Barry M Experience

Hey girls (& guys) :)

So last Thursday (12th November) I placed an online order at Barry M using the 20% off code. I ordered the Foundation Creme in shade 2 Pale, and the blush in Terracotta. I had read on their site that they plan to get your items to you within two working days. But by the time I was on my way to see the boyfriend my order still hadn't come. When I arrived home yesterday I saw my parcel sitting there waiting for me. I looked at the postage stamp and it wasn't posted out until the Monday (16th November), I don't know if I'm just being picky but when I read on a website that I should receive my package within two days I expect it in those 2 or 3 days not nearly a week after I placed my order . But anyway at least it arrived.


So I ripped open the package and I was a bit taken aback with the foundation packaging, it looks very cheap with the gold lid and everything (you can see from the poorly lighted picture) I much preferred the little pot they used to sell it in. Same with the blush packaging it could be much better. But I suppose that's why they can afford to sell their products at fairly low prices. I haven't used either of the products yet but when I do, I will do another post on their performance.


Swatches are below:



Thanks for reading :)

  1. Oh that's so annoying, I agree the packaging isn't that great, I prefer Sleek to be honest as it's similar prices but better packaging x

  2. Ohh I agree about the delivery, I wouldn't have been too happy with that, but with the price I suppose you get what you pay for sometimes.

    Let us know how the foundation is! :)
