This really has restored my faith in lip glosses after a few disasters that I will not mention...</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Barry M Dazzle Dust in Mushroom</strong></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbxKjaMdEuAAoBbLKbdYVi2tQu6EMpy79pK5Fs8WHUcAJ9keTBq8FQsGaGruOKn0XzkZSHnUQ_U8uYeRkv1KO4mgEJ9yIoiZBMmwxtFLr7uOhmLER3fD0ioMzHvT0Llk3dZgcNoMk51Jky/s1600/DSCN4302.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbxKjaMdEuAAoBbLKbdYVi2tQu6EMpy79pK5Fs8WHUcAJ9keTBq8FQsGaGruOKn0XzkZSHnUQ_U8uYeRkv1KO4mgEJ9yIoiZBMmwxtFLr7uOhmLER3fD0ioMzHvT0Llk3dZgcNoMk51Jky/s320/DSCN4302.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A lot of love for Mr Barry M today :)</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I never really realised the beauty of this eyeshadow colour until this summer, as in winter I feel it doesn't show its true magnificence.
