Is the Burberry more of a champagne color than gold? That how it looks on my monitor. I actually like this very much as it's not as shimmery as I expected. A little apprehensive about the crumbling issue but love the color!!

If I'm being honest, it looks better on screen than on my eyes On my lids, it pulls a dull, flat khakish "gold." I hate to call it gold, bc it really doesn't translate as gold on me in any way, or champagne lol. But of course this is my experience, it may look incredible on you! The quality is sub par, very stiff and dry, but shade wise it's just not translating well on me personally. And I think once i compared it to the Dior, it was the nail in the coffin. Are you able to swatch it in person??

That's most helpful!! I like the idea of a pink champagne much more than a khaki-ish gold. I wonder if it matches the Antique Gold Effortless Kohl Eyeliner, which I bought and debated returning.

No swatching opportunities, but the Burberry SA I order from really tried to talk me into it. I resisted. Think that might have been a good move!

I didn't have issues with cumbling. On my NW15/uber-pink skin, it pulls a color almost identical to Holiday 2014 gold nail polish. I posted links to swatches of that upthread.

And sorry folks, but I'm at work before the sun comes up and come home after sunset. Yes, 7 days a week right now. I have personal commitments that require me to work an odd schedule.

otherwise I'd paint my nails with 2014 gold and swatch the new gold shadow next to them.

Ouch! That's a rough schedule- don't burn yourself out!!! Glad your shadow isn't crumbly.

I hate to talk down about this product bc I know there are ladies who do like it, I think I just expected something different than what I got. I wish there were more swatches available so that we could see how it pulls on others!!

Abolutely NOT. I have both.

The gold eyeshadow is close to Chanel's Gold Eyeliner from last holiday (remember, a COOL gold); I've been pairing them effortlessly.

Antique Gold is warm and leans towards bronzy. Night and day.

Thank you! That makes sense! I just got Antique Gold e/l, which I wasn't sure about at first, but think this could go well with a number of Burberry shadows.

I have that polish!! Off to dig it out... I think I'm getting a way better idea what this cream shadow looks like. I do so love their cream shadows! So easy to use, especially on work days when I'm rushed.

How is your mom doing? I hope she's doing okay given everything.
