Ya wish burberry would come out with more substantial collections.. I want to see new blush colours, new lippies, maybe eyeshadow duos would be nice too.I feel like they are going to end up going bankrupt or something because there is so little hype/interest/new product.

The powder has potential, but the eyeshadow palette looks pretty average and I already have Oxblood.

Burberry used to be one of my favourite brands but I can't remember the last time they brought out a new product that really wowed me. The quality seems to be going down too. The eye palettes aren't nearly as good as the singles and those cheek sticks and lip balms they brought out a while ago were really, really bad.

I feel the same as you. When Burberry initially debuted, I liked a lot of their products (foundation, Fresh Glow, Powder foundation, eye palette, blush, etc.!) Now their newer collections just seem repetitive, lackluster and... kinda lazy/boring. I will check out that quad though... sucker for warm neutral palettes. I need to see swatches of the powder; it looks like it could be a pale gold on my skintone which won't work.

Are their quad's quality good enough for the price? I've been eying Mocha (vs Tom Ford's Cocoa Mirage or Charlotte Tilbury Sophisticate) for the longeeest time. My budget is torn between that palette or Earthy blush. And probably that gold Oxblood lip mist because I'm a sucker like that. Yikes.

I wouldn't agree that their palettes are not nice.
They are rather subtle in shimmer, that is true but it doesn't make them less attractive.

I have Dark Spice, Mocha, Plum Pink, Nude Blush, Slate Blue, the green and the pink palettes from Spring as well.
The only one I don't like is Plum Pink but it is not because of the palette but the shades don't coorperate with my skin undertones well and look muddy.
Love? I love Slate Blue, Nude Blush, Dark Spice and I would always reach for Mocha for a subtle daily look.

I find the prices of Burberry also better compared to other brands. Chanel has plastic package and tiny amount of eye shadow and is the same price.
Burberry's blushes are also to die for. They don't do many "limited" items, which I find to be also better. I don't see the urge of releasing pieces less than
their demand to create a fictional "exclusivity". If I have to hunt for things for days and pay for it double, I have to ask myself if I am being reasonable LOL

Anyway, You need Earthy Blush and Mocha they are both beyond gorgeous :)

I love Nude Blush too. For me it's the easiest palette I can wear to look polished and not shitty in a matter of minutes. It's my go-to when I'm running late and still want something on the eyes.

I better pick this up soon then!

Really bites that there are still no dedicated counters in Canada. I guess it may be coming with Nordstrom stores opening in 2015 but since they closed the Holt's counters in 2013, this is a really long wait!!

I found out yesterday that B. Fresh Glow highlighters are not on the website anymore (probably not a part of the permanent collection from the start) which is such a pity. That means that Burberry doesn't offer any powder highlighters at the moment.

Their mono eyeshadows and lip glosses are definitely my favourite among all the brends that i own.

I'm looking forward to the holiday collection, the powder sounds promising

"Gold Glow, above, is a fragranced luminising powder that does one heck of a job at leaving your skin with a subtle golden halo – it’s one of a very few I would wear that enhances the look of your complexion rather than covering it glitter. It’s a warm, golden beige shade in the pan rather than bright gold and the fact that it’s muted and not brash is what makes it give such a beautiful effect on the skin."

I have Dark Spice and it's one of my HG's. On another note, Burberry has new Nude Glow powders; they are sheer, luminous but matte setting powders. Haven't tried mine yet, but it looks gorgeous in the pan. I love a good setting powder so I hope this will be a great one! It comes in 4 shades.

I only see Fresh Glow Compact Foundation and Nude Powders on the website, they both have 4 shades. But the first one is a foundation, not a setting powder. What is the exact name of the one you have? Sounds interesting :)
