Review: Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Face Illuminator

Review Victorias Secret Very Sexy Face Illuminator Adriana LimaI admit: I have a sick obsession with Victoria’s Secret. However, I rarely make it to the beauty side of the store. But when the Very Sexy line debuted, I was intrigued. It seemed more professional and high-end than Vicky’s previous sort of impulse-buy-with-your-panties makeup.

I’ve tried far too many filmy Covergirl foundations in the past, so I rarely pick up base at the drugstore, but this one is amazing!

This foundation’s coverage is full and it feels creamy and rich, but blends out neatly without feeling too thick.
