Victorias Secret's Holiday Goodies

Victorias Secret makeup collections have always amazed me because they're beautiful, trendy, high performance, and yet, really affordable. For now and for the holidays, you can't go wrong treating yourself, or your BFFs, with anything from the limited edition Exotic Jewels Makeup Collection by supermodel and tv star, Heidi Klum. The mostly plum-centric palette has flattering options for every skin tone. And you can't help but admire the compacts, featuring intricate, Indian designs tinged with gold, inspired by Heidi’s visit to India’s Varanasi, and the Indian-themed vow renewal ceremony she shared with her husband, Seal, in Mexico. Everything in the collection is gorgeous, but my favorite is the "Hidden Palace" Eye Shadow Palette $24.00 featuring shimmery shades of champagne, mauved-nude,bright berry, deep violet, and black. Add a deep, plum-colored, lash lengthening Mascara $13.00 in "Amethyst" and a party-perfect, plum-tinted glitter liner $12.00 in "Majesty." There are also plum-themed lip and face products to complete the collection. You will feel like Maharani, and look elegantly trendy for the holidays. Luckily, you won't have to pay a queen's ransom for any of these items. They make great stocking stuffers, too. As a bonus, here's video of makeup artist Linda Hay, explaining how to use the collection:

While you’re at Victorias Secret or online at their web site, check of VS Pro, a line of makeup that helps you get DIY runway-ready looks. For example, The Camoflage FX Concealer Palette $18.00 gives you five creamy conscealers that let you mix and match colors for whatever you need–green to counter redness and blemishes, apricot to correct dark spots, and light, medium and dark nude concealers to mix to a perfect color–brush applicator, included. This slim palette with clear top gives you what the pro palettes have, but for a lot less. The Brow FX Grooming Gel $15.00 keeps unruly brows in place. I recently realized that even well groomed brows need help–it’s not just an extra step, it’s a must-have now that brows are a big focus. There are a number of other products to consider, including an eye shadow primner, blotting gel, and a Radiant Face Illuminator–all well priced and ready to help you easily perfect your look!

From the Victoras Secret Makeup Collection, there's one particular lip color that I think needs a shout-out: a Matte Cream Lipstick $14.00 called: "Muse." This hot pink adds a much-needed pop of color to lips that perks up even the most pale, or tired, complexion. You could add a shiny or shimmery lip gloss over it, but a bold matte in a flattering color is so "right now" you’ll want to wear it "as-is." The look is moistly matte, not dry. I love it!
