I'll admit it I haven't bought Barry M makeup for quite some time now, but when I spotted two of their latest realises I just knew I had to get my hands on them because for the price they look amazing and after trying them out I can confirm that they both are winners in my book. Barry M have really hit the ball out of the park with these two releases and if you have £10 to spend this week I definitely recommend you give these two products a chance as they won't disappoint you.
First up is the Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit for £6.49 which is a complete bargain if you ask me (I think you can get this a tad cheaper if you shop around as I picked mine up on special offer for £5.49). For the price you get 3 perfect shades to contour, bronze & highlight the face amazingly well. All three powders feel soft to the touch and have an almost silky texture. Not only that but they are extremely pigmented without any shimmer in sight which can be hard to come buy in drugstore contour products like these. The highlighting shade is perfect to use for you under eye concealer and it kind of reminds me of the Ben Nye Banana powder which I don't have but have been lusting after for quite some time now. It's also great to highlight the face in the most natural way, if you are going for a day-time/minimal makeup look as it brightens without any shimmer. The middle shade is a warm toned bronze shade and I usually dust this lightly over the areas of the face that the sun would naturally hit. It really adds the perfect warm glow to the face and helps me look a little sun kissed even though I am so pale. The last shade of the bunch is the best in my opinion as it's such an amazing cool toned shade which is perfect for conturing and for the price this kind of shade really is impossible to find. So to end it all I have been seriously impressed with this palette and don't think you can get much better for the price.
Next up is this gorgeous pastel lilac shade, Lap Of Honour, from the Speedy Quick Dry Nail Range. This is a perfect shade for this time of the year and two light coats is all you need to get the stunning shade to show up on your nails. What I love most about this is that it actually does dry super fast as it claims to do, I was pretty shocked at how fast my nails dried. So if you're lazy like me and hate waiting for your nails to dry you need to pick one of these up because you will be pleasantly surprised. The only thing to point out is that the shades in this range are all pastel based so if you love your bright/dark colours you won't find them here. I am a big fan of Barry M nail polishes, as they are affordable and there's always a great shade range to choose from but my one little niggle is that the brush is usually quite small and annoying when you are painting your nails, However with this new range the brush is much wider making application a breeze, so another plus for me.
