My Review of Victoria Beckham Beauty Eye Wardrobe
If there’s one thing Victoria Beckham knows, it’s how to do effortless chic and she has truly mastered the smoky eye. This beauty brand has been turning heads with its ultra-luxe formulas, and when it comes to eye makeup, she’s not playing around. The Satin Kajals are the best sellers by a mile but I can see these new compacts doing very well indeed.
Each palette includes four buttery-soft shadows housed in a super sleek, weighty compact that screams luxury. They use very similar components to the Smoky Eye Bricks that the brand launched with, which have now been discontinued, however, they are deeper and a but chunkier. See those in Victoria Beckham Beauty Review & Swatches – Original Launch Collection.
What I love is that the colour stories are curated for easy, everyday wear, think polished, neutral, and effortlessly chic rather than bold, in your face pigment. And what’s really cool is that you can use each shade wet, if you do want to pack a bit more of a punch.
Each palette contains matte, satin and metallic finishes, so they are super versatile and you can create a whole range of looks. The mattes are super soft and easy to blend, and the satin and metallic shades give a beautiful shine without looking chunky or glittery.
Packaging
First things first—let’s talk packaging. The compacts are stunning. They use similar packaging as the original Smoky Eye Brick, however the Eye Wardrobe palettes are deeper and have separate pans rather than one pan of blended shades. I did actually love how the original eyeshadow palettes were blended, but I guess this is more practical.
If you have never held one of these palettes, I should explain that they feel super special. They are slim and fine, yet they feel weighty in the hand. They really are quite unique. They would fit in your back pocket undetectably and just ooze sophistication. Love them.
It is probably worth noting that you don’t get loads of product for the £71 price tag, but then the VB brand is not for anyone who isn’t looking to splash a bit of cash on their makeup! The refills are £47, so a bit more affordable.
Formula & Texture
The key difference between these new palettes and the old Smoky Eye Brick formulations is that the Victoria Beckham Beauty Eye Wardrobe formula is talc-free.
The textures are delightful – super velvety and blendable and the shades glide on effortlessly. The colours are buildable so you can really tailor the result to how you are feeling, and this means it’s pretty hard to go wrong with these shades.
At the launch event, I had the Olive Palette applied over my REESON Lid Elixir and it layered up beautifully. The shimmers are sophisticated, not glittery, making the palette perfect for mature eyes that love a bit of soft glam.
Wear Test – How Long Do They Last?
I had the Olive palette applied to be at 10am in the morning. I got home at 8.30pm and it was still looking really good. I was super impressed. The formula showed no signs of creasing or settling into any lines, and the colours stayed looking vibrant and sheeny. I did have my Lid Elixir but I wear that every day, and although it does help with longevity, I was still very impressed at how this wore.
Final Thoughts – Are they worth the price tag?
At £71, they are obviously pretty pricey, but if you are a fan of the brand, you will be used to that. The Victoria Beckham Beauty Eye Wardrobe palettes are the definition of quiet luxury. They each have beautifully curated shades, silky textures, effortless blendability and if you can afford one, then I am am pretty sure you will not have any buyer’s remorse.
