REVIEW: Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

13 September 2011

Bonjour!

Today I’ll be reviewing the Collection 2000 16 Hour Wear Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.19) in the shade Deep #4.

A while ago I bought this concealer in the shade Medium #3 and was terribly disappointed when I saw that it photographed really badly on me. I didn’t know if it was just a bad concealer for flash photography or if it was one shade too light, so I kind of threw it in the back of a drawer and tried to forget about it.

But forgetting about it is not an easy task. Pretty much every beauty blogger and youtuber raves about this concealer, and I just couldn’t believe I was the only one to not like it, and so I decided to give it another go and bought it in a shade darker this time.

Thank God I did so! I’m absolutely amazed with the results of this concealer. The consistency is quite thick and creamy, almost like MAC Paint Pots, just a bit more moisturising.

When you start blending it in you can feel the product holding on to your skin as if it’s saying, “I’m not going anywhere for the next 16 hours“. Which brings me to the staying power of this baby; It lasted for a whole day on my face and I didn’t even have to top it up halfway through the day.

After you blend it all on your skin, you can hardly see any trace of the product. Maybe it’s just the perfect match for my skin, maybe it’s due to it’s formulation; I don’t know, but whatever it is, I know I’m loving it!

I’m using the shade Deep #4 under my eyes on this photo and you can hardly see it!

So, lesson learned, girls. Before you say you don’t like how you concealer looks in photos, try a darker a shade of it!

I hope you all are having a fab week and feel free to leave a comment below saying what do you think about this concealer? Is it worth the hype? :)

    Been wanting to try out this concealer for the longest time, can’t seem to find it on eBay or any other website that ships to Norway :-)

    Love, Christine♥

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
Pretty much where we’ve spent the last 2 days! 🐾🐶 Benji is settling in brilliantly and I’m so proud of the kids for showing him a lot of love and affection... and of course, plenty of playfulness! 🥰 Now we need to work on his nipping - those puppy teeth are sharp and it seems little kiddies’ wiggly toes are irresistible! Any tips? 🤎

Yesterday we added a little furry friend to our family and he is just the most perfect little pup! 😍 We’re so in love with him already, the kids literally haven’t left his side. We’ve wanted a puppy since before we had kids, but decided to wait a bit.  Benji joining our family now couldn’t have come at a better time and he’s such a loving pup. Just look at that face! ☺️

He is a chocolate roan show cocker spaniel and he’s 8 weeks old today 🍫❤️ His first night went so well, I’ll have to tell you all about it at some point, but for now I’ll leave you with these pup pics to warm your hearts! 🥰
