Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow

Meet my new loves......

Burberry makeup was launched in 2010 and mistakenly I did not pay the line any attention at all...until now! It just didn't interest me enough to pay the rather high price tags, but recently I stumbled across the Burberry YouTube channel and fell in love. The more I read about the line, the further I fell. I love natural, effortless makeup and this is exactly what Burberry are promoting.

So anyway, I watched these Burberry tutorials and that was it, I knew what had to be done. After some investigation I found that you can either buy direct from Burberry or Harrods. After the initial joy, came the overwhelming waves of guilt! How can I justify paying this much for an eyeshadow?! So I emailed Harrods, begging them to cancel my order (of course I didn't mention that I was a crazy make up person, I made up a rather long tale about a duplicated birthday gift!) but it was too late, they had already dispatched my parcel. I knew once it arrived I would be powerless to return it, so for that Harrods I thank you, because I would not be without these now (but Natwest hates you)

The packaging is of course very sleek and expensive. All the eye shadows come in those fancy velvet pouches which are nothing but bloody dust collectors! They also come with little sponge applicators, which I tell you aren't half bad for using to smudge under the eye.

So the shadows I picked were (from left to right) Gold Trench, Almond and Taupe Brown. The Burberry website is really helpful and shows you the products to use to recreate each season's look. i fell in love with the Autumn/Winter 2012 look and these were the shadow's used.

Gold Trench (mmmm)

Almond (droooool)

Taupe Brown (squeal)

These shadows are absolutely gorgeous, what I love about them is the buttery texture and buildable colour. They create a beautiful hazy effect on the eye and blend out beautifully, you really cant go wrong. I have honestly never used an eye shadow quite like these and I definitely want more!

I cannot wait to delve further into the Burberry makeup line now!
