2True New Products

Everyone likes a bargain, especially a 3 for £5 bargain, which is the 'permanent' deal that 2True offer in Superdrug. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a package through the letterbox last week with some of the new 2True products in to test out and review. Especially as theres some very handy dupes in there.



First up are these nail polishes. The one to the left is shade 45 and it's a lovely shimmering gold. The one to the right is shade 46 and it is a perfect dupe for Chanel's Paradoxal and Barry M's Dusky Mauve. The only difference is they are a lot cheaper and you can have three of these for £5. I'm yet to try these but I will definately let you know when I do!


This polish is in slightly different packaging as it is one of their 'Colour quick' polishes in shade 9. It has been developed with a new flat brush, which I really liked. I only needed one coat and it gave a thick opaque colour, no need for another coat. It leaves your nails very glossy. The only downside is the drying time which is 5 minutes+ and it did still smudge after, I am very impatient when it comes to letting my nails dry!



Shade 9 is a great dupe for Barry M's Mushroom and Eyeko's Posh Polish.


I also have two of their lipsticks, to the left is shade 5 which is a deep fuchsia and to the right is shade 1 which is a bright red. 



Left: shade 5, right: shade 1

I do really like these lipsticks, they are very bold and daring. They are by no means sheer and come out very pigmented and creamy, not drying at all. They have a strong vanilla smell and do stain the lips slightly making sure that the colour lasts longer. 


Last but not least is their Easy Glide Kohl Pencil, which is hands down my favourite product that they sent me. I was all set to re purchase the Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero until I tried this. I am very fussy with eye pencils and unless it glides on in a bold black colour I'm not interested. I have lots of Kohl Pencils in my drawer that have been tossed aside because they aren't soft or bold enough, but I love this one. It glides on very smoothly in a bold black colour that doesn't budge. I put this on once in the morning and when I came home it was still there, which is exactly what I want. I will definitely re purchase this product and it will be in my May favourites!


2True also have an offer on at the moment- buy 3 of their products from Superdrug and get a free lipgloss of your choice, offer ends on 7th June. 

Let me know what you think of 2True or send me some links to your reviews!

2true Colour Drench lip glosses

I don't think I've ever mentioned this brand before, it's one of those stands that is always attracting attention in Superdrug for their very affordable prices.

2true sell all their items at 3 for £5 or £1.95 each... amazing!

I've always lusted after their lip and cheek tints which are very similar to Benefit's 'Benetint.'

Their products are currently being sold in Holland, Belgium and the UK. They have a whole selection of eye, face, lip, bronzing and nail products.

So anyhoo I was very excited to try their Colour Drench lip glosses, and opening the package was very exciting, especially when 8 of them fell out. There are a great range of colours from nudes to bright pinks to deep reds, so there's something for everyone.

According to 2true, these lip glosses were developed benchmarking M.A.C. lip glosses. I don't own any so I can't name any dupes but maybe if you see any that look like a dupe you could leave me a comment below?

I don't own too many lip glosses, but having the chance to try from such a wide selection means that I can see what colours suit me at home. At 3 for £5, you can afford to try them all.


All the shades come in numbers which are on the top of the lip, I have shades 2-6.




From left to right- shades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 

I think shade 9 is amazing to put over the top of a red lipstick and I love shade 7, it's a really strong coral. 

I can't pinpoint the smell of them, but it's a very pleasant vanilla type smell. 

My favourite ones are these four below. 



Left to right: shades-7, 2, 4, 8.

Shade 2 is a real barbie pink and shade 8 is great dark nude. 


So voila, watch out for a video about these lip glosses on my YouTube channel.
