Review⎪BURBERRY Sheer Foundation

This was an unexpected discovery. Burberry Sheer Foundation has been rolling around my room for some time. My sister left it in my room, and she hasn't worn it since she first bought it so I thought I'd give it a try. I wasn't feeling like wearing a thick foundation, but I did want a bit of coverage. I picked this foundation up, just for the fun of it, and smoothed it all over my face. It was my first time trying it, and instantly my gut reaction was, this is nice.

I've been wearing it everyday since I first tried it. My hands keep going to it, preferring it over all my other foundations. I thought it was about time that I shared it with you guys, telling you what I think about it!

First of all, the full name is "Sheer Foundation" Luminous Fluid Foundation in the shade Trench No. 04. It is the perfect match for me.

Like its name, this foundation is definitely a medium coverage foundation. You can build it up to heavier coverage, but even then, it would be nowhere near the Estee Lauder maximum coverage foundation. Though I love my heavy-duty coverage foundations, I feel this foundation does enough of the coverage and with the shade being just right for me, I am happy with it just being medium coverage. I have my concealers to do the extra job of covering a few spots.

What I love about this foundation is the texture. When you pump it, it look as though it'd be on the velvety-matte side. But once you spread it all over your face, you are left with the dewiest, healthiest glow. This is en par with my all-time fave Nars Sheer Glow foundation. The thing about this is that it is lasts longer than the Nars Sheer Glow, AND it does not break me out! That is a definite big plus.

I've worn this foundation all day, and not only does it last really well (with the primers I wear, of course) but because it keeps the glow on my face all day long and it doesn't break me out, I feel content and safe wearing this! Whereas other foundations sometimes makes my skin feel itchy and makeup feeling heavy, this feels so unbelievably velvety and light, at the same time, giving off that glow and dewiness!

It also smells nice. I'm not one to care for the smell, but this smells nice and even though I have uber sensitive skin, the fragrance doesn't seem to cause any trouble!

Finally, packaging. I mean, it is Burberry and if you need a trophy on your topshelf, this sleek packaging won't do you any harm for sure!

I honestly can't say enough good things about this: good coverage, beautiful texture (dewiness, glow), long-lasting, no breakouts, smells nice, and beautiful packaging.

Highly recommend! xx

Peony Blush by Burberry

For Christmas, my brother-in-law got me a gift card to Saks Fifth Avenue. Yes, I'm lucky like that :) Though the amount I received was quite a lot, it wasn't quite a lot in Saks-standards, unfortunately... like, to buy clothes and such. So in choosing between buying maybe ONE item, I opted to use my gift card to get what I love the most. BEAUTY PRODUCTS! So in a recent trip to Saks, I picked up a couple of things. Of them was this Peony Blush no.4 by Burberry.

I truly think Burberry has one of the best packaging and quality in beauty products. I think it surpasses a lot of high-end brands and every time I pick them up and try them on, I am constantly surprised and pleased by their luxurious branding and quality. To me, Burberry makeup is not just a hype. It's really that good.

While my sister was having a makeover at the counter, I was becoming very fond of a particular blush. It looked so lovely and natural on my sister's cheeks. It's this Peony blush that is a light but not pale pinky color. I recently wrote a blog post about the only pink blush I own, from Nyx. Although that's good and all, sometimes, you get what you pay for. This shade of pink by Burberry is absolutely glowing and so very natural. I use the brush it comes with and when you dap it on your cheeks, you get just the right amount and the color is the exact effect of a face freshly flushed by a Spring's breeze. Poetic, eh? :)

Swatching on my wrist. Perhaps it looks too subtle but that's just one sweep across! Imagine how beautiful that'll look on the cheeks :)

That's how natural the color is. It's like a natural glow or a flush. I say this about a lot of blushes I know, but I think this is the best of them all. It seriously puts on a PERFECT amount on your cheeks. Some blushes you need to dap a lot, others, you've got to be careful. This, it's so subtle and yet so visible that it brings an impact to your look.

I haven't tried any other color but this pink I think, would suit any skin tone! It's not pale pink, but rather a soft pink and so it almost adapt to any skin tone. It wears on the whole day.

Also, it smells so beautiful! All of their beauty products seem to have this fragrance embedded in them, and it smells gorgeous. The packaging... need I say? It's magnetic and heavy, making it all worth the money that you pay for. It is rather pricey, because I mean, it's Burberry. But this ain't no hype! They really ARE worth it :)

The Lips that Never Go Wrong (BURBERRY LIP MIST)

There's the old saying, never say never. But somehow, I challenge that with this Burberry Lip Mist in the color Copper no.202. It has been the lip product I go to when all seems to fail. It has never failed to satisfy me, impress me, and urge me to go buy the full size version of this product. I had first received the sample size of this in my Glossybox and have incessantly used it. I am about to hit bottom of that sample (which surprisingly lasted me for so long!) and decided I mustn't put it off any longer. I'm going to go buy it.

Considering the price of some high-end beauty products nowadays (a paramount example, the Tom Ford lipstick that I adore pricing at some $50) this lip product was fairly affordable. It was $32. Not bad, considering how much wear I'd get out of this.

A lip mist is supposed to be the natural sheer finish that you can apply "without a mirror". There the ones you need a lip brush for, and then there are these sheer kinds that you can just sweep on your lips anytime during the day. It's also super moisturizing, and even the chappiest lips are nourished with this lippie. When you put it on, your lips get this gleen moistness and any mark of dryness if completely gone! Also, the moisture lasts all day. It's like a luxury lip balm with a good pigmentation even though it's sheer.

What I love so much about this product and the color is the ever so au naturel finish of it all! It gives you this clean, nourished lips that has the enhanced color of the lip product. Copper has to be one of my faves because this, though it looks dark, has this slight pink tint to it that gives such a pretty and polished look. It's not pretty as in, in-your-face-I-am-a-doll look, but more as in, oh-look-how-subtly-polished-of-a-girl-I-am look!

And just look at the packaging. Need I say more? It's Burberry, and unlike other products that have their mark engraved on the tip of the lipstick, giving you only a few use before their mark is erased, this one has it all down the sides. That gives you the pleasure of showing off those Burberry checks until you hit pan for these lippies :)

P.S. the case is magnetic. (HOW SWEET IS THAT!)
