Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer

(Re-post from last year)

I've seen a lot of people raving about this product and i wanted to join in, as i feel it really does deserve all of the hype.
A lot of the time when there is a big hype over a product, I often tell myself I will have to go out and buy it, but on many occasions i just don't. The reason mainly being the price tag. If i have a product i am happy with, i rarely want to go out and stock up on a similair product with a high price (In my opinion it's a bit of a waste of money). However i had been on the search for a new concealer, as I had difficulty in finding one that covered my ever worsening undereye circles (i've had many coursework deadlines and sleeping isn't always an option). Since this was only £4 in superdrug and boots, i thought it was worth a try.
I have always kind of believed that 'you get what you pay for', as in if you pay more, you get a better product, but this has proved me wrong. The creamy formula covers my undereye circles perfectly, as well as any blemishes, and lasts around 6 hours at best. The wand makes it super easy to apply to blemishes, and when blended in with a brush or using your finger, it leaves a flawless finish.
As with most products there are a couple of downsides, but nothing that stops this being my absolute 'go to' concealer. I do find it creases under my eyes a bit throughout the day, but i have found this with all concealers i have tried. It also comes in only 3 shades, making it difficult to match to all skin tones. I did actually have it in shade 2 at first, but i found this too dark for my skin tone, and i also found it had a bit of an orange undertone. I loved the formula though and decided to buy it in shade 1 (the lightest shade). This was then too light for my skin, so mixing both 1 and 2 together made the perfect shade for me. I also now just use shade 1 on its own, as i like the subtle highlight it gives around my eyes. Whether you have money to splash out on, or you are on a budget and looking for a good concealer, i definitely recommend this. I have a good feeling you won't be dissapointed!
