When I think of Burberry, the words “classic” and “timeless” instantly come to mind, followed by: elegant, chic, mod, and pretty much anything else that’s luxurious and über-cool. The latest mascara release from this brand, Cat Lashes will not only win instant approval from all the feline fans out there, but meets all the desires of mascara aficionados such as myself, while the lush new Lip Velvet lipstick formula has winner written all over it. Well done, Burberry.

Burberry · Nude Beige Burberry Kisses, Damson & Nude Apricot Lip Velvet
Housed in gunmetal hued casings that are etched with the iconic Burberry plaid pattern both on the caps and on the lipstick bullets, they also come with a hefty feel to them (which I love) and a magnetic closure for added security. The new Lip Velvet has a matte casing (same design) with the lipsticks displaying a richly pigmented formula to provide excellent coverage from the first swipe. Along with excellent wear and a non-drying feel, these have a slight sheen at the finish; not full-on shine exactly but far from the traditional flat-matte look.
- Nude Beige N°01 Burberry Kisses (CAN $36.00) – A blend of satin-finish pigments and shiny polymers, this formula is meant to be buildable, although a light/neutral shade such as this will not become overly opaque. Buttery smooth in feel and with a good mix of both cool & warm tones to suit a variety of complexions
- Damson N°425 Lip Velvet (CAN $38.00) – deep mulberry, cool toned
- Nude Apricot N°401 Lip Velvet (CAN $38.00) – soft apricot, warm toned

Burberry · Cat Lashes Mascara
Housed in the brand’s signature gunmetal casing, this formula is meant to deliver length & volume, with a lightweight yet still flexible feel. The uniquely shaped hourglass brush has been designed to grip and coat all lashes evenly, helping them fan out for an eye-opening sculpted effect.
- Midnight Blonde N°03 – dark grey/taupe, excellent for those with über-fair lashes
- Chestnut Brown N°02 – rich deep brown
- Jet Black N°01 – inky black
The formula is very user-friendly and effortless to apply; that being said, I really love the brush head and how easy it is to reach all lashes from corner to corner, but I personally find the wand a touch too long for my taste. Bonus points scored for lashes that are clump-free and beautifully defined, as well as a no-fuss removal at the end of the day.
Burberry · Cat Lashes Mascara swatches (2 coats for each shade)
Mascara is easily my “desert-island” staple and the one product which in my opinion gives one’s face definition like nothing else can. That being said, my standards are fairly high with regards to performance and Cat Lashes totally delivers, even with the too-long wand (side note: you get used to it. But still). From the three lippies shown here, Damson has won me over completely – both in terms of colour and formula … and how cool is that name?
