This review is going to be on the Natural Collection Lipsticks. Natural Collection is a makeup line by Boots. Their products are inexpensive priced at just £1.99, and they also offer deals such as 3 products for £5. Natural Collection products are decent quality for the price you pay, and I personally think they are useful for if you are just starting out with makeup and don't want to spend too much money on high end products. I also own a tinted moisturiser, an eye shadow duo and a pressed powder from this makeup line, and I think that they all work very well considering the small price you pay.
Today I will be reviewing three different shades. Pink Mallow; a gorgeous bubblegum pink on the lighter side, Cherry Red; A bright, typical red lipstick with wonderful pigmentation and Berry Blush; A sheer, frosty berry purple lipstick with pink undertones.
Pink Mallow
I think the name "Pink Mallow" represents this lipstick well. I would describe the colour as a medium bubblegum pink, perfect for lighter skin tones. This lipstick is very pigmented, and opaque in about two layers on your lips. The formula is creamy but not too glossy, the perfect combination between matte and glossy. Personally I think this lipstick is long lasting, however it does feel quite dry when wearing it. I would recommend moisturising your lips before application, to prolong the lasting power and ensure your lips don't dry up too much. If you were to be wearing this lipstick all day, you would definitely have to re-apply. This lipstick is definitely my favourite out of all 3.
Cherry Red
The name of this lipstick definitely describes the colour well. This lipstick is opaque in just one layer and it glides on very smoothly. It is long lasting, but again drying, and I need to use lip balm before applying it. I have owned this particular lipstick for several months now but only ever warn it twice for stage makeup. The colour is very bright and stands out amongst the crowd. I am personally not confident enough to wear this colour out, but I certainly applaud you if you are! This is again a creamy lipstick which is not too glossy, however I love the look of a red lipgloss over the top.
Berry Blush
This particular lipstick is very different to the previous two I have just reviewed. It is a frosty, shear purple lipstick with gorgeous berry pink undertones. The lipstick glides on smoothly to your lips, but it takes a few layers more to become completely opaque. Its on the darker side as apposed to a bright purple colour. I personally love the shearer yet shimmery look of this lipstick, however I am dying to try and layer it over different lipstick colours and try it with a gloss. This lipstick also needs re-application after wearing it for a little while, and when it wears off you can feel the sparkle on your lips. I think this is the perfect Autumn lipstick colour, especially for those who don't like to wear very bright and dark colours like myself.
In conclusion, I think these lipsticks are wonderful quality for the low price and the vast choice of colours in wonderful for an affordable makeup brand. The pigmentation is pretty good on all three and I would definitely recommend them all.
