~Personal Review~
I have been using Barry M for absolutely ages and love them to bits. I have bought their Dazzle Dusts over time and have 8 to my collection. (I could easily have more but I can never stick to one brand lol). The first one I ever bought was number 1 in Ice Pink. The thing I like about Barry M's website to real life is that it is the same, there is no "oh it didn't look like that one screen". It is true to life and that is what I love.

Ice Pink really is ice pink, it is a very sheer pink with shimmer silver making it have the "icy" look. On the eyes it's such a delicate colour but highly pigmented. This is the colour I used on my wedding day. This colour is even nice as a highlighter either on the top of the eye or cheeks.

Next colour is number 10 in Grey. In a swatch this colour isn't a harsh grey, you can apply it lightly so you have a wash of colour or you can make it look more dramatic. It is shimmery and looks amazing on, great for a smoky eye look.

Number 53 in Chocolate is a dark colour but then again it is chocolate. This colour I haven't worn all over my eye lid as I thought it would be too dark but I have worn it on the outer corner instead to make the eyes pop and it really does. Chocolate is infused with gold glitter almost instead of silver shimmer and looks brilliant even on the back of my hand.

Number 12 in White is pure white and I bought this as a pure highlighter for my upper eyes and cheeks.

Number 39 in Tan is a beautiful tan/very light bronze effect. It is shimmery but wouldn't say it has glittery bits like Chocolate but more of a shimmer like the others. This colour is perfect with a tan or not, really makes the eyes look amazing and even better with Chocolate on the outer corner.

Number 38 in Beige is a lighter version of Tan, beautiful colour, great for a nude look.

Number 24 in Old Gold isn't like the others that are shimmery it looks more like it has silver glitter bits init. It really is an old gold colour, think of an old fire place in the gold rust. Lovely.

Number 11 in Charcoal is a really dark colour, black in a nut shell. Great used as an eyeliner or for more definition in the outer corner of the eye. It is not as shimmery as all the other colours but it does have some shimmer init.

I have found all the Dazzle Dusts brilliant to wear, always long lasting, great pigment, loads of colour in the post that will last ages. I will be going back for more when I eventually run out, but it might be a while.

Because they are literally little pots of loose colour it can be messy but be careful when opening (I find tapping the lid a few times so the loose power falls into the pot and don't stay in the lid easy and non messy).

I find them SO easy to blend into one another or with another eyeshadow you have.

With any eyeshadow you will need a eye primer of your choice to make the colour stay on all day and to look true to life, as eye lids without a primer can make any eyeshadow crease and make the colour look different.

~Would I buy again?~
Do you really have to ask?

Summary: Little pots of sunshine :-)
