Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Ok so this is an achievement, I'm actually blogging within a week of my last post! I'm impressed with myself, but I just couldn't resist; I had to share with people I knew would understand my beauty ramblings. 

So I have no idea why it took me forever to buy this concealer but, well it has, so shame on me! I kind of just glazed over the rave review after rave review of this product and assumed it was one of those products I wouldn't need or would phase out eventually; but boy was I wrong this is such a staple product that virtually every beauty blogger will bow down too. I never really bothered to find out for myself why the product was so good and I am still cursing myself for being so lazy.

As you all know this product is amazingly good value and and I got it for even less! In my local Superdrug most of the collection items are on offer for under £4 and have been for a while so I decided to take advantage of that while I could and I got the lasting perfection concealer for £3.69 instead of £4.19. Now this is one of those revelation moments when you a product is so good and so beyond your expectations that you see everything hat was wrong with what you used before. Now this sounds quite dramatic just to be talking about a concealer but it has literally changed my daily makeup forever! 

This concealer is such a good colour match for my skin, it's matte, it has amazing coverage that hides blemishes and redness easily and also doesn't look cakey; what more could you ask for? The last concealer I was using, as you may know from previous posts, was Miss sporty's liquid concealer with vitamin E&C, and I was pretty happy with this product, it did mostly what I wanted and was cheap enough. However, it didn't last very long and didn't have the best coverage meaning foundation was a must on most days, also it tended to make my face a little shiner (which I covered up with powder) and wasn't great for the under eye area. 

The collection lasting perfection concealer is so good that I actually have gone without foundation on some days, just popping this on red areas or blemishes to even out my face and under my eyes, then setting it with some powder. I'm blown away that such a simple step in my everyday makeup can make such a difference and also I find that I'm not as consciously worried about touching up my makeup or it slipping off my face throughout the day; I can come home after a full day at college, putting it on at around 7:30 am and getting home around 5pm, to find that my face still looks reasonably presentable with concealer still where I put it that morning. This is now a definite must-have in my everyday routine and can sense it will be a hard one to replace.

Now I feel like I've rambled on about this for far to long and I thin you get the gist that I'm really happy to have this in my life. I've finally got that out of my system, so feel free to say "I told you so" and shame me for not jumping on the bandwagon sooner.

Were you guys as excited when you first tried it? It is a must have in your makeup routine too? Let me know so I don't feel like such an idiot haha.
