Advantages: excellent quality, excellent value, lovely shades

Disadvantages: not easy to find

This is about the BOTANICS range, not the natural range.

I have up to now been buying make-up from relatively expensive brands, just because they were non-irritating to my sensitive skin and last well. However, now that I have tried the Boots Natural range my cash flow will improve a bit.

So far I have tried the "lighter than air" face powder and in both the loose and the pressed, it is excellent. It is so fine it is almost invisible, but gives a sheer luminous quality to your skin and lasts for ages. The only product that I though was close to as good cost £27. Boots range is around £7 for the same quantity.
I have also tried the lip gloss, which is easy to put on, the colours are strong but not overpowering, it is not sticky, it tastes fresh, it conditions my lips and it also lasts.
I was very tempted to try the eye shadows which you can buy in a do-it-yourself compact (the compact has space for 3 shades which you can choose from a very wide range). I tried some on my hand, and they were lovely delicate shades but I didn't have any more money on me! They will definitely be my next purchase.

The only problem I have is that not many Boots stores seem to stock the range yet - most shops have the body care products but only the large ones have the cosmetics. I hope that this will change as the range is excellent quality and excellent value for money.
