Collection have launched a whole new range of lipsticks – their Collection Intense Shine Gel Lipsticks. With 8 shades, all completely wearable, at £4.99 each, they are very desirable. So, I picked up the whole range and thought I would share with you my thoughts on them myself.
The packaging is simple, a little cheap, but straight to the point. They contain a lipstick with a tilted end that makes it easy to apply, and in the lid there is a pot of lipstick in the same colour, perfect to use as a lip liner.
The formula is thick, and so not the most comfortable on the lip. However, they’re not drying and they have a slight balm like texture (just thick). It means you can still feel them on your lips for some time after application. The colours are pigmented and colours I would want to wear, and there’s a colour there for everyone. I will definitely keep hold of some of the shades and keep using them on rotation, but I wouldn’t say they’re my favourite formula by any means.
(shades from left to right) 1 Twilight Nude, 2 Intense Truffle, 3 Crushed Plum, 4 Mulberry Burst, 5 Pinata Pink, 6 Sicilian Glow, 7 Red Movie Star, 8 Bliss Berry.
Have you tried these? If so, what are your thoughts?

I’ve never heard of them, but I very much like the packaging! It’s always nice to see the shade of the lipstick without actually opening it x
Exactly. Sometimes I hate that you have to actually open up the lipstick to see even remotely what it is – it’s my main annoyance at Mac lipsticks 😋
I haven’t heard of this brand, but the shades look really pretty.
Have you not heard of Collection? Where are you based? It might not have made it there yet… the collection lasting perfection concealer is their most famous product ☺
Crushed Plum is really pretty! I wish we had Collection here in the US 🙂

I feel like I take brands like Collection and Barry M for granted.. then again, I guess you probably do that with US brands 😛
