I have found a new lipstick love!
On the same day that I bought Rimmel’s new Wake Me Up Foundation (you can see
my review here) I also bought Barry M’s new Lip Paint in shade 154 Pale Nude.
It was 3 for 2 in boots, I had to buy a new mascara and foundation, so it would
have been silly not to pick something else up too! I mean, come on, it was
free! I was just browsing through the Barry M stand; it’s a brand I tend to
neglect now-a-days. When I was younger I used to buy a lot of their products,
but I feel it seems to have a bit of a teen connotation with it, which isn’t
necessarily a bad thing, they make great products for reasonable prices, but as
I’ve got older the need for bright green eye shadow and bright pink mascara has
declined somewhat (Yes, I did own a bright pink mascara from Barry M..I hang my
head in shame). However, I was looking at some of their new nail varnishes, and
next to them, were their new lip paints, in 155 (Pretty Pink) and 154 (Pale
Nude). I was instantly drawn to the Pale Nude lip paint, a light peachy orange
shade, which is not dissimilar to their new Nail Paint in Peach Melba. For some
reason I have been having a bit of an orange phase at the moment. I swatched it
on my hand and thought to myself “Yes, this is something I definitely need in
my life” and went ahead and got it.
As it was 3
for 2, I did technically get this for free, so whilst I was very much excited
to use this lipstick, something in the back of my mind was telling me that it
was a really bad idea, that it would make me look washed out and gross.
However, my subconscious was proved totally wrong! I absolutely love this on my
lips. I always apply foundation over my lips before I put on a lipstick because
my lips are so pigmented and it just makes the colours really bright and a bit
weird. I was totally sold on this as soon as I put it on, and I have been
wearing it every day since. I have never worn a lipstick every day, and usually
just stick to my good old faithful Blistex relief cream, because it’s easy to
apply and feels amazing, but I find myself reaching for this lipstick each
morning, and even re-applying through out the day.
What I have
found with this lipstick though, and what I have found with a few of the Barry
M Lip Paints, is that although it doesn’t dry out your lips, or makes them feel
uncomfortable, if you apply this without using some sort of moisturising
product underneath, it will cling to any cracks or dry skin that you have. So
definitely, a quick use of a lip scrub, then apply a balm and let that sink in
before putting this on, and it will apply beautifully and smoothly!
I must
admit though, when I checked the Barry M website to see what the actual name of
the Lip Paint was, I was very surprised to see that it was called Pale Nude.
The name and the picture on their website is very deceiving, because the colour
is definitely more orange. Which I don’t have a problem with at all, but if you
are looking for a true nude, this may not be for you.
Thanks for
reading!
