Burberry Beauty - Page 10

I can't wait to try the new foundation. I'm about NC20 and use sheer foundation #6. Maybe 203 or 204 for me, and depending on how neutral or pink or yellow 205 is.

Please do let us know what you think and what shade you're matched to

I have no burberry counter where I live so I will be purchasing online and guessing my shade!

^^ Sure! My counter gets new collection very late though, so no idea when I'll see them.

Hi girls! Any news on the new foundation? No one seems to be posting a review on the blogosphere either! I wonder how it can go so unnoticed, like there were Ads everywhere and everyone just shrugged it off in favor of Mulberry and the lip covers lol

I have a sample coming. The sa said it would be ok for dry skin. I have read it was too matte, we shall see.

I was able to get a sample of the new foundation from Holts Toronto on Bloor Street.  As a Asian gal with golden undertones, I am currently using Trench No. 7 in the Sheer foundation with Fresh Glow mixed in to lighten it a bit.  In the winter I'm Trench No. 5.  I've matched with MUFE 125 (altho I find it a bit pink for me) and I'm typically between NC25-30.  I currently match best with Medium-Dark Careblend pressed powder.  (sorry for that long bit, just wanted to give as best idea as possible given matching foundation colours are so particular!)

 

The SA said that she finds it oxidizes pretty quickly so it's better to go a bit lighter than you'd expect if judging by bottle alone.  It did seem to darken before my eyes as she rubbed it into her hand with a finger.  I got 204 and 203, going first with the sample of 204.  I do love how it looks when I first apply it but I haven't noticed much difference in appearance as the day goes on.  Note that I work at Starbucks (read: not exactly a cool working environment) and recently have been outside more than usual.  I've tried it with/without P&P transparent pressed powder, with/without Summer Glow palette all over, buffed in with either 187 or MUFE kabuki.  None have really made a huge difference in wear time.  It looked fantastic on the SA tho!  In the nicely AC'd Holt's store, of course. ;-)

 

I'll try it again when the weather cools and also with various coverage levels (I'm doing medium coverage with a 190 brush).  I have found it's more sheer than the original foundation which the SA also mentioned.  Strange, I know!

^ thank you so much! That's very helpful. Now I know I shold get shade 1 for sure! really inetersting that it's sheer as well

I want this Burberry lipgloss! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me7aAGcVD38

I got around to trying out the lip mist samples I received and they are great to say the least. However due to the melting factor I've read from reviews, I won't be purchasing any.

swatches of the Burberry velvet foundation would be so great please! I'm NC20 but i can't decide on what color i should get. =(  I tried the 204 but it's too dark and orangey 

I tried the lip mist on today when I was shopping and I just had to get it, the formula is just too great to pass up. I'm keeping the receipt in case it melts and I'll take it back and exchange it for a new one if that happens.

 

I was given a sample of the Fresh Glow highlighter to try, I'll come back with my thoughts on it when I test it out. I was also given a sample of the foundation but I threw it away because I already have a HG foundation and not looking to purchase a new one. Plus it looked too orange so I doubt it would have matched anyway. 

 

NP!  I was hoping for more reviews too but not much to be found.  Judging from some reviews on the sheer foundation tho, it still may just be how it adjusts to your skin.  A previous poster noted that she is NC20 and uses Trench no. 7 which I find is too dark for me as an NC25/30.  Having spent less time outside lately, I've been able to use 204 with a bit of Fresh Glow (2:1) or Trench 7 with more FG (1:1 almost).  Come winter I'll be back to Trench 5!  Looking to get the powder form tho as with Baby #2 on the way, I'll have less time to buff in liquid.

 

I might be able to do some but they would be with old samples and not until next week.  Hopefully someone can help before then but if not, I will do what I can.  =)

 

In the mean time.... does anyone know what's in the upcoming GWP?  I know it's a full-sized e/s, deluxe sample size l/s, mini Burberry Body and a cosmetic bag.  I really want to know what the e/s and l/s are!  I'm thinking of getting Russet blush, Sepia Pink/Dark Sable/Military Red and another blush/the powder foundation/the concealer.... I wish my wallet wasn't so empty!  And that it wasn't so expensive in Canada.  =(

Recently the GWP was Pale Rose (or pale pink) eyeshadow- one of the colors to be discontinued. Lipstick were just those sample cards, no actual mini.

I booked a makeover w Burberry tomorrow and was told that the shadow is either Pearl White or Pearl Blue, both of which are being discontinued.  =(  I'm debating buying the one that I don't get in the GWP but I don't know how Pearl Blue would look on my Asian skin or if it's better to just have Porcelain White instead of both white shadows. :shrugs:
 

Doh, I forgot to take pictures!  Ah well, I thought it was a bit overdone anyway, foundation/powder-wise. the MUA was really accomodating though - I got to try 4 different lips!

 

I ended up walking away with: Russet Blush, Peony Rose and Pink Azalea Lip Velvet lipsticks.  I tried on Sepia Pink which I was hoping would be a replacement to my Chanel Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle (found out I'm allergic to it... ) but it pulled brown on me, I think bc of the natural brown in my lip colour.  Peony Rose is the closest for me and is essentially MLBB, a little less bright than Mademoiselle.  Pink Azalea is a beautiful berry red that can be worn so easily as a stain and built up to a non-overwhelming darker lip.

 

Lip velvets are amazing.  Of course, they're drier than the lip covers but I can wear them comfortably all day with maybe a dab of gloss or lip balm.  The packaging is also matte!  I wasn't expecting that so I squealed with delight when I unpackaged it.  Since I was having a makeover and not fiddling with testers on my own, I didn't realize the matching packaging until later.  =D

 

Having tested the Velvet Foundations, I think I'm going to stick with the Sheer Foundation for now.  It's a gorgeous finish but I find it a bit too matte for my tastes.  That might change once winter hits!  I'm not quite back to NC25 yet but 202 works well enough on me (I posted the wrong colour earlier, sorry!  I'll fix the post!!)

 

I'll try to take pics of the products tonight.  Sorry I can't get around to it earlier!

Do you know whether the Lip Velvets are paraben-free?

 

Sorry for the preggy-mommy brain, which apparently affects how I see colours as well.  Pink Azalea is definitely berry and has elements of red (of course) but not a berry red.  As in, it's not a red with berry tones.  It's definitely a berry, a deep one.  Hopefully one of the bloggers post on it soon so you'd have a better idea than my brain-fogged description.

 

Also, I do actually have a sample of 203.  Sorry for the confusion!  And yes, it's still working on me fairly well, altho a bit too pale with Fresh Glow underneath (not mixed in as I usually have it).

 

And swatches.  Should my toddler nap well tomorrow, they shall be done.  =)

 

I'll have to wait till I get back home to check the boxes.  We're currently living in a hotel while the condo fixes our ceiling.  Sounded like fun at first but in reality... having a fridge full of food is nice!

I am using #6 sheer foundation (said #7 wrongly previously) and was matched to 201 velvet foundation, but I personally find it too pale. 202 is more pink, so maybe 203 would be good, but I wouldn't be buying the foundation for now. I tried Mulberry eyeshadow on my eyes and didn't like it at all. It made me look tired and sick. Sepia Pink is beautiful though! My counter is not getting the lip velvets or eyeshadow quads. Has anyone seen the quads in real?

Hi all, I just recently bought the velvet foundation, I am a NC30-35 matched with Burberry Sheer foundation in Trench 7, I was matched to the velvet foundation in 204. This is one foundation you need to try on your skin because another friend of mine who is fairer and has a pink tone was matched to 205. I'm not posting  review yet because I want to try it out a little more before I do a detailed one but you can see swatches at the thread because I posted some up. Initial thoughts: I love the coverage, Matt but does not look flat on the face. I have very oily skin so after abut 5 hours I need to blot. Medium to full coverage and applies very well with fingers. I kinda love it. I hope this helps.

How much do you usually need to spend to receive a GWP?

Doesnt look like it

Dont think the quads are out anywhere. Last time I asked about them at the counter they have never heard of them.

So lets see what happens. Not that I need anymore quads.

I am getting Guerlain quad as well as Holiday Chanel so I do not mind Burberry to come out later. For now I will not buy anymore Burberry singles just to wait it out.

 

That's too bad you are not getting the velvets. I am not into bold lip but I got lured by a youtube video showing Pink Azalea. I might go to the counter today if I have time and ask the SA to choose bold fall shade for me.

Love Burberry lippies, they are my HG so I am sure I will like these more than Chanel Velvets.

Just got Pink Azalea lip velvet.

 

The mysterious eye quads are for real and will be out in November!!!!

Not crazy about the diagonal design but, still, resistance is futile:

I'll want them all! This is really going to mess up my holiday makeup budget! lol!

It's quite low on the list, but I see polyparaben.

 

OMG I'm so stoked.

I just bought my first Burberry Pale Barley Eyeshadow and Mocha Glow lipstick.  Love them both.  I wanted Mulberry but they were out of stock.  I plan to go back for that one as well as Dark Sable and a few others.  Now these new eye quads, do they contain existing colors or new colors?
