Barry M Loud Mouth Liquid Lip Colour Review

When it comes to lip shades, a girl can never have too many reds right? No, I didn’t think so and so my latest addition to my collection is this Loud Mouth Liquid Lip Colour in shade Dive from Barry M. It’s been a while since I bought anything from Barry M but as soon as I saw these intriguing liquid lip colours I knew I had to give one a go.

As you can see, this lip colour is a vibrant deep red and the colour comes out as intense as it looks in the tube. It’s very glossy and more slippery as opposed to sticky on the lips. It glides onto the lips easily but you do have to be careful when it comes to perfecting the lip line and I suggest applying a lip liner first.

I think the colour looks great on and I love the intense shine. However, this isn’t a lip colour you can apply once and leave on for the rest of the day. Oh no, this stuff is high maintenance. I wore it recently on a night out and after merrily and obliviously dancing away for some time, I finally went to the ladies and immediately spotted my lips in the mirror and the major lip line bleed, which did not look attractive! So be warned, if you’re going to brave it with this bold red, regular liner top ups are required when you’re wearing this one. It certainly is not smudge proof, so I would not suggest wearing it when you’re going for food, less it might end up looking like you’ve actually chewed your beef burger straight from the carcass, just a heads up.

The Inexpensive Perfect Bright Red Lip

There’s nothing like making a statement with a bold red lip. I am lipstick obsessed (if you haven’t figured that out already) and I’m not afraid to experiment with my use of colours but if there is one shade I always come back to, it’s red and a bright red to be specific.

It’s classic, It’s chic and it instantly makes you feel that little bit more dressed up and the best part is, it needn’t be expensive! I’ll have you know that my very favourite red lipstick cost under £5. So here are my two inexpensive products for creating the perfect bright red lip…

The P.S Love lipliner from Primark is a recent purchase. Prior to that I’d gone for the Models own bright red lip liner but after discovering this one at only £1, it was a great excuse for a change. (read my full P.S Love lip liners review here)

As I’ve said, the lipstick is my favourite red lipstick. I’ve repurchased this one time and time again. It’s from Boots and it’s the Seventeen stay pout lipstick in shade Date Night. This stuff stays on your lips so well and it doesn’t dry out the lips.

I had a bit of a panic a while a go when Seventeen re-branded and I thought that this lipstick had had been discontinued. But alas, it had just had a packaging and name change, phew.

I don’t think I need to say but I’m obsessed with this lipstick, I think the photograph of it shows that it’s a well loved one and I’ll soon be in need of yet another repurchase.

So there you have it, the inexpensive perfect bright red lip.

Do you like to rock a red lip every now and then? If so, what’s your favourite red lipstick?

P.S. Love: Primark Lip Liner Review

There’s nothing like a good lip liner to keep your lipstick looking on point. However, as much as I love spending money on new and colourful lipsticks I often feel slightly short changed when it comes round to buying lip liners. Although I do see them as almost a necessity when applying my lipstick, I still don’t love the idea of forking out much cash on them, especially when you’ve already purchased a pricey lipstick.

Many times I’ve gone for the more budget buys when it comes to lip liners and still been satisfied but when I came across these P.S Love lip liners from Primark’s makeup range, at such a low price, I wasn’t sure how good they would be. At only £1 per liner, I thought I may as well give them a try and after purchasing all three colours available, I couldn’t wait to get home and try them out.

This is a review that needs very little words so I’ll let the lips do the talking. A few things I will say about these lip liners though, are that they glide on easily and are strongly pigmented. They are scentless and long lasting on the lips.

Nude

I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced nude liner for ages and I’m so glad I’ve finally found one!

Pink

I already own so many pale pink lip liners, it was good to get my hands on a bright one at last.

Red

I get through so many red lip liners. I love this one, so at this price I best stock up.

I would certainly recommend these lip liners, especially if it’s your first time trying out lip liners and you want to buy a few products that aren’t going to break the bank. Also, if you’re like me and often enjoy a red lip, I’d definitely say to try out the red lip liner. I go through so many red lip liners and the cost quickly adds up but from now on I know where I’ll be continuing to purchase mine from. I only hope they start adding more colours to the range! I give these lip liners a big thumbs up!

Collection Cotton Candy Cream Puff Lip Cream Review

Finding that perfectly subtle pink lip colour that I love, is often an arduous task. Too pale, too bright, I seem to have been through them all and lets face it, any excuse to buy more lip colours right? Anyway, this Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream in Cotton Candy is a shade I’ve been using on and off for a few months now (when it takes my fancy). I’ve been rather fond of these lip cream type products as of late and when I spotted this one at such a bargain price I obviously had to add it to my collection.

The Cream Puff lip cream glides easily and smoothly onto the lips and has the most delicious candy smell. Like with most lip creams I’ve found, if applied alone it can dry out the lips after a while. To resolve this I like to apply the tiniest dab of Vaseline to the lips before putting on the lip cream. That way your lips stay moisturised and prevent them from drying out.

So as I’ve said this lip cream is a bargain. It looks good on, smells great and it’s also available in three other neutral and beige tones (which I’ll definitely have to try), so for all you lip cream lovers it’s certainly worth a try.
