Just when I thought packaging and delivery couldn’t get any better, Burberry introduces their limited edition Winter Glow Collection. Burberry Beauty is timeless and the amount of detail they put into their line is truly something I admire. Now if you are familiar with Burberry makeup you will notice that the packing of this collection is gold, the permanent range is gunmetal. The outer cardboard packaging is a smooth shiny gold as well unlike the true embossed boxes they’re usually housed in.
First up and the stand out item in this collection for me is the Complete Eye Palette in No. 25 Gold. Burberry shadows are my favorite shadow formula due to blendability, pigmentation, and lasting power. I’d say the palette is a mixture of warm and cool tones all with a satin finish.
Starting from bottom to top (swatches here)
- Chocolate warm brown
- Golden Bronze
- Cool Golden Taupe (similar to No. 22 Pale Barley)
- Pale Grey Taupe
Can we talk about the Fresh Luminous Base for a sec? This is a part of the permanent range but they decided to feature it in this collection with gorgeous gold packaging. Nude Radiance No. 01 is a thin liquid highlighter that can be used all over the face, mixed in with your foundation/moisturizer or even precise highlighting over top of your base. Photos will not do this justice and it’s something you must see in person to really understand the finish of this product. I’ve tried nothing like it and now know the secret to Burberry models skin!
Burberry Nail polish in Oxblood is a red based wine shade with a cream finish. It isn’t super dark because of the red undertones but I’d still considerate a “fall” vamp shade. The packaging once again is absolutely stunning, i’ll keep you guys posted on how well the nail formula is. Lastly I was able to try their new fragrance for women, My Burberry. Inspired by the iconic Burberry trench coat, the scent captures the essence of a London garden after the rain. I’m horrible at describing scents but this smells heavenly, it’s very light and fresh. I’d say it’s a very classic smell if that makes any sense.
If you’re thinking of picking up one item from this collection I’d say go for the eyeshadow palette, it’s a beaut and great for everyday. I have a dozen neutral shadows but you can never have too many in my opinion! Below are links to the rest of the collection which include a LE face powder, lip mists and lip glows.
