I feel the exact same way about Trench! I love this shade and use it daily. It's the one Burberry eye shadow I backed up (well, until today when I backed up the old Chestnut). I've heard that Stone is the dupe in the new eye formula, but I haven't seen it in person.
I ended up getting another Pale Barley and Trench for backups since they are my most used, then I got Porcelain, Pearl Grey, and Dark Sable. I really wish I had gotten Midnight Plum, but I can't find it anywhere.
I wont believe its the same til I see it with my own eyes! I have my one I'm close to hitting pan on, a current backup, and another backup coming in the mail.
I might have to buy one more myself - hopefully I'll find one you haven't gotten your hands on yet!! I don't use it often as I've been going straight to the UD Naked palettes lately but you've inspired me to check it out for tomorrow's fotd!
It could be your just your lighting, but Tea Rose looks less pink this time around. Pale Barley looks a bit different, but it looks smoother in the new formula.This is my first attempt at swatches so please forgive any issues and my blotchy winter skin. From top to bottom: Tea Rose, Rose Pink, Aqua Green, Dusky Mauve, Pale Barley (new), Pale Barley (old).
Thank you! I don't have the original Tea Rose, but I read (maybe here, I don't remember) that the new Tea Rose looked more taupey than the old one. So maybe that's the difference? Yesterday, when I used Dusky Mauve, there was very little powder in the pan and no fallout.
I will have to call in the morning to see if they have Midnight Plum and Midnight Blue! Those are the two I always put off buying but wanted and now I'm totes regretting it. Thanks for the heads up
Same here! I always put off Tea Rose, not sure why, and now that it's reformulated, I'm scrambling to find the old version.I will have to call in the morning to see if they have Midnight Plum and Midnight Blue! Those are the two I always put off buying but wanted and now I'm totes regretting it. Thanks for the heads up
You can livechat or call the Nordstrom number on the website, and they can ship them to you.
I think Pale Barley was discontinued quite a while ago, so it might be hard to track down. I, too, am wishing I had picked one up.
Well that explains it. My stores never had it in stock--ever. They didn't even have a display of it.
It was always one that my store was short on. They usually had at least a couple though. If you still want it, Saks online still has it in the Sheer Eyeshadow formula.
Just bought it. Thanks! I figure I might as well try the original one that everyone talks about. LOL! I saw the new ones in store yesterday and did notice that quite a few were a bit different. It could be my store's lighting, though. Storm Grey, for example, was a a little lighter and had a touch more purple undertone to it than the original--at least that's how it appeared on my skin because I remember thinking the original was too dark and earthy for me.
