There is no question that the Burberry Siren Red Spring 2013 Collection features beautifully rich saturated hues that might seem uncharacteristic of the Burberry's quintessentially tasteful neutrals, but it turns out that they are quite adept at bold perfectly on-trend colors as well. In fact, one might arguably suggest that their bold hues are as spectacular as their signature neutrals. I would suggest that Burberry has stepped into a whole new arena, and has done so with great style.
Pink Sweet Pea Lip Glow Natural Lip Gloss No. 20, which is one of four new Lip Glow shades, is the only limited edition piece from the collection. It is a gorgeous highly saturated fuchsia, with multi-colored pearl, that imparts the perfect amount of twinkle (not unfortunate migrating chunks of glitter). It can be sheered out or built up, and it does leave behind a bit of a stain. As saturated as it is, it remains a lip gloss rather than a liquid lipstick or a hybrid formula- in other words, it is not so opaque as to completely obscure the visibility of your lips below.
The formula is smooth and creamy, and not in the least bit sticky. I get about 2-3 hours of wear time out of this formula with normal use, but your wear-time may vary.

$27.00 I picked mine up at Nordstrom.
So pretty! UGH I need this!
ReplyDeleteYes you do, Christa! Pink Sweet Pea is so gorgeous, and it is also quite wearable!!! <3
DeleteWow, a stunning shade!!!! From your swatch, seems like it also has some red in it. Not sure how to incorporate it in my look book. But since it's a gloss I guess it's quite versatile.
ReplyDeleteIt is even more stunning in person!! That said, if it isn't a color that you will covet and use- then skip it and spend it elsewhere. It is versatile though as you said- because it is a gloss and not a vibrant and opaque lipstick with great intensity. Have a lovely weekend! <3
DeleteThis is so pretty. If only they didn't put that fragrance in. Or maybe I should be glad about that!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a pretty shade! Saving the money and curbing the temptation- means that you can make room for the next temptation on the list.
DeleteI'm not a gloss person but this shade is gorgeous! I hope I'll get to see this collection in person soon. I'm pretty sure I'll end up picking up a blush or something :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny! Thanks for stopping by! This gloss is definitely stunning!! The blushes are also stunning. I swatched the entire collection, if you haven't seen everything yet-- the whole collection is so gorgeous!
DeleteHi ;)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I can't wait for your additional swatches on the Fondant pink once it arrives! I couldn't help but notice on your twitter feed your claim of RBR Solstice Halcyon is the PERFECT TAUPE! Haha...I was thinking of buying it today along with the newly released Eclipse Eagle, but was wondering how Solstice Halcyon compared to Burberry's Rosewood? Do you think they are different enough or is one better than the other?

Hi Naomi!! I'm losing my mind waiting for Fondant Pink-- I'm not really sure what's going on with it. I got an email from Nordstrom stating that my order was "delayed" and as of yesterday if wasn't even listed on the Nordstrom website. The Burberry website said they were out of stock. I'm going to call to see if I can find out what's going on. OMG-- I love Solstice Halcyon!! I will swatch and post SH and Rosewood for you to see. They are similar, but swatched next to one another you can see some differences. As soon as I get enough light I will swatch and post them for you-- I will also add in Chantecaille Sel and anything else similar- maybe NARS 413 BLKR and Lhasa (today or tomorrow). They are both extraordinary quality- it would be hard to choose. Eclipse Eagle is definitely on my list as well!!!! xoxox
Deletei got this since it is LE! I knew I would be SO sad if I missed it! I'm planning to wear it properly tomorrow! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was my feeling as well-- I definitely would have regretted not getting this one! I can't wait to hear what you think after you wear it!! :-)
DeleteOMG! This is such a pretty gloss!!! Exactly the shade that I love to wear!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it such a lovely and happy shade?! I highly recommend it! Have a lovely weekend, Pammy!
DeleteGorgeous shade! Very unBurberry, it will be interesting to see if they continue to release bold shades!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! I squealed when I saw it in person-- I felt like I was at the wrong counter!!!!! I wish that they would make this shade part of their permanent range as a lovely alternative to neutrals! Have a great weekend, Jessika!
DeleteSuch a pretty isn't it, I'm also thinking of buying the coral one as well, strange as I'm not really a gloss fan ;) xx
ReplyDeleteI agree! The coral one is so gorgeous as well- and the multicolored pearl makes it all the more stunning! It is so unusual to see buying lip gloss!!! Leave it to Burberry to make one that you couldn't resist! Have a lovely weekend, Replica! <3
DeleteThanks a lot! I had myself totally convinced that I didn't need this and now seeing your swatches I realize that I really do! Enabler! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBest, Lisamarie
Hi Lisamarie and Christelle!
DeleteSorry that Replica and I are both teasing you with this beauty! I think that you might just need this one!! Thanks for stopping by!
Have a lovely weekend, :-) Helen
That is SUCH a pretty colour. I was pleased when you mentioned that lip colour will still show through, as I think this would make it very wearable paired with neutral eyeshadows. Thanks for sharing such gorgeous pictures Helen :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a really worthwhile gloss to have in your stash! I think it would be stunning on you! I agree that it can be made very wearable paired with neutral eyeshadows! I'm so glad that you liked the pictures! xo
