Collection Cream Puff in Fairy Cake

Hi everyone! You may have read a haul post way back in May where I mentioned picking up the Collection Cream Puff in Fairy Cake (HERE). I have no idea why it's taken me so long to get around to reviewing it for you, but here goes...

I really like the packaging of this product - it's slightly smaller than your average lip gloss but larger than a lipstick. The matte black plastic lid is a real pleasure to hold in your hand (hey, it's the simple things in life!)

It has a pretty standard applicator and smells delicious - the Cream Puffs are vanilla scented which is one of my all time favourite scents!

I picked the shade Fairy Cake because it looked like the most pretty, delicate shade and wearable every day. It's quite a muted coral shade and unlike most of my other lipsticks.

The formula is very soft and smooth, I think there's a lot of silicone in this product which makes it feel very velvety on the lips. It's a dream to apply and give a natural looking matte finish which I love. Although it's a matte lip product it doesn't dry my lips out as much as I expected. Of course being prone to dry lips I always apply a lip balm before any lip product but I was impressed with this product because I expected it to be very drying.

Once applied the Cream Puff lasts on my lips for up to two hours, maybe more if I'm not drinking a lot. It's very easy to reapply so I don't mind that it doesn't last long, and for the price I am really happy with this product! 

You can buy the Collection Cream Puffs for £2.99 in store at Boots or Superdrug or online HERE and HERE.

Have you tried this product before? What did you think?

Superdrug Spring Haul - feat. Palmer's, Barry M & more!

Before I started on my May spending ban, I popped into Superdrug and ended up picking out quite a few products! I managed to justify this to myself as almost everything I bought was on offer, and some of the items are already staples in my daily routine. After popping in to pick up the Palmer's Moisturising Body Oil I left with a much lighter purse, oops!

I am a massive fan of the Palmer's Cocoa Butter and have been using it religiously for years. When I was perusing the Superdrug website and spotted a body oil by Palmer's, I knew I had to have it! As Palmer's products were on offer at the time (3 for the price of 2) I bought two oils and one gradual tanner, as recommended by a number of beauty bloggers! The oil is £5.09 from Superdrug HERE, and the gradual tanner is £5.35 HERE.

I haven't tried anything by NYC before but when I saw these Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms I just couldn't resist popping them in my basket, especially as they were on two for £3 at the time! They retail for £2.49 each and you can get them from Superdrug HERE and HERE.

The new Barry M Nail Art Pens were going to wind up in my collection at some point, so I bought them sooner rather than later and they were 3 for the price of 2! They're £4.99 each and as you can see, I bought every colour except pink! HERE

Finally I picked up the Collection Cream Puff lip cream in shade Fairy Cake. I had been trying to track down this product for weeks when I spotted it in the Superdrug close to where my Mum lives, so I snapped it up! I'm excited to try this hyped up lip cream, which retails for £2.99. You can buy it in store at Superdrug or online from Boots HERE.

Have you bought any beauty bits recently? Which is your favourite of my purchases?
