Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick - Rose Bud!

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick - 'Rose Bud' - Boots (not available online) - £1.99

There are a few other shades in this collection about 5/6 if i remember correctly. So i'm sure everyone can find a colour they like!

Packaging: As you can see from the picture above, the lipstick is contained in a white plastic circular tube with the Natural Collection logo printed. It is very light and does feel quite cheap but what can you expect for £1.99! For the price overall i think the packaging is good and i love the colour white so it suits me...

Colour: From the lip swatches you can tell this lipstick is bright, mid-toned pink. It is such a nice 'doll like' pink yet it isn't in your face bright it is still very suitable for day time use! It just gives your lips a nice, glossy (not glossy like you have lipstick on - just 'shiny' as the name suggests) hint of pink! It looks very healthy and adds a nice pop of colour to your makeup without being too dramatic - for this reason i think it is suitable for both day and night. I also think this will suit both light and dark skintones.

Consistency - As the name suggest it looks, applies and feels pretty moisturising and adds a nice light reflecting shine to the lips! I prefer lipstick textures like this than matt just because they make your lips look much more plump and healthy (personal opinion). The lipstick applies opaque in probably 2 layers if you want it more bright or 1 if you'd like it a little less obvious.

Length of Wear - I'd day this lasted 2hours without eating/drinking and obviously less if you do eat/drink. But, because of the consistency it is expectable that is will last less time than say a matte lipstick would. Never the less for the price it is very affordable so i didn't worry too much about re-applying.

Overall it isn't the best lipstick in the world but for £2 it is definitely brilliant for in the day time at college or if your just popping out as it's a beautiful, flattering colour and makes my lips look so healthy! So i'd recommend you try it if your looking for a cheap lipstick for everyday use when you're just nipping out and don't mind reapplying every few hours!

p.s - a few days after taking these pictures the lipstick actually broke so i fixed it and put it in the fridge to set and it has somehow got lost. i don't know how.. it's a bit of a mystery..
