My Burberry Beauty counter had testers of the new Lip Mist shades coming in their Iconic Nude Collection for summer. They are $30 each and will be added to Burberry's permanent line. They are:
- Pink Heather No. 210 (neutral-cool medium pink)
- Nude Honey No. 211 (nude beige)
- Nude Peach No. 212 (effectively, a nude peach)
- Field Rose No. 213 (warm rosey pink)

It's a little hard to tell in this pic, but Nude Peach and Field Rose do look different when applied. I would say they go on true to their descriptions above (as do the others). The formula is meant to be a sheer lipstick/gloss hybrid, so you won't get much in the way of opacity with these (EDIT: although they are more opaque than a lot of lip glosses IMO). They add noticeable color while still allowing your natural lip color to come through. I find that they glide on easily and add moisture to my lips.
I wanted to swatch the new
Sheer Summer Glow Palette ($50), but my SA Angie said the tester unfortunately had been stolen and it was the only palette they had. The Iconic Nude items are not yet in store; they will arrive next week. Angie told me the palettes are limited edition and they will only be getting a very small number of them (about 50). You can pre-order by calling Angie at the Nordstrom Bellevue Burberry counter at 425-455-5800 x1043. EDIT: I forgot to mention that Nordstrom will ship for free!
