Proseasy to blend, smudgable, long-lasting, versatile, worth it!
For reference: I am medium skin tone with oily skin type. I am in the color Trench No. 07 in their Sheer Luminous Compact Foundation so the shades I chose suit my neutral taste for an everyday simple look. I am a bit finicky when it comes to single eye shadows only because it is not travel-friendly. But when you try these on, you would not want to travel without these eye shadows.
The first color I owned was Almond and wanted to try more of their eye shadows. I got an entire makeover at my local Nordstrom counter at a Burberry Beauty event. The Sales Association applied four shadows on me, Trench, Pale Barely, Taupe Brown, and Midnight Brown. I went home with all except for Midnight Brown, which is an extremely beautiful color, but I felt I had to refrain purchasing as I have a few shades in my collection similar. The next day, I applied all four colors without an eye primer and am extremely impressed.
For eight straight hours I did not encounter any creasing, which is an issue that I come across quite often with eye shadows especially having oily lids. The formulation is incredibly smooth and easy to blend. What I love most about these shadows is that they are pigmented, but not obnoxious that if over applied it's difficult to blend out. These shadows go from sheer for a neutral look to opaque should you want a more intense look without looking too over done. I think that adds to the classiness of the Burberry Beauty line.
I use Taupe Brown as an all-over color for a soft smokey look, as a liner (upper and lower), and as my eye brow filler. I love that it is versatile. Trench is gorgeous as a base color and as a highlighter. I use Pale Barely as a lower lid shade and an inner corner highlighter, which I feel it makes my brown eyes stand out more. Almond is great as a single lower lid shade or as a blending shade to soften out deeper colors like Taupe Brown. I am blown away by the formulation, I am definitely going back for Midnight Brown and buying more shades.
Like all of the Burberry Beauty products, they have a rose, fruit smell that is quite pleasant. It lingers longer than most scented make up products, but I don't mind it at all. It's packaged in a beautiful compact with a magnetic closure and comes with its own check pattern velvet-like pouch, which makes traveling luxurious. It especially comes in handy so that your Burberry compacts don't collide and scuff.
The only thing I would suggest Nordstrom include in the description of these shadows is to state the finishes (i.e. matte, shimmer, or satin finished). I know not all Nordstroms carry the Burberry Beauty line, so I think it'll help those shopping online choose a color. My final say, if you have oily lids, I definitely recommend this product.

Proscreamy, light
Ordered the shadow in Gold Trench and was pleasantly surprised at what a great color it is. It was just the right earthy tone I like to wear. The consistency is light and creamy, just as advertised. Great product! Will be ordering more shades.
