Barry M Fresh Face Look

 

When Barry M Launched their Fresh Face products a few months back, I did a look which I posed on Instagram Reels.  Until this day, I still use a lot of their products for quick and easy makeup looks.  Their products are lightweight and easy to work with even for first time makeup wearers.

Included in the collection are the following ---

• Barry M Fresh Face Foundation (Php499.00)
• Barry M Fresh Face Cheek and Lip Tint (Php249.00)
• Barry M Feather Brow (Php349.00)
• Barry M Fresh Face Glow Beam Illuminating Palette (Php399.00)

Price points aren't bad for the quality.  I have known Barry M since I have been a fan of their Nail Lacquers.  I also like the fact that the local distributor brought in their makeup line because I have read reviews on international blogging sites that these makeup were good!

Purple Stare Look

 

I haven’t been playing eye makeup for YEARS!

Ever since I grew …ahem..older, as you can see, I have stopped myself from using colors just because….I got lazier, and I felt that the pandemic made it harder for me to enjoy colorful make up.

I have been loving the color Purple because of BTS!  So I’ve decided to make this an Ode to me being an ARMY! 

Check out the make up products and brands I’ve used.

Products used:
- @hudabeauty Naughty Palette from @sephoraph 
- @kpalette_ph Procast Eyeliner in Black
- @imagic.ph Pencil liner in black
- @lauramercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder 
- @nipponph lashes 
- @makeupforever Blush and lipstick
- Extreme Lip Plumper from @barrym.ph deal 

Hope this gives you a quick idea on how to recreate this look, if you want to!

Nail Art Design with Barry M

 

Ah, I have been so busy to even have time to fix my nails!  I thought I have A LOT of time when I don’t need to drive my son to and from school, no need to attend events or go out in general.

Boy was I wrong!  I am not complaining though, I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to stay at home with my husband and son as I do the things I love to do at the comforts of my home!  

So I recently got new shades of Barry M Polish.  They are in pastel pink, yellow and purple!  All shades work well even when worn together.  Just take a look! 

Shades: Raspberry Ripple (Pink)
Lemon Sorbet (Yellow)
Grape Soda (purple)

Best of all, the Barry M Polishes are quick-drying, very pigmented and the brush is perfect!  I have issues on nail polish brushes that do not work well because application will fail on a no-good applicatcor!  

They were actually on 11.11 sale and they extended it until today!  Their polish priced originally at Php249.00, these are on 20% sale making it Php199.00 a bottle!  Sulit siya kasi maganda promise!

I was able to score this freebie lip gloss for FREE!   I think as of the moment of cheecking, they give free card holder for every purchase!  I wish you get them for free!

NOTD: Golden Glow Nails

 

The rainy days are really here!  It has been raining nonstop for good 6 days to almost a week and the Philippines is suffering in terms of Flood and extreme traffic.  I wish things will be better soon not only for our nation but also for other countries.  

Since I am still stuck at home - PANDEMIC + STRONG RAIN

I don’t want my home life to be “shi**y” as they say, so I’ve decided to pain my nails quickly and do a simple nail art.  I am inspired by the dainty pieces I own (rings!)  so here you go.

Base Color: GirlStuff nail lacquer in Fresh

Gold tip: Girlstuff Nail Lacquer in Vibe with Me

Sparkles: Orly Kick Glass

Base and top coat: Barry M

I am happy with the result!

Cheerful Nail Art to End 2020

 

Hi Nail Art enthusiasts!

Are there still any?  Please comment below if you still love doing nail art designs or prefer to use nail polishes as is!

As for me, I’ve toned down my nail art designs, not as colorful and cartoon-like as before but that does not mean I won’t go back to that route in the future. 

Since I am mostly busy with housework and work in general, I’ve transitioned to simpler nail art designs that can be done in 15 minutes max!  This is my newest creation to celebrate the holidays!  We are all doing ZOOM celebrations as of the moment but still I want to have gorgeous nails!

My nail art was inspried by this particular polish from Orly available locally via PureBeauty 

Then used various nail polish shades from Girlstuff, Inglot and Barry M!

Nail Art Tutorial: Accidental Nail Art

 

I haven't done my nails for so long, after fixing and organizing my nail polish collection, I was inspired to create a simple nail art because there are 2 holidays for Kyle in school (meaning, I have more time to sleep late :P)

Inspired by Barry M's newest polish shade, I used it as a base and got inspiration by making mistake!  I was supposed to create 3 dots and use a dotting tool for swirly art but the drops came out really good so I just let it be and enjoyed this carefree nail art!

Hope you visit and support my video and don't forget to subscribe to my channel as well!

All brands mentioned on photo and shade names.

Barry M Nail Paints Now In the Philippines!

The first time I laid my hands on a Barry M product was actually a nail polish which I won from a contest year 2009.  (You don't believe me?  Click HERE).

Beauty Blogging was way different back then.  I don't have access to a lot of international brands so I ended up doing a lot of "Blogger Shopping Switch" (I purchase items for an International Blogger and they shop for me in their country!)

So anyway, back to the brand story!  I have tried Barry M polishes and knew they were great!  But since the brand never arrived our shores, I just set this aside (at the back of my head wishing and hoping they'll be available locally).

Who would have thought it would happen on a crazy 2020?  I mean everything about this year has been bad so hearing such news is such a wonderful bud of leaf peeping through a dried out soil (okay, I'm too negative here but you know what I mean right?)

So a lot of you would probably shrug your shoulders and say: "Meh".

The nail polish and nail art lover in me is REJOICING! 

You can easily see it by the look of my face - pure joy as I applied a coat of Barry M Gelly Shine Nail Paint!  I got 3 shades to play with and used 2 immediately + a top coat!

Barry M Gelly Shine Nail Paints are indeed high shine (a coat is enough to see the shine!)  and it is quick drying!  I applied this on a whim while doing an unboxing video and had a busy day ahead so I washed my hand 5 minutes after I applied the top coat expecting them to be ruined!  Well, it did not!  And I am still sporting this lovely nails while typing this blog post!  

Please watch my quick nail art video and see the real SHINE and how opaque these are!
