So the rumours fly thick and fast and are in fact confirmed that Burberry Makeup is appearing on our Malaysian shores in January 2011. That’s just about a week away! Personally I know nothing about its launch or where it’ll be available or its price point.
But I had the providence to meet the very lovely and friendly Emma, Editor of Jelita magazine (a local Malay women’s magazine) at a lunch, and we got to talking beauty. Naturally 😛 And we were talking about this and that and then the subject of Burberry Makeup came up. And she told me of her favourite blush from the brand and… Hallelujah! Pulled it out of her bag!
*cue Angel song and twinkly stars*
She even allowed me to photograph it so I could share the pictures (and thrill) with you 😀
Her colour is Russet 01 which looks like a neutral browned-peach blush. It has shimmer and twinkled under the lights, which surprised me. I wasn’t expecting that.
I did not swatch it of course. You don’t go round swiping other people’s makeup… much as your fingers itch to 😛 I did think however that Russet would look much better on someone with medium skintone. On my skin, I think it’d turn out looking a bit muddy. I would be eyeing the pink one (Peony) instead.
She did tell me that the price point will be quite high, seeing as its Burberry and all and will live up to its luxury brand image. We should be expecting Chanel and Dior prices but she could not recall off hand the price of the blush. (Update: It will retail at RM140. That’s the same price as a Chanel Joues Contraste blush. I wonder if the quality will be as good as Chanel)
So there you have it! A quick preview of what we can expect from Burberry Makeup once its available here in Malaysia 🙂
Are we excited to see a new brand in the luxury makeup scene? 🙂
Paris B
Burberry Light Glow Natural Blush will retail at RM140 each and comes in 6 shades. Burberry Makeup will be available at Isetan KLCC from Jan 27, 2011
It looks so pretty with a big RM sign on it….but it’s pretty!!! can’t wait january to grab one myself ;p
Yup! Can you just see all the RM signs all over it? hehe… 😉 I can’t wait to check out the other colours too!
I’m waiting for the lippies!! ^.^ Saw them on Temptalia and I’m sooo in love!
Haha I’m awaiting the lippies too 🙂 I wonder where we’ll find the brand though. I hope its somewhere accessible to me 😛
Oh, finally it’s coming, I read about Burberry cosmetics in one of the local magazine back in September with price in RM, so I thought it’s already available and I searched high and low everywhere but couldn’t locate it!! Can’t wait to see it ~~
Yep I think the mags got the scoop earlier this year 🙂 The rest of us mortals have to wait and guess where/when we’ll see it 😀
now this is exciting! haha but i wonder where would we be able to see it?
Your guess is as good as mine!
Very excited, just saw the range off Female mag January issue today!
Whee! 😀
I’ve heard a lot about the foundations so i’m keen on checking them out! Love the design of the packaging
Let’s hope it won’t be Giorgio Armani all over again 😛 i’m actually quite keen to see most of the range 🙂
Hi girls! It’s so lovely to read this. For all you Burberry fans, Burberry Beauty will be available from Jan 27th onwards in Isetan KLCC. Let’s all go mad on checks!
Lovely.. Thanks for the review. Will look out for it!
I hear the lippies are even better so I guess we’ll wait and see 🙂
I don’t like anything Burberry, but their makeup line is intriguing.. Imagine if LV brought out a makeup line! 😀
Other than the classic trenchcoat I’m not into Burberry fashion (or bags) either! But LV does own makeup jn a way. Dior and Make Up For Ever (I think) are under the LVMH umbrella. 😉 That said I hope LV NEVER comes up with a cosmetics line!
Yeah LVMH own those brands (and Benefit :)), but they don’t have LV imprint stamped everywhere! :p Oh man.. just thinking about a pink lippy in a cute murakami packaging gives me goosebumps 😀
Oh yeah and Benefit too! I’d rather they don’t have anything LV *shudder* I can just imagine China awash with fakes *shudder*
owh~ how i wish i am a rich student to buy that…hahaha~
“Rich student” is a bit of an oxymoron LOL! 😉 Save up for it. Its permanent anyway
This is a collector’s item!
I wouldn’t call it that. Its pretty but not limited edition so definitely useable 🙂
I’m going to kill myself for not showing you the one I bought in HK 🙁 I got the Peony and it works well on my skintone and I reckon it would work on yours too. Don’t remember how much it was cos it was a giddy makeup shopping spree in HK 😛 The brush is surprisingly good. not your regular dinky ones. Colour payoff is good. Not too pigmented but not too weak either. Peony is a flat out pink with no shimmer but works well one cooler tones.
YOU WHAT?! Now you tell! I’d have happily swiped yours hehe… I’m glad to hear that its a nice shade on. I’m really eyeing Peony so will probably check it out when it comes out here 😀 I work well with cool tones 😀
Burberry Makeup will be opening it’s first counter in Isetan KLCC in january.
the lipsticks are amazing! creamy and moisturizing and pigmented. the mascara and foundation are great too!
Gah! Don’t tell me things like this 🙁
Omigosh! I am also eyeing on Peony! 😀
Can’t wait to see it in person 😀
