Product Review - Natural Collection Lipstick in Raspberry


Hi everyone :)
If you're looking for a new lipstick to add to your collection this spring, may I suggest an often overlooked brand(by me anyway), Natural Collection. I picked up one of their lipsticks in the shade Raspberry, the other day on a whim and I'm so glad I did!


I normally go for pink lip colours, or pinky red, so which shade I picked up was an easy choice for me. As soon as I swatched this I fell in love with the colour and knew it had to be mine! :)


This product only cost me £1.99 and to be honest the low price is reflected in the packaging(but not in the product thankfully!), the case is white plastic, which I don't mind, my only problem is that the bullet seems to move around a bit and rattle. But I can't complain seeing as the product is great and it's only cheap after all. 


I'd describe the colour of this lipstick as a creamy, rich, medium/dark pink. 

Besides the lovely colour, what I love about this lipstick is the creamy, moisturising texture. I really wasn't expecting this from a cheap lipstick, especially after trying out the MUA lipsticks and not enjoying them that much. 

Summary
Pros - Creamy texture, gorgeous colour, pigmented, cheap
Cons - Cheap packaging(but can't really whinge)
Mark out of 10 - 9/10

So anyway, that's my thoughts.
Has anyone else tried Natural Collection lipsticks?
If so, what did you think?
Thanks for reading,

Small Boots Haul


Hi everyone :)
Today I'm just going to show you a little haul from my last trip to boots. 

The first thing that I picked up was some No7 eyelash curlers because the only eyelash curlers I have are some really cheap rubbish ones so I thought it was time for a new pair. These retail for £7.25 but I used a £5 off No7 voucher so they were a bargain for only £2.25!

I then picked up some earrings that I've had my eye one for a while and they were reduced from £7.50 to £2.50! I really love the leaf earrings and the butterfly studs, I wore the leaf earrings and one of the studs last night. I'm not sure if the other two bigger pairs of earrings are really my style but I'll definitely try and wear them with something or other. 

From No7's summer make up range I picked up these, they are four jumbo eye crayons. They retail for £13 but using a £5 off No7 voucher I got them for £8, so £2 per pencil isn't a bad deal!
The colours are (from L-R) Metallic Bronze, Metallic Grey, Cornflower Blue and Hazy Green. I'll be doing a review on these soon. :)

And last but not least is this lipstick from Natural Collection. I bought this in the shade Raspberry and it was only £1.99! I've never bought a Natural Collection lipstick before and so far I am very impressed with it and there will definitely be a review coming up!
But for now here's a cheeky swatch :)
