Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer Review

I'd run out of my usual concealer and to my disappointment the brand it was from doesn't seem to stock it any more. Sad times! :( :(
I thought I'd try something different and after a little bit of looking around in the shop I decided to try 'Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer'. It says on the tube that it: "Conceals flaws and blemishes for up to 16 hours. Transfer resistant."

Well, it was £4.___ (four pounds something I can't remember exact) and to be honest I'm quite disappointed. It covers quite well, and I think it does indeed last a fair while (not sure if it actually would last the whole 16 hours I highly doubt it!) but it goes ORANGE. Yes I swear to you it does! I decided to get the 2nd of the 4 different shades (1-very light --> 4-dark) because I'm quite pale but I'm not a ghost.

Choosing other concealers and face products in this way has always worked, and I even tested it on my hand in the shop and it looked okay (maybe it was the shop lighting or maybe it looks more orange-y the longer you wear it!) but recent observations have led me to think differently. Maybe using loads makes it go orange, but for some spots or other areas you have to use more. Luckily you can only see the orangey-ness when you look right up close in a mirror.

Maybe I should put concealer then foundation on (I usually do it the other way round) and then maybe the orange will be hidden, but if I just want to cover a couple of areas quickly before having to pop off quickly somewhere I may be stuck! Oh well. I've learnt my lesson, I'm not buying this again unless the lightest is actually better (I would have to try the lightest on my hand before considering buying this product again). At least it's quite good at covering! :)

See ya soon xxx
