Burberry Beauty

[GreenEyedAllie]

Mine was ok. The blushes were inside a paper bag and that was it for packaging protection. I got my First Love palettes as well as the new Dark Earthy blush because I collect the Burberry blushes. Dark Earthy is 100% a contour color for me. No way its a blush. It would look like mud if I put it all over my cheek. The First Love palette is gorgeous. The actual color is lighter than I thought it would be, but is definitely a springy blush.

Drooling and jealous! I really really hope they bring it back! Looks beautiful against your skin!

Oh it's SOOO pretty! Thanks for the swatches. I really wanted to know what dark earthy looked like.

Despite Burberry's best efforts, my blush arrived intact yesterday. Cripes, they just threw that thing in the box with ZERO packaging for protection. The heart sleeve on the outside of the blush box is scratched to all heck.

What the heck! Nordstrom should teach them how to roll it/hide it in a mile of stiff cardboardish paper Let us know what you think of it on.

When there's a will there's a way
I actually managed to get my hands on the new coral Dior gradiation blush- from Italy no less lol. It arrived yesterday and is so lovely. ♥

Nice work, that's dedication! I got the pink one and it's very pretty. I'm hoping my local Chanel Beauty Boutique might get the Tweed blushes as they get some exclusive items, or that Chanel will re-release them internationally later.

Oh, the Nordstrom paper!!! I'm going to hold off on trying it to make sure my second one arrives safely from the UK and then you can let me know if you want to wait to see if they restock this or if you want my second one.

LOL, you know...I really try to cram that paper back into the box, but it never fits We should probably be saving that paper just in case there is a toilet paper shortage
some day

Ok on the blush

That would be awesome if you could get your hands on them!

Pretty sure @peanut got it too but I forget how/where.

The First Love blush with the hearts was displayed on the U.S site, but day after day it was never available to buy. I can't remember if it said Coming Soon, but I was able to use Burberry's store locator to see who had it in stock. There were only a handful of stores. So I picked one and called and got it. It's still in the box because it's so pretty and I can't quite bear to use it just yet.

So it never showed up on the site? Maybe Burberry is still having distribution issues since they took over manufacturing.

The Silk & Bloom blush is up for Pre-Order on Saks with a ship date of 3/26/17. I thought there were people here still looking for it, so there you go.

I messaged someone from the thread when it showed up at Bloomingdale's but I don't know what came of it

Is that a new one or the one from fall? Different lighting changes the color/reflective bits. I think this one is currently available at Sephora Canada

I think the Silk and Bloom blush is still available at Hudson's Bay in Canada for any Canadians still looking for it

Hope they got it. I think people aren't always seeing they have messages on here these days. What other makeup forums are people using? It seems rather slow and quiet here still after the platform switch.

Girl at one point I was going to exit as well :/
It's just not the same, although I'm glad to have you ladies here

It was dated three weeks ago. More pretty than practical (but I do love pretty makeup!). Makes me wonder what products we will or won't get here in the U.S.

It is super quiet, and kind of sad really. I've seen former specktra peeps actively posting on the Sephora forums.

I was going to say I've seen a lot of former specktra people on Sephora's forums as well. I've also seen them actively on IG. Even the mods are hardly on apart from Shellygrlll.

YES!!!! I noticed this & find it to be both sad & disappointing to say the least.

It makes me sad & mad. Why would anybody donate $$$ if nobody even cares about the site anymore
