Natural Collection isn't a brand that I've paid much attention to in the past but I was browsing Boots lately when I noticed a sign saying that every product was under £2 and decided to add a new lipstick to my collection. At this price, it was definitely worth trying!
After paying just £1.89 for a lipstick, I wasn't expecting much so imagine my shock when I applied it for the first time and discovered that it's quite possibly the best red lipstick I have EVER tried. Yes, really, and I own a lot of red lipsticks.
The colour is a very true to colour blue toned cherry red, perfect for my pale skin and dark hair. It's very pigmented although I wouldn't say the product delivers on the shine it promises, and I'd actually describe it as being semi-matte.
The formula is soft, but not overly creamy, making it easy to apply. I often find that red lipsticks can be too creamy, making it difficult to achieve a neat application. This one takes seconds to apply and there's no need for a lip liner as unlike a lot of my other lipsticks, it doesn't bleed and you won't end up with lipstick smeared all over your face. Just me? Oh. I suffer from dry lips, however this is actually really moisturising and doesn't dry them out at all. It has great staying power too - proven by the night out I wore it on, where I drank lots, didn't re-apply once and woke up the next morning with my lips still stained red.
It really is that good! If you like red lipstick and have a spare £2 (!!) then you definitely need to try this! I'll definitely be trying out more products from Natural Collection.
Wow that's a great color for you!!!
ReplyDeletethank you! :) x
Deleteyou have just convinced me to buy this on my lunch break tomorrow - as if i need ANOTHER red lipstick! x
ReplyDeleteoh i'm the same - the last thing i need is ANOTHER red lipstick haha! but for less than £2.... ;) x
DeleteI have an addiction to red lipsticks, and I love blue toned ones as they suit my skin tone better. I will be purchasing soon!

i actually liked the shape of it and found it easier too apply and get a neat line around the edges, it'll probably wear down really quickly though! x
DeleteAmazing, what a bargain :D
ReplyDeleteAh this is such a gorgeous shade of red, suits you dead well!
ReplyDeleteI do love Natural Collection but never thought about trying their lipsticks, will have to peruse Boots tomorrow!
xo

ReplyDeleteThis lipstick is actually the only red I own but I love it so much that I've never needed to get another. Such a bargain too
-x-
it's definitely my new go-to colour - think my other reds will be neglected from now on! x
DeleteThis colour looks so good on you! I never look at natural collection but might have to now. Only recently started wearing lipstick so be good to find some cheapie ones to try out! x
ReplyDeleteIt seriously looks amazing! I've never bought anything from Natural Collection before, but this will definitely be bought next time I go to Boots! XO.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely shade of Red! I've been using the £1 MUA lipsticks and been really impressed with them, I'll have to give natural collection a try!

i wasn't too keen on the MUA ones I tried, they didn't seem very pigmented and were all quite oily? i definitely recommend this one though! x
DeleteAbsolutely agree! This is the only shade that suits my skin tone and it also is unbelivably cheap!
ReplyDeletei always thought they'd be really crap! looks gooood on you though i might invest my £2 in one ha x
ReplyDeleteme too! the MUA ones for £1 are crap and put me off cheap lipsticks! x
DeleteThat colour looks really good on you! I have never thought about trying natural collection but will definitely take a look! x
ReplyDeletei bought this to add colour when i went out on my birthday; one of my best buys. i've actually been wondering whether i should wear it out tonight-it must be a sign :P x
ReplyDeleteThis looks great on you!

Aw Natural Collection used to be where everyone saved their lunch money up to buy from! Apparently one of their blushers is really good-might have to have a browse next time I'm in boots! x
ReplyDeleteRimmel was what I used to use my pocket money for, I'd literally never used a Natural Collection product until this! What blusher is it? x
