Now that Burberry Beauty has officially launched at nordstrom.com, I can practically hear my lemming screaming at me – must get the Sheer Luminous Fluid Foundation and ‘Lip Cover’ Soft Satin Lipstick!

The line will also be available in stores at Nordstrom San Francisco Center (San Francisco, CA), Nordstrom Garden State Plaza (Paramus, NJ), Nordstrom Bellevue Square (Bellevue, WA), Nordstrom South Coast Plaza (Costa Mesa, CA) and Nordstrom Michigan Avenue (Chicago, IL) starting July 12th.

I will report back with swatches and reviews next week!

First Look At Upcoming Burbuerry Beauty Cosmetics Line!

Phyllis — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:32:02 +0000

Last year, I told you that a Burberry color cosmetics line will debut this summer and now we finally have a sneak peak of the range!

According to Chief Creative Director Christopher Bailey, the range consists of foundation, powder, bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, lip definer, lipstick and mascara – which are all heavily inspired by the brand’s iconic khaki trench coat.

“It started because I felt that, at shows and the shoots, the whole attitude is epitomized through the shoes, the bags, the clothes, the accessories, but then the face was the one thing I really struggled with. When we were doing makeup, I felt like we weren’t able to get the right attitude. It was either caked-on makeup or then just the wrong colors, the wrong tones, the wrong spirit for makeup. I wanted it to be this kind of effortless elegance. Like the trench coat, it can be worn anywhere and at any time.” said Bailey.

Burberry Beauty will be available July 2010 in Harrods in the UK, Nordstrom in the US, Holt Renfew in Canada and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong. Prices will range from US$24 for a lip liner to US$59 for a foundation.

I definitely like the sleek packaging (doesn’t it remind you of Lunasol?) and the fact that the products are etched with the signature check plaid design? Cuteeeeee! Can’t wait to see them in person!

Burberry To Launch First Color Cosmetics Line In July 2010

WWD has just reported Burberry‘s plan to join the long line of designer makeup!

Set to launch in July 2010, the first ever color cosmetics collection will be manufactured by Inter Parfums SA (who also does the Burberry fragrances). There will be roughly 100 products for skin, lips and eyes and the line will be carried in about 30 stores around the globe. Phillippe Benacin, chairman and managing director of Inter Parfums SA, says the new collection will “give another dimension to the brand.”

I can’t really call myself a Burberry fan but I am pretty excited to see how their makeup range would turn out. If the products are packaged with Burberry’s signature plaid pattern, I’m sure they will fly off the shelves!
