This is my first experience with Victoria Secret lipsticks. I ordered 3, a sheer pink, a peach and a coral. It was tough to settle on these three but after consulting some swatches I decided these suited my requirements; a soft, medium and loud. Don’t ask why I felt the need or a loud lipstick when I am addicted to neutrals, I’m may be trying to change my ways.
Satin Sheets is the first in the picture. It’s very sheer, with little colour. It adds a lovely dimension to the lips when applied over other lipsticks. It also looks very pretty on bare lips for a soft pink sheen. This is one fo those lipsticks that will live in my handbag. Regardless of what lipstick I apply when I’m getting ready I always keep a go to lippie in my bag and I retouch with that. I think one makes lips look kissable.
Scrumptuous is a true peach. It’s much more pigmented than Satin Sheets. This is one of those lipsticks that will look great on most skintones. It’s quite a warm, fleshy shade. I notice on the show What Not to Wear that the make-up artist usually applies a peach shade on the women during the make-over; this is what this lipstick reminds me of. I applied it over concealed lips lined with MAC Buerre Liner and a dab of Love Nectar Lustre Glass. It looked quite glamorous but in a soft way. It made me look polished.
Cabana is a coral. It looks quite bright but has a semi sheer finish. It is absolutely gorgeous and bang on trend this season. Whether I have the guts to wear it is another issue!

I realize that I’ve come late to the conversation, but I was browsing for a good picture of the color Cabana, came across this and thought I’d put in my thoughts since I love VS makeup.
I have lipsticks in Cabana, Rosebud, Vino, and Sweet Nothing. I also have Nude lip liner, the Closer eyeshadow palette, one of the new limited edition palettes called Jungle Heat, a limited edition face highlighter called Desert Twilight and lipgloss called Ravish, the High Deffinition mascara, 2 lipglosses in Sublime and Glow, and the eyeshadow primer.
I LOVE them all. There’s none of it that I would trade. The color payoff is fantastic in all of the products and they all apply very well.
Do you have to pay customs when you buy victoria secret online from ireland? – interested in buying things but scared that il have to pay loads more when package arrives at my door!!
i just bought one of those yesterday and i actually like it . The colour is wish, its a baby pink and i think you would like it !
I just got an order from VS a few days ago too! Are you sure that lipstick is called Sumptuous? I got Scrumptious, Whisper and VIP and I love em all. Whisper is very sheer. I also got two eye shadows – private beach which is a lovely shimmery lilacy taupe ( hard to explain) and a useful matte grey called Prowl (velvet). Two lipglosses – one brilliant lip shine in rock me which is a pump with a brush (very peachy) and a delicious beauty rush lip gloss in passion fruit which I love. So far I highly recommend what I purchased. :)
@Sue Thanks Sue I updated the name of the lipstick :) Private beach sounds so pretty. I must add it to my list, along with the glosses. Thanks for sharing :)
Yes I have tried VS makeup and I really love it. I have more of it from before the change over, but I love their lipsticks. Their eye shadows, while beautiful, are a bit too glittery for me, like Urban Decay, but some are still worth buying. Great review I’ve been looking to buy another of their lipsticks but didn’t know which
