BEAUTY: Collection

Last week I was doing the shopping with my mum in Morrisons – Oh the glam life. When the Collection stand caught my attention. I am, like many others, a long time lover of the Collection lasting perfection concearler and I had used and enjoyed the collection lasting perfection foundation.

Lucky for me pretty much everything had £1 or £2 off. I intended just to pick up a waterproof mascara for my holiday but a few other items sneaked their way into my trolley that I think will be perfect for my holiday!



























Collection Longer Lash Waterproof - I was initially looking for a waterproof mascara and this is the one I chose. I've worn it a few times since I bought it and I can confirm that it is very waterproof which is great, if a need another waterproof mascara I might buy it again but as an everyday mascara I don't think its anything special.

Collection blush and highlight cream duo - I picked this up with my holiday in mind but I can see it becoming a summer favourite  It's tiny in size but still contains plenty of product. the colour pay off is excellent from the blush and the highlight is a nice gentle shimmer. I love that it's got a light consistency and wont feel too heavy in the heat.

Collection Work The Colour eye-shadow trio - Again I like how compact this is, perfect for travel. The lightest shade is a cream, the colour is almost none existent but it does make a great base for the two powder shades. The powders are really pigmented and fallout is minimal. The two colours work great together and it saves me lugging around a larger palette.

Collection Lasting perfection foundation - This is a repurchase and it's one of my favourite foundation and defiantly my top budget foundation. It might not be for everyone but for me it's exactly what I look for in a foundation and costs around the £5 mark. It's medium to full coverage and it's really easy to build For an Idea of coverage check out THIS post to see me wearing it. I've totally fallen in love with it again and it's perfect for summer because it contains an SPF.

Have you tried any Collection Cosmetics?

WHAT I WORE




Disco Pants -Glamorous*
Top – Topshop
Jacket and jumper – Primark
I only received these gorgeous Disco Pants from Glamorous the day before I wore them but I couldn't resist. I spotted them at the Glamorousgirls night out I attended and feel in love with the colour. Firstly I used to go to dancing classes from the age of 4 to about 13 and this was the colour of the leotards and secondly it reminds me of the surreal colour of the sea on holiday. Like always I find the Glamorous disco pants super comfortable.
I wanted to dress them down a bit I paired them with simple black and white pieces and oversized biker jacket.

I’ve been really falling in love with the Collection foundation that I spoke about in THIS post. I think the above photo shows off how good the coverage is.


I wore this outfit for a trip to Liverpool with one of my best friends. It was only the second time I have ever been to Liverpool. The first time was for my trip to the Lush spa which I highly recommend. I’d love to go back to Liverpool when I have a bit of money because the shopping looks incredible.
I wasn't intending to buy anything at all but we both went a bit giddy over the 3 for 2 in Superdrug and I ended up buying a gel topcoat, some eyelashes and the new maybelline speckled topcoat which I can't wait to use.
