With summer around the corner I was over the moon when I was asked by Natural Collection if I wanted to receive a beauty box full of Natural Collection goodies to help me get glowing.
As my blog is all about finding beauty items that are purse friendly, Natural Collection are the perfect fit!
I received a fab white box sporting the Natural Collection brand logo and inside there were 4 full size products to play with to help me achieve a summer glow*
I was sent a Tinted Moisturiser in Natural, Pressed Powder in Warm, Blushed Cheeks Blusher in Pink Cloud and Suntint Bronzing Powder in Golden Glow.
I tried all of these to see what look I was able to achieve following the handy guide that was included in my box so let me talk you through each product!
Tinted Moisturiser
To say this is a tinted moisturiser the coverage is pretty good without being heavy. It’s perfect for summer when you don’t want to be wearing heavy foundation and it applies really well using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and buffed out with my RT Buffing Brush.
Pressed Powder
This reduces shine and sets the base. It is surprisingly finely milled and applies really well.
Bronzing Powder
The product card advises to dust this over the face where the sun would naturally hit it, so forehead and nose I guess? I also tried to do contour with this under my cheek bones and along my hair line and it didn’t do too badly although it has a bit of shimmer to it. This is less finely milled than the powder but definitely a great budget bronzer for summer.
Blushed Cheeks Blusher
This was my least favourite product as it isn’t very finely milled at all so it doesn’t blend very well onto the face, but it is a gorgeous colour and has a nice shimmer in it without being too obvious. You won’t need a highlighter with this blush as the shimmer is enough, which means less products on your face in the warmer weather, yay! It is a great blush choice for summer if you can get past the application and still a bargain!
Where to buy
Natural Collection is a Boots only brand so you will only find it in Boots stores but it tends to be in most of them including local stores. All products in the range are £1.99 each and they often have offers on!
Natural Collection is a fab budget brand with mostly quality products so I would recommend them to anyone that needs products on a budget! They also do good mascara and eyeliner and I’ve had a fab red lipstick from NC too.
Have you tried any of these products? Let me know below!

I shared my thoughts on these products today and I’m in agreement with you. I was so impressed with the tinted moisturiser but less so with the blusher.
