£1.99 Blusher - Does it make the grade?



I've tried a few Natural Collection products before, most of which I wasn't particularly impressed with (the tinted moisturiser feels cakey, and you can see my review on the concealer here), so naturally I was a bit dubious about trying another of their products. However, I've heard good things about their blushers so I thought I'd give it a go, and at £1.99 I didn't really think I could go wrong.

The shade I chose was 'Peach Melba'. I'm not going to lie, part of my decision was based on the name - how delicious does it sound?! As the name suggests, it's a peachy shade, which is perfect for my pale skin, because blushers that are too pink make me look uber washed out and ghostly. The pigmentation of this blusher is incredible, you need the tiniest amount when you use it, which means it's going to last a lot longer than the other blushers I've been using in recent months!

Despite my feelings on the other Natural Collection products, I'm really impressed with this one. I was really wary of trying it, as the other products I've used from their range have been a huge let down! At £1.99 I can't complain at all, and I would definitely recommend it to other people, as it's cheap, but it doesn't skimp on quality at all.

Have you tried any Natural Collection products? What did you think?

    1. Aw thank you! I'd definitely recommend the blushers and maybe the mascaras, but I'd steer clear of the foundations/tinted moisturisers! xo

  4. I'm the same, tried one of their lipsticks but wasn't really a fan. The colour just wasn't pigmented enough but the colour looks lovely on this! Great post(:

  5. I love your photos, they're so clear! I was never a massive blush fan until recently, as I have really red cheeks and always tried to get away from it, but now I love blush haha, this really is so pretty! I'm like you, I base so many make up purchases on names lol, I'll have to look into it :)

    1. Aw thank you, I only use my iPhone to take them! I'm completely the opposite, I barely have any colour in my cheeks so I need blusher to perk me up a little :) xo

  7. I have a handful of Natural Collection blushers (this one included) and I really really like them! They definitely don't get enough attention online so great idea for a post :)
