Christian Siriano for VS Makeup

While I'm not exactly a die-hard fan of Victoria's Secret and their clothes/lingerie/cosmetics, I have to admit that everything I've ever bought from there (makeup, underwear, and body lotion) has been pretty amazing (especially for the relatively low prices on beauty products)! Which makes me wonder why I don't shop there more often, but it's never too late to start, right?


And what better time than now when Christian Siriano has launched his makeup line through Victoria's Secret to complement his Fall clothing line. The best part is that all of the items are under $20 (take that Bobbi Brown). And, as if I would expect anything less from Victoria's Secret, the packaging is gorgeous and very sexy.



Quite possibly my favorite thing from the collection, this adorable makeup bag, $12 is perfect for stowing your daily essentials. Who really wants to have to dig through their entire bag to find their chapstick? With this bag you can keep everything you need for daily touch-ups neat and
organized.






I have to admit, even I sometimes use shimmery eyeliner as a cheekbone highlight shade, but now, thanks to this pretty bronzer highlighter trio, $16, I won't ever have to again! With a bright, pale highlight shade, a matte and a pearly bronzing shade, what more could you ask for to create the perfect endlesssummer glow?







Now I don't know about you, but I sometimes find my eyeliner, a little, oh I don't know, boring. Although I never leave home without my eyes lined in black or navy blue, I sometimes wish my liner would add a little extra glamour to my life. That's where this Kajal Kohl Eyeliner, $12 comes in. Channel your inner Cleopatra with this smoky liner and add a little extra va voom to your look.









What would any smokey liner be without a sexy eyeshadow? I absolutely love all of the colors this silky eyeshadow, $12 comes in. Use the darker colors like royalty and gilded fierce layered on top of eyeliner for a more dramatic smoky eye, and use the lighter colors like nude and sandstorm in the inner corners of the eye and on the browbone.




I love these products not only for what they can do, but for how adorable they look! These will sex up your bathroom or your make-up bag and make you feel sexy before they're even on your face. If I had an endless supply of cash I would buy them all. But since I don't, all I can do is dream...

love, iCandy

Beauty Steal: Victoria's Secret Liquid Liner Pen!


I was almost ecstatic when I got home tonight to find a package from Victoria's Secret sitting on my step. Last week I ordered a Very Sexy liquid liner pen (normally $12 but on sale now for $5.99!) and I couldn't wait for it to arrive.

After trying my mom's ck Calvin Klein Electric Edge Liquid Eyeliner Marker Pen (what a mouthful!), I became mildly obsessed with the idea of a felt-tip marker as an eye liner pen. Simpler than regular liquid liner to put on, but sexier and more precise than a regular eye pencil, it is the best of both worlds!

While I was scoping out bathing suits at Victoriassecret.com, a quick look in the sale section revealed one very sexy liquid liner pen that is (as far as I can tell) identical to my mom's Calvin Klein Pen, at about 1/3 of the price.

After receiving and actually trying the product, it is as good, if not better than the Calvin Klein version ($18 at Sephora.com) the line is very thin and precise and barely smudges. It is perfect for creating that doe-eyed pin-up look! Pair this with Benefit's BADgal lash mascara and a sexy shadow duo such as Too Faced EyeShadow Duo which combines a darker, defining shade with a shimmery highlighter at Sephora.com.
