From fashion to fragrance, and now beauty; Burberry seems to be on the pulse of head-to-toe luxury.
Global — Yesterday, while perusing the Nordstrom beauty section, trying desperately not to be lured in by all the pretty confections, I discovered two products I might give a whirl.
First there was Burberry, who launched Burberry Beauty this past summer. Yes, the brand who has roots steeped in outerwear — notably the trench, now offers everything from foundation and eyeshadow to mascara and lip gloss. Burberry ‘Lip Glow’ Natural Lip Gloss in ‘Mocha’, a soft plum color, caught my eye. I love gloss and prefer it rather than lipstick. But my concern is getting stuck with sticky gloss. Kristy, the Burberry rep at Nordstrom assured me this was not an issue with their high-shine gloss, and she was right. I didn’t buy it yet, but I think I just might!
After helping me find the perfect gloss for my pucker, Kristy escorted me to the NARS counter to check out their matte finish foundations; I need to control the shine after all that sartorial sleuthing. There she introduced me to NARS rep Kaoeim who tested a few shades of Nars Sheer Matte Foundation on my jaw line including ‘New Guinea’ and ‘Trinidad’. For my complexion we settled on ‘New Orleans’, a rich mocha color; there is an array of hues for all skin tones from the fairest to the deepest. You might want to give it a try. I’m going to!
Chicly Yours,
