While in Dallas for the past few days (more on that HERE and HERE), I managed to do a bit of shopping between meetings and appointments. Although I exercised substantial restraint, I did happen to indulge in a duo of key products for EYES and LIPS.
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the products in action as well as the Bottom Line…
Above: A swatch of the Burberry Glow shadow in Nude in direct sunlight…silky, pigmented and radiant in a single pass.
For EYES, I snapped up the last remaining Burberry Wet & Dry Glow Eyeshadow in 002 Nude (formula review + additional swatches of many shades HERE) in stock at the gorgeous Northpark Center Nordstrom. This radiant formula has a lovely netural taupe leaning that is buildable to nearly full opacity. For me, it was love at first swatch… I knew it would be easy to wear and am pleased with the crease-free lasting power of this luxurious, finely-milled powder. In the image below, I coupled it with the illustrious Surratt Beauty Relevee Mascara (reviewed HERE) for a clean, pared down look that is simultaneously casual and sophisticated. If you love neutrals and are looking to try a shade from this newly-reformulated spectrum of options from Burberry, I implore you to consider 002 Nude…I suspect you will not regret it.
For LIPS, I embraced the Tom Ford Summer ’15 Lipstick in Skinny Dip. The entire collection (swatched and to be revealed in a post later on this week) had just surfaced at Neiman Marcus at the Northpark Center and I couldn’t resist procuring this peachy wonder. Although it is a sheer formula, the pigmentation is immense, thereby yielding a pop of color that instantly brightens the face. I paired Skinny Dip with the pale, nude peach-meets-pink Marc Jacobs (P)Outliner in Honeybun (reviewed HERE and HERE) for an opaque, soft coral with tremendous luminosity and hydrating staying power. Of the four lip color options in the TF Summer ’15 collection, Skinny Dip is by far my favorite!

The following images reflect the products in action in indoor lighting (snapped before heading to the airport to return home)…
I just got that Nude and Rosewood! I watched the Burberry Beauty YT video on the "modern smoky eye" and my fate was sealed. Love at first swatch for me too!
Great FOTD. You look lovely.
I love this look on you! I just bought the shadow and I am so in love with it! I need to check out if I can still get the Skinny dip next time I'm travelling since I can't get either Burberry or TM in my country. I only just bought the Nude Vanille lipstick (love it also) as well as this shadow at the airport I was going through from while travelling home on business.I can't get enough of Burberry and TM now!:)

The eyeshadow is such a beauty! Love the color and coverage. It seems easy to wear and has a pretty packaging as well. Its a must try!
Indeed, Judy! It is perfect to wear as a single wash of color and the quality is sublime!
