Introducing Vintage Gold, a new collection from Burberry Beauty for the festive season. Collection includes a limited edition Burberry Beauty Charm, limited edition festive shade of Burberry Beauty Lip Glow, and the new effortless Complete Eye Palette
Burberry’s new Lip Velvet formula is supposed to be long-wearing and have a velvet-matte finish, while feeling both comfortable and hydrating to wear. The color is described as “dense and luminous.” The packaging has a matte finish instead of the glossy cases of the brand’s regular lipstick range. It has a magnetic enclosure and comes in a square tube. It has a sweet, almost fruity, scent but no discernible taste.
It’s creamy, glides on easily, and feels like it has a fair amount of silicone in it (it just has that smooth glide of silicone). Pink Apricot goes on with full color coverage and wore well for six and a half hours. During and post-wear, it was not drying. It was lightly hydrating overall, and I don’t need to reach for lip balm after wearing this for eight hours. Despite its creaminess, it’s lightweight and has a thin consistency–not thick or movable really. There’s a very subtle cling but not the kind that you really feel, just the kind where you know your lipstick won’t be migrating everywhere.

On my skin tone, Earthy is a light dusting of warmth and natural color; it’s a shade I can use as a light bronzer or as a contour. On lighter complexions, it could be used similarly, but it will be more noticeable as a blusher if desired. It will have a tendency to look invisible on darker complexions, because the color itself will be too similar to the natural pigmentation, but it might work as a finishing powder or as a highlighter on deeper skin tones. It doesn’t have an ashy base color, so it won’t look chalky on darker skin tones.
Burberry’s blush stands out for its incredibly soft, silky-smooth, and finely-milled texture. It’s like crushed pearls to the touch. It’s one of the softest blushes on the market, and it’s not even a smidgen powdery. Those qualities enable it to apply beautifully and lay naturally against the skin. It doesn’t look caked on no matter how much you apply, and it blends effortlessly. It has good color payoff, but it’s buildable color, too. Earthy lasted eight hours and had signs of fading after nine hours.

Explore velvet intensity with Lip Velvet Long Wear Lipstick. Burberry innovation brings a new finish for lips: a velvety matte radiance, inspired by the most opulent of English fabrics. Iconic pigments provide incredibly dense and luminous color, gel technology gives comfortable long-wear performance, while triglycerides and wild rose continuously hydrate. The result is effortlessly elegant, protective and breathable.
Burberry’s Light Glow Natural Blush is a formula designed to have good color payoff, easy application, and yield a healthy glow. A lot of the great coral blushes are limited edition, which means once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Blossom is a wearable coral that’s not too pink, but not so orange that it ventures into a reddish area. The texture is as soft as silk, smooth as butter; it’s something you have to touch and feel to appreciate. I didn’t even realize just how soft this powder is until I had played with a few other blush formulas–this was one of the softest, most finely-milled powders.
The finish has a faint sheen, which looks natural and glowy without being shimmery–it doesn’t emphasize pores in the slightest. It actually seems to soften the appearance of them (superficially, not actually). It applies with good color, no need to be careful but you don’t have to spend awhile building up the color if you have a deeper complexion. Because of the soft feel, it blends like a dream. When I tested this shade for wear, I was able to get a full eight hours of wear, and it started to fade after nine hours.
