Updates! - Burberry Sheer Foundation

Hello Guys!

Okeyh,

I promised you guys I would update on the effects of Burberry Sheer Foundation kan?

So this is how it looks like on my face (early in the morning)

On face:

Base: Burberry Sheer Foundation (Trench 06)
Blusher - MAC luminzer (in Pink)
Lippie: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable in Honey Douce
Mascara - Loreal Collagen Volume Mascara

Love the texture and how it looks kinda glowy on my skin... and the blusher works well too. (P/S : I love pink blushers more than coral ones).

Btw, The mole on my nose looks massive!!!

Plus point ? Covers all the imperfections on my skin too! And I love the shade that the SA recommended too!!!

Price wise? It's a bit on the high side for foundations (RM165 if I'm not mistake)... But then again, I don't slab foundation all over my face like nobody's business thus, a 30 ml bottle can well last me for like, 1 year plus.

Love, Jue

Lips ahh... - Burberry Beauty Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick

I don't really understand why Burberry calls their lipsticks "Lip Cover", but if you're talking about SOFT, and SATIN, this is the lipstick for you. Please apologise for the blurness of the pics ya? Tried to take good shots but lighting wasn't great...

These are how the external Burberry Boxes look like...

Three Colours - Heather (13), Antique Rose (11) and Sephia (12)

From top: Heather, Sephia and Antique Rose

#1 Heather

Description - Gives you a slightly more reddish, maroon hue

#2 Sephia

Description - More or less the same as Heather, but with a slightly glossy sheen, and less reddish. Nevertheless, I love the colour too...

#3 Antique Rose

Description - The lightest colour I bought today. Looks nice and natural. I'd pair it with a slight touch of lip gloss on top, just enough to give a slight shimmer and plump to it. But I'm very much sure that this would appeal more to the younger generation. Really really versatile colour.

So basically now you know how those lipsticks shall look on your lips.

My suggestion to make them look better:-

- Wear a slight tinge of lipgloss on top of it to bring out the richness in the colour.

- Use a lip brush for a more well-defined application and control.

VERDICT?

Love the natural, autumn colours. Fits day-time and night-time occassions very well.

Do drop by the Burberry Counters for free make-over and consultations ya?

Like a Canvas...Only Feather-light, Natural and Glowing...

So continuing on to the foundation reviews, like I have written earlier, both me and Mom had a make-over from the ever so friendly Makeup Artist (MUA) - Kay. He was such a good sport! Lively, Bubbly and yet was so professional.If one thing that makes me go bonkers and overboard in spending, its definitely CUSTOMER SERVICE QUALITY. It's what would make Eskimos buy from Ice from an Ice Vendor, as my dad would say!
And today, I definitely felt that extra spending urge coming out! But then again, I shouldn't deny that I loved how the Sheer Foundation melted and set on my skin. If you're looking for a moisturised, dewy look that glows from within as if you just stepped out from a one-hour gym workout, this is definitely suitable for you. It's not cakey or matte, or heavy looking, and looks even much better after a few hours of wearing it due to the your skin's natural oil blending in with the foundation.

So as you could see here, my foundation (No. 6) is of a lighter colour than Mom's (No. 7).

And so the Verdict?

RESULTS

Sheer coverage, moist and dewy like stepping out from a warm shower...looking red and glowy...sigh...

WHAT I LIKE?

The light, almost non existant feeling of a foundation. It definitely feels just like wearing a moisturiser. And since its water-based, it doesn't clog your pores, leaving you with beautiful, healthy skin. So this is definitely a keeper!

WHAT I DON'T LIKE?

Just the price I believe, but it doesn't matter because its a lovely foundation...one of the best few ones I've tried by far!

WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN?

Absolutely. It's very rare to find a foundation that actually makes you glow, rather than simply just covering flaws on your face. However, if you're looking for a matte coverage, this could be rectified with extra puffs of the pressed powder.

Unearthing Burberry's Beauty Secrets...

Yahoo! Just received a Newsletter from Isetan saying You've Just Received an Isetan Voucher worthed RM 164. Please collect at the Isetan Customer Service Counter before June 2011.

Su-weeet! Of course I believe as a woman, it is only NATURAL that vouchers like these would definitely be used mui' (much) earlier than the actually date...unless you simply slipped the voucher somewhere...OR slipped your mind instead (are you kidding???) So either way, I find myself stomping in my most comfortable pair of Nike flats to Isetan today, faster than the speed of light to hoard those Beauty Counters.

My wishlist was originally to purchase a pair of shoes suitable for a certain special occassion, but of course being as naughty as ever, my eyes caught attention on this new Beauty Counter in Isetan...Gee, it looks like a New-Comer for women's makeup...Owh my, It's Burberry.

Secretly being a fan of Burberry, I've always fancied Burberry's haute couture, which exudes a certain 'British' kind of confidence which was more to being cool and subdued, yet elegant and casually refined.

Having the couture boutique placed in KLCC for quite some time, Burberry Couture just landed in Isetan on January 26, 2011. Thus, I was very determined to stop by its counter to see what Burberry Beauty offers to us.

At the moment, Burberry offers the Sheer Foundation - Luminous Liquid line. According the wonderfully helpful Makeup Artist we chatted by name of Kay, this line stresses the concept of breatheable, natural, light coverage of which targets more to bring out the naturally rich skin colour of the wearer. In addition to this, I love the fact that it's water based and has moisturising properties to protect your skin. Sounds good to me!
