Pop of Pink - Collection Lipstick Review

Afternoon All,

On this gloomy rainy July day (thought this was supposed to be Summer!?), I thought I'd inject a little colour into my day with a nice pink lipstick. Looking through my hoard, I thought I'd wear one that hasn't seen the light of day in a while when I came across two shades by Collection.

'Sugar Plum' (left) & 'Bubblegum' (right). RRP £2.99

Firstly, the design. I do like the sleek black look, gives a sense of conformity to the brand but how do you know what the colours are if you can't see them? You have to check the bottom label or open it up. When browsing in the stores, personally I prefer to be able to see the colour first off, makes it easier for comparison. I thought would have been a good idea is for the design on the top of the lid to represent the colours of the lipstick.

Secondly, the colour. I do love 'Sugar Plum'. It's a nice blend of rose and pink with a slight hint of shimmer. 'Bubblegum' is a very girly colour, I think a nice floral outfit would suit this lipstick.

I admit, this wasn't my best application of lipstick - in a bit of a hurry when I took the pictures!
Either way, the shape of the lipstick with a nice pointed oval allows easy application.

The lipstick states "Lasting Colour"; durability of lipsticks must be high on the check list for most girls. I applied the lipstick on at 7:30am and headed off into work, it is now 13:21pm and I need to touch the colour up. Lasted for a good few hours so I'm quite pleased with that.

There are over 30 colours to choose from this line of lipstick, ranging from deep, dark purples to a light nude colour; and at £2.99, you can't really complain. An extra bonus is the SPF15 providing that little bit of protection. I would recommend this lipstick.

Anyone bought all 30 colours?
Have a nice day!
