Collection 2000 Dazzle Me Eye Dust

After looking through some past photos I've noticed that my eyes don't really stand out much, this is probably due to me never really wearing anything more than mascara. So I thought I'd have a bit of a revamp and having always been a huge fan of Barry M's dazzle dusts for eyes decided to invest in a few more of them. However due to a slight shortage of money after a rather extravagant shopping trip a couple of weeks ago I decided to look for a cheaper alternative. After browsing around the makeup counters in both Boots and Superdrugs I'd almost given up hope and resorted back to the ever trustworthy Barry M. However a cosmetics stand caught my eye and I ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of Bourjois Multi-Shimmer Eyeshadow. However I ran out my favourite shade and at £6.50 a pot I thought there must be something a little bit cheaper out there in a similar shade I can try out. I resent £6.50 after all! So I popped into Boots to deliberately spend time in the store and get something I needed which granted is unusual for me as I have never ran out of anything before as I own so much stuff! Now me, I'd never normally even glance at Collection 2000. Call it snobbery or whatever you will but I remember using it at school and it being cheap and cheerful enough to buy with my pocket money. Ok it had a decent range of up to ...  Read the complete review

Essentially the budget version of Barry M dazzle dusts, this range isn't as varied or as bright but they are lower priced and often on offer which is good if you are new to loose eyeshadow powders. The eye dusts are contained in clear plastic pots with a silver coloured lid; inside they have a shaker style cover over the powder so that you have a much lower chance of dropping the pot and spilling the entire thing on the carpet. Notice that I say lower, that's because it is still possible that upon dropping the force of it hitting the ground even from a short height can jar open the shaker style top flinging the contents all over your floor. How do I know this ...  Read the complete review

I found this product in my local Boots store and had to try it! It cost less than £3 and as a poor student this was a tempting price tag. The first pot of this I bought was a GORGEOUS dark shade, a sort of greeny-black (I believe it's called mystery? Please don't quote me on that though!). I absolutely adored it. A great colour for doing dark eyes with as the emerald green sparkle in it makes it look a little less severe. With a flat black I have a tendancy to end up looking far too much like Marilyn Manson! So, Dazzle Me Dust in Make-up bag I was kept content for a couple of weeks until DISASTER!!! Dazzle Me Dusts are packaged in little ...  Read the complete review

***** Introduction ***** Over the past few weeks I have really been experimenting with make up, usually would settle for the pale shades as I have never been that adventurous when ti comes to bright colours. After buying a new dress for a wedding, I decided to buy an eye shadow to compliment the colours. Not knowing where to start I headed for my local Superdurg store to get some help. After waling the isle for what seemed an age, as sales advise came over and recommended these dazzle dusts by collection 2000, as I wanted a high impact colour and I didn't want to spend a lot as it was only trying it. ***** The Dazzle Dust ...  Read the complete review
