30 Lips in 30 Days - Collection Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream

So we're back with another lip cream and today we have the Collection Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream. I picked this up mainly because they look identical to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams and I thought it would be nice to compare the two, especially with the collection ones being a bit cheaper. When first applied the Collection one feels very much like the NYX, both are smooth and creamy in texture and there's quite a bit of moisture in both formulas. The name "moisturising lip cream" is, in my opinion, at least a little bit misleading as both the Collection and the NYX formulas dry down to a powdery matte finish and leave little to no creaminess on the lips. On a blind swatch test I'd assume they were simply different shades of the same product.

It's also hard not to draw on the similarities in the packaging. Both products come in a tube that reflects the colour of the product with a matte black lid and black detailing on the tube and have the same doe-foot applicator. I'd actually say the scent on the two is identical, a light vanilla type scent. The main difference is that the Soft Matte Lip Creams retail at £5.50 and has wide shade selection, where the Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream is slightly lower in price at £2.99 a piece and only comes in 3 colours.
