In my previous post, I mentioned my trip to Sydney on the weekend and did a spot of shopping. Of course, what would be a beauty blogger be without having a lot of swatches on her hands during this experience! *blush* For convenience, all photos were taken using my iPhone. I do apologise if they're not the best (most beauty counters don't take kindly to photography :( ), but hopefully it will help you somewhat if you're considering buying any of these products. Below are swatches of new products from two of my favourite makeup brands:Becca Cosmetics and Burberry.
Becca Ultimate Matte Lip Colours
There are 8 available colours.

Top row from left to right:
- Claudine: nude - quite so, such that you may not be able to see it in the photo because it almost matches my skin tone. Just a touch peachy pink in comparison.
- Isolde: nude mauve
- Antoinette: merlot
- Adele: raspberry
- Aurora: coral red
- Amelia: poppy pink - love this one, but I thought I may have something(s!) similar so I resisted the temptation to purchase. Phew!
- Josephine: crimson
- Eloise: ballerina pink - I purchased this as I thought it'd be lovely for everyday wear and would get a lot of use out of it.
Becca Ultimate Crème Eyeliner
The eyeliners come in 4 colours.

| Taken indoors under artificial lighting (against olive, medium to tan NC~30-35 skin tone) |
From top to bottom:
- Renaissance: matte brown - initially I was going to purchase this for a neutral day wear without the harshness that a black liner can give...however, I went for the more sparkly one in the end! Resistance was futile!
- Neo Classic: shimmering ivy- a must if you love green around the eyes.
- Belle Epoque: shimmering plum - I purchased this one because apart from being pretty, I didn't have a cream eyeliner quite like it in my collection. :)
- Romanesque: matte black - to me, this was a perfect matte black - blackest black and extremely opaque. If I were to run out of my current Bobbi Brown one, I would definitely try this out next!
Burberry Lip Glow in 'Fondant Pink'
This is one of the 4 new lip glows released as part of Burberry's 2013 spring/summer collection. For some reason it wasn't released everywhere like the other 3 shades were, but in any case, I found it at the Burberry counter at the Sydney David Jones store. :) The shade is called 'Fondant Pink' (No.21) and it's a very milky, pale/baby pink. (Swatches of the other 3 lip glows can be found in this post).
