Beautiful Burberry Beauty Picks & an Extraordinary Gift with Purchase: Nordstrom Trend Event Topanga Canyon

Purchased by me
As you all most assuredly know by now, my love for Burberry Beauty knows no bounds, and that I dream in their iconic Nova Checks should come as no surprise. To further put me in an unmitigated Burberry frenzy- their exclusive Gift with Purchase for the Nordstrom Trend Show at Topanga Canyon (much more about that later) was so extraordinary that I could barely contain my glee!
 The Gift 
 The Gift with Purchase details:
-Burberry charm with cream lip/cheek
-3 Mini lipsticks: Lip Velvet Antique Pink No. 303, Lip Mist Copper No. 202, and Lip Cover in Rosewood No. 04
-Sheer Concealer sample card with four shades
-Burberry makeup case
-Burberry makeup pouch
-Burberry mini face brush
The Purchases- Top to Bottom (and Left to Right):
Burberry Lip Definer Pencils in Nude Beige No. 01 and Rosewood No. 07 ($27.00 each)
Burberry Light Glow Natural Blush in Rose No. 03 ($42.00)
Burberry Complete Eye Palette in Smokey Grey No. 01 ($59.00)
Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick in English Rose No. 23 ($30.00)

Naturally all of my detailed reviews are forthcoming, as is my huge post covering the Trend Event--so stay tuned for much much more!
Inside all of those beautifully understated elegant packages one will find a sublime selection of iconic Nova Check-laden beauties that will undoubtedly leave you swooning. However, their beauty is far from skin deep. Burberry Beauty makes some of the very highest quality luxury products that I have ever tried. Furthermore, their collection is one of the most cohesive, brilliantly conceived, and well-edited makeup lines on the market today. This line categorically earns the highest marks straight across the board, and it is one of the few brands to which I am steadfastly devoted. There are many Burberry surprises on the horizon that will leave you speechless, and I will begin revealing them as soon as I am given the okay. For now, be assured that Blossom and Earthy Light Glow Natural Blushes, and Pale Barley Sheer Eye Shadow will be back later this year!

All purchased by me. Unaffiliated links provided for your convenience.

    Hi Helen :)
    Wow! I think this is the best GWP from Burberry I've seen up to date! I hope by the time the Fall collection comes they will have another good GWP. Look forward to your swatches/reviews on your goodies & especially on the trend event considering I've never been to one.
    More Burberry surprises?!?! OMG! Please divulge asap!!! LOL
    xoxo Naomi

      Hi Naomi!!

      I agree-- it's a truly amazing GWP!! The Fall Collection should be extraordinary-- I hope there is a GWP to help buffer our upcoming purchases!

      I will get my swatches up soon, but I can tell you right now that I am REALLY happy with my purchases-- and the pigmentation on the eyeshadow quad is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

      The surprises are sure to please us-- they are really planning a great many wonderful things!

    MY EYES ARE BURNING!!! Such beauty (case)!!! Seriously though, everything looks fantastic, but the case and pouch are unbelievable. I wish we (Greeks) would get such stunning gifts... I mean, we have yet to see the charm as GWP.

    But what really, really caught my eye was the word "surprise"? And "many"? As in more than one? For real??? Oh, come on, give something to the addicts!

    Have fun with all your new goodies!!!

    xoxo

      Hi Mel!

      It is definitely a fantastic GWP!! That is completely unfair that you don't get such wonderful GWP in Greece!

      Yes, Burberry has lots of great surprises in store for us!!!!! I can't wait to get the details to share!

      I am having a lovely time with my goodies, but definitely need to curb my spending for a while!

      I'm so sorry to hear that!!!! :-( They were really selling through their stock, and by the actual Trend Event they had gone through a tremendous amount of stock. They had sold out of a few things that I had wanted, but I found other things that I wanted and got them instead. Hopefully next time they won't be out of what you want-- I would definitely recommend doing a pre-sale early enough so that you can still grab what you want. xo

    Greetings! :)
    I have the rose blush and english rose lipstick. The rose blush was my first Burberry purchase ever and I love it. I use it quite often but it seems like I hardly used any in the pan. I'm glad pale barley is coming back yay :)
