When it comes to the world of beauty blogging, whether you're a blogger yourself or an avid reader (or both!), there are times when you will come across the same products over and over again. From much loved classics such as Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish to the new hyped 'must-have', like Revlon Lip Butters, there are just some products that will always be talked about. The main reason is that these items are usually Good. In fact, they're quite often Very Good. Case in point, Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection Concealer. You've probably seen this a million times before, you probably already have it in your make-up bag and use it every day. This concealer is like a legendary holy grail item for most women, it's that good.
So when I used up my Witch Concealer Stick recently, the natural step seemed to be to acquire this holy concealer. Unlike most coveted beauty items, these concealers are purse-friendly and retail at a most bargain worthy £4.19. I swatched them in the shop and decided to get 02 Light and 03 Medium.
Medium suits me perfectly for concealing blemishes and Light works well as an undereye concealer (if used extremely sparingly and blended in straight away. I'd say that these are definitely more suited for blemishes only in my opinion). The concealers have a sponge tip applicator and due to the thick formula, you only need a teeny tiny amount to cover with. They blend into the skin really well and I was literally amazed by how well they conceal, I completely understand the hype now! As for wear, they promise up to 16 hours which I haven't put to the test yet, but so far, I've been wearing it for 9 and a bit hours and it hasn't budged once. If you haven't tried Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection concealers yet and you're in the market to get a new concealer, just buy this. I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else now!
Which concealers do you use?
ive heard so much about this concealer. i dont use concealer as my double wear by estee lauder covers literally everything xo
ReplyDeletedouble wear is pretty good for that! x
DeleteI really want to give this ago, I never wear any concealer or foundation so I'm not sure it it will be worth it :/
ReplyDeletexx
yeah i think if you don't need any concealer for anything, then skip it :)
DeleteI have this concealer and it honestly is amazing! great post:) my blog is http://billiexoxo.blogspot.com/ if you'd like to check it out xoxo
ReplyDeleteit's the best! xx
DeleteLove love love this concealer for blemishes! I have 03 but thinking about getting both shades just for the convenience:) Great post x
ReplyDeletei'm mixing the two together at the mo because 03 is a tiny bit too dark for me at the moment, but i know that when the weather warms up 03 will be perfect for me :) x
DeleteI do love this for blemishes but for under my eyes it's just a nightmare! x
ReplyDeleteyeah definitely one for blemishes! i can get away with using a bit of 02 under my eyes at the moment, but only if its really blended in x
Deleteooh looks very good, I use erase paste at the moment but find a little to dar for undereye, think ill give this one a go, thanks for the review x
ReplyDeleteif using this under your eyes just remember to use the tiniest amount because the formula is so thick and blend, blend, blend! x
DeleteI actually got my hands on this one and love it as well!
ReplyDeleteI actually use the Witch Stick that you've mentioned and I will NEVER go back. The formula is perfect and matches my skintone. X

I loved the Witch stick but it was a little light for me, though the formula is so nice to use xx
DeleteI love this concealer and find a little goes a long way with this. The price of this just makes it better :)

definitely, it's going to last forever! xx
DeleteI actually heard a lot about it already and I think I might give it a go. For underneath the eyes I use a lot the YSL touche d'eclat (have for about a decade) and I also love the Cle du Peau concealer (all the vogue girls use it and it is just amazing)- but it costs about £70 and you cannot buy it in London and I'm running out...
ReplyDeletethose sounds like fantastic concealers! x
DeleteI love this concealer :) x
ReplyDeleteI use this concealer all the time, I used to use Estee lauder double wear but why spend that much on a concealer when this one does the same for £3.99......

ditto!
DeleteI've used this concealer for YEARS and have never ever looked back, I love it! xx
ReplyDeletei think i'll be using this for year to come too! xx
Deletei really want to try this, but am doing the same and using up my witch one first lol :D

DeleteI use this one too, although I am not a fan of the applicator

yeah i'm hoping it doesn't go all dry and icky like some sponge applicators go x
DeleteYes, I've read so much about this and indeed I need to try it. Just not sure on which shade to get...seeing your swatched I think medium is best for me.
ReplyDeletemedium seems to suit most people and it blends well with your normal foundation too :)
DeleteI just picked up my second tube of the stuff... I tried something else between tubes, but had to go out and buy a replacement, as anything else is feble is comparision.
ReplyDeleteLovely review.
