Victoria Beckham Beauty Review Part 1: Smoky Eye Brick Eyeshadpw Palette

This blog will be on the Lid Lustres.

They are single eyeshadows, but very pigmented and glittery, like pressed pigments. They are housed in a luxurious compact that feels quite heavy, making them feel even more luxurious.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Lid Lustre - Midnight, Minx, Onyx

Brand’s description: Lid Lustre adds a layer of life, dimension, and brilliance to your look. Inspired by the healing and protective power of crystals—Victoria surrounds herself with them—each shade is infused with a different crystal for aura-amplifying energy. Striking shades in a wet, pearly finish are tailor-made for buildable, high-shine brilliance.
Luxury performance, clean beauty.

Lid Lustre’s unique soft press powder technology contains over 60% pearlescent pigments. Due to the delicate nature of this formula, we recommend keeping the disc provided on top of the product to protect in between uses.

Lid Lustre in Midnight is navy blue with silver pearl and infused with Amethyst which is known to amplify the flow of prosperity and abundance.

Ok I have one problem with these shadows. They are not pressed into the compact hard enough. The first day that I tried to use the shade Onyx, all the pigment just fell out of the compact and onto the floor. I tried to scoop it up and rescue it with alcohol but it was too late. Onyx is now a loose pigment in my drawer.

As for the formula, I think these are very different from the Smokey Eye Brick palettes. The palettes are more subtle, everyday palettes while these Lid Lusters are more of a glam, head turning color. The shimmers are very noticeable, so I think thee are best for nights. I prefer to use these alone, over a primer.

Personally, I think these are a bit overpriced. Yes the quality is great and the packaging is so luxe, but you can probably find something similar at a lower price. For these, you are also paying a premium for the brand name.
