Burberry Bloomsbury Girls Polishes {Oxblood & Elderberry}


I am addicted to nail polish and in particular I am addicted to buying shades of red.  Any variation of red and I am in.  So naturally when I saw these two shades, Oxblood and Elderberry ($22), where part of Burberry's Bloomsbury Girls collection I had to have them.  Oxblood is a gorgeous deep burgundy, red shade.  Elderberry is a reddish plum, almost looks black shade.  It reminds me of a glass of wine.  These polishes are very creamy and pigmented.  They are opaque in two coats.  The wear time on these is a bit shorter then my beloved Dior polishes.  I can get about three days or so before some chipping begins.  But, these polishes are so pretty that I'll forgive them for that.

Burberry Bloomsbury Girls Palette {Nude Blush}

Burberry Nude Blush palette

Burberry recently came out with a new collection called Bloomsbury Girl for Autumn/Winter '14.  It consisted of six polishes, two palettes, three lipsticks, and three glosses.  I picked up the palette called Nude blush and two polishes, Oxblood and Elderberry.  Today we discuss how gorgeous Nude Blush is.

Nude Blush ($60) is a beautiful rosy toned quad.  I tend to gravitate towards rose gold and plumy colors like these.  I feel like they pair well with my light skin and blue eyes.  I own a few of Burberry's single shadows and I absolutely love them so, I decided to take the plunge and get a quad. I am so happy I did.  These shadows are very pigmented and so creamy.  They are easy to work with and just a little bit of kick up but, no fall out.  They perform just as well as the single shadows.  The colors also pair together very nicely and are not to similar to the singles I already own.

Right now the palette seems to be sold out on Burberry.com but Nordstrom and Saks have it in stock. And you can always check your local counter.



Have you tried Burberry eyeshadows yet ??  What do you think ??
