High Street make up is pushing all my buttons at the moment and Barry M is one brand that can do no wrong in my eyes.They have recently brought out 3 new palettes that include 6 eye shadows and a blush which you can use to create various looks with and are a great palette for travel.
I have two of the palettes (the third will be mine soon) and I have really enjoyed using them.
The Natural Glow Shadow & Blush Palette was first on my list, being a neutral lover I had to give this a whirl. The palette contains 3 satin lighter brown eye shades and 3 darker brown, more shimmery shadows as well as a baby pink blush.
The Glamour Puss Shadow & Blush Palette has more smokey colours in and gives you more of an evening look. It it includes 3 silver/grey shades in different tones, a purple, a dark brown and a champagne color that is perfect for highlighting. The blush in this palatte is bright pink and really packs a punch.
All shades have fairly good pigmentation but if you are going to compare them to a brand like Sleek, then Sleek will win. Saying that, these apply smoothly and can be built up well. Over a primer they last all day without fading or creasing.
The blushes apply smoothly onto the cheeks, give a good amount of color and don't disappear after an hour or two.
The packaging is made from sturdy cardboard and has a large mirror inside the lid. It also comes with those sponge applicators that I always throw out as I prefer to use a brush.
For £6.49 these palettes are great value for money. They are perfect for travelling, also if you are just starting out in a make up they would be a great palette to add to your collection.
You can pick these up in Boots or Superdrug now.
