Burberry Beauty

The two Spring quads are listed as out of stock on the Canadian Burberry site, but everything else seems to be in. I'm actually attracted to both the pinks and greens, both the palettes and the nail polishes. This can't be good for my wallet. I'm actually planning on doing an order from Burberry in the near future, since their stuff is so difficult to get otherwise in Canada. I won't have the opportunity to swatch in person, but I'll just have to go with what I think will work based on what I have already, the swatches I've seen on line and what I remember from the one time that I did get to a Burberry Beauty counter- the only one in the country. I might hold off until these palettes are in stock, though, because they seem to be calling my name...
I think these quads are going to be so lovely for spring! Normally I buy from Nordstrom, but I'm still waiting on some Burberry polishes and a lip mist I ordered more than a month ago, so I figured I might as well order from Burberry instead of waiting for Nordstrom. If it pops up tomorrow on Nordstrom I'm going to feel dumb!

Husbands!! Don't they understand the vast color variations in purple polish?? lol! I really liked those pink and green polishes. I bought the set of spring polishes that they offered a few months ago, which includes them, but I haven't used it yet. They are definitely spring colors, so I'll wait til it gets warmer.
Oh, he's A LOT better than most, lol. Trust me on that. He knows a lot product names and what colors they are--thanks to me talking about makeup incessantly. But, I'd rather talk about makeup than football cards. Though, he doesn't really ever bring that up, lol. I only got the Dusky Mauve color. I can't think of many polishes I have that look like it.

This is my dilemma. I have an SA at Burberry Nordstrom counter that I really like to buy from. She already told me that there is an event on the 19th. I think I read on here that they are Burberry online exclusives but I don't know if that was confirmed. I'm wondering if she will have them. I would hate to order them and then she get's them in.

I tried before to purchase from there but I wasn't able to check out. Hopefully they've changed that!

Oh crap. Seriously? I'd never "committed" to purchasing, so I assumed that since they had the products on the web site that they were available. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if that weren't the case, given that I've never heard of anyone being able to order from them directly.

EDIT- I checked the web site and sadly, you are correct. They do not ship cosmetics to Canada. So I guess Burberry and me are not meant to be.

I think I read that too. On here someone posted a link to the color story and I remember it saying that this stuff will only be online at Burberry.com.

It really is to bad they won't let us order directly from them. Could you order from Holt Renfrew?

From what I understand, you can call the Burberry counter at Holt's Vancouver and they will ship to you, provided they have what you're looking for. I find it bizarre that Burberry just won't let people order direct from them. They have a notice on their site about how they can't ship certain items to certain countries because of import restrictions- but the beauty products are already available in Canada, so that excuse shouldn't apply.

Icecaramellatte, I often have this problem! I don't have a Nordstrom anywhere near me but I do have a wonderful Burberry SA and buy from her 90% of the time. So I felt very guilty pushing that Buy button! But if it's true that they're Burberry.com exclusives, I won't feel bad (thanks for the link, Jenny!). I hadn't heard anything about an event on the 19th. Let us know if you get more information.

I tried the counter but didn't get my SA. No answer at all. I did have her voicemail on a card so I left a message. Hopefully, she will get back to me by tomorrow. I do know that she has never called me for an event when they didn't have something new so here's hoping.

Apparently the burberry counter is closing at Holt Renfrew in Van - not sure when exactly. :(

I kinda wish that they'd abandon the exclusivity with Holt's and just make a deal with The Bay, like Armani did. The Bay seems much more serious about promoting and distributing high end beauty brands, ironically enough.

The Bay has a wider audience which would definitely get it more noticed. So many people I talk to who are also into makeup don't know about Burberry Beauty, which is sad! I liked having a reason to visit Holt's though. The makeup lines are the only things I can afford there, haha, and most of their beauty lines are available outside of their store.

I just spoke to my Burberry SA at Nordstrom's. She knew exactly what I was talking about. She said they were going to get the pink and the green palette but she didn't know when. I can wait. I have gobs of items on my wish list. As far as the event, it is a store wide event and I got the dates wrong, It is on Friday and Saturday, the 17th and the 18th. I previously said the 19th and the store isn't even open that day.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing pics and swatches from people who have already purchased the items. I'm very excited by these colors. Although Burberry mostly has neutrals in its permanent collection, I was greatly impressed by the last year's spring??? collection with the bright lip glosses. I thought they did bright glosses surprisingly well.

Got my Burberry package today. Here are a couple pics of the Sage Green No. 15 quad and the Rose Pink No. 10 quad. Haven't tried yet but both look a bit shimmery to me.

Based on what they look like in the pan, I want both.
