Barry M Cosmetics

Barry M is my absolute favourite cosmetic brand. It hails itself as "the most colourful name in cosmetics" a claim which it's range certainly backs up. The whole range is so fun and allows you to create so many different looks. There are other ranges out there with colourful cosmetics such as MAC and GOSH but the difference with Barry M is the affordability. The whole range is so affordable that to build up a collection is easy. I haven't tried ...
...were my first introduction to Barry M. I found with most eyeshadows the pigment just wasn't strong enough and didn't provide me with a dramatic enough effect. At the time that I was shopping for 'holiday make up' the Barry M dazzle dusts were on 3 for £10 in Superdrug, this offer is on intermittently throughout the year. I opted for Yellow (No.76), Lime (No.75) and Khaki (No.14) to enable me to create a tropical look for on holiday. When I first ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...at an affordable price. Enter Barry M Cosmetics. I’d never heard of the brand until I met a transvestite wearing the most amazing glittery eyeshadow I’d ever seen in an iridescent blue/pink/white shimmer effect. I looked into his eyes and fell deeply in love (with the eyeshadow of course, I could never love a man with better legs than mine) and had to ask him where he’d got it. After contacting Barry M via their website to enquire about local stockists ...
...£4.50. ***Dazzle Dust- Probably Barry M’s best known product, loose powders in a vast array of opalescent shades, from iridescent glitters to strong primary colours. These can be used as eyeshadow or mixed with clear lipgloss to be used either on the lips or as a long lasting body paint that will take you through a whole night of clubbing. With some red dazzle dust and some Vaseline I managed a pretty good St George’s gross over my whole face last ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

This op is on a Barry M PRODUCT, not the range in general. My suggested product never got added :0( I've just bought my latest pot of dazzle dust from the Barry M range and I'm about to write on how much I adore these little pots! WHAT IS BARRY M? Barry M is a well known cosmetics range. The range is usually found in large Superdrug stores. No Barry M product or ingredient has ever been tested on animals which I like hearing. The product I'm ...
...is! This product is the, Barry M Dazzle Dust designed for eyes. WHAT IS THE PRODUCT LIKE? Barry M's dazzle dust for eyes is basically a 'diddy' pot full of loose highly pearlised powder which when applicated with a brush lights and glistens up your eyes! Basically the product is Barry M's replica of eyeshadow. Except this product is really cool and works fantastic, it's much better than any other eyeshadow I've ever bought! The loose powder is ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...the colours of sweeties. Barry M used to be available in Body Shop. You could get all manner of weird and wacky nail polishes, and a selection of crazy eye colours. Then suddenly you couldn't get them there any more. I was sad but I still had a white eye shadow from when I was about 16 (and that's a long long time ago) to remind me of the fun that could be had with Barry M. Then recently in Superdrug, I noticed a Barry M stand with an incredible ...
...suitably cheesy intro draws the Barry M logo in 'lipstick' and after a long while if you're on a slow modem (a short while if you're on ADSL) the front page loads. You have choices GALORE. If you want to be a glamour-puss or a sophisticated chick, or even a low-down and dirty dawg, Barry M has it all for you! I went mental and spent £75 on a dozen or so nail polishes, body glitter, face powder and basecoat, lipsticks and eyepencils. All of these ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

I've recently discovered Barry M cosmetics and after having bought some of their impressive nail paints, I decided to try some of their other products too. I've always used cream or powder shadows on the lower eye lids but I knew they were rather designed for the upper eye lid area, so I got intrigued when I saw the lovely looking chunky crayon in their range. I bought the Barry M Super Soft Eye crayon, because I found the shade nice and because ...
...skin as an eye shadow would, it being specifically designed for the eye lids. === The packaging === The crayon is like a chunky colour pencil, with the name and logo written on it in golden letters. The outer colour of the crayon is the same shade as the crayon itself and has a simple transparent plastic cap. === Appearance & Application === The creamy crayon has a light but fairly greasy texture and is rather oily than moist. It comes off easily, ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

Barry M Nail Paint: Browsing round Boots the other day I spotted Barry M Nail Paint on offer at two for £5.00 and I decided to treat myself to a couple of bottles. I have no idea why, but I had got the impression that Barry M Nail varnishes were expensive but all the reviews I had about them were very positive. I have to say that even the full price of £2.89 a bottle is very reasonable. The bottles look really cool, (which is nice as I display my ...
...range of colours offered by Barry M is quite amazing. They have a huge range from more subtle everyday colours right up through to 1980s style fluro yellows, greens and oranges. Being a child of the 80s and with my wardrobe quickly filling up with neon clothes I decided to get a wacky orange and the most unusual shade of bright, matte purple. Barry M’s range is definitely the best range of nail colours I have ever seen. Despite all the good reviews ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...is simply surprising. Barry M cosmetics are just that, surprising. I happened across the brand while on a shopping trip to london. I had trained in Cosmetics at college and had always wanted to be a make-up artist (but theres no money in it, unless you're famous), so I have more than just the usual love of Cosmetics. I am a confessed addict. I usually visit MAC while i'm in London as there products are fab, but unfortunately more than a little expensive. ...
...sold Barry M. I had never really heard of Barry M before, but because of my self confessed addiction I had to try it. So I did I brought a rich metalic brown tone lipstick, a clear gloss, nail varnish, concealer and my favorite 6 tubs of eye sparkle. Well what can 'eye' say, the eyeshadows, glitters and sparkle pots are amazing, for a few pounds you can transform your evening look. I was also struck by the huge range of colours these products come ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

Barry M Cosmetics are a brand widely known for their vivid and daring products. Amongst these products are 'Nail Paints'. There are over 50 colours in this range. From metallic finishes, matte finishes and sparkly finishes. From neon shades to pearly shades, there is a colour and style to suit everyone. So no matter what your mood or what the occasion, you can find just what you are looking for... which is something I love about this range. For this ...
...told simply, "NAIL PAINT by Barry M" with the website www.barrym.com in a smaller font at the bottom. On the back of the bottle there are three simple but useful statements: "Shake well. Keep from heat. Apply basecoat before use." On the bottom of the bottle we find the colour name and number. On opening the bottle for the first time, I was surprised to find a thinner and longer brush than expected. The consistency of the liquid was quite thick but ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...I recently discovered Barry M nail varnishes and I was pleased with the results of the dark red colour as after two applications it looked wonderful and was long lasting and did not chip or peel like a lot of the varnishes that I have tried previously. Now the summer is coming I decided to make an investment in some new colours for the summer for my toes and i was really impressed with the wide variety of colours that they have to offer and at a ...
...without acetone. The Barry M nail varnish is great as it is long lasting and i found a bottle that I brought last year and it has not gone hard and is still as the day that i brought it which is great as some set and gloopy. If i need to get a nail varnish in future i will definately be making sure that is a Barry M one. ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

This opinion is about the Barry M dazzle Dusts and body glitter. About 4 years ago I saw a picture of a woman in a magazine her eye shadow was bright sparkly silver and I decided I really wanted that metallic look over my eyes. I had tried several different brands to try and get the strong-pigmented colours. From silver to green and gold.Everytime I tried them on they disappointed me by being very transparent and wearing away quickly. It wasn’t ...
...I discovered the wonder of Barry M Dazzle Dust. There in her case was a tiny little pot with a glowing Gold powder in it. I tried a little on applying with a cotton bud it was shiny, thick wonderful pure Gold colour with no transparency. Well after this I searched over the Internet for Barry M and at that time the superdrug website was up and running (as it is no longer available as an online shopping store BOO!) So I went to a local superdrug ...

...i find nail paint by barry m the best of the lot. i am a very active person and usually find that my nail varnish is chipped after just a few hours at work or doing housework. with this nail varnish however there were no chips for two full days and even after that it was very long lasting before i needed to reapply. the nail paint is also very quick drying, helpful if you dont have hours spare to spend doing your nails. i always use a base coat as ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...some celebrity was wearing the Barry M eyeshadow and it was really bright. The colours are amazing if you are looking for attention ! There are dark bold colours and pale mellow colours. They come in little tubs of powder which isn't to great because it goes everywhere and you dont get any applicators with it. These cost around £4.50 which i think is great value because they last forever. The nail polish also comes in some outrageous colours like ...
...paint goes on quite thick but it takes a while for it to dry . When i paint my nails i always give them two coats and the polish seems to last a long time and it doesnt chip off like the usual ones. The eyeliner & kohl pencils are really good , they last along time and shapen really well. They last all day and also come in just about every colour that the eyeshadow comes in. There are lots of other products like lipstick etc but i dont have any ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...me! I eventually found the Barry M range of bright mascara's and couldn't waitto buy the Shocking Pink one! I went to my local superdrug the next day and purchased the bright mascara for £3.29 (I think it was about that price anyway hehe) Well anyway... when i got home i put it on as a test run and i wasn't very pleased :-(. The mascara seemed to be very thick and dry and it didn't seem to be much in the tube anyway! I thought i'd apply it anyway ...
...no! nothing worked and i was left with pink smudges around my eyes for 3 days! with people constantly asking me if i was ok! I would never buy this Barry M mascara again! it was a complete waste of money and hasn't earned a place in my make-up bag!!! ...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

...lots of different colours, and Barry M is great for that! I have over 20 different shades from lime green to sparkley red, and the Barry M counter is definately the first one i visit when looking for a new colour The Good- Reasonable price Cute little bottle with gold lettering Nice sized brush (though you will have to wipe excess off brush back onto bottle) Great range of colours- whatever you want I'm sure Barry M has got something for you ...
...occasion I would highly recommend Barry M- with most of the colours you can get away with just one coat of the colour which allows for quick application. However if you are looking for a lasting colour this may not be the brand for you as it does chip very badly. The brand is perfect for me because I love to paint my nails often and therefore rarely have a colour for longer than 2 or 3 days. ...
