Burberry Beauty - Page 5

oh today I bought a Rose Carnation YSL RPC.. it is not bright, but it will be great for the beach with some bronzer!

oh, and I was thinking of Misty.. lmao.

 

wrong thread.. too much wine.. lol

Yes, we'll be 'earthy' together! ;)

The way you ladies are talking about Earthy, I seriously want to get it like right now! 

 

Miss QQ, I want all the Burberry blushes! I'm totally addicted and illogical when it comes to make up.

HG - Hope Earthly works for you! I tried contouring long ago and had orange and brown strips on my face so I gave up on contouring. Earthly is just right for me.

 

mjacqueline - We are all addicts here, aren't we? ;) I will definitely look out for more Burberry blushes that I want, especially the colours that I don't have from Chanel. Maybe you can try Earthly at the counter. I think the MAs are very patient and knows the products well, don't you think so? I like them.

Miss QQ, yes! I totally agree! The MAs there are all sweet and helpful especially Mindy.

I realise there are only 8 blushes in all. So it's possible to collect them all if you want. ;)

 

I wore Earthly all week and I really like it. At first I wore it with highlight and skipped any pinky blush but later on I tried it with coral, peachy and pink blushes and they all worked. The MA told me not to use any blushes as it may be too garish with the contour going on, but my cheeks are pale and I use Earthly lightly so it works. I swatched Pale Rose and it is like Radial Pink in the mac colour form cool palette, but much more finely milled.

Yay for Earthy!!!    I love Pale Rose - it has become a go-to for me for my inner lid, highlight, and blending.  I just love it!  My Burberry shadows are coming with me over the holidays - actually, I have to decide what I'm bringing, but they're first on the list .

Some info on Spring collection!

Yay for new lip covers! I want Devon Sunset! And Pale Barley looks amazing, I can't wait to see everything in person!

oooh, thank you for this info!

 

I want the lip covers- Devon Sunset and possibly Tulip Pink and the Golden Peach

 

Also the Nude Rose lips gloss as well as Pale Barley.

 

 

Wonder which blush is pictured at the promotion pic? Is that earthy?

I don't think that is Earthy. It looks coral, like Russet maybe? Don't all the lip covers look pretty? Primrose Hill Pink looks like a wearable bright pink. Maybe Nude Rose will be my first burberry gloss.

After a few months of googling reviews and thinking of what I might pick up when I got around to doing an order from Nordstrom's, I found out something very interesting last night, while trying to cope with my insomnia: Burberry will ship anywhere in Canada from their web site. Not sure how I managed to avoid knowing that and their shipping costs seem wacky enough that it might still be easier to order from Nordstrom's, but I thought it was funny that I hadn't found that out until now.

^^ So are you ordering from Nordstrom? What do you have your eyes on? I only have 3 things but I love them all.

I'm trying to decide, because I want to order some stuff from Le Metier de Beaute as well, but I'm trying to choose between:

 

Antique Rose e/s

Tea Rose e/s

Rosewood e/s

Prune l/s

Claret l/s

Blueberry lip mist

Cameo blush

 

One thing I did notice is that, if the shipping costs weren't so high, the Canadian prices on the lipsticks and eyeshadows aren't too bad compared to the American ones. On the other hand, the increase in the blush price is insane and the lip mists aren't available in Canada. So I'm kind of leaning towards those products at the moment. Nice thing about Nordstrom is that they have a full Canadian system- you can see the prices in Canadian dollars and check Canadian duty/ taxes when you place your order.

In case you are still deciding to reduce the list, Rosewood definitelly is the best shadow from those listed.

And definitelly keep Blueberry as well.

 

I must warn you, once you go Burberry, all other brand's packaging will start to seem cheap and flimsy to you. I just got the new Meteorites and first tought popping in head was, what is this light cheap plastic?

 

It really depends on what you like though. Flimsy plastic is not good, but I don't care for heavy, bulky packaging either -- it takes up too much storage room and it's not convenient to carry.

Thats also true.

 

Burberry lipsticks are much harder to stick in your pocket as compared to RCS. But RCS are so tiny, sometimes I worry I will loose them.

 

I am thinking about getting burberry pressed foundation to carry and use for touch ups because I feel the compact is sturdy and will sustain 1+ years of daily carrying in a purse in great shape, I hate when packaging starts to look old or dirty, that's why i stopped buying Nars. On the other side it is also bit heavier. Maybe I should stop carrying 10+ lipstickes daily with me and just bring 1 burberry powder.

katred - Great list! Their eyeshadows are so finely milled, and not frosty or flat matte. I want to get one soon but can't decide on which!

 

ikram - I love the packaging of the blush, so I think the powder compact is the same too. lol you should cut down on the number of lipsticks! I carry 4 or 5 lipsticks and lipglosses daily and I think I'm insane lol. I agree on how sturdy the compacts are, since it is magnetic, the catch will not break off like Diorskin Nude compact (cheap transparent plastic!), and the blush compact is less thick than Chanel's compact.

 

The packaging of the lipsticks and lipglosses, and mascara didn't win me over though. They are very bulky and I carry my lippies everywhere so I appreciate sleek ones like Chanel's. I think the packaging is stopping me from buying more lip covers though I love the formula. I'm indifferent to the foundation packaging. It does look bulky but when I put MUFE HD foundation next to it, they are almost the same size. This reminds me that my Diorskin Nude compact is not the first faulty Dior product I got. I had a Diorskin ExtremeFit foundation which pump couldn't work after only a few weeks. When I brought my faultly compact to Dior recently, the SA actually said that they always get customers returning foundations with pumps that wouldn't work , but not a broken compact like mine. Lol. I hope Burberry foundation pump would work till my last drop.

 

 

Katred I have all 3 eye shadows I agree with Ikram Rosewood the nicest among all three. Cameo blush is also one of my favorite, it is a lady like colour. One thing with lip mists though they are slightly softer than most lipsticks so don't put them anywhere to hot. Great choices, you will love them.

Found out that Nordstrom's won't ship Lip Mists to Canada. Growl. I'll just end up placing an order with them directly, I guess, but it's currently in a line behind a few others. Just placed my very first order for products from Rouge Bunny Rouge, a brand I've been curious about for a while now.

I just started getting into this line - and I'm really liking it.  I'm into more natural/classic looks lately, so this line is perfect for that.

 

So far I have:

 

Lip Cover in Red Brick and Nude Rose

Blushes in Earthy and Cameo

Eyeshadows in Trench, Rosewood and Midnight Brown

 

I've got more on the way, including a couple more shadows and the liquid foundation and a couple of glosses.

 

Even though the eyeshadows are called Sheer, I find them to be very nicely pigmented and blendable.  Between this line, Edward Bess, and Tom Ford my beauty addiction is spendy lately!

Hi Rachel! Hope you like the foundation, I like it a lot. Let us know what you think of the glosses. I wish I can try EB and TF too, thought my wallet is probably relieved that I can't get them here.

MzzRach, your choices are great, I love Brick Red the most, such a creamy and universally flattering red. I'm waiting to swatch Earthy to see if it will be a good contour color for me.

 

MissQQ, the glosses feel a lot like Chanel's ETDG to me with Chanel being a notch better.

 

Swatches of Spring

 

look like Spring collection is either already available or will be very soon.

 

On my list for now Golden Peach and Devon Sunset.

I will wait for comparisons of Pale Barley to other shadows but from this swatch it reminded me of Chanel Rose Platinum pencil.

Glosses are skip for me, one is too sheer and will be probably looking similar to Nude Beige I already have and the other seems too bright and way our of my comfort zone.

My Spring pick for gloss is Blush.

Devon Sunset pics

 

here is look much more orange than in previous swatch.

 

I guess I will have to go check them out in person before deciding.

Hmmm...that is disappointing as Chanel RP did not work on me at all. I bet alot of people will like it if they're similar tho.

I saw the Pale Barley shadow this past weekend - agree that is does look similar to the Chanel Rose P liner - very soft metallic.

 

Katred! I placed an RBR order today!  I was bummed at they're out of a few of the eyeshadows I want, but I'll keep checking......I have been so wanting to try the line - I just wish it was available online in this continent - 

 

What did you order?

 

I love Rosewood e/s, and just ordered Barley, Tulip Pink, Primrose Hill Pink, and Devon Sunset.  I love Cameo and Earthy blushes, and have Rose blush on order.  Midnight Brown is one of my favorite e/s!

Ikram - Thanks for the links!

 

Cheryl - I look forward to hearing your thoughts about your new makeup!

 

Everything look beautiful! My money will be going to burberry this spring. All the lipsticks look lovely and I love the formula, so I could get all 4. I don't have Ever Hip and it is good to know Devon Sunset is a dupe in a better formula! I love Rose Platine (my first ever makeup backup) so Pale Barley will be mine!

Pale Barley looks very pretty in Sabrina's review:

I agree that it looks very similar to RP. Maybe the shade would look better on me as a shadow rather than as a liner?  RP did not show up on me at all.
