I bought #25 Nude Rose. The color is deeper than the online swatch. I had hoped for a shade lighter with more pink. Even though it wasn't the color I expected, I bought a second tube because I like to carry one with me and have one at home too. The feel is smooth and moisturizing without feeling or looking greasy. It wears well for several hours, the color stays true, and doesn't leave your lips feeling dry when it does wear off a little. The aesthetics are awesome -- the Burberry plaid embossing on the lipstick itself is really nice.. The square shaped case is a little bulky to fit in a small cosmetic bag, but it looks pretty cool when you take it out to apply. The magnetic closure is fun, and the gunmetal case is good quality. I wish the Burberry line were available at my Nordstrom store so I could try other colors and products.
I can't believe I actually waited for a year to finally try Burberry's color collection. Stopped by Nordstrom yesterday and got Rosewood for its rave review. It is a woodsy rose leaning towards more on the brown side. Put it on this morning and instantly fell in love with the color! The color is sophisticated and eathy toned, perfect for everyday wear at work. Even though the color is more a Fall color I can see myself wearing it year round. The texture is very creamy and hydrating, and it glides on like a charm without bleeding. I can't help but look at myself in the mirror all day long! So I bought Brick Red and Heather Rose online and can't wait to try them! Quality wise I think it is as good as Chanel and Dior if not better. Very pleased with the purchase and I'm sure I'll be buying more Burberry colors for my make up arsenal!

Proscreamy, moisturizing
I was just a little obsessed with the Burberry lipsticks from the time they started appearing in the magazines. I decided on the No. 14 Prune, a plummy color with some red to it. It may become my signature color.
The texture is excellent, creamy without being overly greasy. It is well-pigmented so there is a good color payoff. This one is definitely a keeper.
