I still have some blogging to do which will include more IMATS items, until then I am going to share with you a few items that I have been loving lately. I bought them the same day as IMATS but they were actually purchased immediately after at Saks. I went to Saks thanks to my girl TaylieTot on Twitter. I asked her where I could see, up close and personal, a Burberry makeup counter when I was in NYC. She had suggested Saks and that's exactly where I headed. I met this fab girly named Lisa who was more than happy to assist me with my purchase. I guess I really didn't need much help because I was practically out of money, thanks to IMATS, and knew the exact two shadows I was going to gobble up. I asked her for Pale Barley and Midnight Brown shadows. Those are the two that I feel in love with after watching Tayler's video on YouTube about her Burberry makeup. I think I have a link in my first Burberry post, but I will add a link below as well. You must check her out because she is FAB! Let me tell you that these colors are absolutely gorgeous! I had it in my mind that I could only purchase two and nothing else. If you follow me you know that I already have the Lipstick and two Glosses by Burberry. Ok so I had my two shadows in my greedy little paws, and I totally steered clear of the lipsticks, because I went crazy at the INGLOT booth at IMATS (post coming soon). I did however inquire about a pressed powder. I was currently using my Chanel Double Perfection for touch ups during the day, and it was getting to be a little heavy. I wanted something light and to just take down the shine if I have any. I also didn't want something too dark to add a lot of unnecessary color to my already tanned skin. Lisa helped me out with this perfect powder in my perfect shade. So I ended up with only 3 Burberry products for Saks and the lovely Lisa. Here is a photo of them below -
To the left is the Midnight Brown shadow, in the middle is my gorg new powder in Trench No.09, and shadow in Pale Barley on the right. I have worn these two shadows every single day since I bought them. They are AMAZING. Let me tell you when I read a blog, or watch a YouTube video and they say that Burberry shadows are the best, everyone is totally CORRECT! These shadows are soft, pigmented, and stay on all day. Midnight Brown has a slight shimmer in the pan but not on the lid. Pale Barley has this gorgeous shine but no glitter or shimmer. They are just amazing. The shadows are $29.00 and TOTALLY worth the price of admission. As for the powder, which is actually called Sheer Luminous Compact Foundation, this is amazing as well. Now that I am using my Gleam mixed with my liquid foundation, I only need a sheer powder to set and this fits the bill. This is quite expensive at $55.00 but once again, totally worth the price. The compact is classy, chunky, and gorgeous. I don't mind a heavier compact that's why I like this one.
All in all I think that Burberry has some amazing products. I must say I am still in LOVE with Chanel and my gorgeous friend Heather. I did try to call Heather back today to talk about the new summer collection that just landed in stores. So I am not giving up my interlocking CC's just yet. I am just going backward in the alphabet and trying a little bit of what the letter B has to offer.
In the case of finding something that made me stray (just a little bit) away from my beloved Chanel - This case is SOLVED!
Here is Tayler's info if you would like to check her out, you will love her, promise! -
