Advantages: a changed brand

Disadvantages: nothing now

*+* THE ORIGIONS ON MY LOVE *+*

My relationship with the brand started back in school with my battle to wear make-up against the wishes of the teachers. Make up was forbidden and that just made it more desirable. Collection 2000 presented me with a gorgeous trio eye shadow which although a set of pale peachy/gold colours had a really pretty shimmer to it (well a girl can never have to much glitter) It came in a rectangle box with a window in the front and came with its own applicator. This teamed with mascara seemed to float along un-noticed but looked nice, plus put a smile on my face at getting away with it. Back then I could only get collection 2000 in Superdrug but made sure to never run out of my favourite eye shadow, we became inseparable.

*+*WHEN IT BLOSSOMED INTO MORE*+*

After a year or so of continued support of the trio eye shadow I decided venture further into the range. First off was the 3 in 1 foundation and their mascaras. I was not usually one of those girls who stuck to just one brand but with its good products and low prices it couldn't fail but draw me in. Our relationship grew stronger with each purchase. Soon I had a large variety all doing almost as I had hoped for my trio eye shadow still held the top spot as the jewel in my crown. Collection 2000 held its end of the bargain although it wasn't as black and white as I would have hoped with a limited range, but a good cost.

*+*THE AFFAIR*+*

Although ashamed as I may be there was a brief period of infidelity. I found collection 2000 a little harder to get hold of and feared it may be not be entirely my fault, so I strayed and I struck up a relationship with Rimmel. For a year or so I became hooked on the slightly more expensive prices and ability for Rimmel to always be at my beckon call at whatever shop I was browsing. Collection 2000 and I drifted further away from each other.
As already mentioned this is a dark area of my life and I am only retelling it to hope it helps others in their times of need.

*+*THE RECONCILLIATION*+*

Rimmel was just an affair and my use of their products fizzled out and I returned to the first make up love of my life. On returning I found not only had collection 2000 changed its overall look and was now better than before it had curves instead of straight lines, it seemed smoother and less sharp. It had so many more varieties and seemed to always be where I needed it. It was at the supermarket and at other make up retailers, it seemed to now be the make up I had always dreamed of. Collection 2000 was a changed brand and it was all for the better. No longer was it an unobtainable one trick pony it was a well-maintained fresh looking brand with a whole new attitude.
The products were just as good with new colours, the nail varnishes were some of the best on the market and glitter eye liners now stood pride of place with their sparkle drawing new people into its arms and welcoming them with great prices and a variety with as much diversion as the next company.

*+* THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER PART*+*

So like all good love stories we have to come to the end! My make up bag still holds a very special space for collection 2000 and it is present in my life each day making eyes wider, lips plumper, lashes longer and cheeks rosier.
I urge anyone looking for a fabulous look at a reasonable cost to consider the charms of collection 2000 with its many great products there really is something for everyone and a colour to suit all.
We share an open relationship and there is plenty of collection 2000 to go around, but be sure to treat it well he has a very special place in my heart.

Summary: and they all lived happily ever after
