Natural Collection Makeup Haul

I have been meaning for a while now to do a haul of products from the Boots Natural Collections range and I finally got around to it. It's so cheap I have to admit I really wasn't expecting much, but have been pleasantly surprised.
First of all I will list the products I bought:

• ShineAway Foundation in Walnut
• Blushed Cheeks in Dusty Pink
• Cream Blusher in Naked Glow
• Eye Liner in Black
• LashBuild Mascara in Black
• Corrector Stick in Green
• Moisture Shine Lipstick in Berry Blush

All of these products are £1.99 each; there is currently an offer on that is 3 for £5 so I got 6 then couldn't resist one more to test out.

At first I used the foundation, which is really nothing special. I applied it with my fingers (after applying a base coat of moisturiser to keep the foundation on for longer) and it didn't work out well at all - it was uneven, patchy and had streak marks from where my fingers were moving the product around. I re-tried though, determined not to give up, and used a foundation brush the second time around applying small amounts of product at a time and it worked a treat. It has very light coverage, but I think that's nice in summer, don't want to be caked in make-up.

Next I tried out the powder blusher (Blushed Cheeks), applied it with a blusher brush and it was ok. I applied the cream blusher to my other cheek and could barely see it at all (it may be as I'm slightly tanned at the minute, will probably show up better on its own with paler skin). I then had a little idea to apply the cream blusher over the top of the powder blusher and I'm glad I did because it looks great, gives a really healthy summery glow.

I then tried out the mascara and all I can say is that I am in love with it! It's totally brilliant, opens up the eyes, no clumps at all, lengthens and separates lashes better than any other mascara I've used, it's brilliant. I do think it's more of a "day time" look rather than a night time one as it isn't very dramatic.

I briefly tried out the eye liner on the back of my hand and it glides on brilliantly, and after about 5 hours of washing my hands, going to the shops and walking the dog etc, it was still there on my hand so definitely will stay put (came off easily with make up remover).

I bought the green concealer as it's been one I've always thought as quite unusual, to put green on your face to cancel out another colour; it's supposed to hide redness and I have a lot on my cheeks, nose and forehead so thought I'd give it a go, but again, having slightly tanned skin, it didn't really work as it was way too light. Will try this out again when the tans faded.

The lipstick is brilliant, I have 3 Natural Collection lipsticks and they're brilliant, they don't dry out your lips and they stay on for a decent amount of time before having to re-apply.

Here is as good a picture I could get to show the look I got from using the foundation, powder and cream blusher, mascara and lipstick. I love it for day time. Was also told I looked very "healthy" which I was pleased and worried about. I must look like a corpse for the rest of the time. Definitely try out the Natural Collections products and try and improvise with them as using them 1 way may not work or using them without another product may not look as good etc. For £1.99 each, you really cant go wrong.
