The texture really is delightfully smooth, they don't feel dry at all and I don't get fall out. They apply and blend with nothing to fault. They have great pigment and last quite well.
Barley (£22.50) is a shimmered golden wheat shade,
Midnight brown (£22.50) is a shimmered brown without a warm unflattering tone. Though it has noticeable silver particles in the pan, it applies with complete smoothness.
Though these are probably the most shimmered shades I have from Burberry, I don't feel its over the top or ageing. These shades have gone straight to being must haves for me.

I bought these from johnlewis.com

ReplyDeleteThanks Flyavsted :) They would be great additions to your collection.
DeleteA lovely pair! And you feature is beautifully too!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy,
DeleteThanks :) They do work well together.
Great buys, they look lovely on you. That reminds me to give these two some love ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacqueline, they are nice shades to just throw on when I'm in a rush :)
DeleteI have been wanting these two for so long. I need need need them! So happy to hear you are happy with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Perilously Pale,
DeleteI think you might well need then, I bet you could do a lovely smokey look with the midnight brown x
Great look! I also love Burberry eyeshadows. The texture is simply divine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristie :) They do have a lovely formula don't they, they don't always seem to get much attention but they really are a brand worth trying.
DeleteThese are simply stunning, and they look gorgeous on you!!! You are a temptress! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lola ;) well I do think you will really like the Burberry texture x
DeleteThese eyeshadow looks lovely on you :) How I wish Burberry would release a palette eyeshadow..
ReplyDeleteHi memoiselle,
DeleteThanks :) I'm sure I read last year they were meant to be bringing out shadow palettes, hopefully it will happen soon.
These look beautiful on you! Very tempting indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace ;) I really can see you in midnight brown x
DeleteThese colours look lovely on you. It's interesting that Midnight Brown has such visible shimmer particles in the pan. They look quite sizeable.
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at Burberry on John Lewis (Harrods p&p always put me off), I look at the lipsticks and blusher but I know what I really want is a couple of eyeshadows. Only one more month of ban to go :D xx
Hi Jane,
DeleteI was worried by the shimmer in MB when I looked at it,so was very surprised by the smoothness,the shimmer just seems to become uniform once applied, kinda odd really.
I was really glad that John Lewis started stocking it as I really try to avoid p&p as well. I think you might well have to get one Burberry shadow once your ban is over (I hope you have been stockpiling some money for when the ban is lifted you must have a huge list), I'd say rosewood or midnight brown xx
I've been wanting Midnight Brown for a while and you haven't helped the cause! Those look beautiful on you.
ReplyDeleteLOL Marcia, I think it would fit in nicely with your collection, glad you like the look :)
ReplyDeleteThese shades look great on you! I have Midnight Brown and would love to try out Barley as well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Makeup Magpie :) Well it would be wrong for you not to add Barley to your collection ;)
ReplyDeleteThose shades look absolutely lovely on you! Of course, you have some of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, so you could probably smear them with mud and they'd look great. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for reviewing these, and especially for the picture of them applied on your eyes. I've wanted to try Burberry for some time now, but I don't have a counter in my area and hate to buy online based on swatches. You really have me wanting these shades now!!
Thank you Shannon, what a lovely thing to say, that really cheered me up :) I did laught about the mud though, that would be somewhat of an out there look ;)
ReplyDeleteI do thing Burberry shadows are worth trying and I think these two shades are safe options to order site unseen x
Those two and Rosewood are definitely on my list!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I love the eye look you did as well! :)
xx
Thanks Tina ;) Rosewood is one of my favourites as well so all three are list worthy :)
ReplyDeleteHi Replica! Thanks for the lovely swatches!
ReplyDeleteWhat are your thoughts on Burberry v Hourglass eyeshadows? Which one do you prefer?
:)
Thanks Naomi :) As to which I prefer thats a tricky one, Hourglass win on the pigment but Burberry are more silky in texture, I'm not sure I can choose ;)
