Just to share: Burberry Makeup Russet Natural Blush 01

December 22, 2010 Paris B 29 Comments

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!

She even allowed me to photograph it so I could share the pictures (and thrill) with you 😀

Rumours Say … Burberry Cosmetics coming to Malaysia

When I posted previously that Burberry’s had made their foray into cosmetics, little did I know that we in Malaysia would very soon have a taste of Burberry Makeup!

At least I hope so if the rumours are to be believed. 😀

Couture to Cosmetics – Burberry to launch Burberry Makeup

April 26, 2010 Paris B 11 Comments

Miss Emma Watson made it hip to wear Burberry again. For me, Burberry has always held an image of understated English luxury, seeming more focused on clothes which are reasonably casual, practical and comfortable as opposed to haute couture. Mention Burberry and the first thing that pops into my mind would be the iconic beige trench coat with checked lining and the checked wool scarves. Other than that, I never quite thought of Burberry as haute couture runway material.

Well, haute couture or not, like Yves St. Laurent, Dior, Chanel and Giorgio Armani, Burberry is hoping to make their name in department stores cosmetics too. Its not hard to see why. Cosmetics, no matter how high end, is more affordable than fashion items and thus appeals to a larger section of the public and gets your name out there to the masses.

I might never be able to afford a classic Chanel tweed suit or the flap bag, but a RM95 Chanel lipstick is not beyond my reach. So, whilst a new Burberry trench coat or cashmere wool scarf might be too much luxury (and stupidity) in this sweltering weather, a new Burberry Beauty face powder or lipstick will allow me to own a bit of British luxury without looking too stupid.
