Wild Roses Couldn’t Keep Me Away from the New Burberry Beauty Lip Mists

May 18th, 2011 by Karen 82 Comments

burberry lip mist review

Burberry Beauty is making a move on the must-have category with a line of $30 luxury lipsticks that look almost like bargains in spite of the price.

As soon as I saw Burberry Beauty’s Lip Mists, I wondered if I was witnessing a case of corporate espionage aimed at Chanel. These nine shiny, hydrating lippies share more than a few characteristics in common with the Chanel Rouge Coco Shines ($32).

First, there’s the finish, which has a similar subtle shine — a dewy, creamy sheen that pairs perfectly with a summertime tan. The colors themselves are rich, lightweight, long-lasting and loaded with pigment, and like the Shines don’t look heavy like a matte. Both of these lippies tread a lovely line somewhere between slightly sheer and fully opaque, but Burberry bests Chanel here in a few key areas.

Like wear time. The Lip Mists outlast the Coco Shines by a good, long while, and I wager they contain a little more color. Being slightly thicker than, yet not as slick as, the Coco Shines probably helps them last.

I like these so much that Wild roses couldn’t keep me away. Wild rose extract, which these contain, supposedly increases the amount of moisture they deliver to lips. Burberry also claims the extract stimulates the production of collagen, but I’m not too sure about that.

Yesterday I applied two layers of Feather Pink after lunch. Five hours and two cups of tea later, it was still going strong — and that’s without a layer of lip pencil underneath.

Heads up for the ladies with a great sense of smell: these have a potent taste and scent, like a mix of roses, Sweet Tarts and mint tea. The scent, which lingers for about an hour, probably sounds weird, but I think it works.

If you prefer conservative lip looks, these just might rock your world. The limited color palette sticks to nine safe neutrals, pinks and berries (nothing too crazy here), but then again, this is Burberry, aka the folks who perfected the timeless trench coat.

Even though the makeup line is still relatively new, from what I’ve seen so far, Burberry Beauty doesn’t seem to be chasing cutting-edge color lines like MAC. And that’s fine by me. Glittery neon orange lips have their time and place, but if you’re looking for a moisturizing, pigmented, long-wearing luxury lipstick that just plain works, you can’t do much better than this.

PRICE: $30
AVAILABILITY: Available now at select Nordstrom stores and also online
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A- (Love everything about ’em but the price)

Tabs has a new nickname…

I think the rain this week pushed Tabs past his usual limits of crazy because yesterday, for the first time ever, he swiped at my face. 🙁 We were playing around his cat tower when he reached out and swatted my cheek, leaving a tiny scratch along my jawline.

We’ve been friends for what, five years now? — and he’s never resorted to anything like this. I feel oddly betrayed (I know! So cat lady!). El Hub thinks he just got too excited and couldn’t contain himself, which is probably the case, but still. That husky tabby is totally on my sh*t list today.

His behavior also earned him a new nickname: Edward Scissorpaws.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Y’know, I used to trim my kittehs’ claws… not the whole thing, but just snip off the very tips so they weren’t so razor-sharp! They could still climb and everything, but casual damage was reduced!

    Aww, I’m sure El Hub is right, and Tabs’ interlude as Edward Scissorpaws will soon be a thing of the past! Speaking of such things, have you seen that new show on Animal Planet called “My Cat from Hell?” It’s about a cat behavioralist (with really strange facial hair) who helps retrain misbehaving cats and kitty parents. I saw the first episode, and it was fun! I tried to use the guy’s tips to help me with Gizmo, but she ran away when I came to pet her, lol. Oh well, she’s still making progress, slowly but surely.

    Also, I have to thank you for the title of this. I’m now listening to the Rolling Stones’ album Sticky Fingers while catching up on the MBB posts I have yet to read! 🙂

      Do you ever watch Cats 101? That’s Tabs’ favorite show. He’ll actually sit in front of the TV and watch it. Sometimes he even tries to get the kitties on screen, LOL!

      Give Gizmo and Tigger hugs for me. 🙂

        AWWW, that’s so cute! I’ve seen an episode or two, but not when the kitties are there. They might like it! I once had a cat who watched a documentary on lions with me, and when it ended, he looked behind the TV to try to find them. It was absolutely adorable, but he looked so sad when he couldn’t find them! Poor boy.

        I will give them kitty hugs! And Giz let me pet her for twenty minutes yesterday (well, in total — it was in a few increments). Before this, I could only get in a minute or so before she ran away. I am so happy! I was afraid we’d have to call up someone like the guy from the show to give her cat therapy, lol.

      How many kitties do you have?

        May 19th, 2011 at 7:17 pm

        Three! I’m made them learn that it’s okay for me to touch their paws and brush them. I start off with a gentle stroke of the paw when they’re asleep, to more touching when they’re relaxed with kitty treats right afterwards, to letting me touch their claws, to actually clipping their claws. You have to start when they’re relaxed (starting to think about dozing off to sleep), go really slow, and give them lots of kitty treats as reinforcement. One of my cats still really hates it – i have to do one paw at a time – but i insist on being “top cat” in the house. =)

    Very nice, though I wonder why they decided to call them mists. I guess it’s moisture related. As luck would have it, I had just put that Burberry trench out of my mind. Sigh. 🙂

    I’m sorry about Tabs – it was probably a case of over-excitement paired with the crazies from the weather (and maybe going after a strand of your hair?). All of our gals are declawed, so scratching is not an issue, thankfully. And I do know that a lot of cat owners are very against that but, it’s a compromise that’s worked out for us. I’m in no way suggesting that you declaw Tabs for a scratch, btw!

        No, I don’t notice any change (but they don’t go out so they don’t really know what they’re missing). They usually wind each other up or go nuts for a fly inside – or for birds outside the window. I get crabby because of the rain, though. So I can relate to Tabs’ mood! 🙂

    Tabs probably was too excited. Sometimes my cat gets too excited when we play and does sort of goofy things, like hissing and front flips off the couch. She’s pawed me in the face before, but only with nails tucked since she was being playful. I’m sure tabs didn’t mean to hurt you!

    Ooouu…I may have to try these! I love Shines but they really don’t last long at all, sadly.

    As long as Tabs isn’t an outdoor cat, you could try trimming the tips of his claws. My two year old kitty is very playful and likes “hugging” my leg and playing tag; cute, but painful when his claws aren’t clipped! He usually keeps his claws retracted when he feels bare skin but sometimes I think he gets excited and forgets.

    If you do trim them just make sure to looks at the claws in the light and only clip the clear part (not the pink area).

    Those lipsticks look fab, btw!

    HUGE fan of Burberry cosmetics – I will need to peep this in person. You got my attention when you mentioned these outlast the RC Coco Shines and is $2 less. Not a whole lot less but I’ll take what I can get!!

    These sound perfect! I’ve been so frustrated with the quick and uneven wearing off of all my Rouge Coco Shines. I wish Neiman Marcus carried these so I had an easy way to order these to Canada 🙁 I would love to try more from Burberry!

    Aww, Karen, please forgive Tabs for his over exuberant play. I think El Hub is right…Tabs got too excited, and had no intention of hurting you. Sometimes, playing to them is not the same thing as our idea of playing. Even good kitties make mistakes, sometimes.

    Karen – do you cut his nails? They are long.

    Feather Pink looks great on you! I might have to check these out since I found Chanel Rouge Coco Shines a bit too sheer and doesn’t last very long.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
