Burberry does make up!
It seems that every major fashion house has to branch out into the beauty sector, with the likes of Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and D&G doing so well I don't know what took Burberry so long! Who's next?
The Burberry packaging is as sleek as you would expect it to be, it feels very luxurious and the reflective metallic packaging with the subtle Burberry print looks very nice, I'm glad they didn't do it in a more obvious way.
Below we have the Lip Glow in 'Heather' which is a dark plum shade with a cream finish, I wore it today and I have to say it's not my shade - I would say this would suit a more mature woman. On the good side, it's not sticky and feels really moisturising on the lips.
The Sheer Eyeshadow in 'Porcelain' is a small compact with a mirror, it also has a black velvet pouch.
The colour is a pale champagne, in terms of Mac it's a combination of 'Ricepaper' and 'Naked Lunch'. It's a nice highlight or all over lid colour. It's nicely pigmented, I'm not sure why it's called 'sheer'? It's finely milled and not chalky.
Here are some swatches...
What do I think? It's beautiful and high quality but it's just not my cup of tea. I feel like it's aimed at the more mature wealthy woman! It would be nice to see the other colour options, I'm sure there's a nice nude lipstick and hot pink lipgloss for the younger lot. :) I'm sure many people who are Burberry lovers will be ecstatic and want everything but this range doesn't wow me and I wouldn't recommend spending your money on it as I think there's better.
Available exclusively at Harrods from 12th July in the UK . Prices start from £15.
What do you think about fashion houses and their makeup ranges? I love Chanel Makeup!

Speaking of my hubby, he carries a Burberry wallet, and it's starting to fall apart, too! It's a shame because it looks very classic.
I don't think I'll buy anything from this line only because I'm on a make-up diet. XD

Speaking of honest reviews, a while back you posted a review on perricone MD. Now I've seen it around on giveaways on a few other blogs and they've been recommending it! But since I read your review here, I have not been interested.
Thank's for a great post:)
As for your question: Dior shadow palettes have always had my approval for the quality of the products, the pigmentation, the buildability and its been quite consistent across the palettes. Packaging however - REALLY UGLY (in my mind). And Chanel is timeless - no one says no to Chanel.
Have a good one.
