REVIEW - Barry M 'Vintage Rose' Lip Paint

'Vintage Rose' was released a few months back along with three other shades ('Pink Ribbon', 'Sunset' and 'Pink Suede') right in time for Autumn/ Winter. When I saw all four of them together I was sort of surprised - I'm used to Barry M releasing playful, bright, fun shades, not 'grown up' colours! I'm sure the colours would fit right in among a NARS, Bobbi Brown or Estee Lauder counter. I whittled my choice down to 'Vintage Rose' and it wasn't long before it was at home in my lipstick drawer.

'Vintage Rose' is a cool, slightly brown toned pink which leans purple. A wearable, neutral shade with a bit of a punch. I'd say this would definitely suit cool tones best, though I can get away with it with warm toned skin. I've been opting for this colour instead of my usual MAC 'Honeylove' lately, just because it's a far more Wintery! I'm pretty sure it would make for a lovely cream blush, too :)

Anyone who has ever bought a few Barry M lipsticks knows that they're a bit hit and miss - either dry and clumpy or creamy and smooth, I'm glad to report that 'Vintage Rose' is the latter of the two. Average longevity for any cream/ satin lipstick, though I couldn't fairly judge since my lips are practically perma-attached to a tea cup!

Priced at £4.49, available from Superdrug, Boots and Barry M's website.
