Cream Puff 3 Fairy Cake Lip Cream Swatch & Review


 This is the other Cream Puff by Collection 2000 that I bought, it's called (3) Fairy Cake and is a medium peach pink. Like Powder Puff it has the same velvety texture and semi matte finish. I find these quite moisturising as matte lip products go and what's particularly nice about this shade is that it doesn't  cling to or enhance any dry patches.

Fairy Cake is pretty pigmented- one swipe and you get full coverage. I get a good 4 hours wear from this and it leaves behind a hint of a stain, it's also quite highly perfumed with a sweet creme brulee scent. The packaging is a little basic, but for this price point you can't really complain!

Cream Puff Lip Creme in 2 Powder Puff Swatch & Review


 I've been trying to get my hands on these ever since Make Up Artist extraordinaire Lisa Eldridge mentioned them in one of her videos, so when I happened to find myself in Superdrug I took the opportunity to pick a couple up. This Cream Puff from Collection 2000, in 2 Powder Puff is a pale beige with a velvet matte finish. What's really nice about these is that they're quite hydrating as matte lipsticks go and very comfortable to wear. I get about 4 hours from them but with this shade you need to make sure your lips are in good condition as it can cling on to any dry bits!

They smell quite strongly of creme brulee but it doesn't last too long on the lips. This makes a lovely nude lip to go with a smoky eye while still avoiding the whole "corpse lip" look.
