Burberry Beauty

[Winthrop44]

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.

Great swatches. Thanks!

I just ordered 4 of the Burberry Kisses lipsticks. Two from Sabrina's swatches and two other random pink colors. I haven't purchased any Burberry makeup for a few years. I have some of the original lipsticks and sheer eyeshadows, and haven't picked up anything since. I have 6 Nordstroms in my area and only one has a Burberry counter, and I can never seem to make it there!

When I saw these pop up on Nordstrom website, I had the urge the pull the trigger. I wanted to try these first before the new Rouge Cocos (I have the sampler card, jury is still out on them). Like I said, when reviewing all of Sabrina's swatches, these just "spoke" to me!

Has anybody else ordered any of these new lipsticks?

 

[Winthrop44]

I really want to try them but can't decide on a color (or colors!) Which 4 did you get?

I am really trying to buy more softer shades (to even out the million vibrant lipsticks I have), so I tried 3 lighter/softer colors and one that could be brighter. I guess I'll see when they get here!

29 Blossom Pink
33 Rose Pink
41 Pomegranate Pink
89 Rose Blush

 

[Winthrop44]

Do you think Tulip Pink and Blush would be bright? I hope Sabrina goes to a counter soon to pick out some shades on her own. I really need more swatches! I think I will at least wait for Beauty Professor's review.

Finally got my hands on the Fresh Glow Powder in Golden Radiance! I ordered it from SAKS a while back and they cancelled the item from my order. I forgot about it and then realized I had better hurry up and grab one asap! It swatches so nicely.

I have this and love how it even works as a subtle bronzer on my very fair skin.

Another review of the Burberry Kisses lipsticks:

Love Coral Pink on her! And I got these from my SA. They're rather small and there are some dupes, but I thought I'd share. I'm not so sure about the equivalents chart though. I bought new Tulip Pink, and it's darker than the original although the tone is similar.

 

[Winthrop44]

Oh wow, thanks for all that peanut!!

I ran into the new lipsticks at my local Nordstrom tonight. The testers were brand new and untouched, so I tried on a few colors that I had been interested in. They are very sheer and need to be built up, so the color payoff is not that impressive. The colors I tried were almost patchy, accentuated any dry spots on my lips and they were not hydrating. I was going to pick up Blossom Pink, I think was the name, but passed for now. I wasn't really impressed. I was hoping they would be much creamier. I was thrilled they were unscented though!!!

I think they're intended to be like the new Chanel Rouge Cocos, exactly as you're describing, where 1 swipe gives you sheer color and more gives you a more opaque lipstick look. I like that myself, because many times I take an opaque lipstick and just tap it on for sheer or less intense/bright color. The patchy and not hydrating part does not make me happy though!

I used it today and I'm loving it. Not over the top but definitely shows up. Smooth and easy to work with. Do you have the Nude Radiance as well?

No I don't. Which do you like best?

Thanks for the heads-up.

Ha, I don't have it either. I was going to ask you which you prefer if you had both.

I like lighter formulas for the spring/summer too, just don't want the thick, opague type lipsticks when it's hot out. The problem with this formula is that it's waxy and stiff. I have several of the new Chanel RC and those are at least emollient, although sheer. These suckers were just stiff lol I'll probably end up getting one still bc I really like the packaging lol

Okay well I am going to either pretend I never read this or hope that was because they were brand new testers and they get better when they're broken in a bit.
