Review: Collection 2000 Cream Puff Moisturizing Lip Cream

Today I am going to do a mini review and some swatches on one of my favourite lip products - Collection 2000 Cream Puff Moisturizing Lip Cream. I have been using these lip creams for over half a year and I am still loving them! Amazingg huh? ;) I love this lip cream so much that I bought 3 different colours which they only had 4 colours in the market. Each costs  £2.99 and they are available at Superdrug (UK Drugstore).

Here comes the review...
My Beloved Lip Creams - Nude to Pink-est (From left to right)


Product names: Angel Delight 4 | Cotton Candy 1 | Fairy Cake 3 (From top to bottom)
Swatches: Angel Delight 4 | Cotton Candy 1 | Fairy Cake 3 (From Left to right)

Only applied Vaseline Lip Balm
 My dry lips :/
One coat of Angel Delight
 I absolutely love to apply this color when I am doing a heavy makeup, this will make my eye makeup more 'popped out'! It looks much more nude in reality ..poor lighting :/

One coat of Cotton Candy
 This is my go-to lip color. I always apply this whenever I am in school or at work. It has a really subtle pink and suits my everyday makeup a lot.
One coat of Fairy Cake
Nothing much to say, love it! It is brighter than cotton candy but yet still gives a matte finish to my lips.


The Applicator
The applicator is a pointy sponge tip one. I quite like it but it's not that easy to clean :/ So if you are a person who are obsessed with clean makeup tools, this may not be the most appropriate lip product for you.

Overall, I like this lip cream a lot not only it is highly pigmented but also giving a matte finish to my lips. I hate glossy finishes, it will just discourage your boyfriend from kissing you. lol Apart from the colours, it is quite hydrating too, my lips start feeling dry after 3-4 hours which is pretty amazing for a drugstore lip product. With its affordable price and high quality, I would rate it as 4.5/5 as a lip product!

*this is my first review so please bare with my poor lighting and stuff...*

My preferences: EyeBrows!

I used to hate my thick brows 'cause it's so thick and dark but after the K-POP influence, girls start to have thicker brows now! (which is good for me hahaa) I am always looking for high quality and high consistency brow makeup to fill my tiny gap at the end of my brows.. Here are some products I have used so far and I really like it :)


KATE Brow Powder [Ex-5]
I have used the same palette for over a year and it still hasn't hit pan! (I almost use this every day) I normally mix the 2 dark shades to fill in my gaps and sometimes, the lightest shade to contour the bridge of my nose. The mini brush attached in this palette is quite good actually, the hair is not too soft nor hard which is good for filling in your brows :)





shu uemura Brow Pencil [03]
This is my first brown pencil I've ever own and I like this a lot too! There is a special shape of this pencil (not shown in this photo unfortunately :/ ) which makes drawing your brows so easy! But for me, I must use a brow brush to blend my brows afterwards, or else it the lines are going to be too harsh for my brows.. I think it suits darker brown hair or hair with red under tone :)










Colour My Brows by Etude House [01]
I bought this brow gel simply because of the brand lol I like Sandara Park from 2NE1 a lot..and she's the spokeperson of this brand so I just get it to 'support' her lol..
However, this product is totally out of my expectation! The color consistency is quite high, very water proof (but you can easily remove it with makeup remover!) and high pigmented. But it dries out quite quickly.. which sucks cause I can't really get these in the UK! : (






And recently, I read 'Stylesuzi's blogpost and I think I am gonna try the Brow Perfect from Look Beauty! It looks quite amazing as it's only 12 pounds but with brow gel, a mini tweezer and an assortment of shades to fill your brows.. so I don't really have to get new brow products whenever I change my hair color! The other netural shades are good for eyeshadow/eyeliner as well :) Can't wait to try it out!

What do you use to color your brows?
