barry M Cool Colours

Advantages: long lasting
Disadvantages: n/a

...Over the years I have had false nails and have spent a lot of money on decorating my nails with varnish. I have used varnishes that vary in prices, I have tried Opi and and also the likes of Rimmel and I have notice that over the years that it is not worth spending lots of money on a varnish as there is not a lot of difference in quality. 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 retail value of just under £3.00 this is well...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

Barry M does it for me!

Advantages: nice colours, not as cheap as I thought, variety
Disadvantages: still quite pricey, has to be applied a few times

...I had never really been a 'make up' girl to be honest. Yes, I had a little plastic pink vanity table when I was younger, and I would spend time carefully applying the plastic lipstick and mild perfume. Though only recently have I started to wear make up more regularly. We were all going out one evening for a meal, so I decided to I would treat myself to some more make up for the occasion, something I would not normally buy. I decided to give Barry M a try. My friend had raved about their products constantly, so I was quite keen to find out for myself. when I went on a search for some of their products, I spotted a flourescent pink mascara in their section of Superdrug, which seemed to leap out at me. It seemed a good sized of tube, and you could see the pink through the clear tube. It had a little black lid and its writing on the tube...

Review of Barry M Coloured Mascara

Fun and fabulous.... Barry M Kohl Pencil

Advantages: Great colours, easy to use and remove and the duration is amazing!
Disadvantages: None I have come across

...I asking for something that stays put then I'm asking for it to come off at demand! Yes I'm a Libra lol The reason it has to come off easy speaks for itself I mean course it does but for me in particular a few times I have gone to bed thinking I've removed my make up really well (used eye make up remover, cleanser and toner) and next morning in the cold hard light of day I can see not only did I miss some that got tucked into my eyelashes but I also have an infection and with me it's not the conventional one this is where my eye puffs out so much on the top lid you can see under it's rim and boy oh boy does that hurt. So as I say I pick the best brands that promise me the earth. I don't buy any make up products I've never heard of and tend to throw money in this direction. After trying the Barry M mascara I decided to stick...

Review of Barry M Kohl Pencils

Barry M, the love of my life!

Advantages: Verstaile, high quality, unique, cheap
Disadvantages: messy

...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 all the different products available from Barry M so I can only really comment properly on the ones I have. DAZZLE DUST Well dazzle dusts 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...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

Funky and outrageous - Barry M Nail Paints

Advantages: long lasting
Disadvantages: none really

...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 review I have chosen my current favourite, '292 Navy'. The Nail Paint bottle is rectangular glass and very striking in comparison to regular round bottles elsewhere on the market. The top is black and round and is very easy to open. On the front of the bottle we are told simply, "NAIL PAINT by Barry M" with the website www.barrym.com in a smaller font at the bottom...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

Barry M Nail Varnish- Fab colurs, bad chips

Advantages: Great range of colours
Disadvantages: Chips easily

...I love painting my nails, especially in bright, vivid colours????greens, purples, pinks, blues, anything a little different and eye catching. I had heard a lot about the Barry M range of make up in the past and had been told about the amazing range of colours they produced, so tempted by such fabulous reviews and comments on the range decided to check out what nail varnishes they had available. Barry M- The Barry M range is fast becoming the most well known brand of make up for those who love their vivid colours, with over 400 different colours over a wide range of products for the nails, eyes, lips etc? unsurprisingly the range was originally created in the 1980's when such bright colours were all the rage, the trend is seeing a popular come back and the brand is seeing a return to the top. The range is animal friendly which is...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

I've been welcomed to into the family of Barry M....

Advantages: A nice, easy to use lipgloss
Disadvantages: Smell and taste isn't all that great but oh well that's the price you have to pay lol

...Again after some reviews on Barry M I've read on here I've been looking at the range on a regular basis. I wanted to buy some of them gorgeous glittery eye dusts but to me they look a bit tricky to use and I know I don't have a steady hand and besides that I got some of those kinds of products already by some offering by Bourjois and a couple of gorgeous ones by collection 2000 I've purchased recently so in a way I thought I should purchase something more useful! If you've ever read any of my make up reviews you will know by now that I'm not really enthralled by lip-glosses or lipsticks and usually after writing about them I bin them as I come to realise how rubbish they really are! So off I went to Superdrug in my quest where I'm greeted by a wonderful looking Barry M stand. The colours are bright, young and vibrant! So I hunt...

Review of Barry M Lip Gloss

Make your eyes Dazzle with Barry M Dazzle Dust!

Advantages: Gorgeous results, very portable little pot
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, but to get your money's worth I recommend using the 3 for £9.99 offer!

...I first heard of Barry M about 3 years ago when I saw their gorgeous nail paint on a friend, but that's another review! I love all of their products and the dazzle dust is most definately one of my favourites! It does have it's down sides though... The first down side is the price - £4.50 - which isn't terrible but seems like you're paying a lot for what you get because the pots are tiny. However they do always have a 3 for £9.99 offer on and you only actually need to apply a tiny amount because they last for ages. Another dowside is that when you open the pot it can sometimes spill out and go into a little cloud which isn't really an issue - unless you have a white or light coloured carpet! Also, when you dab it onto your eyes or apply it with a brush little bits of the powder fall onto your cheek which is slightly annoying. To...

Review of Barry M Dazzle Dust For Eyes

Barry M Dazzle Dust for Eyes - Fantastic!

Advantages: Amazing range of colours - something to suit everyone!
Disadvantages: If you drop or spill is hard to clean up!

...I have used Barry M Dazzle Dust for years, ever since buying my first pot I have been hooked on the amazing colours - especially their range of greens. I always like to an effort when it comes to my eye make up, having quite striking green eyes I have found that using a nice bright colour on them really makes them stand out and I always get compliments when I use these Dazzle Dusts. They come in small pots holding 3g of loose powder. The pots which have a screw up lid, are glass and they last for absolutely AGES. Costing approximately £4.50 each I buy mine in Superdrug, however you can also get them from www.asos.com and from the Barry M website (www.barrym.com) sometimes in Superdrug they do special offers on them where you can buy 3 items for £10 which is a really good saving so it might be worth keeping your eyes peeled for that...

Review of Barry M Dazzle Dust For Eyes

A Magic creation from Barry

Advantages: good colours, not too expensive, lasts
Disadvantages: needs a lot of application

...I always thought Barry M make up was extortionate, though I not long ago discovered that this is not the case and immediately jumped at trying some of their product. I recently had the opportunity to try Barry M products when I was hunting for something special to wear on an evening out with the friends. I had stumbled across a pink mascara which looked quite pretty, and decided to go for a pink eye liner pencil they were offering too. The wooden pencil is quite a deep shade of pink, and a good length too. On it, Barry M is written in gold itallyics, which looks quite elegant and makes it look a little more expensive than some other brands. The little lid is clear, allowing you to see through to the nib of the pencil. You will notice when doing so that the pencil nib is actually quite a bright pink shade, a lot more that expected...
