This was one of my other purchases from Superdrug yesterday and cost me £2.99, I quite like Collection 2000 for their nail varnishes and usually always buy their loose powder... I loved their mineral powder which was dirt cheap and so good but it got discontinued :(
Anyway... I've seen this 'lip cream' a few times and I love their colours; 'Cotton Candy', 'Fairy Cake', 'Powder Puff' and 'Angel Delight'. I want to describe them as pastel colours but they're too dark to be classed as pastel I think.. I'm not sure but they look so lovely and matte.
I brought 'Powder Puff' which is an orange/tan based nude colour. In my younger teen years I was one of them girls obsessed with 'foundation lips' *cringe* and ever since I've been looking for the right nude colour for me as opposed to white, crusty looking lips.

It is described as a 'Moisterising Lip Cream' which gives a 'Velvety soft, matt finish'
When I tried it yesterday it just made my lips look really chapped, even though I am a keen lip balm-er, I just wiped it off and thought I would try it properly today...
Basic packaging, cute little cloud design to the left of the tube |
Colour swatch on my hand, and doe foot applicator |
Wow, I did not realise how unphotogenic and wonky my face is! haha |
+ Above picture = How the colour looks on my lips |
It's still quite glossy for a matte 'cream' aswell.
This picture shows how my lips looked just half an hour later... They look so so so chapped and dry, but they're not.
Pros:
1. Lovely but limited range of colours, although I've only purchased this one so far!
2. It's got a nice vanilla smell although still has the cheap, chemical taste but what do you expect from a cheap lipgloss! (Not unbearable)
Cons:
1. If you're after a matte finish then this is more glossy, still nice though
2. Wouldn't describe as moisterising as it made my lips look chapped
3.Use sparingly, not very buildable
I think I will definitely try the other colours, maybe this colour is just hard to work with as it is so light... 'Cotton Candy' looks scrumptious!
Anyone else had better luck with these lip creams? Does anyone recommend any other colours?
