Stopped into Boots to pick the Collection concealer up, it’s about 7e now and according to previous comments on this post might be a new formula, can anyone shed any light on this??

Agree with the comments re. Erase Paste. Find it a bit too thick and difficult to blend. Have huge love (and a backup supply) of Collection 200O Lasting Perfection, as you can’t get it over here.

I also recently discovered Maybelline Lumi Touch Concealer which is also fab, and cheap! x

I love the pink concealer out of the catrice palette of 5 concealers. Less than a fiver and i was shocked to discover that it actually does work!

Ignore my bad grammar in the last post, I was answering the phone while typing.

I’m delighted now that other people had a problem with the Erase Paste. I thought I was mental to complain about something that was so pricey.
Thankfully I didnt actually go out and buy it, my mam got it free when she was buying something at Benefit and as she doesnt use concealer, she gave it to me. Luckily it was my shade.

I havent had to use it yet on a major breakout but I have tried it on the dark undereye cirles. I put it on, turned away from the mirror to grab my foundation and when I turned back, I saw exactly the same face as what got out of the shower – not one shadow was concealed at all!
I have used to use the No. 7 one from Boots for years and so far, I havent found one better.

I had Erase Paste myself and had the same problem, it’s just too thick and cakey. I swapped it away and spent the next year looking for a decent concealer, collecting many on the way that just did not cut it. I finally found it in Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This stuff is brilliant as you say. Light and blendable but still opaque, it does a brilliant job on both my blemishes and my dark circles. I wouldn’t be without it now. And for the price I can afford to have four, two sets of light and medium for my makeup bag and my dressing table. Definitely a HG product for me!

Oh I adore the Collection stuff, better than anything high end I’ve used. Wouldn’t be without it now!

I use collection 2000 illuminating touch and it’s brilliant, I have very dark circles and it does a great job of covering them up. Concealer is one of those things I would never spend a lot of money on. My mum bought me touche eclat once as a present but I thought it was rubbish, plus it started to smell like wee after a a couple of months…

I bought erase paste last year and was so disappointed. it works best over spots using a foundation brush, but still I was so dissapointed. the soap and glory is similar but much better at blending and they have 2 colour tones… its a better price and you might get away with it under your eyes. I find the clinique undereye good but its a bit thin and fiddly. The best one I ever bought was no 7 stick. it is great on undereyes nose, chin, spots etc…. i use bb cream now not foundation its so good. it has a matt finish and you can use your finger to blend so good on the go. I never finish products and im nearly on my 3rd one this year! I think its worth a try at least as its cheap and they sometimes give vouchers… but what happened to the 7.50 one – i only got a 4.50 voucher the other day. It is because of all the rebranding costs I wonder?
