Miniture Barry M Haul

On a recent trip into town after work I decided to have (what I thought would be) a quick look in Superdrug.. However, after around half an hour browsing the different beauty products & being successfully side tracked by the Barry M offers - I found myself wandering out of the shop with a little bag of goodies.

Oops...

The first item that magically ended up in my hand was the gorgeous Natural Glow Palette.. 

I've been wanting to expand my eye shadow pallet collection for a while now, and couldn't resit this Barry M  pallet. The product contains two matte shadows, four shadows with a slight shimmer and a light pink blush. The colours are a selection of gorgeous soft pastels that are perfect for spring/summer & the packaging is simple but pretty with the rose gold lettering adding a touch of elegance.
Bonus - the mirror is also the perfect size for when your travelling around & don't want to carry lots of separate items.

I've had my eye on a couple of the more high-end pallets recently but I'm really happy with this find. I can't wait to create different make-up looks with this item & think it would be perfect for both day time & evening wear.

The next items that were accidentally purchased were two of Barry M's Nail Paints. 

I've been a massive fan of the Barry M nail Varnish's for years.. Right back to the days of the crackling top coat  (hands up if you thought that effect was incredible too..).

The first nail varnish I picked up was one of Barry M's silk effect varnishes in the shade Pearl. I've heard a few rumours within the blogging world that white nails are going to be a popular option for Spring/Summer 2015 & it's easy to see why. The pale white colour offers the same clean and fresh look that a nude polish offers whilst being a little more on vibrant side. 

I'm also excited to try see exactly how the "Silk" effect looks once applied. I'm imagining a cross between shimmer & gloss - so let's hope this doesn't disappoint! 

The second nail paint I picked up was one of the Gelly Hi-Shine effects in the shade Guava. Whilst being the polar opposite shade to my first choice I felt this would be perfect for a summer statement nail - especially after a winter of dark nails. 

Even though the Gelly Hi-shine range has been on the shelves for a while now it's something I'm yet to try out. I love the idea of gel overlays (there's something about a perfectly glossy nail that just looks amazing) but the thought of my nails being ruined is something that fills my stomach with dread - So I'm hoping this will offer a cheap at home alternative.

Even though this was only a mini haul there's just something about treating myself to a few new beauty items that always makes me happy (simple things & simple minds? Probably.)

I'm sure I'll "accidentally" wander into Superdrug or Boots again soon for another browse of what beauty products are on offer. 

Which are your favourite Barry M products?
