Guilty Pleasure – and one of my most repurchased items – Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush glosses

I’ve been meaning to blog about these for the longest time – but didn’t want to until I’d stocked up. Selfish cow – I know.

Victoria’s Secret – they of the tres expensive yet tres tres comfortable bras – do a tight selection of beauty/cosmetics – it’s what you’d expect – extremely sweet perfumes (some of which I also secretly love), body products, the basic makeup range and lip glosses. Oh the lip glosses. I have been in love with these glosses for years. Years. The picture above shows the repackaged version of my favourite range – they are now called Beauty Rush and come in 26 shades. 26! We don’t get that many in the UK – but you lucky US dwellers will.

They are the exact colour that you see, the ones I buy have no shimmer – but they are available in differing depths of pigment and with shimmer if that’s your thing. The applicator is the tube itself – perfectly slanted with a small opening so you don’t drown in gloss with one slight push. They are flavoured/smelly – almost like cotton candy. I love that though.
If I had to take one lip gloss to a desert island – it would be Candy,Baby – which in the picture above is book-ending the other two: Yummy Berry and Citrus Kissed. The absolute perfect pink. For me. If you want really sophisticated formulas and a fashion designer’s name on your products – these may not be for you. I love a swanky lip gloss as much as the next girl – but for all day/everyday use? These win every time.

And the best part: these are 4 for £20.00. Annoyingly they are also 4 for $20.00 – which tells you everything you need to know about rip-off Britain and why I take an empty suitcase when I go to the US.
