What was the first Burberry product you ever tried? Did it pave way for a real romance or did it put you off the brand entirely? What was the first Burberry product you purchased? Did you love it? Hate it? Still own it?
my answer: Burberry Beauty only debuted a little while ago, which makes it easier on my memory The very first product I reviewed was Trench eyeshadow, which is my go-to brow highlighter. It’s mostly matte, but it just matches my skin tone perfectly. It’s soft, silky, and incredibly blendable. The next two products I tried were both blushes, which are soft and lovely if you prefer a softer, more matte finish to your cheek color. I remember being pleasantly surprised by the roll out of the beauty arm of the brand–they didn’t phone it in, and it was well-done. Everything fit the brand to a T.

When it comes to choosing a highlighter, the best kind tend to have a satin-like finish–not too frosted or shimmery, but not entirely matte, because it will reflect light without looking metallic. Both matte and more shimmery highlighters have their place, though Choices for highlighters can vary based on skin tone, as one that works for really pale skin may look very stark against a deeper skin tone.
MAC Brule — MAC has a huge selection of pale beige shades; I also suggest Dazzlelight, Bisque, Blanc Type, Shroom, and Vanilla
Inglot #355 — pale peach with subtle warm undertones
The Burberry Beauty Spring/Summer 2012 look celebrates the British Summer with warm shades. Colour palette inspired by the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 runway collection.
The color coverage is opaque, and Burberry’s Lip Cover is a very creamy, lightweight formula that is really comfortable to wear. It’s hydrating enough to leave lips feeling soft after wear, and Heather Rose wore for four hours. I like how easily it glides on while depositing even color in a single pass. Burberry has a few extra touches I also appreciate in their product, which are the imprinted design on the actual lipstick itself as well as the magnetic case (so the top slides into place). Burberry also gives you more lipstick than most brands at 0.13 oz. (the average is 0.10 to 0.12 oz.).
I really appreciate Burberry's attention to detail, just because it's nice to see the extra touches when you're buying a high-end product. More importantly, the product performs very well--moisturizing, comfortable, and opaque as promised.

Burberry BODY is the first-ever fully integrated fragrance launch across all platforms of the brand and represents the next chapter in 155 years of history. The scent is a feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients – green absinthe, freesia, and illuminating peach which form the top notes; natural rose, iris, and sandalwood at the heart; woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, sensual amber, and musk which compose the base.
Designed by Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey, the bottle itself is a multi-faceted, iconic glass bottle with rose gold engraved check and made with the same craft, intensity and modernity of the classic trench coat. The jewel-like, elegant and feminine design combines with the sophisticated packaging to create a feeling of pure luxury!
Burberry Facebook fans will be able to exclusively sample the new Burberry Body fragrance. Burberry has developed a bespoke application allowing exclusive sampling directly via the brand’s Facebook page.
Burberry Tangerine Light Glow Natural Blush ($42.00 for 0.24 oz.) is new for spring/summer, and it is a darkened, pink-tinged peach with a mostly matte finish. The Light Glow line is designed to deliver softer, more natural color, so the pigmentation level on this blush is right on target–the color payoff is there but it’s not intense or overdone. Initially, it seemed like it was too close to Burberry’s Russet, but this is pinker, less brown. It’s not as plum as MAC Darkly My Dear Blush. It’s pinker than Chanel Espiegle, which comes across as more of a true peach in comparison.
It’s called Tangerine but there’s no accompanying official color description, and this is kind of tangerine, but it’s not the first color I’d think of when I hear the word “tangerine.” I think it’s close enough, and with the way it’s muted down, in line enough not to merit any point deductions.
It’s a soft, easy-to-wear color on both warmer and cooler skin tones, because it’s very much a natural color, and it applies softly without being invisible. I found it impossible to overdo blush with this product, which makes really easy to use. It has a soft, finely milled texture that allows for effortless blending. You won’t have to worry about diffusing harsh lines at all, because the color stretches and blends with a seamless result. It wears for around eight hours over foundation before beginning to disappear.
I think Burberry has done a stellar job on packaging their line, because they provide the heft of high-end with a metal compact that has the brand’s signature check printed on the outside (as well as on the powder itself). Many high-end brands like Chanel and Dior house the majority of their products in plastic, and for $42, it’s nice to see something else. It’s compact, sturdy, slim and portable. It comes with a nice-sized mirror along with an angled brush (that’s actually soft enough and shaped well to make it usable).
For a more natural look, Burberry's Light Glow Natural Blush line is one of my favorites. The powder is so silky smooth and easy to blend that it makes the natural look a cinch to achieve.
