Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner - £2.99

I have gone back and forth between liquid liners for years now and I always go back to Collection's Felt Tip Liner. It's so affordable and I feel Collection is an underrated brand sometimes, apart from them being well known for the infamous lasting perfection concealer. Anyway, I cannot fault this liner and I have to say I feel it does last for 24 hours too. Sometimes I do forget to take my makeup off and so I can say this does last for a long time without smudging. I personally prefer felt tip liners to create a cat flick as I find them easier to control.

I also love how the tip of this eyeliner is fairly thin so you can create a thin line if you want to, or you can angle the pen and create a thicker line. I really cannot fault this eyeliner as I've repurchased it about 6 or 7 times now which is saying something! I store this upside down in a jar so it doesn't dry out as quickly.

Collection Work The Colour Lip Butter - £2.99

Vintage Rose // Popping Pink // Perfect Plum

These lip butters caught my eye the other day in Boots which I mentioned in this haul post and I picked up Vintage Pink, as selected Collection products are currently 2 for £5 at Boots, since then I've been wearing it almost constantly. I've not seen anyone else review these or even mention them yet so here I am to tell you that I really recommend these!

There's currently 4 shades in the collection and the only one I don't own is a nude looking shade Cappuccino which my local Boots doesn't even stock. These are so moisturising as well as being creamy and have a very good coverage for a lip butter, compared to the Maybelline Baby Lips these last so much longer. I also actually prefer the formulation of these to the Revlon Lip Butters too, although Revlon do provide a better shade range. These are also a lot cheaper as they're only £2.99 which is amazing!

I am so so impressed with these and I can't get enough of Vintage Pink which is the perfect everyday shade for me, Popping Pink is a beautiful burst of colour for Summer and Perfect Plum is slightly darker but is still an everyday shade. 

I know whilst I'm at work today I'll be popping into Boots to stock up on a couple more Vintage Rose lip butters to ensure I don't run out anytime soon.

Have you tried these Collection Lip Butters?

Recently I re-discovered the Collection Cream Puff Lip Creams and I remembered how much I loved them.

The packaging is simple yet chic at the same time and it has a doe foot applicator which makes it so easy to apply to the lips. It also has the most amazing smell of vanilla! It applies so easily and just glides onto the lips and you can do it in a hurry without needing a mirror which is always a bonus. Another great thing is the price tag, it's only £2.99 which is an absolute bargain for this as it has such good staying power for a drugstore product of this price.

Cotton Candy is such a beautiful 'my lips but better' shade as well which is great for everyday wear or even a subtle lip for a night out if you're matching it with a smokey eye. It's not drying either which has been a life saver in this weather we've been having in England. 

There are 4 shades available so I'm definitely going to have to pick another one up next time in Boots!

Have you tried these lip creams?

So today on my lunch break I accidentally (on purpose) ended up in Boots and I took advantage of their 3 for 2 offer on cosmetics and the half price offer on selected products from their Botanics range.

I'll start off with the make up bits I picked up. Like I've already said it's on 3 for 2 and so I obviously had to take advantage of that, I couldn't just buy one thing could I?!

I've been wanting to try a BB Cream for a while now, but my skin has always been quite bad so I always wore full coverage however since my skin has got slightly better recently I thought I'd purchase one! First of all I spotted the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream which was £7.99 and was the most expensive out of my make up purchases. I did a quick swatch and compared it to the 17 BB Cream which was only £6.99 (only £1 difference but I'm saving for my holiday in summer so every little helps!) and the 17 BB Cream seemed a lot darker so I went for the Maybelline BB Cream. I'm super excited to try this since today it has been Spring weather and it's not snowed! Of course I bought this in the lightest shade 'Light'.

 Next I re-purchased my favourite concealer, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer for £4.19. I think this is the third time I've bought this concealer now and for me that's quite a big thing since I never usually re-purchase products! I bought this in 'Fair 1' and it matches my skin almost perfectly.

This is another re-purchase for me since I'm running out of my Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara. This Collection Supersize Mascara is a bargain at only £2.99 and I got it in 'Ultra Black'. I love to just chuck this in my make up and bag and know I can make my eyes look more awake and my lashes look better at such a cheap price as well.

 Now onto the items I bought from the Botanics range. I've never actually tried any of the Botanics products before but since selected items were 1/2 price I thought I had to take advantage of this!

I had seen Emma (Roselovelybones) mention this in one of her videos, and I wanted to try it out so I checked online and couldn't find it, however it was there right at the bottom of the shelf in my Boots. It's at an introductory price of £5.99 until the 17th April and then it will be £8.99 so if you're interested in trying it out I'd suggest you buy it whilst it's cheaper! Anyway, I know it might seem a bit silly to buy two BB Creams in one go, but I couldn't resist! I also got this in 'Light' and I'll do a review of this in a few weeks time.

 Finally I bought the Botanics All Bright Purifying Face Scrub which was on offer for £2.69 (usually £3.99) and I only bought this because it's on offer. I've not read any reviews about this specifically but I've heard the  Botanics range is meant to be really good, so I'm going to give it a go!

Have you taken advantage of the 3 for 2 offer on at Boots at the moment?

So for my birthday (which I will do a separate post on) I got this storage system thing, and now I've put most of my make up in it and I thought i'd take pictures :)

Just a quick post about what my collection looks like now :)

My blushes/highlighters are my favourite, so thats what i've got the most of!
