Do you own the previous two shades (nude and white)? Just wondering how you think they compare to the two new shades if you do.

I have the old White one, which I just tried. The shimmer seems a little finer than in Pink Pearl. Unfortunately I don't have the new ones to compare because I just sent them back this morning, so I'm just going by my initial impressions. Since you have all of the new ones, do you notice any difference in the level of shimmer in the four?

Does anyone have the both the new and the old White and Nude? I'm curious as well how they compare.

Edited to add: I have to be really careful about shimmer so take this with a grain of salt! But I would wear the old White one very sparingly, and I was tempted by Pink Pearl but thought you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between White and Pink Pearl once applied. Rose Gold was so gorgeous!! But I knew it was too much for me.

I just remember Coty as a drugstore brand eons ago, but I see from the article you posted they're now involved in Gucci and Marc Jacobs, among others.

Coty is taking over a lot.... but why burberry can't settle already??

They had taken their beauty line in house a few years ago and apparently it proved more difficult than they anticipated, especially distribution. Too bad they didn't go with Interparfums, the original licensee. I loved the original line scent and all, although I totally understand why they got rid of the fragrance! Loved the second line too. Have my fingers crossed for the third.

random pic? If it is yours, do you love it ;)
Is that yours or just a

It is my pic. I just got it today, so I haven't tested it yet. The handle is rather thick. I took the pic sideways hoping the stupid loader here would load it in the correct upright position, but it loaded completely flipped to the opposite side! Can't win!

The brush head looks nice!

Nice pic!! Looking forward to hearing what you think of it! Since Saks had 14% Ebates and 10% off last week I couldn't resist and placed an order. Haven't tried them yet, but really like the shape and feel of the blush brush and medium e/s. And I love the handles! Agree that they're substantial. And the shorter lengths are nice. The concealer brush is odd; it's not synthetic and looks and feels more like a tiny e/s brush.

Oooh, I was hoping that was the case with the concealer brush! I have hooded eyes, so a smaller brush like that is ideal for eyeshadow application. Too bad for people wanting an actual concealer brush though.

And I agree, the shorter length is great. I wear glasses and I'm blind without them, so I have to get right up on my mirror to apply makeup. That's pretty much impossible with most of the long-handle brushes out there.

Hi guys, just thought I'd weigh in on the Fresh Glow highlighters discussion in case anyone was also wondering the same thing that I did before I purchased my highlighters. I've got all of them except for the the white one. The shimmer in these are less fine than in Dior's Nude Air Luminizers (I own all of them except for 003 Gold) but you can only tell when you've got them swatched side by side. On the face, the shimmer looks similar, doesn't look gritty or chunky. Burberry's highlighters are definitely longer-wearing.

Colour-wise, swatched on my skintone, Burberry's 04 Rose Gold is identical to Dior's Nude Air Luminizer 001 Beige (I haven't decided which I'm keeping). Burberry 03 Pink Pearl is slightly lighter than Dior 002. In terms of colour, it's between MAC Lightscapade and Dior 002. But I think the difference isn't enough to be noticeable.

Hope this helps someone out there!

The First Love Palette is available on Sephora Canada right now. I'm amazed that it hasn't sold out yet. Probably because people don't know it's there lol
