My New Favourite Lipstick: Barry M 147 (dupe for Nars Bolero, Topshop Coy/Whimsical)

Hello there lovelies!

This post is going to be all about my new favourite lipstick, the Barry M lip paint in number147 which is also known as 'peachy pink'. There was a time back at the start of the year when all I wanted to wear was baby pinks, but now the summer (well, typically rainy British summer) is here I have become obsessed with peaches and corals, particularly of the nude variety. So when I tried this colour on at my friend's house last week I knew I had to have it!





To be honest I'm pretty new to Barry M lip paints, my only experience of them before has been pretty bad as I seem to have only tried the very chalky ones, but as many people say the consistency varies so much between them that you shouldn't let this put you off.  And at only £4.49 I'm very impressed by the nice sleek black packaging. The colour itself is very much the lovely 'peachy pink' Barry M promises, although there are definitely some coral undertones to it which makes it look more orangey in the pan. I did find it hard to photograph a true representation of the colour, but you can just go by the fact it's in the same colour vein as the famous Nars Bolero, Topshop Coy and Topshop Whimsical, but obviously with a much smaller price tag! Some people have said they find this lipstick chalky and drying, but although it is very matte and I would like it to glide on a little better, as long as I prime my lips with a little Vaseline first it doesn't look chalky or drying. I also find it's incredibly pigmented, very long lasting, transfer resistant and wears off the lips evenly.


Overall, I'm so happy this lipstick has walked into my make up bag as it's the perfect everyday peachy coraly (excuse my poor English!) pink summer shade that looks great with a tan and is a much cheaper alternative to splashing out on Nars 'Bolero' or even Topshop 'Coy' or 'Whimsical'. I just wish they smelled as good as MUA or Mac lipsticks...
Are you a fan of this lip stick? What other Barry M lip paints would you recommend?

I had such a fun girly day yesterday as me and my friends went to see 'Magic Mike', which was a really good film and not only because Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer spend most of it naked haha Today I'm trying to make the most of the rare sunshine and I actually managed to take some summery outfit of the day shots earlier which will be up soon!

Have a lovely evening!
Love Meg

  8. I have this lipstick and really don't like it! It tastes like a children's play lipstick and doesn't glide on very nicely.
