Right now I’m really loving the Burberry Beauty Complete Eye Palette Quads. I’ve tested three so far … eventually I think I will need one of each shade. (They are really that good.) What I’m loving even more is what beauty bloggers have done for those of us who don’t have easy access to those hard-to-find brands. Burberry Beauty still has limited availability in the US in terms of being at your nearest counter to try-before-you-buy. I love that so many dedicated bloggers have taken the time to photograph and swatch the palettes (in many cases all the palettes!). Detailed reviews to come soon on The Beauty Look Book, but for now a few blogs that helped me decide which ones to order below. Thank you ladies for saving me a long drive to the nearest counter:
- Diabolous in Cosmetica – all palettes photographed
- Front Row Beauty – No. 02 Mocha and No. 06 Plum Pink featured
- Indigo-Kir-Royale – No. 01 Smokey Grey, No. 02 Mocha, No. 05 Dark Spice, No.06 Plum Pink and No. 07 Pink Taupe swatched
- Kais Obsessions – all 6 quads swatched
- Messy Wands – all 6 quads swatched
- Weekend Ramblings – all 6 quads swatched
