When I was in the UAE, one of the stores I really wanted to visit was Victoria’s Secret. I’m always hearing amazing stuff about them and online their products look irresistible.
Despite the exorbitant prices, I was truly not disappointed and amongst what I got from there was a few beauty products. Brace yourselves for a VERY pink post ;)
From the Supermodel Approved range (I think that’s what it’s called) I got; the primer and setting spray, double-ended face brush and hand cream. The brush has a fluffy end and an angled end and is superb! I want to kick myself for not getting the double-ended eyeshadow brush but the store was really busy and it was a bit of a pain to shop. I haven’t tried the primer/setting spray yet but the hand cream smells divine and is perfect for the dry Johannesburg winter.
I had wanted the bronzing shimmer powder and it worked out cheaper to get the whole Glow Anywhere kit. It comes with a shimmer-nude lipgloss, the bronzing powder and a self-tan. I’ve heard great stuff about their self-tan and I’m keen to try it out once my natural Arabian sun tan fades.
It took me ages to decide which perfume I wanted and I narrowed it down to Bombshell and Gorgeous. Eventually I settled for Gorgeous mainly because I LOVE sweet perfumes and fell in love with the adorable bottle. It has notes of Italian mandarin, strawberry, jasmine, sandalwood and musk. I also invested in a makeup mirror for my handbag because I really could not resist the hot-pink.
Here are some snapshots of the Victoria’s Secret at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.
Until next time
Love and (pink) sparkles
