#Ablogadayforthewholeofmay Day 24 - Jaq on Barry M summer offerings.


Barry M Summer Love Eyeshadow and Glow Palette

Barry M is a brand that I've long wandered past in Boots as I have bad memories of Dazzle Dust in my teenage years! Lately though they've been stepping up their game and today I'm reviewing the limited edition Summer Love Eyeshadow and Glow Palette.

For £6.49 you receive 6 shimmering eyeshadow shades and a creamy golden highlighter all packaged up in a mint green case. The shades are predominantly pastels which makes this a perfect pallete to change up your make up look for Spring and Summer although there is a darker shade too in case you feel like smoking it up.

The above swatch makes the second and third shades look much the same although hopefully from the main picture you can see that one is more of a light taupe whereas the other is a nude shade perfect for a base colour.

These 3 shades are by far my favourites, making a pretty trio of pink, blue and green that give a subtle pop of colour. All of the shades in the Barry M Palette are equally pigmented and so work well together. The shadows are also very soft and blendable and with a primer have been lasting me all day no trouble. I normally prefer a matte finish on my eyes during the day but these pastels are so lightly shimmering that I can wear them for work without having to worry that I look too made up.

Highlighter
I don't know about you but I have issues with highlighters due to my uber paleness! I need to get the shade and level of shimmer just right or I end up looking like a disco ball. That being said I don't know why I've never tried a cream highlighter before - well I do, I'm scared of cream blush and so I suppose a creamy highlighter goes hand and hand with that.

Well I have been missing out because this is now one of my most reached for products when I need a touch of glow that's not too in your face..um...on my face. Like the shadows it is blendable and doesn't crease or sit in my pores. The colour is a very subtle gold that highlights in a very natural way - it's almost a 'my skin but better' glow that I can't get enough of.

  3. Shades 4-6 are by far the best offering in this palette! I don't think I've ever bought anything other than nail varnish form Barry M!
