Review: Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow No.09 Rosewood

After purchasing my first ever Burberry product, I couldn't help but go back and see what else Burberry cosmetics has to offer..

They didn't have any samples of their foundations so I couldn't try those.. But I was really impressed by the colour selection of their eye shadows.. Very pretty shades.. And in the end, after much swatching and blending, I settled for No.09 Rosewood..


Product

- Velvety and smooth texture
- Applies sheerly but is surely buildable
- Has a beautiful sheen finish
- Non-glittery

Swatches

Burberry Rosewood is a metallic violet/lilac shade and blended out it gives a beautiful subtle sheen with a hint of colour..

MAC Satin Taupe is has more brown to it..


My Final Thoughts: The more I try out Burberry products, the more I'm impressed.. Love this shade.. Such a beautiful soft colour that looks amazing with a winged eyeliner.. This will definitely not be the last Burberry eye shadow I purchase..


Have you tried any Burberry Cosmetics?

Rosewood was one of my first eyeshadows from them as well. They're buttery smooth and oh so chic. I love Rosewood!

I'm in the same boat as JC. I've just started dipping into MAC and NARS but Chanels, Diors, Armanis and Burberry keep calling my name! This is a really beautiful color.

@Eden-Avalon - They're really worth every penny.. When it comes to high-end eye shadows, I'd go for Dior..
