I've been spending far far too much time in Boots recently, mostly because of Natural Collection. With all the items being under £2 it is an extremely affordable range of makeup. These lipsticks were £1.95 each and had the added bonus of a 3 for £5 offer, only a saving of around 80p but its nice to see that even though they're already cheap they don't mind adding in some extra value from time to time.
Now, onto the lipsticks themselves, I've been searching various blogs and have not found a great deal of swatches for these. The quality isn't the same as a high end Lipstick but they hold their own and there's a nice colour range too.
Bare lips + Astor lip Balm Base
Coral Shimmer Moistureshine Lipstick (satin) - Like the name suggests it's a coral with gold shimmer.
Sand Castle Sheer Natural Lipstick (sheer) - Unlike the other lipsticks this is a sheer cover with no shimmer, it tints the lips with a tinted balm like texture. Has a glossy finish and is a light brown toned pink.
Candy Mist MoistureShine Lipstick (frost) - A very light barbie pink, the frost makes it harder to wear than others as it shows up lip texture in fine detail.
Apple Blossom MoistureShine Lipstick (satin) - This is the most matte like lipstick out of the bunch. It's a nude peachy pink that applies more opaquely than other colours. The only downside to this is that again it is quite hard to wear, shows up any imperfections and can wear off in an uneven fashion.
NC Lipstick Swatches (l-r) - Coral Shimmer, Sweet Pea, Sand Castle, Apple Blossom, Candy Mist
Overall I think these are great for the price, they are lovely colours and if applied with care they do provide a lovely finish. This is only a small selection of Natural Collection's lipstick range and I intend to get more, I'll make no secret of it; I'm a fan! But if anyone has tried them then what do you think?
