Barry Mmmmmmm

Hot pink lips are officially back!!!

Catwalk lips are big, bold and bright! Think Betty Jackson & Osman Yousefzada and you’re only halfway there!

Barry M are upping the auntie with their new hot range and leaving the big names quaking in their Manolos. This is an affordable drugstore based brand thats gaining a cult following.

Why have one Illamasqua/ YSL/ MAC lippy when you have have 3 from Barry M for the same amount of your hard earned ker-ching?

The sizzling new range from Mr M includes:

• Cerise Pink 144 a very berry shade
• Punky Pink 145 a fiery pink
• Dolly Pink 146 a cute bubblegum pink
• Peachy Pink 147 to leave lips looking just peachy

The PR “Each lipstick has a smooth texture and being packed full of natural moisturisers they simply glide on and stay put for hours”

I was lucky enough to be sent 147 Peachy Pink & 145 Punky Pink (can you guess which is which…..) Wowzers!

Peachy Pink 147 is the type of matt colour I tend to shy away from in horror. I’m not a massive fan of the blank porn staresque lip “on myself”. This is because my own lip colour is very pigmented and rosy and I find these shades bleed through and look cheap and unsightly.

I am pleasantly surprised by Peachy Pink and that has alot to do with the coverage this lippy offers. One coat covered well, 2 coats was opaque. Surprisingly I think it looks quite soft on me. I like it. My only issue with it is that I think it could be quite drying for a full days wear. I’ve tried it with a thin layer of MAC Sizzlepeach Lipglass and thats working better for me

Punky Pink 145 is my kind of lippy. This is already firmly in my personal makeup bag. I LOVE it!!!

It reminds me of the vibrant fuschia pink often sported by Cheryl Cole (I believe thats MAC Show Orchid), this is not a world away from that. It applies like a dream, really smooth and luxurious. I’d say its noticeably more moisturising than Peachy Pink. If this was given to me blind to test I’d honestly have guessed Chanel or YSL. Its THAT good

I’m really excited by these lipsticks. Everyone has been banging on about Illamasqua and how their range is designed to bring out your alter ego. Well IMO all makeup can do that for you, regardless of the brand or price tag. It all about what you do with it, how you wear, how it makes you feel…… and to give you an idea of what I mean this is how I feel as soon as I put this colour on…..

TMI?
