July 27, 2019Very concerned that recent purchases are made in china. Questioned Barry M and they were very defensive, saying it was only the packaging made in china (since when does a small product display where the packaging is made?). Not convinced the company remains kosher so disposed of acquisitions (recycling and bin), there are other companies out there who don’t sacrifice ethics for profit. Just trading with china gives out the message that you don’t mind the fact that they skin animals alive/hack them to pieces whilst still alive/imprison thousands of people denying them basic rights to trial. They might not mind but I do so Barry M consigned to the likes of the L’Oreal pit.

January 24, 2018Thanks so much for this list. I found it after buying the That’s How I Roll waterproof mascara thinking all BarryM products were vegan then being informed in a FB vegan group that this was not the case. Vegan for 3 days = rookie error! Anyway, thanks again, have shared with friends and will be following your blog from now on! Xx
