Difference between たっぷり and たくさん?


I understand that たっぷり and たくさん means "a lot" but how can you tell apart the
right time to use one or another.

Please point me a couple of examples.

Thanks

  * たくさん works both as an adverb and a no-adjective. たっぷり is an adverb. 

>     * たくさんの水: OK
>     * たっぷりの水: NG (たっぷり is not a no-adj)

  * たっぷり sounds a little more colloquial.
  * たっぷり mainly refers to the amount of uncountable things such as liquid, cream, time, etc. たくさん can modify both countable and uncountable things.
