Gorgeous lipsticks. I personally love nude shades and purchased this lip colour in number 154 pale nude. Its a lovely peachy nude shade and goes great with olive skin tones. Would totally recommend! Although the price is a little high and the packaging is slightly annoying as the black plastic gets stained easily if you have make up on your fingers but it does do a great job. Leaves a nice creamy texture to your pout too.

So I really like Barry M lip paints, they have great consistancy and are great value for money. However, I hate this shade, I know it's a very 'fashiony' colour but I just don't think it's flattering on anyone, it's a similar shade to Mac's Lavender Whip which is also not a great shade.
That aside, the consistancy of this lipstick is quite nice and moisturising, but it does have the problem of the stick melting and snapping.

The lipstick itself is great - a pale lavander color, probably the ''truest'' lavander among all the drugstore brands. The color is really unique and I was really surprised the texture wasn't chalky and dry like I had imagined but soft and creamy.
The lipstick is quite small in real life though. At first the matte black packaging looked sleek but then I saw that the text on top of the cap has started to peel off (I had it for less than a day so it wasn't because I was carrying it around in my purse or something like that). Also, I left it in the sun by mistake for a couple of hours and it melted a bit and is now tilted to the side...which would be ok if the two lipsticks that I also left there on the table with it (NYX's round and black label lipstick) were fine and looked as good as new...so beware, carrying this in your pocket or in your purse on a hot summer day will probably result in a mess.

omg what can i say about this product! its so lush, i wanted the baby pink colour but it looked really dry and seems a bit to 'obvious' so this one was perfect. I always put lip balm on before though because my dry lips :( but apart from tht its great, the colour, it lasts for a while, it looks great! only downside mine snapped! so had to put it in a carmex tub, but its actually easier!. dont hesitate to buy this lovely lippy (: ♥

I absolutely adore this lipstick by BarryM. I have several more expensive lipsticks but my goodness, the color is to die for. I'm a sucker for unique colors and this pale lilac is right up my alley. The color is amazing; it's a way to stand out without having to wear a red/ bright pink lipstick. And because its pale, it can be paired with super dramatic eye makeup. The formula is so creamy and easy to work with, although its very soft and does get smooshed in the packaging. I avoid taking it out where I know I'll be exposed to a lot of heat. It does not wear off leaving a certain scumminess to my lips even though mine are cracked and dry. I'd have to say that this isn't particularly moisturizing even though its creamy, but there's nothing a little lip balm won't fix. I will always have one of this in my stash.

Lovely, pretty pale lavender, great for a Dusty Springfield type vibe. Suits my pale skintone; might not suit a more tanned skintone but is very wearable for day otherwise. Creamy formula moisturises and stays put for hours! and for £5 is comparable to MAC. Would thoroughly reccomend!

A true pale lavender colour, very creamy and moisturising to apply. Despite the unusual colour, its actually very wearable, you can build up intensity- from a sheer wash of colour over the lips, to the pale lavender colour you see in the bullet. The formula of the lipstick is what impressed me the most- it is very forgiving in the sense that your lips don't need to be in tip top condition to wear it. I would highly recommend!

I really like this lippie! Creamy texture, goes on smooth and evenly, has sort of a glossy finish. Light lavendar-pink, very cool toned which is fine with my NW15 coloring.A keeper in my book. Not a fan of having to deal with ordering online, dealing with exchange rates, and painful shipping costs so I'll wait to grab another when I'm over in the UK again or get my pal to bring one over for me when she visits. Also, love the black packaging but not a fan of the '80s gold lettering. Kind of tacky. But the product on the inside is fab. I highly recommend to other pale, cool toned ladies.

This lipstick is super creamy...I haven't noticed streaking......the packaging is lovely...very sleek....like Nars. It is very comparable to the consistency of the creme sheens by MAC. I love this! I pair it with a coral lipgloss over top..I love the way it looks. The one and only reason I'm taking off a lippie is that it's so creamy the lipstick is bending when I apply it and rubbing on the side of the inside when sliding it down :(

But I would still buy this again!

I wanted to love this product, but it wasn't meant to be. Palest lavender is just what it sounds like: a super-pale, blue-toned, milky lavender color. The color itself is quite pretty and especially well-suited to fair skin. However, this lipstick is TOO creamy, even creamier than the NYX round lipsticks, and it applies super-streaky. I have to layer it over another purple-ish lipstick, like NYX's Power, to make it wearable. Considering I had to CP this product from England and the shipping costs were astronomical, I just don't think it was worth it. I do like the sleek black packaging, however.

I really wasn't expecting to like this product but decided to give it a go because of all the hype around lavender lip colours for the spring and I'm so glad I did! I usually wear nude or pale pink lipsticks during the day but this is just as wearable and is so lovely and creamy.
My boyfriend even complimented it and he doesn't usually notice that kind of thing!

Pretty creamy lavender color. This one is best suited for pale skin, but I am NC30 and can pull it off.

I would have to agree that this is a gorgeous color. This shade is a frosty cool lilac. The shade is similar to Mac's Pervette. However, the scent of this lipstick is of a cheap manufactured lipstick and I can't stand the smell. Gorgeous color but weird scent.

Oh this is gorgeous.I'd never tried Barry M's lipsticks before just their dazzle dusts.But this is a beautiful pale lavender shade which is creamy and goes on a treat.It moisturises my lips and doesnt fade too quickly considering its a creamy texture.It looks lovely on and I'm now going to try other colours.

I got this in a swap, and let me just say this. THIS PRODUCT=LOVE. Lavender lips are H-O-T, HOT! This is so much creamier than the 101 Marshmellow Lip Paint, so if you didn't like that because of the texture, you gotta try this! It feels so smooth and lasts abouut 4 hours. The only problem is it's only available in the UK. :(
