By Marcus Lowery trugotit development center Staff
That stunning photoshoot you might have seen for Lemon Box Beauty's brand new "Aura Lip Shine" collection, guess what? We got the inside scoop straight from one of the gorgeous faces behind the campaign, the radiant Victoria Pena!
Victoria shared all the lip-smacking details about her experience, and trust us, it's packed with inspiration that will have you ready to rock your own unique shine.
Shot Perspective: Surety. Victoria walked in appearing to have a confidence that's currently under construction. The look of curiosity was well blended with focus and purpose as if Shes been here a million times. This shoot was about lips, but the beauty in Victoria's eyes gave an intriguing synopsis of who she may be on the inside. 📸

Stepping into Her Element and Embracing the "Baddie" Vibe:
For Victoria, the energy on set was electric! "During the shoot, I felt super comfortable and, in my element," she shared. What truly stood out was the genuine enthusiasm from the Lemon Box Beauty team. “The excitement and passion when they would get a great shot of me!" Talk about feeling the love!
"From the usual to the 'wait, what?',
to soooooooo... we're doing this?
Alright then!
"I felt particularly challenged when I was asked to bite into the fruit because that’s not something I’ve even done for a photoshoot before, but I was happy with the results!!"
She welcomed the challenge of doing something outside her norm. "I felt inspired to go out of my comfort zone," she exclaimed. This is your reminder, ladies, that sometimes the most amazing things happen when you dare to try something new!
Aura Lip Shine Models: Morgan, Aurora, Victoria and Constance.
Victoria felt completely supported, emphasizing how well everyone worked together. Plus, her look for the day had her feeling on top of the world.
"My clothing/makeup/hair styling made me feel like a baddie. I was comfortable in what I was wearing and how I looked so that energy was able to be captured on camera perfectly."
Confidence starts from within, but a killer lip gloss (like one from the Aura Lip Shine collection, perhaps?) and a fire outfit definitely help!
More Than Just a Pretty Face: Victoria's experience shifted her perspective on modeling, and it's a message every single one of us need to hear. "I learned that modeling is more about a vibe and an ability to execute a creative vision than looking a certain way. Just being myself is enough!"
YES! Your unique personality and energy are your superpowers.
This resonates with her lifelong dream. "I have had an interest in modeling since I was a child. I remember walking in the makeup aisle at H-E-B with my mom at around 7 years old and seeing a huge poster of a model with her makeup done and I thought to myself 'that’s gonna be me one day.'"
It's proof that those childhood dreams can absolutely become a reality!
Victorias Mood was created during the photoshoot!
The Glossary: Passion and Purpose
A multi-talented force! Outside of slaying in front of the camera, she's passionate about "singing, making music, making art, dancing, reading, writing, activism and advocating for human rights." Talk about a woman with purpose!
Her modeling aspirations are just as ambitious. "Modeling-wise, I want to work on beauty campaigns for brands like Huda Beauty and Haus Labs!" We're manifesting that for you, Victoria!
And here's a fun fact: "Something that most people don’t know about me is that I love to do research on different topics like history, science and art in my free time."
Brains and beauty? We love to see it!
Confidence is Your Ultimate Accessory:
Victoria's journey of self-acceptance is truly inspiring. "I am proud that I have finally learned to accept myself for who I am, and I’m finally learning to live life authentically and not for the approval of anyone else."
This is the ultimate goal, right?
Her definition of confidence is something we should all take to heart:
"Confidence to me means knowing and trusting myself so deeply that no one else’s opinions or judgements about me will be able to change the way I feel about myself. Everyone has the ability to be confident, and it has nothing to do with the way you look or what you have, but by learning and accepting who you are deep within."
Mic drop!

Finding Inspiration and Living with Purpose:
Like many of us, Victoria has someone she looks up to:
"Someone I admire is Cynthia Erivo. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is authentically herself, leads with love and compassion and advocates for those who don’t have the platform to do so. She is overall an amazing human, and I strive to be more like her."
Surrounding yourself with inspiring figures can fuel your own growth.
And when she needs to recharge? "I would love to travel to beautiful black and pink sand beaches so I can just meditate in the water and live like a mermaid for a bit." Sounds like pure bliss!
Finally, Victoria lives by a powerful personal philosophy: "Creativity is a gift and it is our job to use that gift to give back to the universe." And what brings her joy?
"Being outside in the sun by the water brings me great joy!"
Lip Service:
Post edit, we noticed a few unique traits Victoria came equipped with. For example, a take that was captured from a behind the scenes video camera showing Victoria posing for a great shot then without the thought of improvising, looks up to her phone that she set up before stepping on set and gets the perfect piece of content for her IG reel. Classic hair blowing in the wind. It was clear, we got something here... To Be Continued.
