Today I thought I'd do a quick post about my all time FAVOURITE lip product ever! I'm in love... And I never thought I'd say this about anything that went on my lips (except perhaps a lip balm?).
Lipsticks are a very difficult thing for me: if you didn't already know I have very large facial features (big eyes, a big nose and big lips), therefore it is often hard to wear a lipstick without it looking too full on. I have, however always been extremely fascinated with lipstick and have been on a mission to find one that I feel comfortable in. In Boots a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine and automatically knew I had to buy it.
Ever since my purchase I have been hooked!!!!The price of the product was only £3.99 which is such a bargain (thank goodness as I think I'll be re-purchasing it until I'm 100).
I am absolutely obsessed with how this lipstick looks, although it is a bright lipstick I feel totally comfortable and confident when wearing it! I love how it can completely change the way an outfit looks. The lipstick is also very versatile and can be worn with jeans and a plain top in the day, or with a dress and heals in the evening. BRILLIANT!!
It has such easy application, it glides on my lips and does not feel sticky at all once on. I also love that because it is a pencil it acts like a lipstick and a lip liner, which makes it look so much neater.
There are a few things that are quite annoying about the product,for example it has to be sharpened- yes, what a nightmare! This didn't bother me too much at first, until I realised that it also didn't fit in a normal makeup sharpener it only would fit in the Barry M one, hmm. The Barry M sharpener is only a couple of pounds so I quickly go over it, however it was quite frustrating knowing I already had one at home!
Another problem with it is that it does need to be topped up regularly throughout the day and I do feel like I'm constantly asking people if it looks okay, or having sneaky little check ups of it in a mirror. this is because it seems to wipe away or fade in some areas and not others, so it can go patchy (is that the correct word?).
Anyway, even I'm tired of my rambling now. Congratulations if you read this far!
Take care!
