Victoria Beckham fans race to bag 'free' luxury beauty item this week

Victoria Beckham's eponymous beauty brand is treating fans to a luxurious little bonus this week. For a limited period, customers can bag a complimentary Artist Palette with any purchase over £50.

The Artist Palette, reportedly a staple on Victoria's dressing table, is a sleek, curved flat surface crafted for blending or applying water-based or cream formulations. Simply add a few drops of makeup or skincare to the palette, then use a brush to mix before applying to the skin.

Compact enough to hold in one hand, it's engraved with the Victoria Beckham Beauty logo for a hint of subtle elegance, making it as much of a showcase piece as it is a functional tool, reports OK!. Bear in mind, though, it's only available whilst stocks last. As noted, shoppers will need to spend over £50 to secure the complimentary gift.

For those unfamiliar with VB's range, the Concealer Pen (£64) is a favoured starting point. Delivering light-to-medium, radiant coverage, it functions as skincare too, with the brand asserting it can enhance the complexion within four weeks.

A clinical trial revealed that 100% of participants agreed the concealer didn't settle into pores or appear cakey after eight hours of wear. One delighted reviewer commented: "My favourite concealer ever. It covers all my imperfections, has a perfect tint, and achieves the exact coverage effect I want. I had the sampler first, which helped me find my perfect match to order."

However, a mixed review states: "The actual product may well be good, but the terrible applicator choice and design are horrendous for desiring a timely effort in doing one's makeup for the day or evening."

Another popular concealer option isRodial's Banana Lowlighter (£38), which boasts a solid 4.8-star rating. This delighted shopper commented: "Gorgeous texture and goes on like silk, can't even tell you're wearing it. Lovely match."

Alternatively, the Colour Wash Blush Water Tint(£44) is another favoured selection. This watercolour-inspired flush, offered in three shades, seeks to deliver a natural, glowing appearance.

Most customers adore it, with one declaring: "This is genius! Long-wearing, not sticky at all, sinks into the skin, and looks stunning. Brilliant formula." Yet, someone else remarked, "Pretty flush, but it took a lot to build up to show up a natural flush on my cheeks."

A different blush option is Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush (£24), which is renowned for its weightless sensation and enduring formula. An amazed buyer enthused: "This liquid blush is perfect in every way. It doesn't sit on top of the skin or emphasise texture - melts in seamlessly, leaving a beautiful, radiant finish that looks like it's coming from within."

Finally, newcomers to Victoria Beckham's beauty range might fancy the Bronzing Brick (£68), which arrives in a stunning tortoiseshell compact featuring gold accents - a genuinely luxurious treat for any cosmetics collection. The product contains two complementary tones, both enriched with nourishing elements like cocoa butter and moringa oil to deliver a moisturising result.

One five-star reviewer gushed: "The two shades appear very natural on my skin tone, providing the right amount of 'tan'. It applies perfectly without feeling cakey. I feel like it sets my makeup well also." Though another customer observed: "It clumps together on my skin."

As an alternative, my present favourite bronzer is ICONIC London's Shape and Shade Sculpting Stick (£23). It's perfect for contouring, delivering chiselled definition instantly, and it smooths effortlessly for a radiant, authentic look.
