Burberry Beauty - Page 7

I wonder if it will come to our counter and when will it too. Review of the bronzer. It looks so pretty.

Miss QQ thanks for posting the link, oh I want. we have been bombarded with very pretty bronzers these season, can't decide between the Guerlain, Dior, Chanel or Burberry. Perhaps I close my eyes and collect them all.

Same here.

 

I am leaning towards Guerlain. I like the Burberry but think it is too light for the summer.

Did anyone see or heard something about the new lip mists which are coming out with summer collex?

^^ Not sure but there is this nude collection lip mists.

Sabrina just reviewed them:

^^ Are you getting the powder?

 

I just saw her review. I think the powder is more like a highlighter if we use the colours all mixed together, but if we use the left side it can be quite dark and used as a bronzer. I think I'll cave for it. The lip mists though, haven't won me over. I have a test card of the lip mists of the old colours that I haven't try, it's time to try them. I like the lip covers, except that my Antique Rose bullet broke because it is so soft. I want Tulip Pink from Spring.

Love the lip mists.

 

I own 2 lip mists, Blueberry and Stormy Pink and it is great formula.

 

I am looking now for a nude pink. I have Cameo Pink lip cover but would like something even more nudish. And like the nude peach too. I might stop by the counter to try them.

 

I will probably pass on the powder just because I dont need it, I have quad from Edward Bess in South of France what I think is same idea of the highlight side of the quad. I am starting to be very picky with my purchases just because I dont want to overclutter my makeup corner.

 

I didnt pick up anything from Spring either. I still want lipgloss in Blush and the countouring powder in Earthy.

 

And I am on my second bottle of the foundation. None of the other foundations I tried felt so light, moisturizing  and creamy.

 

 

I may give the powder a try too. I think it's really pretty. Let us know if you get it. I'd like to try Pink Heather lip mist too but I don't care for the scent of their lipsticks.

Another review of the bronzer. There is a strong scent and she says it is even stronger than the usual blush scent.

Ikram - I like the foundation too. It lasts all day on top of all the positive points you mentioned. Do you use the primer?

I love the Burberry scent in lipsticks and blush. I do not find it much different from Chanel JC smell. I saw lots of people to complain about Burberry scent but no one about JC.

But I am a person who is not sensitive to scents nor I have sensitive skin. I will have to go to sniff this powder.

I love scented makeup, it is such a luxury, in contrary to it being worse for the skin and more irritating but I am picky with how much scented stuff I put on my face.

I will probably too, I am easily swayed. With the good experiences I have with Burberry products, I bet this will be a great one too. I don't mind the scent too.

I got the new lip mists in nude peach, field rose, pink heather and the nude honey is on its way. My favorites are the nude peach and field rose. They have a beautiful sheerness that seem to glow when you put them on. And they're very moisturizing, and not as sticky as gloss. These have got to be my favorites that have come out by far. I also have brown sugar and copper. I tried feather pink, but it was too cool for me, field rose is everything I wanted feather pink to be. I bought these sight unseen and don't regret it.

I bought Pink Heather lip mist and really love it. I don't find the scent to be as strong as it is with the regular lipsticks. Either that or I just got a weakly scented one.  I love the creaminess of it. Will probably order Field Rose now.  I also got the Sheer Summer Glow powder. I am pleasantly surprised that the heavy fragrance is not bothering my rosacea. I like the color swirled all together but I'm also going to give it a try the way Amy at Cafemakeup described.

^^ Is the lip mist sticky and is it as creamy as the lip cover? How do you wear the powder? Do you dust it on like writing a 3 and E? I was thinking I could skip the powder because I like the Dior bronzer I just bought, but now you are making it hard for me to pass. Pleased to know you enjoy your two new purchases!

Thanks! Yes, I applied it like a bronzer. The lip mist is not sticky at all. As far as comparing the creaminess vs their regular lipsticks I really can't since I only tried one regular one a long time ago, but it definitely feels creamier and more moisturizing than for example a Rouge coco, even a good one. lol I wish we could see swatches of Dior 001 vs the Burberry because I am tempted by the Dior as well but I sort of suspect no one needs both?

I want to see swatches of Dior 001 and this Burberry side by side too. I agree, don't need both but I suspect Burberry can be darker because the darker shade is darker than Dior's. The lip mist sounds very nice. Does it last as long as a good rouge coco?

Yes, the lasting power is good. I tried it again today though with your specific question about stickiness in mind and I am going to say it does initially feel a little sticky. I guess it's not that much since I'm a big complainer and didn't notice on my own .... only after you specifically asked (thanks for that, btw  ).  The Lip Mists are more moisturizing but the advantage of the Rouge Cocos and Rouge Coco Shines for me is that they don't contain parabens. How much that *really* matters I don't know, but so many companies are removing them these days that it's easy to find lipsticks without them, so why not do so? That's how I think of it anyway.

^^ Thanks very much too! I will try them at the counter and see how much I like the colours. I'm on a no-buy for chanel lipsticks for now, not because I dislike them but I have too many and want to use up a few of them first. I also want to use the money to try other lipsticks. I usually don't pay attention to the ingredients in makeup but now that you mention parabens are present in burberry lipsticks, that may curb me from buying too many of them.

They are also in Chanel Rouge Allures. I'll be interested to see whether or not they include them in the fall reformulation.

Lip mists are much more pigmented and long laating than Rouge Coco shines. RCS are more like balms compared to Lip Mists. But I prefer the texture of Lip Mists by far.

I found my lip mists test card and tried Feather Pink. It felt much more moisturising and long lasting than the RCS. The scent is littler than the lip covers too.

 

Messywands shows how she uses sheer summer glow palette to contour the face.

I think the palette will be great for me as a contour palette too, but not so much as a bronzer since I already have a few bronzers and I don't wear them all the time. And if I wear bronzers like blushes, they can be too dark or brown. My go-to contour shade is Earthy Blush but it doesn't come with a highlight shade like this summer glow palette.

The price for the bronzer is crazy in Singapore, it is selling for SGD$90 as compared to USD $50. I have decided to order from Nordstrom instead.

Good idea. That price is crazy!

 

You saw the bronzer? I hope I can look at it this weekend. I suppose you are buying it then, so what do you like about it and how different is it from Dior 003?

Het Miss QQ, I managed to pop by the Burberry counter for a look and swatch.the bronzer is slightly more shimmery than the Dior bronzer. I feel that it is different enough to justify getting both. The colours are more beige brown, depending on which part of the palette you use you can highlight and contour. I came home with Heather Pink lip mist.

^^ Thanks! Enjoy your new goodies! I saw the collection today and I like Heather Pink too. I swatched the bronzer and it blended right into my skin at the back of my hand. I think it will show up on my ace, but I wasn't feeling it. It is very soft and finely milled. I may change my mind but it is very expensive. It is different enough from my Dior 001.

How would you say it's different from Dior 001 Miss QQ?

Dior is more pink than Burberry. Although Dior has four quadrants with 2 different colours, I use the colours mixed together because there isn't much difference when I use them on their own. I think it will be nice to use the burberry colours on their own. I swatched the white and feel it can be a good soft highlighter. Have you tried the powder like Cafemakeup's way?On my hand, the powder is less shimmery than Dior's.

No, I've been too lazy to play with it that much and I need to wash my brushes.  I did use it again but just all mixed together.
