Burberry Beauty

[Bronwyn]

Has anyone tried the effortless blend able kohl multi use crayon? Are the Burberry kisses lipsticks worth it formula wise?

Decided to take a break at work today and go for a walk because I was so horrible last week and barely budged. Well on my way back I ran into Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul). Gushed all over him (poor guy). And to keep it on topic, I was wearing all Burberry: Fresh Glow foundation in Nude Ochre Orange Blossom Lip and Cheek Bloom/ Rose Light Glow Blush Gold Copper Eye Colour Cream Pink Heather Eye Colour Cream Peach Delight Lip Kisses Oh my gosh that is so cool! That show is just excellent Made my day!!

Sad but true: considering the box for the brush and Fresh Glow since I have full size Earthy and an old formula Military Red...

I haven't played with Nickel yet, btw. Way too hot out for a shade like that. I think Optic White is my next purchase though since I like the Glow shades.

Got the fresh glow foundation in the mail yesterday in #11 (porcelain, the lightest shade they offer) unfortunately, it's about a shade or two too dark for me. I'm fairer than nw15 in MAC. I currently use MUFE Ultra HD in Y205, which is a suuuuper fair neutral shade, it's probably a shade too light but it's the closest I've ever been to matching and I can always warm it up with bronzer. However, the formula is sooooo lovely, I'm going to try to make it work. Today I mixed it with Ultra HD. I did one full pump MUFE, and 1/2 pump burberry. It went on so nice and blends perfectly together. It gives great medium coverage easily. I'll see how it wears throughout the day. I wore the burberry alone last night and the shade seemed to match in all lighting except my super yellow nasty bathroom lighting. It was dusk outside though so I couldn't see exactly. I was going to a dark bar so I didn't mind if it oxidized a little so I could get a feel for the formula / wear. I loved how it felt and how it looked. Definitely dewy. Light/medium coverage. Built up beautifully to medium without looking cakey or needing tons of product. Didn't feel sticky or too wet after it set. I always use a setting spray because it's soooo humid in florida and we were outside at night for about 4.5 hours. When I got home it still looked freshly applied after about 6.5 hours but it was time for bed so I washed it off and was unable to test it for the long haul. Sorry for the big spheal.

@lauren thank you for the details on the foundation!! It sounds wonderful and exactly what I look for!

I can't wait for my camouflage product to come. I watched the Sephora Youtube videos on the fall collection. They showed the palette but used other products. I was such a big Burberry fan but I'm having trouble getting back into the brand. I haven't tried any of the new formulas and products. I'm thinking now maybe I should have bought palette in the department store so I can get some tips. I think I want to try the Storm Green eyeliner. It looks like a nice color online.

I was going to get that beauty box set since I wanted Earthy but now I'm thinking I may just get a full size of Earthy blush and skip the box.

Thank you for such a well thought out and detailed review. I have worn one of the original foundations from Burberry in the past. I never really fell in love with it, but I'd love to try another one from them again. Let us know what you ultimately decide about this one.

Just received the Burberry Face Contour Pen (in Dark no. 2), Fresh Glow Highlighting Pen and the Cashmere concealer. I like the Contour Pen; I was thanking God that it was dark enough on my NC 50 skin tone, which is actually a bit darker due to how much I've tanned this summer. It has a slightly waxy texture; EXTREMELY easy to blend, which is great, and the color (Dark, at least) is cool toned. The Fresh Glow pen has a similar texture, although a bit less waxy and dries to a drier, kind of cream to powder finish. Same color and tone as the liquid version of itself. I've never had a sponge tip concealer, but I like the small tip of this one (I think its slightly smaller than the Tom Ford version, but I haven't played with that one since its initial release). I bought Chestnut No. 10, which is a great subtle brightening concealer for me (it's pretty similar to NARS Amande in tone, but I'll have to compare once I get home), especially if I want to do very natural highlighting. 

Oh man. My never ending wish list just got longer. Thanks for this review. That contour pen sounds really nice. So does the concealer. Amande is HG for me but I have to top it with touch éclat to get the effect I like. So this may be right up my alley.

You watch too!!! Isn't Better Call Saul just the best? Did you watch Breaking Bad as well? The building I work in is used as Jimmy McGill's (i.e., Saul's) brother's law firm. I was able to watch a few scenes being filmed in the lobby from the third floor balcony, which was lots of fun. But I found myself playing hooky from work way too often. At one point I was so tempted to shout down to the makeup artist in the lobby, "What kind of makeup brushes are you using?" Next time... lol!

Yes! It is. I think it really rivals the quality of breaking bad. The dark comedy is just so spot on. That's so cool! You totes should ask That would be a huge distraction

It's here!! I love that it's not completely matte.

So I finally got a response back from sephora. They just said to call their customer service line. That's exactly what I wanted to avoid due to phone anxiety. Oh well, I guess I will have to.

I hate when I get phone anxiety. But at least no one can see the crazy faces and (sometimes) inappropriate gestures I'm making at them when things aren't going my way. Hopefully you'll get a sweet competent person and it will all be resolved easily. ****fingers crossed****

<3 thank you. Yes, that's very true. For me, it is lots of hand clenching. I just need to get it over with so I'm writing down on all the info I'll potentially need.

Got my Palette as well!! The green is gorgeous!!!!!!!!



The picture is making the swatch more bland than it is!! The black shade is the only matte one!!others have a lovely sheen to it!!

 

[MrsBaine]

This looks pretty! I've been wavering on whether or not I need this one. Does the green look like anything else you have?

It's a blackened olive green with a golden sheen!! Kind of like if the deepest green in tisse D automne had a golden sheen!! I think Armani green iron over a black base could yield the same effect (maybe a tad more sheen than this one) !! Overall I really like it!! Tbh I went in for the camo pattern but the green is brilliant!!
