Boots Natural Collection Duo Eye Shadows

I originally came across this product when I was skint a few months back and there was an offer on in Boots. Buy 3 Natural Collection products for £5.00 and I needed some pressed powder and I thought that alone would cost me over £5.00 so I thought hmmmm I'll have a go at this, got some loose powder this duo eyeshadow and a mascara. I'll do reviews on the other products at some point I'm sure! Being called Natural Collection I liked the idea of it so off i went lol The Packaging... Well mine is the duo pot (meaning two of course lol) and they also do solo eye shadows. Mine that I'm reviewing is Apple and Frost. Its round, has a white plastic base ...  Read the complete review

Having had success with the Natural Collection Blusher, and finding I needed to buy a new eyeshadow, I decided to try the Natural Collection Duo Eyeshadow. I only just noticed that the eyeshadow I had been using is Natural Collection! But they have changed the packaging. Previously, it was in a larger, flat container, and the lid flipped open. It also contained a small eyeshadow applicator. There are currently 6 different duos available at Boots. *Packaging* The pot is the same as the Natural Collection Blusher pot. It is a white plastic pot, with a clear plastic screw top lid. It fits neatly in the palm of your hand (and I ...  Read the complete review

Natural Collection is made by Boots and is one of their threee make-up ranges. I think this is their most basic range, less expensive than the 17 range and a significant step down from their No.7 range. As the name suggests this range concentrates on natural looking products i.e. keeping in line with skin colours. This range's USP is that every item is priced £2 or under and they quite often run a 3 for £5 offer so this is probably the cheapest range to go to were you wanting to buy a complete face of makeup as it were. It also makes this range very teenage friendly for young ones just starting to use cosmetics or for those who are sticking to a tight budget. I also ...  Read the complete review

I tend to buy a lot of cheap cosmetics, mainly to play around with, but also with the hope that I might find a miracle product for less than £5 in the process! I bought a natural collection eyeshadow duo because I wanted to try a smokey eye effect, but didn't want to spend a fortune on products in case it ended up looking rubbish on me. ~About the product~ This is basically two eye shadow colours in one pot. The natural collection eye shadow duos come in a range of colours. I'm not entirely sure how many are available all together, but there are five shown on the Boots website currently. The one I have is called starlight/midnight and is a light ...  Read the complete review

I have the Plum/Blossom version of this eyeshadow duo, which is a palish pink with a darker pinky purple. The darker shade turned out to be a bit more like burgundy once it was actually on, which wasn't quite what I wanted. This eyeshadow is just over £2 cheaper than the 17 Trio eyeshadows, and there doesn't seem to be much less powder for your money. While this product isn't rubbish, there is a noticeable difference in quality when it is compared with a similar product from the 17 range. The texture of the powder is a little grainy, which means that it doesn't go on very smoothly. The colour is even when applied, but you need to use quite a lot for it to show up. The ...  Read the complete review
