Her namesake beauty brand was the biggest launch of the year, with months of speculation and hints on her Instagram, and finally in September this year Victoria Beckham Beauty launched to an eagerly awaiting fan base of beauty obsessives. Within hours the designer's Lid Lustres and Smoky Eye Bricks sold out, creating a huge demand for VB's next drop.

Amongst running her new and growing beauty brand and creating more than four collections each year for her eponymous clothing line, the mum-of-four still manages to spend time with her A-list family, exercise, and take time for self-care.

So how does she do it? Beckham spoke to ELLE about how she balances her busy schedule, the beauty products she treats herself to, and divulges her biggest make-up and skincare secrets...

I hit the sack at...

...it depends. If David is away, I like to be in bed early once the kids are settled so I can get a full night’s sleep.

I wake up at...

...around 6am so I have a chance to work out before getting the kids ready for school.

The first thing that passes my lips is...

...hot water and lemon.

The last thing that passes my lips is...

...it doesn’t pass them, but I apply a lip balm on my lips!

My make-up routine is...

...day-to-day, I use a moisturiser and my Victoria Beckham Beauty Bitten Lip Tint (£3O), which is multipurpose: I use it on my lips, eyelids and cheeks. I finish with a lip liner and brow pencil.

I exercise...

...as much as I can when I’m at home, but it’s difficult when travelling. I usually do a run and then work out to great music.

My worst beauty habit is...

...I’m very specific about my eyebrows and I’ll only let Anastasia [Soare, of Anastasia Beverly Hills] do them when I am in LA, which means I don’t pluck my eyebrows as often as I should…

My inexcusable beauty treat is...

...I’m not sure it’s inexcusable but I do love to get regular manicures.

The last beauty item I bought was...

...probably a mask. I love the Sarah Chapman 3D Moisture Infusion Masks.

My current state of being is...

...calm.

How long do you spend looking after yourself?

...quite a long time. I don’t think we should feel guilty about looking after ourselves.

When I look in the mirror I see...

...a woman who is trying to be the best version of herself.

The craziest thing I've done in the name of beauty is...

...I once put raw egg whites on my face as a mask.

My beauty secret is...

...take vitamins, get lots of sleep, drink lots of water and be kind to yourself.

My body is...

...the best it could be.

I deal with stress by...

...running on the treadmill.

Vanity to me means is...

...I don’t think vanity has to be negative. I think there can be a positive take on it: you just want to look the best that you can.

The last beauty treatment I had was...

...a facial with Melanie Grant in LA.

The biggest beauty lesson I ever learned was...

...less is more, accept who you are and don’t try to change yourself.
