Celebrity Beauty Secrets: Heidi Klum’s Legs

Have you ever watched the VS fashion show or some similar display of your inadequacy and thought, “How on earth do they get their legs to look THAT good? Can you Photoshop in real-time now?”

Lipgloss Reviews: Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

Lipgloss Reviews Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss Adriana LimaDefinitive proof that Vicky’s isn’t always overpriced: I got the Beauty Rush lip gloss AND a racerback shirt proclaiming “Delicious” that Britney Spears was once seen wearing as a GWP. (That’s a gift with purchase for those of you who aren’t obsessed with throwing away all of your disposable income.)

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 tried the Very Sexy Face Illuminator in Glow, and I was impressed. It’s a light shimmer creme that’s about the texture of concealer. A perfect highlighter that complements best spread high on the cheekbones, it’s also excellent on the bridge and tip of your nose, apples of your cheeks, or the browbone.
