These forthcoming Burberry Lip & Cheek Bloom products are really interesting. They’re made to a ‘bouncy’ formula, so feel a like a gel/mousse hybrid with a blur feel to them. They give a translucent matte finish that’s very much in keeping with the ‘English Rose’ concept of Burberry beauty using sheer and natural looks.

The two shades (of 6) I have here are Orange Blossom and Peony – my favourite is Peony – it’s a hot coral/pink hybrid that does a cheek pop. However, you do need to work with the texture. When I tested the Burberry Lip & Cheek Bloom products, I found that it can almost clot a little on the skin; the trick seems to be that you use very small amounts to smooth over with a brush or a fingertip and build up, rather than go for the full look immediately. Because it’s a slippy texture though, you can really work it to a seamless finish.

So, as you can see from the swatch, they’re touches of colour to enhance the tone. I didn’t like them on my lips though – but I’m not a matte lip fan personally. For those that love a matte lip, I think these are quite a discovery – all the sheerness of a translucent gloss but in a matte formula. I don’t think I’ve seen that before.
The pots, in case you wonder, are actually glass – I was so sure they were plastic so I tapped one against my tooth and feel lucky to still have that tooth! Definitely glass. The Burberry Lip & Cheek Bloom is £24 and launches in June.

As lovely as they are, I would rather eat my own earwax than buy anything from Burberry after the new US owners promised to keep the UK factories open and then promptly reneged…
I had no idea… thats terrible.
Lady Norwood that has put me right off purchasing ANYTHING Burberry!!
They look great! I love products that don’t apply too heavily so you can build them up as you wish.

These really remind me of the YSL Crème de Blushes that were discontinued when the brand introduced the Kiss & Blush line. I loved the Crème de Blushes, so I’m looking forward to seeing if these will fill that gap!
Loving the look & sound of these. That packaging is so sleek!
