Burberry Beauty: 'Light Glow' Blush in Earthy & Lipstick in English Rose


Burberry has released their new Spring Collection which is said to be
"A natural collection of weather-inspired colors for lips, eyes and skin, as featured in the Burberry Prorsum Womenswear Spring/Summer 2011 Show."
The collection consist of 3 new blushes:
  • 07 Earthy
  • 08 Misty
  • 06 Tangerine
and 3 new lipsticks:
  • 22 Delicate Rose
  • 23 English Rose
  • 24 Romantic Rose
I was excited when I first found out about the new collection but when I started seeing promo pictures I got a little disappointed. I didn't think the colors looked very different from what Burberry already had to offer. But once I saw swatches start popping up I was re-energized and decided that I needed a few new Burberry products. I think Burberry cosmetics are wonderful. I love the fragrance that comes from every product, the packaging is beautiful; the eye shadows, blushes, even lipsticks are smooth and velvety. In my opinion you really can't go wrong. If you like wearable everyday colors that are soft but highly pigmented then Burberry is for you.


Burberry 'Light Glow' Natural Blush in Earthy ($42.00)
Get a bright and radiant finish with warm glowing skin, reminiscent of the freshness of a spring morning.
Earthy is a very pretty soft brown nude/tan color that would be suitable as a contour color as well as a blush. I noticed while playing with Earthy that the color was a bit muted, but once applied to my cheeks left a satin finish. I use the small brush that comes with the blush, the brush itself is actually very nice, soft and picks up a god amount of color. This blush may not be your cup of tea, but I personally love nude/beige blushes, they look very pretty with sultry eyes and fresh lips.




Burberry 'Lip Cover' Spring Collection Soft Satin Lipstick in English Rose ($30.00)
Discover supple and light colors that reflect the natural lip tones. Formulas are hydrating and give a full lip in tone, coverage and color fidelity.
English Rose is a mauve pink color, for some reason it didn't matter how I photographed it the color came out looking a little red. But, English Rose is infact NOT red. I have a few Burberry lipsticks now, and they are usually the first lipsticks I reach for in my collection. My lips are dry and these lipsticks are hydrating so together we are a perfect pair.
