almost full jar of Face Base ❤ so VB won’t be getting my $$$ for primer anytime soon.
Face base is AWESOME! I used that today instead of the VB!
OMG - That Facetime call! 😂😂😂
Isn't weird she sounded a bit australian and other accents?
@@hautemesstom Being such a jetsetter, I'm sure she had just absorbed various accents from her latest exotic locaitons. 🤔🤣
I loooove Mink. It's so sparkly and pretty and sexy ugh I will always repurchase it
Honestly me too! Have you used a whole one!?
@@hautemesstom ahah not yet! but I love it so much that I don't ever want to be without it
merci mawma x
De rien! ♥️
The FaceTime call 😅😂
This brand seems to have thrown you into an existential crisis and it makes me want to buy all of those liners haha
It absolutely did. I normally don’t end up so fond of a brand when it’s over hahaba
