REVIEW - Barry M Lip Paint - 153 Pink Ribbon


Hullo Ladies!

Spring is on it's way and I'm feeling the love for some brighter lipsticks!

I've been drooling over the Maybelline Vivid s collection all week but I'm a pauper at the moment and just can't afford them. So instead I searched through my whole makeup stash and found a bunch of lipsticks I've been neglecting the last couple of months. Pink Ribbon by Barry M was one of them.


I have a love hate relationship with Barry M lip paints. Sometimes their formula can be great and then other times it's down right terrible! 

Pink Ribbon has a wonderful formula though, very moisturizing and reminds me a lot like a MAC Cremesheen. 

It a lovely mid tone pink that has slight yellow tones which some people may think would not work to well with paler skin types but I have to disagree, I love it!

Now I've re-discovered this Lip Paint I'm going to be having a good look at the Barry M stand next time I'm in Superdrug :-) 

I find this to be a great transitional colour for spring, not too bright or neon but a lovely pop of colour that I've been missing these Winter months. 



Hope you have all had a great Friday! 

I've been re-reading the J R Ward Blackdagger Brotherhood series because the next book is coming out later in the month. I've been waiting four years for this book to come out so you may understand how excited I am for it!

    1. I think they're best known for their nail polishes but they make great pigments and lipsticks :-)
