Collection Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream| Review

I've been wanting these products for ages, then they were in my drawer for ages and recently I finally got round to using them. I think what's been holding me for this long is the fact that I'm not really a fan of lipglosses, I know these are not lipglosses but they so look like them. The applicator is just the same as in a lipgloss as well. However, Cream Puff is something inbetween a lipgloss and a lipstick, it gives full coverage and matt finish, while being thick and creamy. Once the product is applied it dries on the lips after a couple of minutes, but doesn't dry them out, which is great since my lips get dry really easily. I absolutely love the names of the products in this collection - I got mine in Powder Puff, Fairy Cake and Cotton Candy and the last one is my favourite of all three (there's one more: Angel Delight but I just didn't really like it). Plus they smell like vanilla, which I love especially considering how cheap the products are. The only downside is that they don't stay on for long, but then again I don't mind re-applying from time to time. I would recommend Cream Puff to anyone who hasn't tried it, it's definitely worth picking up.

My favourite concealers

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer is literally the best concealer I've ever tried. My shade is Fair (1), which is the lightest one. It's nice and creamy and gives medium to full coverage, it doesn't get cakey or dry. I don't apply it straight on my face, I put it on my hand first and then either with a brush or a finger apply it on. It goes on smoothly and stays in place all day, I can't say enough good things about this. However, the packaging is not as amazing as the product, the writing comes off really easily but then again, what's inside makes up for it.
Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer is actually a concealer and a highlighter in one. I use this one mainly for the area under my eyes and my shade is 010 Ivory. It has a pretty natural finish, and wears nicely throughout the day without fading or getting cakey. I'm not too fond on the packaging of this product, but it works well, so I'm not going to complain. I apply it the same way as the Collection 2000 concealer - with a finger or a brush.
Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer is definitely the nicest looking one out of all three. My shade is 15. It has the same kind of applicator as the Collection 2000 one, so I use it the same way. Its consistency is quite creamy and blends into the skin really nicely, it doesn't sit in the fine lines and doesn't look cakey. It holds up well, I usually have it on for about 8-9 hours and don't have any problems with it. I mostly reach for this concealer when I can't find my Collection 2000 one, or when I run out of it.
