Hi!! First, let me say, I ADORE your blog! And love your reviews. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a DM? I would love to take you up on your offer :)

LOL I meant direct message, sometimes we get loss by all the abbreviations.

But it seems you find a way to contact me so that is good :))

Finally stopped at a counter and saw the summer stuff. Lipsticks were too sheer for me and I forgot to swatch the cheek stains. I guess I just have fall on the brain now. I did see graphite and asked about the other new gray color because I couldn't remember the name but the SA didn't seem to know what I was talking about. I'm wondering if I should make her my new SA now that my old one has left. She may be too new. But I didn't push it because I just bought a quad of gray shadows at the CCO but graphite looked really nice. I will check out the other one next time I'm there.

Storm Grey! I had to go back through posts to find it. What did you think of Graphite? Were you able to swatch it?

Sadly, Burberry store at Yorkdale still hasn't caught up to Summer 2014 - no blush stains, no Blueberry lip mist, nothing! Looks like I'll have to be very selective and look to CPs. Does anyone know if the Burberry still has counters in Hong Kong? My MIL will be going in November and I may hold out till then. Almost everything is cheaper there - foundation is almost $15 less, without tax!! Or at least it was.

For those interested in AW 2014 look breakdowns, Peanut posted these links awhile back.

Yes, it was storm grey. I'm going to Saks tomorrow. I'll try to remember to look for it. Graphite was really nice. I will probably pick it up.

Sniffed the new Burberry scent and I am in love. It's called "My Burberry" and is inspired by a trench-coat. I am not a fan of Burberry Brit etc but this new one is simply amazing. Added to wish list, birthday list, every list there is even grocery list meaning it comes home with me very soon.

Ok, I should have known that it was going to only be a matter of few hours, lol. The packaging is a tester looking sample kind of box and the bottle top cover is supposed to be a trench coat button design

Got it from Dillard's. Pretty sure there will be gift sets of better value for the upcoming holiday season but I wanted instant gratification

I am not really big on burberry fragrances. I only have The beat edp and the rest I had I gave them away... Burberry classic is phenomenal but everything else they have released lately is well... should I use word awful or not worth buying. I work in fragrance department so I need something really special to impress me

Me neither. Wasn't too fond of Burberry Brit but just tried a sample of Burberry Brit Rhythm I got earlier today. It's not bad but I would choose Dior Blooming Bouquet as my next fragrance. Try that one and see how well you like it. Also check out Armani's Si as well. It may be a "no" but it is longer lasting than Dior BB which I actually prefer. I would not recommend the new Prada Candy Florale tho (big costly mistake ) A few new scents are popping up so get tester samples and decide before getting any preferably in the gift sets for the holidays.

Armani Si I already own :)

Candy florale does not last not even 5 minutes. Terrible

But the same thin is with Blooming bouqet - we had so many returns because people complain how it does not last at all. too bad because it smells nice. if you are planning to buy it try it first

@ Monsy, I have PC Florale packed and ready for store return. It's BNIB w/ receipt intact so I am not sure why it took so long to decide to do what my guts feeling told me all along Thankfully they were generous with the samples to be able to have formed a decent opinion along with your input. Si is back on my radar! @Sarabeautime, thanks for one of the nicest, friendliest and up to minute CP service I have ever experienced Nude Blush 12 Eyeshadow Quad is amazing! Appreciate you making it possible and in such kind, reliable and efficient manner It arrived today. The dots weren't connected immediately as to what it was but when they did I was ecstatic

I ended up pre-ordering both quads for Nordstrom triple points on September 17. I think I can wait until then...maybe. I'm going to try anyway! lol!

How does Nude Blush look on a deeper skin tone? I want it pretty badly, but I want to make sure all the shades work! (Or at least 3 out of 4)

@ NYCBJ, you will get your money's worth. I will send you some pics later on this afternoon to prove it. I did take a whole bunch of pics when I got it just didn't post them
