Say Hello To Spring Lips!

In my early morning slumber I have noticed that it is getting considerably lighter outside a lot earlier than usual, which I'm sure I'm not alone in being extremely excited about, am I right fellow commuters?

Having to leave my house at 6.30am each morning does not fill me with joy, I have to admit, however these brighter starts are definitely going to help the situation. So to celebrate I thought I would reflect my brighter mood with brighter make-up and so I have recently been experimenting with the Collection 2000 Cream puff.
*Warning, you will want to buy this product*

As a make-up lover I am actually quite shy when it comes to lip products. I tend to be safe and stick to gloss as the colour and texture just seems to flatter my lips more than a bold, matte lipstick. However I LOVE this cream puff. I applied it just before I walked into the office at 8.30 and it was still perfectly in tact at around 11! As it is a cream based product it goes on very smoothly and moisturises the lips, giving them a soft velvety feel. It leaves a powdery finish, which I thought would draw attention to my dry, slightly chapped lips, but it didn't stick to the dry patches - it simply glided over them leaving highly pigmented colour behind.

It is available in four shades but my colour of choice was fairy cake - a coral shade that brightened up my complexion (great for all skin tones). It's only £2.99 so I will definitely be getting this in all shades! Huge beauty bargain here ladies! Available from Boots and Superdrug. Oh my goodness, I nearly forgot to tell you about the amazing smell of it - vanilla essence lingers on your lips which could attract many potential suitors. I have to admit I've tried a number of products from Collection 2000 and I'm impressed with the quality of the products for the small price you pay - definitely worth heading to their stand on your lunchbreak for a little look.

Top tip - To prep your lips beforehand make your own lip scrub by mixing olive oil and sugar. Rub gently onto the lips, et voila beautiful lips ready to be coloured in!
