[COLOR=0000FF] OMG-------It's  GORGEOUS AWS!!!  You look luminous!!!  What foundation are you wearing that you think is too brown?  It might help to see your whole pretty face!!!![/COLOR]

Thank you! I was a bit heavy-handed but it looked ok lol I'm using the D&G Perfect Luminous Foundation in Soft Tan right now, which is too brown but as an aside, holds up surprisingly well in the stinging Caribbean sun.

Looks good on you! I, sadly, had to return it because it was showing up too dark and greenish on my complexion.

I think the Asian tones may be available at some US Nordies. I wonder where Raeviewer got hers from. I'm considering asking a friend to get Nude Honey for me as she'll be in HK till April.

I think Raeviewer recently travelled to Asia and hauled a bunch of stuff. I know she has friends who also send her goodies! So lucky!!

I received a few of the new Burberry Wet and Dry Silk eyeshadows yesterday (Shell, Almond, Antique Blue, Aqua Green, Chestnut Brown, and Dusky Mauve). They're actually silkier than the old eyeshadows, which were already incredibly smooth. I was surprised to find that the newer versions of old eyeshadows were not the same color. I guess that means I might have to check out more colors than I thought! Here's a quick rundown:

Shell is a very shimmery champagne color; it's no doubt the pearly formula. I was hoping it was a rose gold but it's still quite pretty. It felt the least silky of the ones I bought. The pattern on these is different.
Almond is matte, more pigmented than the old Almond, and more neutral toned instead of warm. I'll get a lot of use out of this one!
Aqua Green is matte and super pigmented!
Chestnut Brown looks nothing like the old Chestnut Brown. It's semi-pearly and actually closer to the old Taupe Brown but it's a touch lighter and more golden.
Antique Blue is a semi-pearly Prussian blue; very pretty.
Dusky Mauve is a semi-pearly grayish mauve.

So far my favorites are Almond and Antique Blue. If anyone else had bought these, I'd love to hear your thoughts and color descriptions.

Peanut---thanks for taking the time to share this information. They sound amazing!!! I'm not into the singles, but I'm sure there's a lot of other interest here.

This is good to know. I know I wanted a shade for transition but I can't be sure of the name. It may have been Almond. I know it was a warm shade. I need to get to a counter to check out old stock.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on these. I put Dusky Mauve and Almond on my to be ordered list.

Nice! Which ones did you get? I'm off to check out what the have left. I'd love backups of Pearl Grey and Chestnut. Update: Thanks for posting this. I got Chestnut with rush shipping!!

Almond is my favorite transition shade!

*face.palm* the day after I ordered.

I only have one to play with, and... they're not the same color.

Add in the discontinuation of my beloved Trench, and I'm a devastated Burberry junkie right now.

In case you're wondering, I'm the one buying all of the Trenches. Sorry, not sorry. I literally wear it every single day. And am going to have finished (yes, finished) one in about one year's time.

Thank you so much for the swatches! The new Pale Parley looks more pigmented. Is it matte or the semi-pearly formula? I didn't have this on my wish list, but now I think I want it.
