Imperfection Correction

Here at Barry M HQ we are all very excited, this is something we have been working on for ages, something that has been missing from our make-up bags...and now it is finally here...THE CONCEALER!

Cleverly named (if I do say so myself) our Imperfection Correction concealer pen is perfect for everything! I now have one product to cover my spots AND hide my bags! It conceals and illuminates, and all in one easy to use brush pen.

It comes in 3 shades:

  1. Ivory for yellowy, pale skin tones
  2. Almond for brown, more olive skin
  3. Peach for pink/rosey coloured skin.
And there is some science: "the anti-ageing properties include a UV filter to protect against UV rays and extract of White Tea which acts as an anti-oxidant."

You can get yours now on our website for £5.95 but they will be in Superdrug mid-April. What are you waiting for?!

Ice cream shade nail paints - hot off the press!

Spring is definitely upon us, so we decided it was time to let you all know what our new Nail Paints are going to be...and here they are, delicious, soft shades of fabulous colours...our Ice Cream range!

np306 is Blueberry Ice Cream
np307 is Lemon Ice Cream
np308 is Berry Ice Cream
np309 is Strawberry Ice Cream

Don't forget our Mint Green from last year which is the perfect compliment to this range and a cheap way to copy Chanel's infamous Jade.

Go get yours now, I will defintiely be sporting the lilac, apparently it is going to be huge this summer and I love to follow a trend! Sad I know! But why not get all of them at only £2.95 each! Here is a clearer (but nowhere near as fun!) picture of the range:
You can get them on our website now, they will be in Superdrug and Boots in a few weeks.

Win a make-up lesson!!

We have been talking to our customers a lot lately and have realised that most girls struggle with how to apply make-up without looking like a clown! I know, I was one of those before I started working here - hopefully I have learnt something!

So we have partnered with our friends at The Glass Slipper to do a competition for you to win a FREE make-up lesson for you and 3 friends. It is a brilliant package! Basically, an expert make-up artist from The Glass Slipper will visit you and advise on how to apply the best Barry M make-up to suit your colouring. Check out more info on The Glass Slipper and exclusive discounts they are offering Barry M customers: http://www.barrym.com/lookz/the-glass-slipper.asp

Not only that, you will each get a free Barry M make-up kit worth £50 to recreate those fabulous looks you have been shown! This prize is seriously amazing - it's worth £500!!!

So enter now on our website, it's just a simple multiple choice question: http://www.barrym.com/fun/competition.asp

I hope you like this, we always want to hear from you, so if you have any other ideas for great competitions or prizes please let me know...

Also, we are in the process of creating simple video tutorials of how to use all of our products which we will put on the website. I learnt a lot just from editing them! Barry M products are easy to use, but I suppose it's like everything - it's easy once you know how!

So don't we all love a chance to win something?! Well we have decided to have a constant flow of competitions over the next few months...

As you may know, we work with a great girl band called Robots in Disguise, they look fab, they sound fab, and they are inspiring business women with it! They are doing a few gigs around the country in March and April so watch this space for exclusive free tickets to these. http://www.barrym.com/fun/robots-in-disguise.asp  (Oh and do you recognise the lip stick colour?!)
