Barry M Lip Boss High Powered Lip Gloss - 5 Thinking Outside The Box

If you ask me what my favourite cheap lip gloss has been over the last 8 years or so my answer would hands down be Barry M's collection.
I've talked about them countless times, recommended them to countless people and bought a countless number of tubes myself, they are products that have just constantly been there for me to grab whenever.

So seeing a NEW lipgloss collection being released from my old faithful brand made me very happy indeed. With closer inspection I think this may be replacing the current lip glosses... but don't quote me on that.
The reason I think they might be replacing them is that this is very similar to my usual 'toffee' lip gloss from Barry M.
But don't get me wrong - this doesn't mean I'm not disappointed in the slightest!

There are 5 glosses in the new Lip Boss range, from a bold red to a pretty coral, so there's got to be at least one you'll be a fan of.
This is shade 5 and it's called called 'Thinking Outside The Box' - all the Lip Boss' have cute names which I love as just a number is boring right?!

The packaging is cute, bigger than the other glosses which is good as it possibly means more product and it comes with a handy doe-foot applicator. (the best type in my opinion for lip glosses.)
The gloss itself is super smooth and not sticky in the slightest. The scent of this particular shade is toffee, so sweet and yummy, I literally cannot stop applying it.
I'm really looking forward to trying out the rest fo the collection, I'm hoping one of them is a bubblegum flavour like the older ones - that is one of my ultimate favs ever.

The Lip Boss' are priced at £4.49 each, total bargains in my opinion, this beauty is already in my handbag so I can reapply it wherever I may be.

4 Fab Drugstore Nudes

The nude lip is something which has, among other things, taken the beauty world by storm over the last 6 months.... did you notice?
 With Kylie Jenner being the role models we all look up to ... obvs, subtle nudes/browns and awesome lipliners have been flying off the shelves!
90s nudes were something I thought I would never see me rocking but with a few practice go's I've decided I love the look and alongside my favourite MAC baby Velvet Teddy I've invested in some newbies and dug out some old classics! Here's 4 of my favs!
Left to right :

Bourjois Velvet Rouge Edition - Nude-ist
I love this gorgeous matte colour! Compared to the others it looks more pinky/red but on the lips it is a gorgeous dark nude colour. These bourjois liquid lipsticks stay on SO well, for hours and hours without any re-application! If you looking for a product with great stay-time this collection is brilliant.

Maybelinne Colour Drama - Nude Perfection
This is currently my newest lip product I've bought. I have been looking at it for MONTHS now and at only £4.99 I have no idea why I haven't picked it up sooner. I have to say out of the 4 this is probably my favourite for quality and colour. It's a little darker than velvet teddy but if you're looking for a cheap alternative for a good new - this is the one.

Barry M Lipgloss - Toffee
The classic now.... I could not tell you how many of these I've been through since I was a teenager. This used to be my everyday lip colour, I was obsessed and probably applied it 90 times a day! It smells amazing too, it's about time I bought a new one. It's perfect to use of the top of Nude Perfection aswell.

Rimmel Apocalips - Nude Eclipse
The lightest of the four now. This one, for me, is definitely one to wear with a lipliner underneath. I think without it, it's slightly too light for my colouring but with it makes a gorgeous everyday colour! I love the rimmel apocalips and basically own them all, the best cheap liquid lipstick, they last and have an awesome range of colours!
