I was also very sorry to see the Burberry counter at Holt's Bloor close but on a happier note, they will be opening a Tom Ford Beauty counter in it's place before the end of the year!

I spotted a small display of beauty products at the Burberry store at Yorkdale this past Monday, so perhaps we'll see the seasonal collections sold there. But rumour has it that Hudson Bay will be carrying the Burberry Beauty line very soon...stay tuned!

Yep yep, take a look at this link! http://vanity-fashionista.blogspot.ca/2013/10/burberry-trench-kisses.html
I ordered a couple last week. Unfortunately, i have to wait until the end of the month until they ship. hopefully, my order won't be cancelled like my order containing Pale Barley was. did that happen to anyone else?

Really, where at Holt's Yorkdale?! I went on Wednesday but didn't see anything. =( I went to the Beauty Bar and they didn't really know much (except about Tom Ford being at Bloor). I did find out that having items transferred from Vancouver to Yorkdale won't cost anything. =D I hope to put in an order this week and pick up next week!

If they do come to Hudson Bay, I have a feeling it will just be Bloor and/or Queen locations along with Yorkdale. Still, better than nothing!

It's not inside Holt's...it's in the Burberry store at Yorkdale. The store is down the hall from Holt's near the J.Crew. They had a smal display of cosmetics inside the store. I also heard a rumour that we may see Burberry Beauty at Sephora one of these days....but that would be a long time in the future.

Oops, yes, you did write that. I was too tired and too excited, mixed it up in my head. I was going to pop into the Burberry store to check but had my baby in a stroller.. not the most inviting store for strollers.

I see some gold packaged items on the Saks site for pre-order. I guess this is a holiday collection. But how do they have holiday products before the fall collection? Has anyone heard anything about this collection?

I forgot to mention that I purchased one of the new nps in the fall collection - stone. I am not a fan of the formula at all. It was thick and applied terribly. It also began peeling off my nails in one day even with a base coat and top coat. Maybe I just chose the wrong color to try, but I am not planning on buying any more of these.

I did a review of the nail polish a few days ago--if anyone wants to read about it.

The polish itself is really pretty--but I didn't care for the brush at all. It reminded me of one of those cheap paint brushes you would use in grade school. And a lot of the fall collection seems to be available at Nordstrom now.

I don't see anything from fall on the Nordstrom site except the kohl pencils. I don't see the oxblood lipstick or gloss or trench kisses yet.

Really? I just saw the Kohl pencils and other polishes, too, and I guess I just assumed that they had gotten the rest. I'm sorry. I know I've seen it all on Burberry's site--but that's not the same I know.

Checked out the Burberry store at Yorkdale for their beauty items. They will only be displaying their feature collection but that's okay for now! It's almost right at the front of the store, far left. The sales rep mentioned something about a Queen Street locaiton and she doesn't think it's with Hudson's Bay. She did say that the holiday items should be arriving next week. I'm hoping all these fall/winter items show up in the new packaging! And somewhat hoping there isn't anything new, or at least not too much. If I ever thought MAC was expensive to keep up with new items.. ha! On display were Earthy Light Glow Fresh Glow in Nude Radiance polishes in Stone, Oxblood and Black Poppy lip glows in Oxblood and Trench Kiss lip mists in... wow, I'm blanking out here! I'll guess Trench Kiss for sure, but there was no Oxblood. lip cover in Oxblood (although it seemed a bit on the glossy side so I'm wondering if it was actually the lip mist) Effortless Kohl in Stone, Oxblood and Black Poppy the grey e/s quad e/s in Trench and Gold Pearl black mascara Since I have a gift card with Holt's I only got one item today, the Effortless Kohl in Oxblood. Loved the colour on my hand and tried it on my lips. It doesn't show up well over lip balm (I was using Jack Black) but there was enough pigmentation after a few swipes for me to walk around with it. I'll try it later this week on eyes, cheeks and lips. It seems less pink than the lip cover, polish and lipglow. It seems the less dry the item, the pinker Oxblood becomes. So kohls are the reddest whereas the lip glows seem significantly pinker, like a pinky red. I guess that makes sense? Keeping it real? lol I'm trying to limit myself to just 3 items when ordering from Holt's. Oxblood lip cover is definitely on my list. Then I'm trying to decide between the polishes (Stone or Oxblood), Stone lip mist and Stone e/kohl. I dabbed a couple of dots of Stone n/p to compare with other nudes (e.g. BL All Hail The Queen, BL Cuppa). Will hopefully compare tonight!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts after comparing the polishes. I'm curious about the mention of selling at a location on Queen, because I honestly can't imagine where it would be except The Bay, who haven't carried the line thus far. If they end up getting Burberry beauty, I am going to do a happy dance right down the middle of Ste-Catherine St. in Montreal.

I really hope it's at Hudson's Bay too, and that it comes to Yorkdale! I hope it comes to Montreal too - I'd love to see more swatches by you and hear more of your thoughts!

As for the polishes, I wish now I took a picture but generally, Stone polish looks like a darker cousin to Cuppa, sort of in between Cuppa and All Hail the Queen in light/darkness. The tone is similar to Cuppa, altho hard to tell with just dabs. If it's a tad warmer/cooler, it's just by a touch. Sorry I don't have any other reference! If it helps, having all three would make for a great tonal mani, but Cuppa and Stone may be too close to use just together. As for longevity and application, I can't really speak to that unfortunately.

About the kohl, I only used it for one day but I did like what I could do. I could use Oxblood on the eyes but I definitely need a liner as I have no lashes to give definition. I applied it on my ring finger and blended it in from the outer lid to the middle lid. That might give more play time than directly applying as one reviewer did. On the cheeks it gave a pretty flush, a deeper red with a hint of pink without looking pink? I didn't use too much as I didn't have much time and was going for a natural look. Again, I applied product to my finger first then blended on the cheeks. On the lips, without lip balm, I applied it directly and lightly and found it was almost like a pencil stain. I didn't layer it on, just applied enough colour for it to show up and it was easy enough on the lips. It didn't look heavy or like a pencil (when applied lightly), more like a stain. Everything seemed to last decently enough but given that I was only at home and did minimal makeup, it's not a true test of wear time. Of course, it wore off the lips first.

Overall it reminded me of (my newly-gotten) NARS G-Spot multiple but less pink/plum and less creamy. Given that the multiple has much more product I would almost not bother with the kohl but given that I have it, I would rather carry the kohl since it's smaller and doesn't dry out the lips as multiples seem to do.

Here's a nice piece on a few of the nail polish colors.

I pre-ordered 202 and 203 from Nordstrom and seeing this, I'm glad I did.

Monsy, can't wait to hear what you think about fresh glow and the foundation. I love both!

My SA from Nordstrom called me last week to ask if I wanted to order something for an event they were having. She called really late at night and I was half asleep but I still managed to order Oxblood lipstick and lipgloss. She tried to get me to get other stuff but I resisted. I'm on Christmas Shopping For Others Mode so I'm really trying to not buy anything for myself until my shopping is done. I'm so glad I read the reviews on the Oxblood lip pencil so I could skip that one. So Nordstrom stores have the product. Plus I saw the lipstick and lipgloss on the Nordstrom site a few days ago. So it has finally come in if anyone is looking for it.

Burberry is so late with the fall collection it is unbelievable. I think everyone else is coming out with their spring line soon. Burberry will probably have their spring line available next fall.
