I may have mentioned this before - I love Barry M cosmetics. I luuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrve them! Particularly the nail paint range. In fact I adore it so much I felt a tribute post was necessary.

I thought I better do a quick Google search to find
out a bit more about the history of the company and the man himself. Founded in 1982 by Barry Mero. A cosmetics retailer who started out trading at his mother's market stall in London. A savvy gent with an eye for colour, he had soon realised that the big cosmetics brand were offering nothing for the goths, punks, drag queens, artists, rebellious teenagers and all round lovers of colour out there... Er... then he conquered the world!
And look he's so cute. Like somebody's granddad
When searching I found this interview from The Guardian. I'm an even bigger fan after reading it. What a cool guy!
Of course other brands are available
But Barry M you will always have my heart!

I love Barry M too! I've always wondered who the "Barry" was, so thank you for doing the research for me! The lip glosses are great too, I just bought one recently and it smells so yummy!
