Burberry sheer eye shadow in Pearl grey, Porcelain and Pearl blue

I told you I'd be buying more Burberry eye shadows and I'm not one who likes to disappoint, so here are three more.
I bought Pearl grey 17 (medium steel grey), Porcelain 03 (gently shimmered slightly peach cream) and Pearl blue 16 (baby blue with a touch of blue shimmer).
These aren't necessarily the most unique shades out there, however the quality of the product is worth it for me. They apply so smoothly,blend beautifully and last well. Judging by all the other Burberry reviews I have seen, the eye shadows definitely seem to be the most raved about items.
A comment had been left asking for the eye shadow ingredients but since deleted by the author, I'd thought I post them just incase you are still interested! Sorry for the slightly messy box but I had to get it out of the recycling!
I bought these from Harrods, they cost £22 each.

  2. I like the sound of the Burberry mu, but have yet to go see this in real life. I think I will have to make a trip to Harrods soon. Are they as good quality as RBR e/s?

  6. oh I was the one who asked about the ingredients but thought I should directly ask Burberry's customer service instead of bothering you so I deleted the comment~~

  8. Hi Kristie,
    I'm sure I'll end up with more, wanted to say thanks for all your amazing Burberry swatches, really helpful!

    Hello Meeta,
    Compared to RBR, I'd say the RBR are more creamy in texture and have more unique/complex shades but the Burberry ones are so smooth, I think its worth you trying them if you can :)

    Hi jv,
    We will probably end up with all of them at this rate,good thing they don't have that many shades ;)

    Hi Whitney,
    I'll look forward to reading about your haul.

    Hi Nina,
    I hope you have a lovely holiday and its not too hot! Who knows how much more makeup I'll have acquired in the time your gone!
    I'll try and do an EOTD with the pearl blue for you x

    Hi Bobo,
    Glad to help, I emailed the Burberry site as well for ingredients of the blush and powder foundation and have got nothing back, not very good service.
