Maybelline baby lips

So this post is going to be an improvised holiday post that I am typing on my phone, so brace yourself for a lot of inevitable spelling mistakes. Okay, so todays post is a review on Maybellines baby lips, which I finally managed to get my hands on whilst on holiday, I went into boots for a new shampoo, and there they were, when I took a sneaky look in the makeup section, BABY LIPS, so yeah, I picked up the three tinted ones. I would insert a picture here, but my phone won't let me, so just imagine a picture... So I got Pink Punch, which has a very girly pink tint, Peach Kiss, which is a nude tint and finally Cherry Me which has a red tint (this is my favourite)
So the colours in each are very nice, they aren't to pigmented, which I like because I'm very wary about wearing a bold lip colour and when I do, I feel like im being judged so u stick to subtle colours. However these allow for me to have a bright colour without being to out there, these are also great because they are moisturizing anf with my lips, any moisturizing product is brilliant as I get some of the worst chapped lips ever... Finally I would like to finish by saying I would recommend all three of these Baby Lips, and I can't wait to try out the none tinted ones.

Concealer comparison

Lets just get right into business today... That kind of mood.
Okay so this post will be a comparison of... Two concealers, wooo, they are two rather hyped up concealers (one more than the other) and they are both pretty good. So, you want to know what they are? Well the first is THE MOST talked about concealer in the entirety of the internet world, yep, you guessed it its the 'collection lasting perfection' concealer. And the other? Well, that is the 'Rimmel wake me up' concealer.
Number one from now on is 'lasting perfection'
Number two from now on is 'wake me up'

So lets start with what each one says on the packaging.
Number one: 16 hour wear
                     Lasting perfection (its the name and a claim)
                     Ultimate wear concealer
(my writing came off on this one so i had to google it, sorry)
Number two: Anti fatigue effect
                     Radiant glow
                     Full coverage that visibly reawakens and illuminates under the eyes
                     Completely conceals spots and other blemishes
                     Vitamin and moisturising complex

So do they both do what they say the will? Well, I'm going to let you decide, enjoy these beautiful pictures, left of my face in the picture is number two and right is number one.


So, these pictures don't show it too well, but on, number one looks orange, obviously that might vary between shade, but one orange shade is never a good sign, it also has a lower coverage on spots, honestly it had the slightly harder side, but on my general spots across my forehead, it didn't do much except look cakey. However it conceals undereye dark circles really well, and doesn't look as orange under my eyes I'm not sure why but, that's honestly how it is. Personally however I prefer number two, it is a better coverage and looks better, it isn't cakey at all, and gives a nice finish.

Both have very different consistencies, one is thicker than two, and hopefully this picture will show that...
Left is one, Right is Two.
Although One has a thicker consistency, I think that two has a more high coverage, which completely confuses me however its true...

So, I feel as though I should wrap up this comparison here and say I definitely prefer the wake me up concealer, however both are very good, and are nice products to own.
