Burberry Beauty - Page 9

Oh thank you Miss QQ! That lippy is gorgeous .. and the eyeshadows 

Thanks for the link, MIssQQ! Mulberry e/s looks so beautiful and I really like the look of Sepia Pink lipstick. 

Thank you for the link! I knew I'd like the eye shadows, but I wasn't so sure about the lip covers. Mocha Glow looks too brown for me, but Sepia Pink looks really nice! Perfect for fall! Looking forward to seeing a swatch of White Porcelain e/s. I wonder how it will compare to Porcelain and Trench. 

Nice swatches of Mulberry:

Oh, it's even more beautiful than I've imagined!

Gorgeous!! Want!

My Nordstrom's SA called to tell me the fall collection is in. I ordered the eye shadows, Sepia Pink and the new foundation. It's all online now as well.

Oh, there is no sign of the bright pink blush in the promo pic and the quads right?

Peanut, please, tell us your thoughts about the new foundation and eyeshadows when you get them!

Will do! My SA said that the same shades for the Sheer Cover foundation apply to the new long-lasting foundation. So I ordered #6 sight unseen. (I'll cross my fingers on that one.) As for the blush, they shouldn't tease us with promos and not deliver!!! lol! I'd love a new bright pink blush! Although I'm in love with Peony, I'm always excited for more shades! 

I think the quads are coming in September, but I'm not positive. I hope it's a little while because I'll need to save now that I've spent!

It's the new Velvet foundation. It's supposed to be long-lasting formula (yea!!!) with a "matte, soft velvety finish."

I'll try feather pink for a while before deciding which formula I prefer.
Winthrop - The SA taught me another way to use the summer powder, the top two shades and the bottom two shades. The top two gives a more pinky colour and can be a blush. I'm going to try it in all possible ways but I'll take my time.

I tried the lip mist on a whim and i love the formula.  It is like a balmy gloss and it lasts forever on the lips. It isnt sticky and the pigment is lovely. I bought it in stormy pink-which is a beautiful color but a bit subdued for me.  But I wear it all the time b/c it feels so good!

Was interested in the eyeshadows but I like Chanel's better although Burberry has more product.

I love how Burberry makeup always makes you feel a leeeetle bit better about spending that much on a item of makeup by making the packaging so darn luxe. I've tried an eyeliner and bronzer from them. While I wasn't fussed about the eyeliner in terms of longevity, I did like it defined the eye without closing it up. I also love the bronzer, it's great for contouring. 

I dont think the eyeliners are their strong products. From what I heard the mascara and liners are the weakest of the line.

Eyeshadows, foundation, blush, lipsticks and glosses are great introduction.

I got my package yesterday and will try out the new foundation today. By the way, I wear #6 in the Sheer Cover foundation and my SA was pretty sure I would wear 206 in the new foundation. But she sent me a note saying that she ended up choosing 203, which in the bottle, looks almost identical to 206. So, I guess the shades are different after all. I'll let you know how good a match it is for NW20-25.

At first swipe, I don't think you need Porcelain White if you have White Pearl. And I thought that Dark Sable looked almost identical to Taupe Brown, but a quick swipe showed that Dark Sable is actually more neutral brown-toned while Taupe Brown is more of a charcoal brown. Mulberry looks wonderful!! Looking forward to trying it! I also got Sepia Pink, which looked too dark for me in the tube but may work out fine after all -- kind of a rosey MLBB. 

Has anyone tried Burberry's concealer pens? I'm really interested but don't have a counter around me.

I find the concealer pens provide light coverage, it would be probably better for someone who does not have serious dark circles around the eyes. It does not cake and feels lightweight.

So I've worn the Velvet foundation for a couple days now. I thought the 203 I received was going to be too light, but it actually got a bit darker after it dried. It's a pretty good match for my NW20-25 complexion except it's yellow toned and I prefer something more neutral. 

The first day I applied it (on top of a primer), I thought I wouldn't be able to wear it because it felt too dry. After a short time though, it melted right in and felt quite comfortable. The second day I applied a moisturizer underneath and had no problem. It's a definite improvement over the Sheer for length of wear. It looked great 6 hours later when I checked. 

I spoke with Susie, my SA in Walnut Creek (she's wonderful!), regarding other shades that might work better. Since I can't get to a counter to pick a color myself I like to know all my options. Here's what she told me: 

201 - very pale yellow toned
202 - very pale lt pink toned
203 - light yellow toned
204 - slightly darker than 204, also yellow toned
205 - deeper than 203 but less yellow 

I'm interested in 205 since it's less yellow, but it might be too dark. The 203 that I have may be just fine -- I'll just try to remember that the yellow is canceling red. lol!

Sabrina put up a wonderful review of the eye shadows today:

I like the concealer itself, but not necessarily the pen. I find that I click it once and wait. And wait. And wait some more. And nothing happens. So I click it twice and then get way too much. It finally ran out so I bought another one. Maybe this pen won't be so irritable. I have it in #2 and wear #6 in the Sheer foundation. I agree with mjacqueline -- it's not a heavy-duty concealer, but it also doesn't sink into fine lines. Very natural.

I was about to order 204 since I'm a trench 04 in the old ones. Good thing I still haven't!
Nc15-20 here. You think I may have to get 201?

Oops...I see I messed that up. Yes, 204 is slightly darker than 203. I thought 203 was around an NC25, maybe NC20. I spoke with one other person who ordered. She is an NC25 and 204 was recommended. So it sounds like you're going to be 201 or 203. I hope you can get a good match! I'm supposed to be getting a few samples, in which case I'll let you know just how light 201 is.
