When Victoria Beckham launched her namesake beauty line in 2019, the fashion world took note. But could Posh Spice really deliver in the saturated world of celebrity-backed beauty? We decided to find out — by putting £637 worth of Victoria Beckham Beauty products to the test. After weeks of swatching, blending, and double-taking in mirrors, we can confidently say: several of these luxury items are 100% worth the hype.
Here’s what stood out — and what might just earn a permanent place in your makeup bag.
The Wow-Worthy Winners
1. Posh Lipstick – £38
Let’s start with what might be the best lipstick we’ve tried all year. The Posh Lipstick range is creamy, hydrating, and surprisingly long-lasting for a formula this moisturizing. The packaging feels weighty and luxe, with magnetic closure that screams elegance. “Girl” — a cool-toned nude — became an instant favorite. It glides on like butter and leaves lips feeling conditioned even after hours of wear.
2. Satin Kajal Liner – £30
If there’s one product Victoria Beckham Beauty is known for, it’s the Satin Kajal Liner. We tried four shades — Cocoa, Bronze, Ash, and Navy Noir — and each delivered intense pigment with a smooth, smudgeable formula that stays put once it sets. This liner is a smoky-eye lover’s dream. It works well both for tightlining and as a base for a dramatic eye look. Bonus: it didn’t irritate even the most sensitive eyes.
3. Reflect Highlighter Stick – £38
We were skeptical at first — another cream highlighter in a market flooded with them? But the Reflect Highlighter Stick in shade “Pearl” is next-level. It melts seamlessly into the skin, delivering a dewy glow without any glitter. It gives that “lit-from-within” effect that’s hard to fake. You can apply it with fingers, a brush, or straight from the tube — and it never disrupts makeup underneath.
4. Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer – £92
Yes, the price is steep. But once we applied the Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, we understood why this product has a cult following. Co-created with skincare legend Augustinus Bader, this primer-meets-moisturizer gives skin an instant plump, hydrated appearance and acts like the perfect canvas for makeup. Our foundation glided over it flawlessly, and our skin felt nourished all day long. It also comes in a golden, travel-friendly bottle — which, let’s be honest, looks amazing on any vanity.
5. Lid Lustre – £36
These sparkly eye pots deliver pure joy. From the moment you twist off the lid, the shimmer catches your eye. We tested the shade “Tea Rose” — a soft, rosy bronze — and fell in love with the high-shine finish. The texture is silky and buildable, and the shimmer shifts beautifully under different lighting. It’s the quickest way to elevate your eye look in seconds.
The Good (But Not Mind-Blowing)
1. Posh Gloss – £28
The Posh Gloss offers a mirror-like finish and a cushiony texture without stickiness — all things we love in a gloss. The shade “Bikini” added a lovely peachy glow. While it’s lovely, it’s not necessarily a must-have unless you’re a gloss fanatic. The staying power was average, but the packaging was undeniably chic.
2. Future Lash Mascara – £28
This clean, tubing mascara promises length, lift, and definition — and it delivered, to an extent. We liked how easy it was to remove with warm water, and the fact that it didn’t smudge throughout the day. But in terms of wow-factor volume, it lagged behind some other high-end options.
Final Thoughts
Victoria Beckham Beauty blends performance, luxury, and sleek aesthetic in a way that feels uniquely modern. You’re not just buying makeup — you’re buying into a beauty philosophy that champions clean ingredients, high fashion, and a kind of quiet sophistication.
While some items feel like indulgent extras (looking at you, gloss and mascara), others genuinely impressed us with their formula, performance, and finish. The Kajal Liners, Posh Lipsticks, and Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer are absolute standouts that we’ll keep repurchasing — yes, even at the luxury price point.
At £637, this beauty splurge doesn’t come cheap. But if you’re looking to invest in products that deliver both results and that signature VB polish, this range delivers. Victoria Beckham didn’t just slap her name on a line — she built a beauty brand with real staying power. And honestly? We’re here for it.
