I’ve wanted this lipstick for ages! It is never in any Boots stores when I’ve looked and I never wanted to make a Barry M online order for fear of spending all my money! However, with a lot of restraint I finally made a small order and included this lovely lipstick. I was worried about the formula of this lipstick and buying before swatching it because some Barry M lipsticks can be a little drying, but I need not of worried because this lipstick is very nice and not at all drying.
The colour is, like it’s name, a pinkie sheer lipstick with a gold sparkle sheen to it. It’s sheer enough to apply without a mirror and although it’s lasting time isn’t great, it’s very easy to apply it doesn’t take long to top it up. The lipstick in the tube is really pretty too, it’s a nice dusky pink with a almost marbled gold shimmer running through it.
Finally here is a swatch on my lips. As you can see it’s not very pigmented, but leaves a nice pinkie gold sparkle finish. The lipstick is quite moisturising and this is my go-to lipstick for a neutral day with a bit of sparkle.
I’m in Marseille right now and I have a few scheduled posts for this week while I’m away. I’m probably still on Twitter though, I’ve sorted out my phone with an internet booster so I will have internet while I’m away. I’ve definitely packed this lipstick to take away with me. However, I am concerned about melting lipstick and myself melting in the heat. I’m a total heat wuss! Hopefully myself and my lipsticks will make it back in a non-melted state :P Speak soon! xxxx

/ August 23, 2011Oooh I have this one! I could have told you how great it is! 130 is also nice, it’s a pale pink but without the gold =) I ordered mine on Amazon last year. I got 130, 132 (this one) and 136 which all have creamy moisturising formulas! 129 is creamy too but it’s a pale lavender and is hard to pull off lol hope you’re having fun in France! xx

/ September 1, 2011KarenD – I also took a load of lipsticks and I didn’t really wear any! Although I did spend all my time away with flu in the hotel room. Not really anything to dress up for! :P xx
Leisha – Oooh, I will have to do another BarryM order, I only wear lipsticks that have moisturising formulas really. Even if the colour is gorgeous, I get so annoyed if it’s a drying formula! Thanks for the suggestions! :D xx
