Do we have swatches of Burberry Silk and Bloom Blush Palette and new Camelia de Chanel somewhere? If not... Does anyone have them? Preferably on fair skin, but I'll take anything. 😛

Here is Burberry Silk and Bloom blush compared to the balm Cabana Boy and Urban Decay Rapture. In comparison it has more of a berry plum undertone, but it is really very sheer. This is two finger swipes. When sheared out, to me, it looses that color but retains a cool pink sheen. I think mileage may vary a lot for this, but on my pale skin I like it so far. Top to bottom, Burberry, balm, UD. @lyravega

@lipstick4soul , @Mochapj , @lachaton thank you, ladies!

These look pretty! Blush looks plummier than I expected it to be, though. I'd prefer "just pink", but oh well... It's still very pretty.

Yes, please do share swatches whenever you get your goodies, and feel like swatching. 🙂 That would be great!

If you want pink, Burberry probably won't work @lyravega It is the plum that I think makes it unusual and beautiful, though. It is a bit unexpected. This is with a brush but not blended

A very pretty colour, but also looks a shade too light to suit me.  Bummer.

Online pictures of the product itself made it look like a deep pink/plum.  But swatches since then have looked much lighter.

[lipstick4soul]

I think the sheer element makes it look lighter. I think it is a good blush for fair skin and maybe only a blush topper for medium tones. It would be a lovely highlighter on the right dark tone. For the price, it has a really narrow audience. 

[lyravega]

Thank you so much, @lipstick4soul ! It's very pretty! But, this is what my natural flush looks like ( pinky-plum ( but, my flush is bit brighter ) ). I think that's "the problem" here. I prefer pink because added to my natural flush it just does something to my face that I really love. For some reason, I don't really like blushes that look like my natural flush. ( Maybe because I am so fair, and flush easily, so I had enough of it? 😄 ) Nevertheless, this a very pretty shade! Just not for me.

[lipstick4soul]

I totally get that. 😄

for anyone else that might be interested the finish is gorgeous- slightly metallic and sheer and super finely milled but still understated.

My Burberry isn't here yet but I can post once it shows up! Probably Monday

[greenchilli]

@lachaton @Mochapj

This blush looks gorgeous, and all the pictures look like it would suit medium-deep skintones.  But reviews and swatches say otherwise.

Isadora was a pleasant surprise for me.  So if you have a comparison, I would love to see it.  Por favor.

[Mochapj]

I actually think it looks somewhat similar to the Nars x SM isadora blush.

would love to see a comparison of the 2 if anyone has both 😊

[lachaton]

@greenchilli @Mochapj I do have Isadora! I will try to post a comparison once I have the Burberry

[Mochapj]

@lyravega Not mine, but hopefully pale enough for you 😊

[lipstick4soul]

Someone on the Burberry thread (sorry don't remember who) posted that nonblonde has swatches of the Burberry. She is medium toned. I thought her description was spot on. I have it can vouch that it is gorgeous for fair skin (I am neutral to cool) and noticebly plum and not just pink. I will try and take pictures tomorrow. My camellia is due Monday but hopefully someone else has it.

@Kim888 Gorgeous lip shades. 

[sprocketta]

@Kim888 what is the formula/finish of these? I was disappointed the line didn't have any bullet lipsticks.

[itsfi]

Beautiful @Kim888!

[Ispend2much6]

@Kim888   That was a great purchase, as all of the shades do look good on you!
