You know how I feel about value sets, and this offering is no exception. Burberry's beauty line is luxurious in quality and scent, and the price point matches that level of luxury. So when I see a gem like this come around, I do not pass it by. This limited edition set includes four products (click on link for full size of each):
- Burberry Cat Lashes in Jet Black (0.11 oz)
- Burberry Kisses Lipstick in Russet (0.035 oz)
- Light Glow Natural Blush in Dark Earthy No.11 (0.09 oz)
- Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in Nude Radiance (0.17 oz)
This set, on the other hand, gives you .405 oz of product. At a price of $35. That's over 1/4 of the product at about 1/5 of the price, and for a sampling of multiple items from the line! Completely worth it. In addition, Burberry's blush has a faintly floral scent that is just divine, if you're into that sort of thing (I am).
Now on to the good stuff - pictures and swatches!
Burberry Light Glow Natural Blush in Dark Earthy No. 11 -
This blush is very neutral in tone, and reviews I've read mention that this is great for contouring. It doesn't have that warm orange tone that you want to avoid for contouring purposes - this is a light to medium brown shade with a hint of gray. Full disclosure, I've been using this as an eyeshadow and loving it for that purpose! This is perfect for a quick daytime eye - just put a bit in the crease and bam, defined eyes. |

Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in Nude Radiance and Cat Lashes Mascara in Jet Black -
I've actually purchased a full sized bottle of the Luminous Fluid Base before, and it is just lovely for prepping the skin for a dewy foundation look. This has a very subtle, healthy looking shimmer that blends right in to the skin without looking like a disco ball. When I use it, my skin looks extra moisturized. Love this, and the size that comes in the kit is perfect for travel!
The Cat Lashes mascara is a recent release, and from what I've seen it's getting rave reviews. When I used this, I noticed extreme lengthening of my lashes but not a ton of volume. The definition was perfect, however, and that seems to be more of what this mascara is aiming for. Easy, non-clumpy doe-eyed glamour can be found here! This will be going into my daily rotation.

Burberry Kisses Lipstick in Russet -
This shade is fall in a nutshell. It's photographing a little more on the true red side, but in reality it has a clearly visible warm undertone and comes across as a brownish-red. Makes me want to jump around in colorful piles of autumn leaves, possibly while wearing a plaid scarf. I didn't have anything like this in my stash - this shade is truly unique, but I believe it would be universally flattering!
Swatches:
The fluid base is difficult to photograph, but you can see the slight sheen it gives to the skin. We aren't looking for obvious sparkle here, so this is a good thing!

I'm wearing Dark Earthy on eyes, the Luminous Fluid Base dotted on cheekbones, and Russet on lips. First two pictures are in direct sunlight, third is in the shade.
 
I'm in love! I would classify this as a must-buy, if only for the fact that the quality is so dang good and it only comes around once a year.
You can purchase from Sephora here.
