107 Pink Glitter.

I got a mini Barry M Lip Paint as part of a goodiebox last year. The shade I got was 107 Pink Glitter.

Having never tried a Barry M product before, I was curious to see what all the hype on youtube was about. Unfortunately I received a shade that I would never, ever wear - pink glitter.

As the name suggests, the colour I got was packed tight of pink glitter. Personally I loathe anything glittery on my lips but I decided to give this a go in case I changed my mind.

In terms of the formula, the lipstick itself was actually pretty nice. It was semi creamy and wasn't super hard to apply to my lips. However, the glitter did make it a little patchy.

The lipstick itself was tinted pink, so your lips looked pink with pink glitter encrusted on them. While I really, really disliked how this looked and felt (I liken it to the feeling you have when you have lip exfoliant on your lips), if you like wearing glitter on your lips then this might be something you want to try.

The packaging itself was sleek and robust. Even though I got a sample, the lipstick was a decent size and it wasn't hard to apply even though the bullet of the lipstick was smaller than full sized lipsticks.

Because I really despise glitter on my lips, I gave this away and wouldn't ever buy it. However, in saying that, I would definitely purchase a non glittery Barry M lip paint to see what the non glittery shades are like.

The glittery shades would be perfect for a little girl who wants to play with makeup, or for a fancy dress party - or for anyone that likes to rock glitter every day. For me though, it was a huge fail.

Great bargain!

I purchased this off ASOS for $4, and I love the sleek black design! The gold writing on the top of the lid is really nice too. I purchased this in the shade #121 and it is a cherry toned red. Very creamy and easy to apply, and it is very easy to shape my lips without using a lip liner. The colour doesn't bleed, and I like that you can build the colour up to create a light tint, or a bold cherry red colour. The only downside to this product is that the colour wears off very quickly. Very affordable though, and I am looking to purchase some more shades..

Tips: To help this lipstick last longer, I place a tissue on my lips and then apply setting powder/ pressed powder over the tissue with any eyeshadow brush. This mattes and lightens the colour a tiny bit, but the lipstick stays put for much longer :)

Very pigmented, okay formula

I have this in the light baby pink shade (the label has worn off) and while its super pigmented, I'm not a fan of the formula.

I found it didn't sit on my lips nicely, the look is so hard to describe. Everyone naturally has light creases in their lips, but the formula seemed to sink into the creases, it looked very patchy. I'm sure the lightness of the shade didn't help this at all. I'm not sure if they're all like this or if it was just the shade/product I had. I was somewhat disappointed.

I liked the colour and the packaging, but I think I'd rather stick to my MAC Amplified lipstick in St. Germain.

Tips: You might need a lip primer or a balm first.

Just didn't work for me...

I purchased one of these while it was on special from ASOS for a few bucks. I am glad I didn't pay more for this because it just didn't work for me! The colour was 147 Peachy Pink and it was the most gorgeous shade, just as it described - a peachy pink. It looked amazing with my complexion, but that's where the good stuff stops. It applied fine, wasn't the creamiest but it was okay. But after about half an hour I looked in the mirror and it had gathered in places on my lips and completely worn off on the other spots, it looked terrible and I felt embarrassed that I had actually been out and talking to people when I looked like that!! I gave it another chance and put lip balm under it - still no go - same thing happened. So I tried using a lip gloss over the top, same thing. Just kept turning into a horrible mess after about half an hour. I was so disappointed because it would have been my go to lippie if it had worked as it should have, the colour was beautiful.
