Burberry Beauty

i just got Rosewood e/s.  It swatched beautifully on my inner arm in the store but when I put it on my lids it didn't really show up very well and makes me look a little tired. I'm NC20-25 with hazel/brown and don't really know what to pair with this eyeshadow. Any suggestions? Maybe it's too cool of an eyeshadow for me?

I find that using a violet liner helped with shadows that make me look tired. My go-to is Violet Undegroud, a MAC liner from an old collection, which is dark enough not to make it noticeably purple when tight-lined but colourful enough to give contrast to the shadow (more than, say, Macroviolet). Hth some!

I'm loving the lipsticks I got. I'm wearing Rosewood today..

The eyeshadows are amazing! If you can swing it, I would try one. That being said, I don't think they have any bronze colors. They don't have two many shimmery shades. I would try Pale Barley. It is becoming a staple in my as well as other people's collections.

I skipped them this time but I'm sure I will get rosewood and pale barely e/s with my next order So far I'm happy with their lipsticks and a bronzer. It would be nice to try blushes too. I was going to get one but I had to stop myself, to many bills at the minute. Perhaps I will make a huge haul around my birthday, I won't feel guilty then

I was looking at this color earlier and think I'm going to add it to my next order! Looks great on you!!

Thank you. I love it, great for every day. I think it's my favorite out of the 3 lippies I got.
Today's lippie was lip cover in Blush

Oh gosh this looks amazing! It makes your green eyes really brighten up...I feel a little guilty spending so much on a lipstick esp since I have all these MAC ones I never wear...

Thank you. I love it, great for every day. I think it's my favorite out of the 3 lippies I got. Today's lippie was lip cover in Blush

Tats I love Blush on you! I'm on a trip for work and I finally got to one of the two Burberry counters in Canada. I opted to get Pale Barkey and Antique Rose eye shadows. Rosewood was lovely, but I felt like it was too similar to shades I already have to warrant buying. Another time. Also got to visit a Chantecaille counter for the first time in years.

I wish I bought Antique Rose instead of Tea Rose. I wanted something light and pink but it disappears a bit on me. Enjoy your purchases! P.S. I'll be smirking every time I see my Pale Barkey now, lol! Love that typo.

LOL! I didn't even spot the typo until now. Pale Barkey. Sounds like a show dog. I've already worn it a few times (including today), because it's just such an easy shade to fit in with anything.

It's funny you mention Tea Rose, because that was the other shade that really tempted me, but I thought that Antique Rose was more unique in my collection. Honestly, I could have gone a bit crazy at the counter, especially on the shadows.

I'm holding out for Pale Barley to come back. I refuse to pay ebay prices.

Satin Lip Color in Golden Peach:

Satin Lip Color in Golden Peach:

The MUA at the counter I visited said that it was their best-selling shade. Who the heck discontinues their #1 seller? I'm sure it will be back.

Golden Peach looks gorgeous on you. Peach shades are horrifying on me as a rule... I feel jealous...

According to the SA at my local Nordstrom, Burberry had no idea they'd get that kind of demand. It's definitely coming back. She's already pre-ordered one for me so I can just pick it up. I love the way it looks. All of their shades are so subtle and complementary.

Thanks! You can pull off those 'cool' shades though, that I can't get near. I just got a purply shade from Kevyn Aucoin... and I'm fairly sure I will have to use it on cool toned beauties for it to really pop.

I went to Nordstrom Trend Show event today. Burberry booked me for the event so I stopped by. I ended up getting a few things although I didn't see any new stuff. Every time I asked for an item. The MA said, "oh I have to check if they have it." I ended up talking up the visiting MA. I asked him why so many things were out of stock in the store and online. He explained about another company taking over the manufacturing and that they were trying to sell off all the old stock and they were making a transition to the new company. He said all the popular products were sold out. Basically, he confirmed what was said here. I asked when they would have stuff back in stock. He said that around July 1st they would have a new collection with a teal shadow and I think bronze??? not sure on the other shade because the teal really had my mind spinning. He also mentioned a Fresh Glow in 4 shades and one would be bronze and that the bronze would be really good on me. He said everything would be launched or relaunched in September (meaning the regular line (with the new manufacturer) would be back in stock in September.

As I type this it seems weird, a teal shadow?? I'm not even big on teal shadows but I'm definitely intrigued as Burberry doesn't really do shades like that. But this past Spring Collection with the bright colors was really great.

This might be the best thing. I love Burberry's neutrals but I don't know how much attention they attract. I think having a limited edition collection with brighter colors may do the trick. It might lure in a new customer who will end up buying from the permanent line as well.

As I used my other shadows, I realized I needed a pink shadow, so I kept it in mind for my next shopping trip to Burberry. I ended up getting Tea Rose. It looked nice when the MA tried it on me and I bought it. The only thing is liked my Tom Ford eye quad that I was wearing at the time and I couldn't get those colors back. I think I like the sparkly shades for weekend wear. I was thinking, I wished Burberry carried a few sparkly shades but I don't know if it would be in keeping with their line. Maybe they will do so with a limited edition collection.

Anyway, sorry for the long story. I bought:
Tea Rose eyeshadow
Rosewood eyeshadow
Heather lip gloss
Brown Sugar lipstick
Wanted Chestnut eye shadow but they were out of stock

GWP - black makeup bag, cinnamon and cameo rose mini lipsticks, lipstick sample pack, concealer sample pack, full size Sepia gloss, full size Nude Gold gloss.

So to sum up - if something you want is out of stock, it will probably return in September and a new collection is coming out July - maybe end of June.

edit- Oh I asked the MA about Rosewood lipstick and he said it was the color the models were always wearing in the ads. I think I may try it next time as it looked like a nice neutral.

Been wanting to try Burberry shadows for some time now. Every time I go to purchase, I think about the ton of shadows I have alrdy. But I'm dying to get rosewood just because I feel I need to.

Thank you very much for the information! I really hope that the new manufacturer is able to maintain the same quality standards as their original supplier, because I've really fallen hard for their shadows. Teal could mean something bright, but it could also mean something deep, like a very dark peacock feather colour. I'll be curious to see which way they go. At the moment, I'm currently waiting for their Oxblood lipstick, which is apparently coming out this fall. And, of course, I want to collect more of their shadows. Tea Rose is actually tops on my list.

I didn't think of that. Yes, a dark peacock color would look lovely. I'm just glad they will have new products soon. I heard about the Oxblood lipstick before but nothing else. There is almost nothing on upcoming Burberry collections on the net.

Rosewood swatched more platinum on my skin. It wasn't what I expected but I liked it anyway.  I still have to try it on my eyes.  I love every single Burberry shadow I have.  You should try at least one. Do you have Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow ANTIQUE ROSE? How does it show up on you. I have NARS shadow called Nepal. Wondering if its close.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Yes, I bought Antique Rose and it showed up quite well on me. I used to have Nepal a really long time ago and if I'm remembering right Nepal was a lot warmer. Hope that helps.

Oh yes, your responds have been helpful. I took off that other e/s that you said came off silver on you

I find that Rosewood looks really nice with dusty purples and pinks, even some browns. On some quick makeup days, I've used Girl Friendly paint pot (from the Fafi collection) underneath to bring out the pink tones more. It's a really nice colour actually! Gives a nice dewiness to the eyes.

While I don't love each Burberry shadow I have, as you do Icecaramellatte, I do have to say they're quite beautiful when you find the right colour. Currently my Lavender and Pearl Grey eyeshadows aren't making me look as lovely as I'd hoped they would but I keep trying because they're lovely themselves!
