Barry M Magic Lip Paint
~About Barry M~
Barry M was created in 1982 by Barry Mero. Barry had a number of retail shops around London selling beauty and cosmetic products.
Barry was known for his wacky and bold colours that no one else had or would dare to have and he soon made a name for himself.
Barry M is originally known as the most colourful name in cosmetics and the UK's number 1 fashion cosmetic company and with the colours he has it is easily to see why.
If you want to make a statement with your cosmetics Barry M is the way to go.
Barry M sells a range of nail products including:
~ Nail Paints
~ Neon Nail Paints
~ 3 in 1 Nail Paint
~ Glitter Nail Paint
~ Nail Whitener
With Barry M Nail Paints you can choose from over 50 different shades, covering the whole colour wheel. He has metallic, pearls, matt and shimmers.
They are for natural or nail enhanced nails.
Barry's Nail Paints won Winner 2009 Instyle Best Beauty Buys.
~About the Product ~
Barry M says this product is green in colour but applies pink.
Magic Lip Paint is more of a stain to the lips, it is a waterproof formula with added Aloe Vera. It stays put for up to 8 hours.
Depending on the pH of your lips (like Ultra Glow Magic Lips, see review on Dooyoo for this) depends on how pale or rich the colour will go.
~Where to buy and Price of Product~
You can buy Barry M Magic Lip Paint from your local Superdrug either in store or on line or direct from Barry M at http://www.barrym.com for £4.25.
~Personal Review~
I like lipsticks that stain the lips so I get long wearing lip colour. Barry M says this green lipstick will turn pink so I thought oh a lovely shade of pink I will have one of those. So with some other products I bought Magic Lip Paint.
Like every other time I have purchased something off Barry M's website they have always arrived quickly.
The packaging is the same as their Lip Paints, black packaging with Barry M at the top and the number of the product at the bottom, except this time at the bottom it says Green Magic Paint.
I applied it to my lips expecting it to go pink and it went kind of a bright red on me, which is what I wasn't expecting. But it wasn't a horrible red and because it goes with the pH of your lips it will suite you.
As I said in the Ultra Glow review it doesn't matter what colour you would like it to go it will only go to the pH of your lips and my pH of my lips is red as all Ultra Glow Lip Stains turn a different shade of red or bright pink on me so with Barry M's Magic Lip Paint this is no exception it will go red on me.
As your pH of your lips are different to mine and everyone else's it will always go a different shade, you may even get it to go light pink, bright pink, light red etc. It all depends on you.
I found this lip stain to stay on for hours and didn't leave marks on cups, glasses, when eating or kissing it was always there, which is brilliant if you don't want to touch up through the day or when your out on the town and you don't want to carry a lipstick with you this is perfect.
It is creamy when applied and doesn't dry out the lips unlike some of Barry M's Lip Paints in matte. So you won't have to worry about having dry lips throughout the day.
A great lipstick stain from Barry M.
~Would I buy again?~
Yes I would, although it will last me ages so don't know when I would have to buy again.
Summary: Great lip stain from Barry M

- 18/11/09 No it wont change with anything like that, just the pH of your lips. |

- 16/11/09 Mmm, I quite want to try this just to see what colour my lips are! However I'm not liking the long term stickability of it - what if it turns my lips neon pink! Good if you find it's a good colour though.
Does it change with things like orange juice? Or is that a stupid question? |
