Barry M

Whilst on a Mother's Day shopping trip (more on that in another post!), I popped into Boots and couldn't resist the Barry M stand (again!) and couldn't believe how much their newest product 'Glitter Liquid Eyeliner' was a deadringer for Urban Decays Heavy Metal Glitter Liners. Its even available in the same colours and in my opinion goes on and stays on much better than the UD product (and for only £4.95!). The Barry M glitter liquid eyeliner is available in 7 sparkly colours including silver, iridescent, green, blue and gold (the silver was my favourite- i'm currently wearing it!)



I also couldn't resist their liquid eyeliner which again was a deadringer for Urban Decays Liquid eyeliner, right down to shades except in a much more user friendly application (and price!). I tested the pink, purple and green liquid eyeliners and was able to achieve an even line with one go (whilst perched on tip toes to look in the mirror at boots!) and its stayed on all day and even after getting wet! The colour is as fresh as when I first applied it (none of that tired end of the day colour) and it didnt smudge or run! Its available in 7 shades from classic staples like black and coffee shimmer to modern classics like green and purple to newer jewel tones like turquiose, blue and pink and costs a very purse friendly £4.50



Urban Decay have also just released a collection of loose pigments but why not try one of the originals (besides MAC) and use one of Barry M's 64 dazzle dusts which can be used on the eyes, face or lips- my particular favourites are Charcoal, Rust. Fig, Khaki and Mushroom but with 64 shades your bound to find your favourites too and at £4.50 a pot, why not go mad and get a few!



Also being the neutrals girl I am , I couldn't help but squeal with delight at the release of their grey nail paint (the vogue colour for nails) and my absolute must to counter this spring and summers brights and their newly released navy nail paint (perfect to add the finishing touch to your nautical outfit). If none of those float your boat, why not try one of their other 49 shades (including their neon and glitter collections) all for the crazy price of £2.95! (Also try their black nail polish in place of Chanels Black Satin and save yourself £15 and treat yourself to even more Barry M products!)
