NATURAL GLOW -BARRYM

Natural Glow - PALETTE by BARRY M 

 Oh, I brought something (hides) all my blog posts seem to be about pallets lately. So last week I was just stumbling around Boots and came across the make up stands and then found this little treasure. Such beautiful autumnal shades and for a small price of £6.49 It is such a good value. I could not put it back on the shelf. I have so many Barry M nail polishes that are just brilliant, and hardly any Barry M make up I thought I ought to start giving it a go.

The packaging is very pretty, simple and modern with a ample size mirror as you open the pallet. All the colours are so perfect for autumn which I just love. However all very subtle, you have to use a lot of the shadow to get a darker more intense shade, So therefore I am still trying to figure out if it is good for under £7.00 but I guess you do get the six shades and the very pastel pink blush. 

I have sampled the shades below for you all to see, There are two other pallets in this range. One with just pink tones called Summer tones and another with black and greys called smoking hot. I recommend you all go out and buy these!

My favourite Lipsticks for the fall/Autumn

  

My favourite Lipsticks for Autumn 

One huge thing I love about autumn is the fact I tend to be a little braver with my make up, And the first cold season without my bright red hair means I can experiment a little more. 

Before I had such problems finding dark lipsticks that didn't clash with the bright hair, Now with brunette hair I do get a lot more choice. 

So I have piled my FOUR favourite lipsticks I will be wearing a lot of the next couple months. Most of these will be the plummy/brown kind. But isn't that such a fab colour to wear this fall?

Mac - Creme Sheen in the shade Modesty.

This is such a pretty colour, Very neutral and versatile shade you can mix and match it with a lot of different make up styles. I wear this shade a lot in the spring too, its why I love the Creme sheen range from MAC,  It has a Strong pigment but has a lovely shimmery finish with a long hold. 

Kate Moss by RIMMEL in shade 04 - Rossetto 

Such a autumn colour! Its a lovely dark purple, One of the darkest shades I own. I tend to wear this with very little eye makeup, I don't like the whole Goth effect it can give with two much eye makeup. But for date nights and a little black dress this lipstick is perfect for it.

The only downside is that it doesn't have the same staying power as other lipsticks and can look patchy if you haven't applied enough to your lips. 

This was a gift from someone.. a VERY new brand to me

Helen E lipstick in shade Raspberry.

Now this little treasure is a find! It has a much smoother application then MAC and a lovely finish with very high pigment. It is a wine colour with a hint of both red and purple. However once on the lips it almost comes out with a little brown tint. I cannot rave about this lipstick without you guys buying one.

This will no doubt be my favourite for the autumn/winter months.

Mac lipstick from the Satin Range the Runaway Red 

My favourite red out of my collection, and one end up using most of the time. It has a smooth, silky application and really does last hours. If I'm going out sometimes I would apply this over the helen E - Raspberry and it becomes such a deep colour. 

Have you got any favourites for autumn?
