Hm. I usually find her swatches very reliable, but I can't help but think the lip swatch looks like it took several passes to get to that level. It is a pretty colour though. Thanks for finding this!

I find the coverage to be sheer to medium, possibly medium-full with the right tools and techniques. I have dry skin which presents as oily due to overproduction of sebum and I find that for sheer coverage, I can use a 187 stipple-swirled and my skin toned is evened out with redness minimized. If I have flakes (usually around my nose) then yes, that will be emphasized, although I've noticed there have been times when it would be fine in the morning with the dryness showing in the afternoon. On days when I have more time, I use my Shiseido Perfect Foundation brush for more coverage. I don't usually go beyond medium coverage.
Lately I've been bouncing between Burberry's powder foundation with a 187 and MAC's Studio Careblend. If I could, I would stick to just the Burberry (but I've hit pan and am running out!), partially for a better colour match and partially because it seems to have a more sophisticated finish, let's say better coverage without looking heavy. I feel that if I were to build up the Careblend to match coverage, even if it was only a bit more, it would look more obvious that I've used a powder than the Burberry. That said, I do find that the powder foundation looks better after an hour or so than on first application, like the oils on my skin soften it and overall blends the powder in with my face.
As a cheaper alternative though, when I run out, I think i'll be picking up Bare Minerals instead. I found the pressed version to be surprisingly nice in finish and colour.

Hi everyone! If you're interested, I've posted a review of the Lip Glow Balms on my blog: http://www.themakeupwriteup.com/burberry-lip-glow-balm-review/ (mods, please let me know if this isn't OK!). In short, I really like them, but they really remind me of the Lip Mists. Pink Peony also requires multiple passes before the color shows up on the lips.

I doubt it since the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is coming up. But it makes me wonder if they will do something special for the sale.

The Burberry store at Yorkdale Mall said they're usually a month behind in receiving products. =( Better late than never I guess. So hopefully something mid-July? But if there's a Nordstrom Anniversary bonus, I'm all over that! Pretty please keep us updated, US counterparts!

The catalog doesn't have anything listed, so we might not know until they show up on the website. Bummer!

I feel so bad. I was just at Nordies and the SA showed me a book with all the beauty specials for the sale. I saw something for Burberry but I wasn't all that interested so I didn't take note of the details. I didn't remember about you guys until I got home. There was a makeup bag with products in it. I remember one of the items was Rosewood lipgloss. I'm pretty sure it was full size. I don't remember the other products nor whether it was GWP or just a set you can buy. I feel like I saw $125 but again I'm not even sure if it was a gift with purchase or what. Sorry.

Don't feel bad! There were so many different specials listed in the book that it's really hard to keep track of them all. Burberry was one of the few I could remember: it had Rosewood Lip Glow like you mentioned, Effortless Mascara in black, and a Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base. I believe it was a GWP with $125 spend. It's a pass for me as I already own Rosewood lipgloss (love the color) and I haven't had the best luck with Fresh Glow (made my oily skin look even oilier!).

Hi BlahWah! I tested out the cheek tints but they were so sheer and needed many swipes for any color to show up, so I passed on them myself.

The cheek tints are very similar to the old Chantecaille Aquablushes if anyone remembers those. The big difference is the size. Chantecaille Aquablushes were 15 grams and these are 5 grams. I was shocked when I saw how small it was. I agree with USCgirlie that it takes several swipes to get some color, which means that little stick of blush would be gone in no time. Ordered Orange Poppy and sent it back. I love Burberry but haven't been too excited by their recent releases. I hope fall is better.

Boo, that's too bad to hear. Thanks for sharing your review. Good thing I guess that they're not in Canada yet or I might have bought them like I did the summer palettes from last year. Not horrible, but not that great considering the price. Especially when I have issues using the Tarte stains already... =SHi BlahWah!

Did they say if the Burberry GWP is in-store only or is it going to be online?
