Based upon the number of emails that I have received asking me (read: cajoling me) to tell you what I bought in my newfound crazed state of Burberry love- I thought that I would do a quick post to show you. TADA! I will swatch and review them very soon!
I love reading all of your comments and interacting with you- so please do not hesitate to share your thoughts, and to ask questions. Remember that what you have to say is of interest to all of us! Always feel free to email me directly as well. SPAM and advertising links will not be published.
I own Rosewood and Midnight Brown and love both!
ReplyDeleteHi patuxxa! I love both of those shades as well-- they really are gorgeous!! Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteOoooh!! Can't wait to see. I live vicariously through other people's Burberry access.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are classic neutrals and the quality is fantastic, Kate!! :-)
Deletedrool! lol, i have my eye on their new quads. are you planning on getting them?
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie,
DeleteI swatched all of them at the Topanga Canyon Nordstrom the other day, but actually didn't take any pictures. I'm still deliberating about the quads. I have read the mixed reviews, but still haven't decided whether or not I plan on getting any. The colors are beautiful, but I have many of the shades in my stash-- I will go back again and play with them before deciding. What about you? <3
You have gone for some lovely shades :) I'm going back and forth on the eye quads at the moment as the reviews are so mixed but its difficult to resist the pull... ;) x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Replica!! I am also going back and forth on the quads. The reviews are quite mixed, but I also feel that I have many of the colors in my stash and don't want to duplicate. I want to go swatch them again and see how I feel. I'm in no rush, plus I am really lusting over a few of their blushes- since I don't have any of them in my stash. It seems like it is very difficult to resist the pull of Burberry in general! xoxox
DeleteHi Lola,
ReplyDeleteWow, even in lipsticks you picked the same exact colors as I did. Lol, excellent choice!
I've been loving the Giorgio Armani Nude lip set & honestly would have not bother looking at it if it wasn't for your post!
Thanks for having such great taste in beauty products ;)
I knew we were birds of a feather, Naomi!!!! We certainly do seem to be makeup dopplegangers! :-) I'm glad that you approve of my choices!! Have you received your quads yet? If so, do you love them as much as your singles? I'm so glad that you are loving the Giorgio Armani Nude Lip Set-- I had a feeling that you would!! It's such a great set, and it goes with just about everything-- I'm madly in love with it!!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!! xoxo
I can't wear Burberry lipsticks because of the fragrance but I like the e/s a lot. Pale Barley and Midnight Brown are staples for me.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a shame that they add fragrance to the lipsticks-- because it is a deal breaker for so many people. THe formula is so lovely- and were it not for the fragrance many more people would enjoy these lovely lippies!! I agree with you about Pale Barley and Midnight Brown-- they are definitely new staples for me!!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!!
You picked colors that are at the top of my wishlist! Gorgeous! I've read mixed reviews on the quads as well. Really wish I had a counter to see this line URL.
ReplyDeleteHi lov2read68! They really are gorgeous, and the quality is really phenomenal! I am still undecided about the quads-- I need to visit them again and see how I feel. Many of the colors are similar to colors that i already have in my stash-- so those will likely not be going home with me. I just need to swatch them again. As I recall after having swatched them at Nordstrom (but I didn't take pictures), most were butter soft, but i recall a few shades that weren't as soft or pigmented, but most seemed quite nice. However, I wasn't too focused on them- so I definitely need to go back. Plus, at the price point- I need to be sure that i will love the quad and use it regularly!! I wish that you had a counter nearby. I can say that the singles that I purchased are very high quality and quite lovely!!
DeleteOOOOOHMYYYYYGOODNESS!!! Helen, you are absolutely KILLING ME right now!! You got every single eyeshadow shade I am DYING to have, PLUS the 2 Lip Mists I really, really want (particularly the Blueberry Lip Mist that I've been wanting for fall/winter)! How did you know?? It's like you reached into my head and pulled out my Burberry cravings!! :P Can't wait to read more about them! (ok, I need to breaaathe :P lol)
ReplyDeleteYou will LOVE Field Rose--it's my absolute favorite lipstick!!
Hee hee hee!! I thought that you might enjoy my choices, Becca! YOU MUST GET THESE!!!! I got the Blueberry Lip Mist because of you!! Burberry is making me lose my mind at a faster rate than any of the other luxury lines right now!! This could get rather expensive!! I fear what would happen if we went to a Burberry counter together!
DeleteField Rose is GORGEOUS!! You are in large part responsible for my Burberry obsession!!
xoxoxox
LOL! That WOULD be quite a scary thing to see...but soooooo fun!! Maybe one day?!! :P Are you planning on picking up any of the eye palettes? I believe that my next Burberry purchase will be the Pink Taupe palette and the Blueberry Lip Mist (though I REALLY want another blush now too--it's been WAY too long! :P).
DeleteI think we should do it, actually!! We are both in So Cal after all! I can only imagine the enabling!! :D OMG-- we really have the same taste-- the Pink Taupe palette was the one that spoke to me too! I am thinking about it! I really love the Blueberry Lip Mist-- it will be gorgeous on you! I am going to get the Peony blush, but also have my eye on Misty and Cameo (thanks to your review). I am also liking the sample that I got of their luminous foundation. Oh, and I am sort of wanting the Feather Pink Lip Mist as well. I am having a bad case of Burberry fever!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! <3
DeleteOh my goodness--I ALMOST forgot you were in So-Cal too!! :D I'm soooo excited right now!! :P Any chance you bought those lovely Burberry goodies at the South Coast Nordstrom counter??
DeleteThat's exciting that we have the same taste--I always love a good timeless, well-done collection (which is why I love Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Giorgio Armani, and Burberry SO much!!) :) And GAWD--I almost forgot how pretty Feather Pink is too. I got a sample and fell in LOVE--such a pretty, wearable pink. And you would LOVE Cameo, Helen!! Yes, we definitely must plan something in the future (though maybe a good while after Christmas or I will be tempted to blow all my money for presents with you :P haha)
I know, right?!!!!! :D No, I picked them up at the Topanga Canyon Nordstrom in Woodland Hills-- I was driving that way and decided to stop. The closest place to get Burberry for me is at Saks in Beverly Hills though.
DeleteI agree we definitely need to go have some shopping fun together!! Definitely after December! We really do have the same taste!! Feather Pink and Cameo are definitely on my list!
xoxox
You guys are hilarious!
DeleteCrazed Burberry behavior, BooBoo!!!!!!!!!!<3
DeleteLovely colors and shades. But is it true that the lippies have scents? I do not prefer lippies with scents for I have the tendency to smell them always when I am wearing them.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily,
DeleteThey are really lovely colors! Yes, it is true that they are scented. While the strong scent (seems to be rose) doesn't bother me-- it is a deal breaker for lots of people. I find that the scent disappears before too long, but I definitely know people who won't use them because the scent bothers them. That said, the formula is exceptionally good. Since you don't like scents in lipsticks- this will likely be a miss for you, but if you have the opportunity to go to a Burberry counter I would encourage you to look at (and smell them) to see if they are a hit or miss. :-)
ooo i have been interested in those lipstick shades... and yay for eyeshadows! my midnight brown and pale barley arrived recently, and i have antique rose which is similarish to rosewood (and i found works a bit better for my skintone)
ReplyDeleteThe lip mist colors that I got are GORGEOUS! The eye shadows are simply amazing-- you will really really love them! I will definitely have to check out antique rose. I can't wait to read your reviews. Of course with the size of your November haul it might take you until your 90 years old to get to everything, Joyce!! ;D
