Burberry Beauty

*fist pump* YES! I'm an enabler!!!
Thanks for clarifying.
I think I'm going to get it. *bites nails* not sure why I"m so nervous.
I missed pale barley on the netaporter site. Ah well, I'll just get the new one. Is there a nomenclature difference btwn old and new? Or do they both say wet/dry silk shadows?

I only have one Burberry single. Hopefully some of the ladies here with both old & new shadows can help you with this.

The old are called sheer eyeshadows and the new are wet/dry eyeshadows

Thank you!

Since the bay.com is selling these and they cost $33 cad each, and you get free shipping if you spend $99 cad, is this a sign that I should buy 3 burberry singles to get free shipping

Thanks much for clearing that up. I'm relatively new to the brand. I started with a single shadow and then got the
holiday e/s palette, the highlighter and some lip products. I just recently ordered another palette. I've really
enjoyed the items that I have so far.

haha so much enabling. I'm not gonna rush to get any especially as there are not enough reviews out to make a decision, and I'll see how I like the one I own, but it's ncie to know they are permanent and I can buy them easily within canada. Btws that le metier de beaute shadow I got in corinthian is so nice, long lasting formula, no creasing, pigmented buttery, highly recommend

The Beautyprofessor.net has some great swatches of the new eyeshadow formula. The new glow formula is really pretty too.

Thanks for posting! She had some wonderful pics! I ended up buying Taupe Brown.

How does the new midnight brown compare to the old midnight brown?

 

[Bronwyn]

I wish more bloggers were testing out the new silk formula

Hey for Canadian resident, the bay finally have some Burberry Makeup online.... not all missing the eyeshadows but I guess it is a working progress.
I'm so happy I just think Net-A-Porter with 20$ shipping fee is a little too much!

Oh really?? That's pretty un-awesome! =(

Canadians, do remember that you can (possibly) get free shipping if you call into Nordstrom's Burberry counter for your order! I called more to get info and originally to pay first then have my brother in Calgary to pick it up for me, but the rep said he'd waive the shipping charge! Only thing is that it takes 5-10 business days. =S I'm located in Toronto and it took pretty much the full 10 days.

Pale barley is one of those chameleon shades it looks very different on everyone .

Yes, original reviewers compared it to Patina, which I can agree with, but I find PB less brown and more golden, which I prefer on most days.

there are two formulas for the new shadows: the wet dry silk which are supposedly pretty much the same as the old ones but with a mix of new old and revamped shades. the wet dry glow are supposedly quite similar to the nars dual intensity shadows.

Have you thought about doing beauty swaps? I've met some lovely ladies in Europe on Instagram whom I've had the pleasure of doing some beauty swaps with. They are a lot of fun.

I was at the burberry counter yesterday for a makeover. I didn't get a chance to play around with the colors too much as my foot was hurting a lot (bunion surgery). I know that chestnut brown didn't swatch well and looked more grayish brown and didn't look like the original. The artist showed on her hand what mulberry looked like wet which was very pigmented, but I don't see myself wetting my eyeshadows honestly. Next time I go I will do more sleuthing lol? On a side note the artist made my face way too dark and orange with foundation and had to start over ugh. I did buy dusty rose liner and tulip pink lipstick which was a very pretty combo.

Thanks for the info. Lucky you live near s counter. Good to know chestnut brown isn't good

Dry Swatches (L to R): Midnight Brown No 21 (old), Chestnut No 05 (old), Chestnut Brown No 301 (new), Taupe Brown No 302 (new), Khaki Green No 306 (new)

I respect everyone's feelings and opinions about the change, but for me, the new shadows swatch just fine dry. They are pigmented and similar in texture as before (when comparing matte to matte, etc). The only difference IMO are the color changes.
