You lovely lot know how much I love Barry M. On a previous blog post I told you how much I loved the matte foundation that they do, So when I try something new from the range and I love it I totally want to shout it from the roof tops.
I have tried the Matte lipstick before from the range in a previous blog post and completely loved it so when I received the MATTE ME UP LIP KIT as a free gift from Superdrug ( if you spend £7 on any Barry M products in store or online till Tuesday) I was keen to give it a go.
I love a good Matte lip, in fact it's the only type of lip look I go for. Usually I go for a nude shade but in a lipstick formula, so I was keen to try the liquid lip paint and liner as it's called on the box.
The Barry M lip kits are a complete dupe for the Kylie Jenner lip kits that are so popular at the moment. I can't compare the formula of the two because I have never used the Kylie Jenner one but the packaging and style of the product seems the same. The little box comes with the lip paint in a normal lipgloss tube with applicator and a lip pencil. Completely the same as the Kylie one, but a little bit cheaper. Like I said this was a free gift, so they only had one shade which is "blow out" not a usual colour I would go for but I was keen to give it a go....A few months back they did release the same lipkit but in more shades but these were a limited edition so the kits aren't available anymore and I never got to try one before in a shade that was more suiting to myself. Knowing what I know now I would have bought one but I'm always wise after the event. 
Barry M do sell the Matte Me Up lip paint as a stand alone product without the box & liner pencil for £4.99 and there other shades more suited to a nude lip product fan like me or those of you who aren't so boring with lip colour like I am there are plenty of other shades to choose from.
I normally don't like using lip pencils but like the idea that if you do like using them you get a complete colour match in these kits as I'm not really a fan of using different shades for lipsticks and lip liners.
I decided to use just the lip paint and not the liner as I wouldn't normally use one and I'm not very good at application with lip liners anyway.
The lip paint went on well and was easy to apply with the wand. I found only one coat is needed.
It took about 2 minutes, ( maybe less) to set fully and set to a lovely shade.
Its so comfortable to wear and you really don't feel you have anything on your lips which is a good point for some but not for people who like the feel of a lip product actually on there lips. I found if you apply a lip balm over the top if you have dry lips or like to feel a product this does the job and doesn't effect the look of the lip product...
Now for the good bit.. you can't get it off... after 6 hours and two cups of tea later the lip paint was still going strong and I didn't need to reapply but if I had it does top up really nicely. I am that impressed I have purchased another colour abit more to my taste. The one I choose was the shade "on the scene". At £4.99 these are sold separately without the lip liner....This is a more neutral Nude shade and definitely more me, without the lip liner matt pencil which I wouldn't use anyway.
The "on the scene" shade of the Matte me up liquid lip didn't last quite as long as the "blow out" shade but I put it down to "blow out" being a darker shade but you still get a good 4 hours wear out of it and the formula feels the same as each other and it does top up very well.
Definitely the best lip paint or Matte liquid lip I have ever tried and a brilliant dupe if you want to save money and not buy the Kylie Jenner one.
If you are looking for a good lip product I can definitely recommend this and if you love this as much as me I would love to here from you.
Also have you  tried the Kylie Jenner one and compared the two, which one do you think is better...
Happy Matte Lip Kit Shopping
