I bought this Barry M touch of magic lip paint out of pure curiosity - how could Barry M live up to the promise that a green lipstick would turn pink once applied? It baffled me and the quirkiness of the product meant that I bought it as soon as I saw it. I have used other Barry M lip paints in the past such as marshmellow and baby pink and been pleasantly surprised that such a cheap lipstick would work so well!

The lipstick is encased in a black plastic casing with a removable lid. The casing feels very sturdy as it is quite thick plastic and I have often dropped it (mainly in a club as I drunkenly fumble for my mobile phone or change for the taxi home!) the casing has stood up to all of the mishaps and still remains in good condition. It has Barry M written on the top of the lid in a swirly, fancy font and has the twistable mechanism to wind the lipstick up and down.

The main selling point of this item is that the lipstick is green. This is until it reacts with the pH level of your lips and this changes it from green to a shade of pink. This shade of pink differs depending on the pH level of your lips, for me the lipstick turns my lips into a very pink and vibrant pink colour but for my housemate it turns her lips into a very light pink!

The lipstick is just like any other Barry M lip paint it glides on easily and this one in particularly doesn't add a sheen to the lips so it is quite matte which I like as you don't often find a good matte lipstick for this price. It is very soft too and compliments my complexion. This lipstick set me back a mesely £4.59 from Boots and I use it all the time. My main hype about this product is that it stays on the lips for ages and drinking/eating etc fail to remove the lipstick which is a big bonus! I would highly recommend this product.
