Advantages: depends on the product

Disadvantages: depends on the product

Natural Collection is a Boots range and is mainly aimed at younger girls. The prices of the products are very reasonable; you can get stuff from a pound to about five pounds, depending on the product, but I haven't seen anything for more than a fiver really.

So these products range form make up to bath and body products to even face masks and gel eye masks that you can put in the fridge to cool and apply to your eyes to waken them up and de-puff them. The gel eye mask is actually the most expensive thing I've seen from this range. The one I've seen is a lime shaped on in bright lime green, this one was about £4.95.

The quality of the products, depends on each individual item and can be a bit hit and miss. Whilst their shower gels are lovely and smell nice, their face mask (the strawberry one in particular) isn't all that good. I've also noticed, that for someone with quite dry and sensitive skin like me, the products in general are a bit too drying and can irritate and cause redness on my skin. Perhaps they've aimed this range at teens with quite oily and acne prone skin, hence the drying effect of the facial stuff but I'm not too sure about this.

In their make up range, they sell everything from concealer, eye shadows, foundation, blush, lipsticks and glosses to nail polish. These cosmetics are reasonable in price and of ok quality. They're ideal for girls on a budget and those who are just starting out and experimenting with make up.

Their bath and body range have things like bath fizzers, shower gel, body spray, foot and face masks, body creams and lotions, sponges, soap bars, hair bands and eye gel masks (like the one I mentioned above).

I guess you'd have to try out the products to see if you like them but they're not too pricey so wouldn't be that big a loss if they turned out not to be too good. They make nice stocking fillers and the bath and body stuff all have a fruit scented theme to them.

Summary: a nice range aimed at teens
