Introduction of Burberry beauty products & Swatches

Remember a while, I blogged opened the opening of Burberry Cosmetic counter in Isetan KLCC in late January. And those beauty friends who saw my message about this in facebook and twitter were so excited to know all about it ! Hehe, to be honest I am one of them too!

Anyway, last week I was one of the few lucky beauty bloggers to be invited to the attend the preview Burberry Beauty Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. Apart from playing with the colours, I also had a spring/summer makeover by their makeup artist and later took a photo shoot in their famous Burberry Trench Coat which was flown in all the way from London! Well I will blogged about this later !

Anyway this blog post will be an introduction of Burberry beauty products & swatches . More importantly will also share with you guys the the new colours launched for this Spring/Summer Collection.

The beauty counter!! Wish to transport this back to my home !!

The Burberry girl and her signature trench coat.

Burberry Beauty takes inspiration from the trench coat which is the heartbeat of Burberry, capturing its functionality, innovation, iconic style and the sentimental, protective connotations from the elements.

Burberry Cosmetics embodies all he unique emotions and personal qualities of our trench coats , it is a complete complement to Burberry girl's typical British style and individuality.

The colors will be more of warm colors that heighten natural glow and beauty. The texture will be breathable and lightweight feel on the skin.

The first impression when you see Burberry cosmetics packaging is you will have the WOW factor.. it looks pretty, luxurious and elegant looking! All their products come in their signature Burberry checkered patterns on their metallic casing. And one unique thing about their casing is , each product is custom designed with an innovative soft magnetic closure. And it's kinda fun to play with it !

Each eyeshadow/compact powder/blusher compact comes with it's own black velvet pouch which has signature Burberry plaid on the velvet in black. This was meant to give protection to the pretty & classy casing from being scratched!

Some of my favourite colors from Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow.

Like how the name suggested, indeed it is a little bit sheer but that is intended because Burberry believes in lightweight make-up that enhances natural skin tone. The texture is fine and pigmentation will show more for darker colors in the collection.

Did you see the surface of the Burberry's eyeshadow has pattern plaid pressed onto it. And their blusher/compact powder/loose powder has this too!

Review : L'oreal Double Extension Renewal Serum Mascara

L'oreal first introduced its double extension mascara (i.e Ultra-Lengthening Double Extension Mascara) back in 2003 which not only lengthens our lashes by 60% but strengthen them as well. Today L'oreal Paris reformulate it and introduced a mascara that gave waterproof, ultra-lengthening, double extension mascara that comes in carbon black color. It promises to give more than 70% more length and helps to re-energises lash renewal.

This mascara contains not only nourishing Pro-Vitamin B5, Pro-peptide, it also contains Arginine (helps in the healthy grow of hair and lashes) and Madecassoside (helps with the lifespan of our lashes) which promises to reduce lash loss.

One the left side, the cap that comes in gold color is base mascara that is enriched with the exclusive L'oreal Renewal Lash Serum made up of a high tech re-activating formula.

The serum base mascara comes in white color.

Note : Because it comes in white color, it cannot be wear it alone to go out unless you going to put on it and went to bed. And the white base mascara color disappeared immediately after I put on black mascara coating.

On the right hand side, the blue color cap of the mascara is the Ultra Lengtening mascara in Black.

The formulation that comes in cream-based waxes will give a smooth texture and easy application

The black mascara comes with fine fibers. It promises to give ultra-lengthening effects that lashes will appear 80% longer instantly and designed specially for sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearer. And this mascara has waterproof and smudge proof formula.

Let's get down with the picture - a more practical comparison

I applied 2-3 coat of the black mascara , after 1 layer of mascara base.I like the fact that the fiber mascara is fine and make my eyes looks natural. And best of all it did not flake or went into the eyes after whole day application.

Although the expensive Tsuya tsuya Angel Eyes mascara might give a better effect in term of lengthening with their fiber but it flakes and went into my eyes sometimes and cause irritation.

Result : I can see significant lengthening of my lashes and slight volumizing effect on my lashes

As the fiber on the mascara are lightweight, it holds up my curled eyelashes quite nicely.

Comparison picture : Right eyes I applied L'oreal Double Extension Renewal Serum Mascara

Looked at how long my lashes are being enhanced.

Like the slogan for this mascara advert says :

Don't limit your lashes !

This mascara fiber on my lashes are easily being removed with usual Biore Cleansing Oil-in-Cotton wipes compared to the Max Factor's Fake Lash Effect mascara which is a bit difficult to be removed.

I read that for better results, we should incorporate the Renewal Lash Serum into our daily routine. Use in the morning to protect lashes from external aggressions and at night to boost lash growth and regeneration. However I just started using this , so I am not sure if this serum mascara will help in boosting up lash growth. But what I see is that, the serum base mascara helps to holds my curled lashes properly and allow the black mascara on my lashes to last longer.

Pros : Significant lengthening effect, light weight and fine fibers that looks natural and easy to be removed with makeup remover, waterproof and smudge proof mascara.

Cons : Not much of volumizing effect (after all this is a ultra-lengthening mascara)

This L'oreal Double Extension Renewal Serum Mascara is available at all L’Oréal Paris cosmetic counters nationwide. The Double Extension Renewal Serum Mascara is priced at RM 49.90/each.
