Barry M Lipstick

After venturing into Boots, which I should never do as I always come out with a bucket full of stuff, I decided to get some Barry M Lip Paint. This is the first Barry M lipstick I've bought and I'm not quite convinced although I may just get there. After delighting myself by colouring in the back of my hand with the testers I decided on get the Lip Paint in shade 153. I've also seen this shade be called 'Pink Ribbon' but I'm not sure so I'm sticking with shade 153. It's a bright pink colour which I think is really pretty. It would probably suit most skin tones although maybe not really pale people. It is very pigmented and goes on quite smoothly so one coat is enough to achieve pretty pink lips which is good. The packaging is surprisingly nice, a matt black case, which is actually really small. I find this lipstick to be quite drying and I've heard this is one of the traits of a lot of Barry M lipsticks, however this can be solved by wearing lip balm or Vaseline or something underneath. Happy Days! :-) They are not incredibly long lasting, but they're not terrible. I usually get around 2-3 hours of wear out of it unless I eat or drink a lot (happens regularly!) which means that it will wear off. This doesn't put me off though as I think its to be expected. The best bit about Barry M lipsticks is the price. £4.49! This is where I should of stopped and thought 'Can a £4.50 lipstick really be that amazing?' But I convinced myself with the usual 'stop underestimating cheap prodcuts' and bought it. I think for what I paid for, I got a good product and therefore if you're feeling like it buy one! It probably wont be your favourite lipstick, but its a cheap and cheerful addition to my ever growing make-up collection!

P.S I completely forgot a swatch, I am very sorry, I will remember in the future :-)
