♥Collection Cosmetics NZ Review + Demo♥


 Collection Cosmetics is a new affordable brand that has hit the shelves of Countdown Supermarkets Nationwide within New Zealand.A brand that is known widely across the UK it's simple to see why this range of cosmetics is very appealing to all beauty lovers as it's quality but for a fraction of the price. -Let me expand on that nothing at all is over $30! - I know bargain right, so what's not to love about a cosmetics range that enhances your beauty both inside and out and doesn't break the bank.


So what have I tried, How do I rate it and Would I repurchase?
Keep reading to see my thoughts...

Lasting Perfection Concealer : This product is great, although it only comes in two shades(at my supermarket) which can some what be a downfall for a darker skinned beauty, the formulation itself will be your best friend when it comes to dark circles or adding a little coverage here and there. One tip I do have when using under the eyes, especially if your like myself and have oily skin , you will need to set it with a powder just to dry it down so absolutely no creasing can happen.

Work the Colour Eyeshadow pencils: These are quite nice, but I will admit they are a little difficult to work with when it comes to the smudging department. I received the shade Midnight Glam and to be honest I felt it smudged everywhere.After a while it did stay put but I'm a little unsure if I would personally repurchase this particular item.

Fast Stroke Eyeliner: This liquid liner is a great all rounder, the brush is firm and precise allowing for an easy application to be had by all, my only issue was within the formula. I felt like if I had missed a spot especially when it came to adding a slight wing,and wanted to go back over where I had been it tended to pull the product that had already started to dry. I worked around this by dabbing instead of dragging across the lid and it seemed to be a better method of application when it comes to touching up.

 Supersize Mascara: The formulation itself was really nice, not clumpy at all which made application a breeze. The brush - I love, it really is magic !! I am a huge big fan of a comb like brush for the precision and separation it supplies but not only does this mascara do that it also allows for amazing volume to be had within your luscious lashes.

Mosaic Shimmering Glow Powder: I have this in the shade Bronze Glow and it is so pretty. This product has a nice mix of bronze tones to enhance your inner glow no matter what skin tone you are. I like that it has a neutralised base allowing it to be worn all year round without giving that obvious orange toned bronzer look.

Shimmer Shades-Blushalicious : This quad of colours is amazing, with two deeper shades and the other two being on the softer pink side they provide the perfect tone when mixed together. A soft healthy flush of colour is what we all strive to achieve when applying blusher and the Shimmer Shades Blush is the perfect product for doing just that. I will be repurchasing this cute compact for sure.
Rating 9.5/10



Powder Blush: I received this product in shade Bashful and it really is super pretty.Although I prefer the Shimmer Shades for the direct purpose of adding colour to my cheeks I really am loving Bashful as a highlight as it packs a punch when it comes to luminosity. This would be great worn alone on the apples of your cheeks if your a more natural beauty wanting just a little pop of colour.

Lasting Colour Lipstick : I have the shade Valentine and it is the perfect Red! Not too Orange not too blue it's just perfect. The application is easy, the texture is smooth and the colour pay off is more than you would ever expect. I love this lipstick and I cannot wait to buy more.
