With recently trying to save a few pounds a month on my usually make-up bill and trying to tighten my belt so I can treat other people for Christmas I have been out and about trying to get a few new products in time for the party season....on a budget.

This range of Boots Natural Collection products, I have in the past found to be rather hit and miss but this costing only £1.99 for a mascara that promised to lengthen my lashes and other better known brands I was looking at priced at over the ten quid mark I thought I would try to make a rather a good saving and give this a chance particularly as it was on offer with any 3 products only setting us back £5.00 (plus advantage card points for us Boots Advantage Card Holders!) given too.

This comes simply in a white plastic tube with the top part that holds the brush simply twisting on and off with ease. We are told that it is Natural Collection down the side of it and the colour is stated on the bottom (this is available in brown/black and black and I selected the black as thats what I usually wear!) and no size is stated though this is a large and standard kind of size I guess.

Using It:

Well you simply use this the way you would any other mascara of course. The brush is thin and tapered to one end of it and is rather long. It certainly isn't a thick brush and is very easy to control.

The liquid, in my case as I have previously stated is the black shade and thats very jet black and rather wet though it isn't drippy and again is easy to apply and control the usage of.

You can opt for one or two coats of this and really, this is just ever so easy to get on the lashes and it dries fast too. In the daytime I go for one coat, at night two just for a little extra definition.

This isn't a waterproof mascara so do be aware of that and it doesn't add 'body' or thickness to my eyelashes at all though it defines them well enough and because of that happening they do look rather long though not extraordinarily like they are fake of course lol.

This, on me stays put all day, doesn't agitate my sensitive eyes though if I do rub my eyes it does smudge a little so as long as I remember I have it on its fine enough and is easy to remove too with my usual make up removing routine.

This isn't the best mascara I have ever used as you can probably tell from the tone of my review but is it worth the amount it costs? Yes its simply ok, not earth shattering but its good enough quality.
