These must be for the fall collection (scroll down below the first and second sets of photos):

Does anyone see anything new besides the Nude Blush Eye Palette No. 12? I'm curious about the Slate Blue Eye Palette No. 20. I wonder if they meant the Slate Blue eye shadow single in No.15 (Midnight Blue is No. 20). Exciting if there's another eye palette though!! I still hope there's more for fall. Would love to see some new lip products and blushes. Oh wait...I forgot, we also have e/s singles in #27 and #28.

I love this nail polish collection for fall.

I finally tried the n/p. Wasn't so sure about the square brush, but loved it for the second coat.
So excited to see a new eye palette in this! I really wish they'd come out with some new blush colors though, like a berry shade.

But off the top of my head, I would say that Pale Barley is more golden taupe and Storm Grey is more silver taupe. Hope that helps!
That does, thanks! I'm guessing then it's a bit bluer than Rosewood then, or that Rosewood is pinker, to put these in context. Can't wait till it shows up at the Burberry store!

I think it's a new palette while reusing a name of an existing shadow. Reminds me of MAC, haha, altho they usually use LE/DC items. I do hope the blues are actual blues and not blue-greys.
I only have their gold polish and while it's lovely, it chips without a topcoat within the first 24hrs. It could be that it's a metallic (gold from the holidays) but at $25Cdn, I'd expect more. I already overthink my butter London purchases and they perform better!
My very first Burberry blush Hydrangea came in fine style this evening snuggled well hidden by UPS in my recycle bin, lol. Beautiful and perfect except bit chatty and fussy asking for her sibling the Coral Pink block next to her on the Nordies site. Hydrangea was told in no uncertain terms that there will be no siblings anytime soon. Still whining and pouting but she will get over it!

You have such restraint! I, uh, have all the blushes now...*hides behind hands*. I was, however, able to buy them cheaper in Asia. Finding that out did not help keep my collection growth at a healthy rate! But I've slowed down a lot lately. Enjoy Hydrangea Pink - it will be lovely for spring/summer!
Also, have any of you tried the effortless kohl pencils? I am interested in them, but they seem to be just kohl eyeliners. Are they worth shelling out the money? 
To be honest, I'd say no. I have Oxblood as the shade seemed the most versatile but it's a bit drying on the lips, and I'd rather get the Oxblood lipstick anyway. Black Poppy would only work on the eyes and Stone can be a highlighter but for warm skin tones it might show more grey (perhaps a bit warmer than MAC's Stone lip pencil, for those who might remember). For $30+Cdn, I can find better multitasking items that have more product, like NARS multiples.
Also, be on the lookout! I was told my by SA that there is going to be a pretty good Burberry Gift with Purchase at Nordstrom sometime in June. I am getting my wishlist prepared for when it pops up!
Dangit, really? What is usually the minimum purchase amount? I need to replace my powder foundation and Antique Rose has been on my wish list for too long! I'll have to find someone to get it for me tho. Nordstrom won't ship Burberry to Canada and, strangely, neither will Burberry itself.
The last time I went to the counter the SA was trying to get me to get Dark Spice but I had spring colors on my mind.  I will think about this one again.  I've been wanting Russet blush for awhile now.
Russet was my first blush purchase. I love it on the lids too for a monochromatic look. I have Dark Spice but haven't been wowed by it. I'll have to give it another go for a week to see what the love is all about.

When the time comes, let me know if you need someone to do a CP for you, I'd be happy to. As long as it's available online, since I don't have a Burb counter nearby.

I plan on calling my SA at Oakbrook, and possibly taking a day trip up there if possible. So if it is not available online (which it most likely will be) I am willing to pick stuff up for the sadly deprived Canadian Burberry lovers :) And I did some researching, looks like the last couple years they have had GWPs, the minimum amount has been $120-$150. Which is sadly extremely easy to do. I plan on picking up the Sheer Glow foundation, some more single eyeshadows, and maybe another blush. Hopefully we will hear some details about it soon!

Antique Rose is beautiful. Exactly the shade I think of when I hear the name. Totally underrated shade in this line IMHO

Unexpected early arrival today from Nordies was a very pleasant surprise. I initially thought that Midnight Plum was discontinued or a limited edition es but was informed that it was backordered until May 31st. I could wait until the 31st but I happily will settle for 2 wks earlier than scheduled.

beautiful Debbs.. let me know how it swatches on you pls. I love the colour but somehow the sheerness of Burberry ES turn me off. I have a few. but have not purchased more because it's a job for me to pile on.. lol

I definitely will HG. Fig and Alexandrite from LMDB may be worth a glance as well for you. I love both. Haven't even gotten around to try Mulberry yet either .

aww man! the Burberry SA is awesome at the Walnut Creek, CA Nordstrom. It was my intent to stay far away and I ended up with Pale Barley e/s. I was strong enough to resist the gloss and mulberry e/s she suggested. lol. Pale barley is def gorgeous. I now own this one and gold trench e/s. Love the packaging.

Oh man, I was totally in love with the Orange lippie from the Summer LE, but now I've read it's a Sheer Balm, I'm not sure I want it. Has anyone seen the LE in person already? I haven't seen any swatches yet, any of you? http://us.burberry.com/make-up-look...es_textlink_store_paid for&source=webgains_de
Thanks for the link. The orange poppy nail polish looks pretty. I'm hesitant with the balm as well. Why not a lip mist. That is sheer enough. I really like the lip mists. Now the cheek balm. Don't know how long products like these last on the skin. I just got the tarte balm freebie from Sephora today. That may work. I'd like to see these products in person but Burberry is super slow to roll out collections. It maybe going on September till we see these in stores.

I'm very intrigued by the Fresh Glow blushes. Not a huge cheek stain fan, but the colors are gorgeous. I would need to see them in person though before making a decision.
