Burberry Spring 2013 Swatches


These are iPhone pictures! But swatches! So apologies (again) for the blurriness of my guerrilla swatching post, but I've been repeatedly told that you guys would rather see something than nothing. Here are the blushes and lip glosses of Burberry Spring 2013.


L-R: No. 19 Mallow Pink, No. 20 Sweet Tea Pink, No. 21 Fondant Pink, No. 22 Coral


L-R: No. 09 Coral Pink, No. 10 Hydrangea Pink

Basically, various shades of pink, but not of the marshmallow and cotton candy variety (which in my book is a fantastic thing). I tried on Mallow Pink (see it in action on Getting Cheeky) and Sweet Tea Pink and they make my heart flutter, and I haven't felt that way about pinks in a long time.

The lip glosses retail for $27, while the blushes go for $42. I swatched the above at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, but the collection is also available at Nordstrom.

  5. You know, I was telling myself that there was nothing I really wanted from these emerging spring collections, but now I have a sudden urge to raid my nearest Burberry counter. I love those glosses, especially #19 & #20, and those blushes are beautiful!

  9. I'm really tempted to get at least 1 gloss from this collection, but I really shouldn't. I really need to start finish up my whole drawer of glosses that I'll probably never finish.

    1. edit: went to Nordstrom's. Returned two things which gave me budget to buy both blushes, two glosses, and the Velvet foundation. I'm hopeless.

  11. I love3x the blush colors, but did you compare them to the existing shades (like Blossom v.s. Coral)? Nice work, Xiao!

    1. Blossom is a *lot* more orange than Coral, like on my arm when I swatch them Blossom pulls pure orange and Coral pulls pink. HTH!

  12. A lot of people said the blushes are really similar but I can totally see the difference on the back of your hand. Are you picking up one of the blushes? I know you said previously you love Burberry blushes ^^

  14. These are so pretty, I don't know how Burberry manages to do it every time. I never even buy gloss anymore, and I want all four shades!
