Burberry Beauty

I stopped at Saks to see the holiday collection. It seems they never got the highlighter in. I'm iffy on the eye palette. It didn't swatch that great on me and the khaki shade reminded me of a shade in another Burberry palette I have. That being said Some of the shadows wear better than they swatch on a qtip for me. I may just have to try these on my eyes. There is a salesperson I always see when I'm there but she's never around when I'm ready to buy so I wanted to wait for her. I went to Burberry store in search of the highlighter and they didn't have the holiday collection at all. It seems it is stuck in customs. Well that gives me time to think things over and see more swatches.

I just placed my order with Saks! Mr.Rebates had 8% cash back, too.

Did you look at Nordies at all for it? That was an odd experience that I had with them!

The entire collection is available at Burberry online! Check this thread's swatch gallery---the photos are pretty impressive.

Yes, I noticed that. This is why I didn't feel the need to run back to Saks at the moment. I do want to see more swatches of the hightlighter. No actually I just want to try the highlighter myself. It looks very nice in pics but the grayish comments are troubling. I checked out the collection and the lip colors were reminiscent of grayishness. Probably too cool for me. I did kind of like the "gold" nail polish but it is not what I would call gold. More of a cool taupe. Unfortunately I took a look at the Burberry website this morning and saw the cutest British Guard key fob/charm. Then I saw it in the store. I tried it clipped on my bag and it looked so cute. Really cute but crazy expensive.

I couldn't detect any "grayishness" but I'll let you know as soon as it arrives...hopefully this week.

:yaay: [COLOR=0000FF]Vee, oh Vee.  You're not gonna believe this.  I went onto Nordies to order something else just now and saw one item in my cart---surprised I opened it up to see what it was and it was the gold powder that that Nordies took out of my cart and said it was no longer available.  Well later for them.  I've already ordered it from Saks!!  I'm kicking it out of my cart!!![/COLOR]

As soon as you gave me the scare about snoozing & loosing I went and ordered it from Burberry lol!! :lmao: I hope I love it too!! I am not sure how I feel about the grey part either!! :haha:

I am thinking it may look close to becca champagne gold highlighter

Are you kidding me---Becca Champagne Gold looks like uncooked polenta/cornmeal!!! It's hideous. Gold Glow looks nothing like it. Actually, and this is based solely on pics that I've seen, I'd be more inclined to compare Gold Glow to Dior's Gold Shimmer compact from the TransAt collection.

[COLOR=0000FF]  It's a good thing you did.  As of 3 minutes ago I could no longer find it on Nordie's web site.  I'm not worried about the claims of greyishmess![/COLOR]   [COLOR=0000FF] Are you kidding me---Becca Champagne Gold looks like uncooked polenta/cornmeal!!!  It's hideous.  Gold Glow looks nothing like it.  Actually, and this is based solely on pics that I've seen, I'd be more inclined to compare Gold Glow to Dior's Gold Shimmer compact from the TransAt collection.[/COLOR]

T had Becca opal as a dupe but the pic I saw on instagram looks champagne gold. I'm trying to resist the urge!!!

My eyes must be really bad---I have everyone of the highlighters that T suggested are dupes and I don't agree with any of them, just by looking at her photos.
Oh well, we'll find out soon enough.

Oh no.

 

[awickedshape]

Oh no.

Eh,it's a little iffy but no big deal. Are you getting it, dear?

No. They were not very good at all. A real disappointment!!! That surprised me about Dior. I have the gold shimmer one from the TransAt collection and
​it's magnificent. Don't know what happened to Dior this time around.

Exactly---I saw that too. I guess they depleted what was their current stock and are now expecting more soon.

I'm glad with Dior for this year's holiday palettes bed at least there's only one glitter. Last year there are a couple and their glitter ain't good.
