The *Burberry Lip & Cheek Blooms(also available at Burberry) have arrived and I am delighted to offer a focused glimpse of three stunning shades (there are six in total) in this divine formula! Bouncy, blendable and endlessly versatile, these gorgeous gems are summertime incarnate.
Above: Glass jars, plaid tops and playful colors…so marvelous.
As the name implies, Burberry Lip & Cheek Bloom is a convertable and customizable color, designed to be worn on both the cheeks and the lips. After experimenting with them for a couple of days, here are my initial findings:
The formula is bouncy, silky, slightly mousse-like and inordinately whisper light, thereby blending into the skin seamlessly for a “flush from within” effect
They are tremendously buildable…at the start, they apply sheer for a gossamer veil of color but they can be built up to significant intensity while still looking transparent and extremely natural
They contain absolutely no shimmer and leave a soft matte (though somehow luminous) finish on the skin; the velvet texture adds a subtle hydration to the canvas and, consequently, works well with all skin types
Fantastic for individuals at all stages of their “makeup game,” their sheerness allows them to be mistake-proof enough for beginners and the buildable texture makes them potent enough for beauty pros
The lasting power is marvelous…I got 4-5 hours of touch-up free wear, even in heat and direct sunlight
All in all, the Burberry Lip & Cheek Blooms are a spring and summer beauty MUST!

Bottom Line: The Burberry Lip & Cheek Blooms (also available at Burberry) are brilliantly-executed! From the sleek glass jar with iconic plaid lid to the velvety, buildable, color-drenched contents within, these delicate beauties are bound to be a hit with Burberry lovers and blush aficionados alike. I am wildly impressed with the rose petal soft feel and finish and implore you to take a peek at this formula…it’s an absolutely quintessential pairing with the spring and summer seasons!
Good things ahead, including a foundation intensive, my latest article for the Neiman Marcus blog and new product procurments!
Hope your week is going well…xx,

I already had Poppy on order & your swatches beckoned me to order tulip too!! Ack so pretty!! Hope it looks as good on me☺️ Thank you for the swatches!! xo
Good to hear these are good 🙂 I have Peony in my cart and I was wondering if I should get it or not cause I couldn't find any swatches online. The shades that you got are all beautiful and something that I would wear.
Wow… the Lip & Cheek Blooms look so pigmented! I'm glad Burberry chose to make a product so pigmented in a blendable cream form, and the lengthy staying power you mentioned definitely piqued my interest. I don't often buy cheek products apart from contour because I rarely find products that offer vivid pigmentation, blendability, and longevity for a "fresh flush"- rather than "drunk clown"- look. (Regarding the latter, in reality I'm less "Tequila" and more "Mockingbird" on a daily basis. :p )
They are pigmented but buildable so you can control the effect…so good! I love your "drunk clown" description…totally feel that way when blush gets crazy ; )
I am loving the Pale Grape liner with the Nude shadow! I have been using purple liners a lot this spring. The blushes are gorgeous. And you look fabulous as always 🙂
Texturally, these feel very different than the By Terry….the Burberry is bouncy and bit mousse like and the By Terry feels more like a cream-meets-gel! Thanks for the kind words!
