Burberry Fresh Glow

Introducing my recent favourite - Burberry Fresh Glow! 

I love it that the first ingredient is water!
Ingredients

So what's this Fresh Glow i'm raving about?
As described previously, this is a primer base which is typically used before foundation. This primer brightens up the face and leaves my make-up on for almost the whole day! It is meant to give a natural looking glow to our faces!

It leaves the skin supple with a pink healthy glow, please note that it is not colourless. Still, it is very light weight and you barely feel the formula. To some, it might be important to note that it is odourless!
I also love the fact that there's rose water extract and vitamin included in the formula which are two key ingredients necessary for the skin!

Since Fresh Glow is so sheer, it can be also used as a highlighter and eye primer (i.e. after foundation). I've dabbed some over my lids after my eyeshadows, where Fresh Glow delightfully perked the lids even more and it didn't even have to touch up any of my eyecolors or eyeliner (non-waterproof/smudge proof pencil - I typically have to use a gel liner) for the rest of the day!

On lazy weekends, Fresh Glow can be worn without any foundation or make-up. Of course, this does not give you your flawless face since concealer, foundation and other support are missing - i.e. there's no coverage. It just helps to perk up the dull complexion a little!

A small amount of Fresh Glow is sufficient for my face!

See the two swatches, the right one is halfway massaged in without much effort! Notice the Sheer Glow yet?

I've fully blended the Fresh Glow in on the LHS. See the dewy glow!

Mixing my foundation & Fresh Glow

TIP: A tip here to share which I picked up from the Burberry beauty teacher, Celestine. Its ok to blend Burberry Fresh Glow with your liquid foundation to apply together like a moisturizer! (See Above for blend and results below)

I'm not sure how clear this picture is but LHS shows just my foundation which is slightly duller while the RHS is the blend of foundation + Fresh Glow! Its looks more supple with some reflective glow! 

I'm falling in love with Burberry Make-up! I've a keen bias towards natural/nude shades make-up... so Burberry Beauty has won me over by emphasizing on both natural and sheer make-up!

In comparison to my almost 5-year companion primer -- Shu Uemura Mousse Base (Pink/Beige) - I must say that although Burberry Fresh Glow comes in a gel formula, the latter is still lighter than the mousse after application. The Mousse base does smoothen out the skin but does not keep my make-up as long as the Fresh Glow and sometimes appear to dry my skin out. Additionally, the Mousse Base does not provide the healthy glow which Fresh Glow does. Still, the Shu Uemura mousse formula is amazingly light for a base with spf included. Pls note at this point that the Fresh Glow is free of any Sunblock ingredients i.e. no SPF protection. Hence, on my lazy weekends, if its just going to be Fresh Glow, I'll use my moisturizer, Shu Uemura Mousse Base then Fresh Glow. This is because I don't use any other face sunblock products.

No doubt Burberry Fresh Glow is pretty pricey at S$70, go have some fun and try it out at the counters! If there's just one product you got to get from Burberry - go for Fresh Glow. Oh but as with all products in a bottle, pls SHAKE before you use the formula! Most people forget to do that with Fresh Glow!

I give this 4 out of 5 smooches! Score: ♥♥♥♥/♥♥♥♥♥
[The missing smooch is due to i) the expensive price tag and ii) my short usage period thus far - only 1 week! I want to leave some room to evaluate this product more! - Feb 2012]
