Obviously Victoria Beckman has a lot going on. In addition to being a clothing designer and maybe an On-again Spice Girl, she has her own cosmetic line with Estée Lauder. Part of Victoria’s brand is to detail her fashion and beauty choices so that we can adopt her tricks and tips. In principle, this is cool – we can all look like Victoria Beckham! However, the reality is beyond most of our grasps. Victoria recently detailed her head-to-toe beauty regime to Into the Gloss, which People took and graciously priced out all the products Victoria mentioned. The price tag to look like Vicky B: $1,635. Add to that the cost of her LA dermatologist – oof!

Skincare: If you’ve noticed that Beckham looks just as radiant in her airport paparazzi photos post-flight as she does on the red carpet, that’s because she gives herself a mini-facial in flight. She cleanses her skin and puts on Sarah Chapman’s Skinesis Stem Cell Collagen Activator ($265) which makes her skin feel “so nice” in the “horrific” airplane air. Then she uses her very own Estée Lauder Morning Aura primer ($95) which she developed specifically to look refreshed when facing the paparazzi after a long flight.

As for her everyday routine, she starts with Bioderma makeup wipes ($9.90) which she wears actually work to take off long-lasting makeup. Then she follows it up with a rotating variety of cleansers, including Sarah Chapman’s Ultimate Cleanse and Lancer Skincare’s Method Polish ($75), the latter of which she tells the website is “grainy and abrasive” and is the best scrub she’s tried because “it really stimulates the skin.”

She follows that up with the Sarah Chapman 3D Moisture Infusion Mask ($84), a jade roller ($90) and La Mer’s Moisturizing Soft Lotion ($260) which she loves because it’s light enough to soak in before her foundation.

Makeup: Her number one go-to makeup product is her Estée Lauder Aura Gloss ($45). She describes it like a lip balm but she uses it everywhere. “I’ll put it on top of my cheeks, on my eyelids, down the center of my nose, and always on this bow of my lip because it makes the lips look fuller,” she explains. “Also a little bit on my chin. Sometimes if I’m wearing something strapless, I’ll take a little bit, mix it with my moisturizer, and put it on my collarbone. You can do everything with it—it has this nice gold feeling that makes it a good highlighter.” (She also put it on models in her latest runway show.)

For days she’s just padding around the house, she puts on a tinted moisturizer from Sarah Chapman, Skin Insurance SPF 30 ($67). And for days she needs more coverage, it’s between Burberry Fresh Glow Foundation ($52), Cashmere Concealer ($40) and La Mer foundation ($110).

To finish off her signature look (contoured cheekbones with a smokey eye) she uses Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Skin Perfecting Powder ($85), Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Eye Kajal ($38) and Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Cheek Crème ($60).

Body: When it comes to fragrance, she says she doesn’t have a signature scent, and uses anything by Byredo ($150), but as for moisturizing cream, she loves Weleda Skin Food ($19). “The formula is so thick and buttery,” she says. “When I have a tan, I’ll mix it with coconut oil—the same you use to cook with—and cover my entire body with it. I suppose some people may not like the greasiness, but it helps me hold on to the color. And by the time I leave the house, I feel as if it’s really sunk in.”

Hair: She admitted that she can’t do her own hair as well as her own makeup, and says she only lets her L.A. colorist touch her strands. And no one is allowed to touch her brows besides Anastasia Soare, founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills. So the products she uses daily on her own include a simple shampoo ($44) and conditioner ($46) by Oribe which she says smells “incredible.”

Okay, so using Victoria’s beauty routine with my bank account, I can afford to moisturize my body (not my face), have one eye made up and I guess buy a hat to hide my hair? Personally speaking, I think Victoria looks great so it’s $1,635 well spent if she has the dough (she does). And I realize that this is a total collection, not to be worn all at once – seriously there are amphibians with less moisture at their disposal. I do, in fact, invest a little bit in lotions and potions to combat aging but with my minimal research, I don’t know what half the things she mentions are. Like a 3D moisture mask? Do I need special glasses to apply it? And I cannot get the image of me trying to give myself, “a mini-facial in flight,” in my cramped coach aisle seat out of my mind. That would result in a $265 streak of goo on the beverage cart.

The thing I’m struggling with is this Aura Gloss, it really does look like gold glitter lip gloss – she rubs a line of this down her nose? She’d look like a slip-and-slide. As I said, I think she looks great. But I won’t lie, it makes me feel much better knowing it takes her that much cash to look that good. Not that she doesn’t look worth it, but that I can feel better about my $73 face staring back at me in the mirror.
