I'd love to see swatches as well. I got a call yesterday about a Burberry event next week so hopefully I will have some goodies in my hands soon.

Today is very windy and it is raining heavily, so some nice spring swatches will cheer day up. Thanks Shypo!

I have bad light today, and my camera isn't capturing colors very well, so I have to wait until I have some better light and can perhaps take the photos outside......so stay tuned!

Thanks for posting this link - the colors are very accurate! The Coral Pink is closer to pink than to coral to my eye, but both are spectacular. I'm going to try to post a pic with the other Burberry blushes I have for comparison - the Hydrangea, as she says, is probably better for darker skintones.

I have both blushes as well and tried the coral pink today. I really like it, but it is definately more on the pink side. Tomorrow I am going to play with the Hydrangea.

I also got the coral and pink sweet tea glosses. If anyone is a coral lip lover like me, then I would definately take a look at the coral gloss.

I love these blushes......HP is extremely similar to Narcissist, so one probably doesn't need both. I think Coral Pink is more my fave of the two, but I'm keeping both as I just love the formula of these blushes.

I'm going to try to see the other glosses this weekend - Pink Sweet Pea is amazing.

I agree that HP is very similiar to Narcissist. I now actually have both and prefer HP. The TF blush is harder to blend/tone down probably b/c of the quality of the pigment. HP is a lot easier for someone who is pale like me to wear.

Now I am lemming Mallow Pink....

I had my makeover today. The SA put Pink Taupe quad on me and then put on Coral Pink blush. She put it on the outer part of my cheek area, it was nice but seemed kind of light. The last couple of makeup applications I've had, the SA put the blush on the outer part of the cheek. A new and different look for me but I think it is hard to get a true sense of the color with this technique. Another SA suggested a pop of Hydrangea on the cheeks. This was a much brighter look. I said I wanted to try the new spring colors so the SA paired Blush lipstick with Mallow Pink lipgloss and Dusty Rose lipliner. I loved the look! I usually don't go for such bright lip colors but it was really pretty. I ended up going crazy.

I got:

  • Pink Taupe quad
  • Gold Pearl eyeshadow
  • Porcelain eyeshadow
  • Blush lipstick
  • Blueberry lipstick
  • Dusty Rose lipliner
  • Mallow Pink lipgloss
  • Coral lipgloss
  • Pink Sweet Tea lipgloss
  • Hydrangea Pink blush

I also got a Gift with Purchase of concealer and foundation samples (not my shades but SA made some samples in my shades for me), mini lipsticks in Antique Pink and Pink Amber (so cute but so tiny), lipstick samples of Blueberry, Copper, Rosy Red and Brown Sugar. Also a perfume sample and a makeup bag.

I did not get to try the red lipsticks. I did try Military Red on my hand and liked it but decided to wait a bit. The SAs said Fuchsia Pink was the other lipstick in the collection, I was pretty sure they were wrong but couldn't remember the name of the other one and was too tired out to look it up. Now that I'm back, I see it was Bright Poppy. I like the looks of both of these so I just may order them along with Coral Pink Blush next week. I actually like Fuchsia Pink as well. Maybe that one too.

Oh and I picked up the Blueberry lipstick because an SA suggested it last time and I passed but today I wore Mac Round Midnight with Mac Stylish Merry and paired it with Burberry Mocha Glow lipstick. I thought the lipstick was a bit too much for the eye look and ended up blotting it and putting Chanel Merveille on top. Anyway, I thought a lighter berry color would work better and thought of Blueberry. So glad I bought this one. I'm just loving the Burberry lipsticks and have quite a few on my "To Get" list. I can't wait to try the mini lipsticks and lipstick samples I got today.

I have Mallow Pink in my Nordies cart......just about the pull the trigger I think......I also need to check out the lip liners, and though I've ordered Military Red, I think I would have preferred Bright Poppy, but we'll see.

Enjoy all of your new goodies!!!

Even though I'm on a gloss no-buy, I want MP so badly! I already have a shopping list for when I visit the US in April, and this is definitely on it! (Together with Pale Barley and Military Red!)

Isn't Pale Barley discontinued? I thought that's what I'd read. Nice haul Icecaramellatte. Sounds like a very fun day!
