Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow

So lately there has been popping a lot Burberry make up, up in the different kind of reviews and youtube videos, which kind of reminded me that I have this little palette from Burberry that I have hidden away and totally forgotten about. I thought that now might be a good time to stop hiding it and make a small review about it. 



 The palette as contains four different colors and it's called Sheer eye Shadow Pearl Grey No. 03. 
These colors are sheer when you apply them, but they are also build able which is lovely because you can use them to create a lot of different looks, some stronger than others. I know that Emilynoel83 has just made a video about metallic neutral shadows and this little palette would have fitted in perfect, because it does have a metallic finish which is really beautiful. 


The shadows are really easy to work with and they have a beautiful soft texture which is just lovely to touch and work with. As you can see in the picture above then it have a sprong applicator with and it also has a nice mirror with it as well.


Then we finally come to the important part of the review the colors it selves. I took a close up of the shadows so you really could see them and their metallic finish.


I'm sorry they aren't as pretty as they used to be, but you can still see the pattern in some of them.


If we start at the left corner with the beautiful creamy pearly white highlighter, it is a really nice highlighter it will pop beautifully in the corner of your eye.


The color next to the creamy white is a pretty rosa color with a golden glitter, except there isn't any  junks of glitter in them so its more a golden metallic finish in it, which is really pretty.


Below the  rosa golden pink is a brown/golden kind of color, which is also very beautiful. 


At last we have this dark brown/copper color which is really pretty on the eyes, you just have to control it so it won't look like you have been crying your eyes out for days, because it has the ability to do the same thing as if you wear to much pink eye shadow and you look like you have been crying for days, so just keep that in mind.


I have created a look with this palette and on one eye I have only a neutral primer under and on the other I have a NYX Jumbo eye pencil in oyster under the eye shadow to make it pop more and I don't know if you can see it but on my right eye is the eye where I'm wearing the NYX jumbo pencil under in Oyster which is a lavender color and on my left eye I'm wearing the neutral primer from Estee Lauder. 






On my right eye the pink pops a bit more than it does on my left eye. You also get to see the metallic finish that these eye shadows has. They look beautiful on the eyes, but then again I would like to bring up emilynoel83 who has a video about metallic neutrals and to find a cheaper alternative then check out her videos because she is amazing.


I have to say that the golden/brown and the cooper/  dark brown reminds too much of each other when you apply them, which is kind of sad, because both of them are so pretty, but when you start to apply them then they blend into each and it feels like you are only wearing of them even though you are wearing both of them. I always think that it is the golden color that disappears, and I haven't found a way to make them work without them looking like the same color. 




I have taken some swatches, but I don't know how good they are, but here you can kind of see that the two dark colors look a lot a like, which they shouldn't, because they don't in the palette and why would you pay for the two same colors.


I don't know if this is something that you just got to have, because it isn't that special then I think that burberry has a lot of other products that are worth trying out, than this one. You can find a lot of colors that looks like these, which is just as good, so I wouldn't waste my money on this one, I would wait until I found something else that had a more WOW effect than this one does. It's good quality, but it's nothing special that you can't find somewhere else.


I wish all of you a good day :)
