Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in No. 21 - Midnight Brown

This is my first Burberry eyeshadow and I'm in love. They are $29 a pop but in my opinion sooo worth it. You get a whopping 2.5 grams of eyeshadow! AKA it will last you a looong time.

I think this is a shadow that works for all skintones.

Pale/Fair: It can be a one shadow smokey eye or used as a liner.
Medium: a soft, daytime smokey eye or a great darker neutral to pair with lighter shades.
Dark: it will give you are very natural but stunning one shadow look.

This shadow works basically anywhere within your eye look and that is awesome.


The box it comes with is that classic Burberry beige with the silver/pewter wording. The box is made with a more sturdy material compared to other brands. Feels very luxurious in hand.


Inside the box, you will see the eyeshadow packaging with a velvet pouch. The pouch has an embossed/engraving/something that shows off the iconic Burberry pattern.


The packaging on these shades is very luxe and weight-y. It definitely has a weight to it when you hold it. All in all, it feels and looks like a designer makeup item.


When you open it, it comes with a sponge tip applicator and a protective sheet for the mirror.


The Burberry formula on these are so soft and so pigmented. Far from what the name of the eyeshadow suggests. It works so well with other shadows and an amazing one eyeshadow look product.

From what I have seen from this range, all the shadows vary from mattes, satins, and shimmery satins. You will not find any glitter or frost shades in the line. So if you are a huge fan of neutrals and non-frosty eye shadows, this eyeshadow line form Burberry is one to check out.


This eyeshadow is so stunning on its own. It's a warm brown with a sheen and reflects tiny gold particles. This shadow would make hazel and blue eyes just light up and bring them out in a beautiful way. But in general, this is a great "intro to Burberry" eyeshadow too if you are looking to pick up one.

I do plan on purchasing more of these, this is a fantastic range from Burberry and worth checking out. I have swatched almost all of them and every one across the board is smooth, pigmented, and very wearable. You can create some amazing, every day looks using the shadows from this line.

Have you tried any Burberry shadows? I'd love to know your favorites from the line and from the brand in general. 

Hope you enjoy this and hope you are all well.

Talk to you all soon,

Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick in No. 9 Blush

Seems like I can't get enough lipsticks in this color range.... haha. Here is my VERY first Burberry product. And man, I picked a good one ;).

This is the Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin lipstick in No. 9 Blush. It's a pretty pink with a coral undertone and with tinnyyy specks of micro golden shimmer (barely detectable on the lips). 

The packaging is a stunner. Even the box is nice enough to keep. Comes in a sturdy cardboard with the classic Burberry logo and font.

The lipstick case is a gunmetal color with the Burberry pattern etched onto the top part of the lipstick. 

 Check out the lipstick bullet, it also has the Burberry pattern embossed onto it. It really give this lip range an extra notch of classiness. *Also, you don't feel bad as you use if it had had something embossed to the top of the bullet (like TF on Tom Ford Lipsticks)* haha


It is a creamy texture and a dream to apply on the lipsticks. It is like 85-90% opaque which I love. It's an easy pick for an everyday shade and I love that it goes with a ton of different looks :).

Another great thing about this lipstick is that it is not so glossy that it applies sheer but it's has that opacity with the shine that give this lip color an amazing finish that is right up my alley.

Any thoughts about Burberry lipsticks? I want more, do you guys have an faves from this range? :)

Talk to you all soon!!
