Natural Collection Lipsticks

Natural Collection Lipsticks - £1.99

 

Natural Collection are a brand I was never really drawn to that much in the past, I never used to hear much about them and as they are a Boots exclusive only brand, and if you're not near a Boots then you wouldn't be able to get hold of anything, so that is a slight negative. But having looked into Natural Collection a bit more in the last few years I am growing to really like them.

 

One of the things I absolutely love about Natural Collection is the price point. For example each of these lipsticks is £1.99, which is such a bargain and especially for people on a budget. These are perfect for maybe teenagers or students, or just people who don't want to spend a load of money on make-up but want decent products. Their 3 for £5.00 deal they always have on in Boots is not to be ignored.

 

I also like the clean white packaging design that they have across all their products, but you can tell they are cheap and I suppose you get what you pay for. You can hear the lipstick rattling in the tube and the twisty bit at the bottom can be too stiff too, as is the case for one of these lipsticks that I have pictured, and then on the other one the twisty bit is too loose. But it doesn't matter too much, the fact that they are so cheap makes up for it I suppose.

 

 The two colours that I have here are Sorbet which is the peachy colour and Rose Bud which is the pinky colour which a hint of gold shimmer in it too. I would describe Rose Bud as a slight front finish but not overly frosty at all, it's not that noticeable. And the Sorbet colour I would describe as a lustre sort of sheer finish. As you can see i've worn these quite a bit and the top of the lipsticks look rather strange! They do look like normal lipsticks when you buy them, honest.

 

Rose Bud is more pigmented and get a good colour pay off pretty easily, whereas it takes longer to build up a good colour with the Sorbet one as it is sheer like I said. Nevertheless they are both very moisturising and comfortable to wear and they actually last pretty well on the lips, a good four hours or so, especially when it comes to Rose Bud. I'd recommend Rose Bud over Sorbet personally just because of the lack of pigmentation that Sorbet gives.

 

 

If you are looking for a good lipstick from the drugstore/high street I would definitely consider going and taking a look at the Natural Collection lipsticks, for the price they are very good and the range of colours is very decent too. They are very much overlooked products and deserve more love than I think they get.

 

I couldn't find a direct link to the lipsticks on the Boots website, but i've put a link to the Natural Collection range as a whole instead.

Natural Collection Solo Eyeshadow - Barley

Natural Collection Solo Eyeshadow - Barley - £1.79

 

Believe it or not this is the only single eyeshadow I actually own in my makeup collection, I do have some duos and trios but no other single eyeshadows apart from this one. I'm much more of a palette kind of girl, but I had some Boots vouchers for money off Natural Collection back in the summer so I thought i'd try out one of their eyeshadows as I was drawn to this colour.

 

 This is the colour Barley and despite all the eyeshadow palettes that I own, none of them contain a colour like this, it's almost like a yellow champagne colour, or a light gold with a shimmer in it. Barley is a great name for it. I also think this could potentially be a dupe for the Mac eyeshadow called Rice Paper. I don't own that eyeshadow so I cannot do a comparison, but I think they do look pretty similar.

 

 

What I love about the Natural Collection eyeshadows are the quality for the price, they are well pigmentated and go on very well, they also last well during the day too. I even like the simple white packaging, although I wish the lid was a bit more secure. It hasn't fallen off yet but I always feel like if I chucked it in a makeup bag that it would become loose.

 

Having said that I think this would be great to take travelling or on a short trip somewhere as it is so small so it wouldn't take up much room.

 

This eyeshadow does get slightly neglected in my make-up collection as, like I said, I tend to reach for my palettes, and this one just gets lost amongst my other products. But I need to bring this out and use it now as looking at the swatch it really is pretty.

 

For the price of £1.79 you really can't complain, it's simply amazing that a good quality eyeshadow can be created without charging the earth for it.

 

I'd recommend you pick up one of these to try, or more if you feel like it. Boots often have Natural Collection products on 3 for £5.00 so it's a good opportunity to pick up some new products, all of which i've tried so far i've been very pleased with.

 

Natural Collection is only avaliable in Boots, and the eyeshadows
