It is pretty, though, and sometimes the nondescript easy-to-wear ones make their way into our hearts, anyway (or at least our makeup bags, lol!).

On the lids, it is just Bbia pigment over an eyeshadow primer. <br />The lipstick scent isn't so bad, but I guess I can spend my money on something I don't have to get used to. I'd love to try Burberry blushes and eyeshadows soon, though. :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-10420050934667342852015-02-24T14:02:15.336-05:002015-02-24T14:02:15.336-05:00Forget about the lips!

But then, I found the lighter cooler undertones in the Lip Glow appealing.<br />I would definitely be interested in exploring their pressed powder formulations. I'm making a note of "Midnight Brown" as well.

I do see what they offer is nice but never find myself wanting anything badly. I guess I am safe in that sense. ;) I also think I should have gone with the Lip Mist version since sheer lipsticks are my favorites of the moment.

I'm not a fan of lip glosses so I never think of purchasing any lip glosses, period. I do like Burberry's blushes though. They eye shadows are pretty good too. I haven't really tried anything else, other than its lipsticks. I don't like the scent, but I got used to it. I find that there are better matte lipsticks out there than their Lip Velvets, and also better lipsticks in general.

I have two Burberry products, a lipstick and Midnight Brown eyeshadow. Midnight Brown smooth and delightfully buttery and has an incredible look on the skin, like you used several shadows to achieve the look instead of just one. I wore it on my wedding day, so it's definitely a fave! The lipstick is ok, but not my favorite of all-time. kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131185232993094419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-35050498187015786362015-02-22T13:29:55.109-05:002015-02-22T13:29:55.109-05:00The packaging is so pretty and looks pretty luxe! ...The packaging is so pretty and looks pretty luxe!
