Victoria Beckham is going back to her roots for her latest launch under her brand Victoria Beckham Beauty. Coming October 1, the nine shades of Posh Lipstick are clean and housed in minimal plastic packaging. The name is of course a nod to her past life as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls.
Like the entire line, the new Posh Lipsticks are made with ingredients and sustainability in mind. The blend of natural waxes and oils (avocado, coconut, jojoba) are meant to smooth and plump lips, providing skincare benefits as well as opaque color. The range of nine shades will work on all skin tones, since they're muted and classic—much like the lip colors seen on Posh Spice back in the day.
Even the shade names are fun. There's Pixi, a pale peach-nude; Girl, a light neutral peach; Spice, a mid-tone ginger; Fringe: a deep copper brown; Pout: a pale coral pink; Sway, a light berry pink; Pose, a mid-tone mauve; Play, a rich plum berry; and Pop, a "Victoria Beckham red."
Back in January of 2020, Beckham spoke to Harper's BAZAAR UK about her beauty philosophy and memories of the Spice Girls. "I look back and smile about the Spice Girls now—I’m so proud of everything we achieved," she says. "It was about making people embrace who they are, being happy with who they are, being the best version of themselves and for that to be celebrated. And the fact that it was OK to be a little bit different—why conform, you know? Now, I would like to think that I’m doing that through beauty and fashion."
The lipsticks will join the growing list of products under Beckham's line, including eye shadows, lip tints, skin serums, and more. The Posh lipsticks will be available on October 1 on VictoriaBeckhambeauty.com.
Jenna Rosenstein is the Beauty Director at Harper's BAZAAR across both print and digital. While attending NYU, she held internships at Women’s Wear Daily, Bloomingdale’s, Harper’s BAZAAR, and Allure, the latter of which she parlayed into her first job as the Beauty Assistant. She left Allure three years later as the Senior Beauty Editor. She spent a few months at Refinery29 overseeing branded content in the same title, before finally landing back at BAZAAR to manage all beauty content. When she's not testing every lipstick known to mankind, getting zapped by new lasers, or interviewing experts and celebrities, you can find Rosenstein at home in New Jersey with her son, husband, and black cat named Maddie.
