Nordstrom Trend Show, Burberry New Lipsticks and GWP

This Saturday, September 15, is Nordstrom Bellevue's Fall Trend Show, and the Burberry Beauty counter will have three new lipsticks in a new matte formula.  They will also be offering two fabulous gifts with purchase!

The new formula is called Velvet, and offers a long-wearing matte finish that will still hydrate the lips.  There will be three shades available now, and 12 in total to follow. I am anxious to try these because I find Burberry's existing lipsticks quite hydrating ... while historically I have found matte lipsticks drying on my lips, I know that if anyone can make a hydrating matte, it's Burberry!

Here are the three shades available at the Trend Show - Military Red, Pink Apricot, and Pink Azalea:

Burberry Velvet lipstick - Military Red

Burberry Velvet lipstick - Pink Apricot

Burberry Velvet Lipstick - Pink Azalea

These shades look gorgeous, especially Military Red and Pink Azalea.  As I said, there will just be these three for now (in a limited quantity for the Trend Show - if you are interested, definitely pre-order), but more are coming soon.

Burberry will also have two gifts with purchase.  The first is available with a $150 purchase, and includes a full-size Pale Rose eye shadow:

The second is a 3-in-1 eye/lip/cheek cube, available with a $200 minimum purchase.  Unfortunately, the only available image is in black and white:

Angie from Bellevue's Burberry counter says that the color is a little darker than Cameo Pink (you can see Cameo Pink lipstick along with a few others at The Beauty Look Book here and at Cafe Makeup here) and can be applied anywhere on the face, but she particularly recommends the cheeks and lips.

Also - those eye palettes I wrote about in this post will be available in November, and Angie is currently accepting pre-orders for them.   I can't wait to see these palettes!

If you would like to place an order, call Angie at 425-455-5800 x1043, or email Angie.Streeter@nordstrom.com.  She is always very helpful, and she will ship your order for free! Tell her you found her info here at Pretty Addicted.*

Chanel Joues Contraste in Fleur de Lotus

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access for Cardholders is in full swing, and there are some great deals to be found.  Not to worry, if you are not a cardholder, you will be able to shop on July 20 when I am told there will be much stock replenishment.

Chanel is offering the Fleur de Lotus collection, an Asia exclusive earlier this year, as part of the Anniversary Sale.  It is available only at counters, not on the web.  I picked up the much-heralded Joues Contraste in Fleur de Lotus, and it does not disappoint.

Burberry Beauty Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Exclusives

During Nordstrom's upcoming Anniversary Sale (starts mid-July) Burberry Beauty will offer 1) a set of three lipglosses at a special price, and 2) a gift with $125 purchase.

The Lip Glow set includes Rosewood No.1 (mauve pink nude), Blush No.4 (warm pink), and Nude Beige No.9 (light peach beige) Lip Glow glosses, and is priced at $65.

Burberry Beauty - Lip Glow in Rosewood No.1

Burberry Beauty - Lip Glow in Blush No.4

Burberry Beauty - Lip Glow in Nude Beige No.9

Burberry's Lip Glow glosses are normally $27 each, so this set will save you $16.  The Lip Glow formula is sheer to semi-sheer depending on the shade, and is also moisturizing to the lips.  Be warned that if you are looking for lots of color these will not likely be for you.  Instead, these glosses provide polish, shine, and a hint of color.  They are among my favorites; they are excellent for daytime wear, and for evening over a lipstick or paired with a smokey eye.

The gift with $125 purchase will be a black Burberry Beauty cosmetics pouch (about the size of an iPad) containing a dual-sided magnifying mirror compact (in Burberry's signature gunmetal check packaging), a mini Lip Cover lipstick in Rosewood No.4, and a mini Burberry Body perfume (deluxe sample size; more than a regular sample).  No pics at this time but I will update when they are available.

You can pre-order the Lip Glow set (along with all your other Burberry Beauty needs so you can receive the GWP) by calling Angie at the Nordstrom Bellevue Burberry Beauty counter, 425-455-5800 x1043.  As always, she can ship your order to you free of charge once it is available.  Let her know you read about Burberry here at PrettyAddicted!

UPDATE: Check out the promotional images for the Lip Gloss Trio and the GWP at CafeMakeup!

UPDATE: I have photos, swatches and details about the trio and gift with purchase in this post!

Burberry Beauty Iconic Nude Collection Summer 2012 - Lip Mist Swatches

source

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)

Top to bottom: Nude Honey, Nude Peach, Field Rose, Pink Heather

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!
