Barry M Haul

Hello make-up lovers!


So today I have a Barry M haul for you :)


I personally am a huge fan of Barry M products, they are well known for being a bright bold company for a good price (aka super affordable) plus they don't test on animals (always a bonus for animal lovers like myself). 


One of my absolute favorites from Barry M is their Nail Paints, they have so much choice to choose from and are a brilliant quality, they are opaque, hard wearing and quick drying, and at the price of £2.99 you can happily buy a range of colours. Now they also have some 'special' colours, such as the instant crackle effect for £3.99. 


So the colours I bought (from left to right) are:
1) Limited Edition Effects 140 Silver Glitter - I have alreay fallen in love with this colour, it looks beautiful on its own with two coats or one coat ontop of black polish is so amazing. The only problem with glitter is it is so hard to remove. 


2) Dusky Mauve 313 - This is such a unique colour it is a grey taupe colour with purple iridescent.  £2.99


3) Instant Nail Effects Silver Foil 319 - Part of there new Foil Effects range, these have a fantastic finish which as the name suggests is supposed to replicate having foil put on your nails. I think that they need to top coat to look there best. £3.99


4) Instant Nail Effects Gold Foil 320 - Another new foil, this colour to me isn't a true gold, it had almost too much green in it. 


5) Red Glitter 150 - This must be the best holiday colour nail polish ever! It is so sparkly and festive, I am most definitely in love with this colour! £2.99


I also purchased two lip products from Barry M 

1) Lip Lacquer Crayon in 02 Cherry Red - This is the first of these I've tried and I am pleased I picked it up, it last a long time and looks great on the lips. £4.99

2) Lip Paint in 146 Dolly Pink - These are another of Barry M's great products, they go on amazingly and last a fairly long time, the colours are also very well pigmented. £4.49



Barry M is a brand I'm loving more and more lately, and I am super happy with my purchases.

GlossyBox December 2011

Hey everyone!


My Christmas edition GlossyBox arrived - woo! For those of you who don't know about GlossyBox yet, it is a monthly subscription to a box that has five luxury samples inside, for 10 pounds (plus p&p). Here is just what I received this month: 




So the box this month was a festive red, with white wrapping, which is different from their normal dusty pink colour. 


















Inside this months box were two full sized items and three really good sized luxury samples. 


1) BLINK+ Go Hi Definition Mascara - 
Full size £14.99/8g


2) CARGO COSMETICS Classic Lip Gloss
Full size £10.00


3) DEHORAH LIPPMANN - Razzle Dazzle Mini Nail Varnish with Stripped to Go Sachet
Full size £14.00 for the polish and £16.00 for a pack of 6 removers


4) MEMEME Seventh Heaven 
Full size £15.00 for 30ml


5) Rituals Foaming Shower Gel
Full size £6.50 for 250ml 


I was super happy to receive the full sized mascara, as I love trying out new mascaras, I was also pleased they put the full sized shower gel in there. The samples are also fabulous as they are large enough for some good use before they run out. Overall I am very pleased with GlossyBox this month!
