Collection 2000 Eye Shadow

My local chemist recently closed down to relocate and in the days running up to the close, they decided to sell all of their products off including the make-up. Unfortunately by the time I got there, the rimmel, maybeline and max factor products had gone and there was only a few collection 2000 items left. At the time I never had any items in my make up bag from the collection 2000 range so I wasn't at all sure what they were like. I purchased a trio eye shadow as it was reduced to 50p so I didn't mind even if I didn't like it. There weren't many colours left so I decided on the steel ice colours which looked between a purple and a grey. I was ...  Read the complete review

I go through what I call make-up phases, I'll go through weeks of wearing very basic make-up, and then weeks of wearing a full face. Part of my full face make-up routine is to apply eyeshadow. As this isn't an everyday thing for me anymore, I stopped buying expensive eyeshadows such as MAC and Urban Decay. Now I've started to look towards cheaper brands, one of which being Collection 2000. I had used Collection 2000 products before (I actually won a years supply in a competition when I was like 14), and was semi-impressed with them, so years later, I thought I'd give them another try. This time, I bought the Collection 2000 Intense Trio Eyeshadow in 07 Zenith. ...  Read the complete review

This is a fantastic brand if you are counting the pennies as we all are at the moment. The eyeshadows are my favourite product fromt the range and they do a variety of single shadows, double and triple colours. Colours range from brights and funky shades to more neutral tones which are what I wear. The eyeshadows go on really well, and the colour intensity is strong and vivid, so the eyeshadow will last you a long time as you dont need to use a great deal when applying. The only thing I would say is that the colour can wear off/rub off quite easily if just applied straight to the eyelid. The way to get around this is to apply a layer of concealer to your eyes or a ...  Read the complete review

I'll go through phases - I'll wear make up for a while, and then I wont wear it for a few weeks, until I find something new that catches my eye. On this occasion, I hadn't worn much make up for almost a month, but when I was at Asda, I brushed passed their cosmetics, and a rather dazzling looking tub of baby pink eye shadow caught my eye, sitting on the shelf of the Collection 2000 range. I had always admired those little tubs of Barry M eyeshadow glitter dusts, but I never liked the fact that I would have to pay a high price for them. Fortunately, this little tub is just like them. When you screw off the silver lid (thankfully is reasonably tight so there are ...  Read the complete review

I happened to stumble upon these shadows by accident while looking for the perfect pink shade, so can give an unbiased opinion! They have a few great attributes and only a few gripes. But for the price, you can't go far wrong!! I was looking for a dusky pink, that wasn't at all pastel or hot, just dark and musty but still shimmery. I found it at Collection 2000! The best things about these shadows are... :) The colour pay off- I have these shadows in pink and green and love the colours. They're quite highly pigmented and the best thing is that the colour in the pot really looks like the colour you're putting on your lids! :) ...  Read the complete review
