I bought this foundation back in the summer when I arranged to go out for dinner after work and hadn't taken any makeup with me, as such I just wanted something cheap that would cover up a couple of blemishes and make my skin tone appear a bit more consistent. Collection 2000 seems to be one of the cheapest mainstream brands available so I gravitated towards their display in Superdrug and came across a bottle of this 'naturally matt foundation'. Packaging: Unlike the image accompanying this review, the packaging on mine is completely different - the one shown here seems to be an older version. The packaging I have is a squeezy type tube with a black flip ...  Read the complete review

I'm usually a fan of collection 200 products and have quite a collection of eye shadows, blushers and powder. For a lot of their products I'd purchase them over some of the most expensive brands even if I could afford to spend over £10 on a foundation but this is the first one I had tried. I went home thinking I had snapped up a bargain at just under £3. I chose Ivory however I felt this was still quite dark on me The packaging of this product looks quite cheap and nasty in my opinion however what can you expect for a price like this I guess. I think in this kind of tube there can be a lot more wastage than say for example in the tubs of foundation and towards ...  Read the complete review

With me when I buy foundation I usually pay a decent whack for one purely as its an item I need and not one that I simply buy for fun such as a new lippy or a nail polish or something. However I didn't need this really when I saw it I simply bought it as it was in Poundland and actually only cost 75p a tube as they were reduced for some reason and knowing I am going out more lately and dating and so on thought it was worth a punt though for the price I really thought it was probably going to be really rubbish lol. The Packaging: This comes in a see-through almost oblong shaped tube with a black twist on/off lid covering a small extended hole to the ...  Read the complete review

I have a very fair complexion and finding foundations to match is so hard that I either end up looking orange, pink or resembling a goth! Coming into the summer and looking forward to the 2012 Olympics held in London, I decided to start wearing some fake tan but then quickly realised I needed a new foundation to blend my face to my neck and body! I didn't want to spend too much, as fake tan washes off after a few days so I popped down to Boots and had a nose at the Collection 2000 range as I love the low price but high quality. I didn't want shimmer or glitter so I was pleased to see the 'Natural Matte Foundation.' The packaging is very simplistic and ...  Read the complete review

When my foundation ran out last month and I couldn't afford to pay out £15 for a new one, I decided to have a look around the cheaper foundations. I found the Collection 2000 foundation in Wilkinsons for around £2.50 and thought it must be worth a try. *Packaging* The foundation is in a clear, squeezy bottle with a black lid. It has basic black writing on the front that says 'Collection 2000. Natural Matt Foundation'. The packaging is very basic and this product wouldn't stand out on a shelf full of other foundations, but when it is being sold for £2.50, packaging isn't really a priority. *Application* To remove the lid off the ...  Read the complete review
