When you think of Victoria's Secret, the first image that probably pops into your head is Adriana Lima. She made her Victoria's Secret debut in 1999, becoming one of the longest-reigning Angels with 18 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show catwalks under her belt, before subsequently retiring in 2018. As the lingerie brand goes through a rebrand focusing on body positivity, it's also leaning into the 2000s nostalgia.

Victoria's Secret brought back its bestselling scent, Heavenly, along with one of its most iconic Angels to spearhead the campaign — Lima included. "I'm back home. I am thrilled. I'm super excited. I love the brand. The brand helped me in every aspect of my life to make me feel empowered, feminine, and sexy," she tells POPSUGAR, adding that she has a special connection to this particular scent. "I shot the first Heavenly campaign, I believe it was 1999, it was my first fragrance campaign ever." Now, she's the face of its revival.

In honor of its comeback, we decided to go down memory lane and reminisce about some of her iconic looks from past Victoria's Secret fashion shows. One of Lima's favorites is the monochromatic red ensemble during the Paris segment of the 2013 show, noting that red is her favorite color. Donning the Fantasy Bra three times in her initial VS run, she couldn't pick just one. "They're so unique; there's so much design and time involved to make them. They work manually, placing stone by stone, and to watch that being built is truly a beautiful, incredible artistic process," she says.

Taking us back to today, Lima also gave us the rundown on current her must-have products, including a golden water bottle, Nike Air Jordans, and a silk sleep mask. Keep reading for the go-to items she can't live without.

Adriana Lima's Affordable Must Have

Lima can't go a day without perfume. "You can have the most glamorous look, but if you don't have your fragrance, something's missing," she says. The Victoria's Secret Heavenly Eau de Parfum ($60) is her current go-to. "This is the most iconic and timeless fragrance; it represents femininity, empowerment, and sensuality," Lima says.

The Heavenly Eu de Parfum is a warm scent with notes of gold musk, bourbon vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and romantic florals, including freesia, lotus, and white jasmine. "You feel feminine, you feel iconic, ethereal, empowered, sensual," she says on wearing Heavenly, adding that you can wear it during the daytime or at night. "No matter what, you will be remembered."

Pro Tip: To make your scent last longer throughout the day, Lima advises prepping your skin with moisturizer before applying your perfume. She applies an unscented oil right out of the shower, then fragrance on top. Lima also recommends spraying the scent on your hair and clothes as well for a long-lasting linger.

Adriana Lima's Investment Must Have

To stay hydrated, Lima loves her Waterdrop Oro Steel Water Bottle ($46-$52). "I've always wanted a gold water bottle," she says. "If you carry a water bottle that's actually stylish, you remind yourself to drink water every day." Not only is using a reusable water bottle like the ones from Waterdrop an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles, but it also helps you stay hydrated throughout the day. This one is made from double-walled stainless steel and is vacuum insulated to keep drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. Although her water bottle of choice is a blingy option, Lima keeps it simple with room-temperature water.

Pro Tip: Lima likes to create her own electrolyte water with some lemon, a dash of salt, and a teaspoon of maple syrup for an extra dose of hydration.

Adriana Lima's Morning Routine Must Have

The Vana Health System ($669) is a crucial part of Lima's daily wellness routine. The vials are meant to be taken as a wellness shot, and each set contains a morning formula and a nighttime formula. It uses naturally derived ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients, as well as fruits and vegetables that help keep your cells healthy and provide around-the-clock support for your body. Lima says that "it detoxifies your gut. It gives you more energy. It helps you sleep better at night, too. You see the difference in your skin." It's packed with antioxidants, and according to Lima, it tastes like tart cherry.

Pro Tip: Lima likes to take the a.m. shot right after breakfast and the p.m. shot after dinner and right before bed.

Adriana Lima's Sleep Must Have

Lima takes her sleep seriously. "I understand there are incredible lotions and products out there for your skin, but if you don't have a great night's sleep, there are no products in this world that will help your skin," Lima says. She told us that she is sensitive to light — even notifications from her phone — so she likes to wear her gray Blissy Silk Sleep Mask ($40) to ensure a good night's rest. Made from 100 percent mulberry silk, Lima especially loves how it feels cooling on her skin and helps prevent under-eye puffiness.

Pro Tip: This sleep mask comes with its own travel pouch, so you can take it on trips and use it on flights for a peaceful slumber anywhere, anytime.

Lima's go-to pair of sneakers is the Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid Sneakers ($125) in white, black, and red, calling them "the most iconic sneakers. The style is incredible. I'm obsessed." Lima wears them with everything from jeans to sweatpants and even skirts. These sneakers have a mid-top design made with leather, synthetic leather, and textile. The Nike Air Jordan 1 has a foam midsole and cushioning for lightweight comfort. "I have to say I have more respect for the shoe after I saw the movie, 'Air.' The story behind how they created it, like much respect for that shoe right now," Lima says.

Pro Tip: These sneakers fit true to size and are available in both men's and women's sizing.
