I picked up a couple of pieces from Burberry's newest collection for A/W' 13 - Trench Kisses. Trench Kisses features everything Oxblood - from eye crayons to lipsticks and nail polishes, along with a few other pieces from the permanent line. The Lip Mist Natural Sheer Lipstick in Rosewood is new - its a sheer version of the Lip Cover in Rosewood and the Effortless Kohl in Poppy Black is a brand new formula - its an eye crayon that works as a liner/shadow that can be smudged out for an intense or soft smokey eye.
The Lip Mist in Rosewood ($30; burberry.com) is darker than what I had expected it to be. Its a rosy brown with very fine shimmer. Its not too glossy for the lip mist formula and the color is quite natural looking as a sheer wash. While the lip mists aren't formulated to be very pigmented, I found Rosewood a bit more pigmented than other lip mists I've tried. I would have definitely preferred it a little more glossy, with lesser hints of brown, on my pigmented lips. It still is something I'd wear quite a bit and is a very flattering color for most medium/dark skin tones. Like all of Burberry's lip products, this one too is pretttty strongly scented and the color lasts about 2-3 hours on me without any dryness issues. I don't own anything exactly like this color, but it is quite close to some other colors I own (see comparisons below), like Bobbi Bown's Creamy Lip Color in Italian Rose which is slightly deeper and Bite Beauty Pepper,which is a tad lighter, much more creamier.
Effortless Kohl in Poppy Black ($30; burberry.com) is a richly pigmented, basic black eye pencil that smudges out beautifully. The color is very intense and adheres very well to the waterline. Even on the lash lines, it doesn't smear a lot and works really well as a base too. Effortless Kohl also comes with a sharpener and while its not waterproof, I found it to be water-resistant, with very minimal smudging even after a good 4-5 hours. Overall, its a great liner for the waterline and a nice formula to work with if you like to smudge your eyeliner out for a soft, simple everyday look.

Thank you so much for the shout out!!! I'm glad rosewood will end up being something you will still wear, even though it's a bit darker and not as glossy as you would like :-) I didn't care for the kohl as much…found it difficult to work, but glad to hear you like it!!! Beautiful pictures!!! xo
ReplyDeleteNo problem & thank you! I'm hoping to use Rosewood a lot more in winter..mixing and matching should work :) The Kohl is something I would definitely use...but I feel like Burberry hasn't been consistent with their pieces of late. Your swatch of Rosewood seemed so much glossier and a few I saw on IG were glossy too...mine seems not so glossy :(
