I wasn´t particularly interested in Burberry cosmetics but actually bought some items from them for my mom when I was in Hong Kong.
My favorite ebay seller listed a really cute mini sample version of the famous No.04 Rosewood Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick so I thought it looked interesting enough to try this out.
The sample version looks pretty much like the full-size however it doesn´t have that cool magnetic closure for the cap but just a regular click-on cap.
I like the delicate Burberry pattern engraved on the tube and the lipstick itself, these are the kind of small touches making those Burberry makeup items feel more precious and special in my opinion.
The lipstick has a very nice creamy texture and feels very comfortable and pleasant to wear. The lasting power is really good for such a creamy lipstick and the satin finish is very pretty.
What I dislike is the strong perfumey scent. It´s the kind of typical lipstick scent (like ...hmmm... Nivea body lotion perhaps?) and it doesn´t fade so this is something that REALLY annoys me.
No.04 Rosewood is a very pretty rosy brown shade that should work with most skin-tones and makeup looks.
Overall a high-quality lipstick and it could be totally perfect if they left that nasty perfume out.
Rating 3/5, obviously due to the overwhelming scent.
