Burberry Spring 2013 Blushes – Hydrangea Pink & Coral Pink

Filed under blush by on March 3, 2013 at 12:59 am {26 comments}

Hi all!

I went to Hongkong last week for a very short trip. When I saw this blush in Burberry Beauty counter in Hongkong, I immediately swatch it and decided to grab these two. It is very hard for me to decide one blush between these two especially it is retailing at a cheaper price in Hongkong compared to Singapore. I have not seen Burberry Spring 2013 products in Singapore, but the SA told me that it should be available in March.

I am so excited to share my Burberry Spring 2013 picks. I am a big fan of Burberry blushes, hence it’s so exciting for me to see that Burberry is releasing two new shades for spring 2013. Burberry has one of the nicest blush texture, it’s matte yet it blends very well on the skin.

I won’t be talking into details about the packaging of these blushes as it’s the same as other Burberry blushes.

Firstly, I’m going to talk about Hydrangea Pink.

Hydrangea Pink is a fuchsia pink. This blush is very pigmented. You need to be careful when applying this blush on the cheek. with one swipe, you’ll see the color very obviously. This blush is matte, no shimmer at all.

Now onto the second blush, Coral Pink. Coral pink is slightly lighter than Hydrangea Pink.  As the name says, Coral pink has a coral undertone. The pigmentation is just as good as Hydrangea Pink. One swipe is perfect to get the color to pop on your cheek.

Comparison with Illamasqua Hussy:

I have heard that Hydrangea Pink looks similar with Tom Ford blush in Narcissist. Unfortunately I don’t have that blush to be compared.  I don’t own many matte blushes, most of my blushes contains slight shimmer. However I own one bright matte blush from Illamasqua – Hussy.

Hydrangea Pink – Illamasqua Hussy – Coral Pink

Illamasqua Hussy looks different with both Hydrangea Pink and Coral Pink. When compared, Illamasqua Hussy leans towards coral more than Hydrangea Pink and Coral Pink.

Final Thought:

As usual, Burberry blushes never disappoints. The texture is very fine, soft and blends beautifully. It lasts with me for about 5-6 hours depending on my activity. For ladies who loves pink cheek, these products are definitely worth checking!

Burberry Complete Eye Palette in 05 Dark Spice

Filed under eye shadow, Uncategorized by on January 26, 2013 at 12:00 pm {13 comments}

Burberry Complete Eye Palette in 05 Dark Spice  is my second Burberry palette, I have reviewed the smokey grey here. No doubt about it, this palette texture are amazing, very buttery and pigmented. Also this colors are more in my comfort zone.

I found this palette very unique in the color combination with three matte colors and one with gold flecks color.  Following picture are the closer look of the palette, having said that because of the lighting (I guess :p), the first picture capture the color much better.

The only problem I’ve got, I think this only happen to me tho. I found this quite challenging to use all the 4 colors in one go and the second color from the top is difficult to blend. Anyway we don’t have to use all the four colors in one look right? Below swatches are taken without primer and colors are beautifully smooth and pigmented.

And here’s my look with Dark Spice paired with Burberry Tangerine blush, more details coming soon :)

Thanks for reading!

Burberry Complete Eye Palette in 01 Smokey Grey

Filed under eye shadow, FOTD by on January 15, 2013 at 2:23 am {15 comments}

Hi everyone, I haven’t post anything since I came back from holiday because work has been very busy lately unfortunately and I am trying my best to stay away from the computer after 9 to 10 hours staring on it in the office. I got this beauty back in December right before my holiday.

I don’t fancy this palette in the first place but when I see it in person, I changed my mind. Aiming for the plum pink or dark spice but David Jones completely out of stock with only two left in Smokey grey and Pink Taupe. Pink taupe is pretty in the pan but I’m afraid the color washed out in my skin tone and the MUA told me one of the shade is pale barley in that palette and I have that already in my stash. With a sad face I settled with Smokey grey.

This palette comes with 3 little brushes, I wish they fit the brushes inside the palette. Packaging are similar or should I say identical with the blush but this palette is lighter than the blush.

I love how they have 2 shimmers eyeshadow and 2 matte in this palette. For the formula of this palette is similar with the single eyeshadow, buttery and pigmented just how I like it :) On top of that the pattern in the shadows are incredible.

Smokey grey is not bad after all, its good for a change in my stash hehehe… Finally the swatches of the complete eye palette under natural lights.

And last but not least is my take on this palette. I tried it this morning to work, and I love the look! It’s not too much for everyday look as I thought it will be.. The picture didn’t captured the beautiful shades of this palette as these taken in hurry with iPhone :p I’m sure smokey palette will work for everyone!

Thanks for reading! During my trip I also managed to get Dark Spice yay! Review coming soon…

Burberry Beauty Event at Tangs Orchard

Filed under blush, bronzer, eye shadow, lip color by on January 7, 2013 at 2:22 am {12 comments}

Last December I attended a Beauty Blogger event from Burberry. I snapped some pics so that you guys know what’s happening :)

Celebrity Make Up Artist Larry Yeo was there to do a demo makeup. He was using Burberry Palette in Smoky Grey 01.

I received some goodies from Burberry to try on the products. During the event, some items were going on sale too. I purchased few items. So here are the items I purchased and I received during the event :)

I am going to do a quick review on the make up products here. I will only share about my thoughts on the texture and the color in this post. I will have a more detailed post on the packaging or FOTD in a separate post.

Burberry Palette No 6 in Plum Pink

This is my first ever Burberry eye palette. Plum Pink is a very pretty palette. It combines neutrals with plum colors. The texture and pigmentation does not disappoints, it blends very easily and the color payoff is so nice.

Burberry Lip Velvet in Rose Pink

Rose Pink is a dark pink with a hint of plum. Burberry Lip Velvet has amazing texture and pigmentation. It glides on easily and it stays with me for at least 4-5 hours. Although I am not a fan of lip velvet because it’s less moisturizing, I can’t say that I don’t like Burberry Lip Velvet. It has great moisturizing effect on me compared to lip velvet/matte from other brands.

Burberry Blush in Earthy

I have always been wanting to get Burberry Blush in Earthy. It has a very subtle warm color that blends very well to my cheek. It has matte finish hence it’s very suitable to be used as a contour powder. I am so glad that I got this blush as it’s very versatile. I am currently using this more as a bronzer but in times when I don’t feel like wearing blush or when I am wearing a bolder lip color, I will reach for Burberry earthy as both bronzer and blush.

 

Wow, that’s a pretty long post. I hope I would be able to do some LOTD post for you. I have so many items to be reviewed so please bear with me if I am kinda late to post the FOTDs or any detailed post :)

 

Thank you for reading

Nars Laguna Review

Filed under blush, bronzer by on December 19, 2012 at 1:24 am {11 comments}

Hi all!

I am currently addicted to Bronzers. For the last few months, I been watching make up tutorial on youtube and been asking few of my MUA friends to teach me how to contour my face. I used to have no confidence to wear bronzers as I was afraid that my face would look two toned LOL!! After few trial and errors, I am finally confident that I can do contouring to myself. Well my contouring technique is not perfect, I still need to learn to blend more smoothly but at least I am happy now :)

Nars Laguna is one of the bronzers that many people are raving about. I got this last month and I have been using this for the last few days. Nars Laguna texture is very good. It blends nicely and it’s so buttery. It has micro shimmer that looks very nice when applied. I usually avoid buying shimmery bronzer as I prefer a matte bronzer to avoid glowy face throughout the day. But Nars Laguna seems to be different. The shimmer is finely melt into my skin and it results in a very nice glow without making my face looks too oily/glowy.

I have swatched Nars Laguna alongside with my other bronzers; Burberry Sheer Summer Glow and Too Faced Bronzing Powder in Chocolate Soleil. As you can see, all the colors look similar because I am choosing a bronzing powder that can be used daily. However Nars Laguna seems to be more pigmented and provides a more shimmery finish. Burberry Sheer Summer Glow  seems to have the sheerest texture.

 I did a look with Nars Laguna.

The face product I used in this look:

Burberry Velvet Finish Foundation

NARS Laguna

NARS Deep Throat

 

Final Thought:

Nars Laguna is raved worthy! Excellent formula, great color and great pigmentation!

Thank you for reading! :)
