Twice a year, I find myself literally rushing to Victoria Secret for their Semi-Annual Sale. This year I was so excited that I found several goodies since during the past few sales I have found very little. Not only did I find their typical items (bras, pajama pieces...etc) I also found several sprays and makeup items. One of the items I purchased was the VS Luminous Face and Cheek highlighter. Upon finding the item, I was so excited because I had heard that they carried a good highlighter. I figured that maybe they were doing away with the line or just the product since it was on sale and knew I needed to snatch it up. The shade I purchased was Sea Shells.
The packaging was nice as it came in a decorated teal box with animal print. Unfortunately the excitement of this product stops at the packaging. I was unable to find a good enough swatch because the product hardly shows up at all. I had a tough time finding it at all and once I caked it on my hand, it quickly faded with the slightest touch. Suddenly I realize why it was so cheap during the sale. They wanted to get rid of it! Also, the smell of the product really bothered me. I am used to the smell of lip sticks or other cosmetics that have a very slight smell that isn't anything special. Unfortunately this smelled almost like clay to me. Not very attractive! I hope maybe VS will come out with a different highlighter that will work a lot better and hopefully be pigmented in the right way. I wanted to love this product and I was so excited when I found it. What a let down!
