I first bought this mineral powder when I was first getting into makeup, and has remained one of my go-to loose powders ever since. The shade No.1 Ivory was a good match for my skin, and helped my skin to look as close to flawless as I could get it. It doesn't make my skin break out, look to dry or to oily. Instead gives me a nice semi-matt finish. It's also light-weight enough to use to set over liquid foundation, which lasts all day. Plus the powder is even pigmented enough to provide extra coverage to areas concealed didn't quite cover. Another thing I love about this powder is that it can be built up without looking cakey, it just blends seamlessly into the skin. ...  Read the complete review

I ADORE this product. I used to be one of those people who could not go out without wearing foundation. I have very bad, oily skin and I bought this simply as a powder to go over foundation. At under £5 for a whole 15g this product is such great value for money. I am on my 4th pot because I love it so much! Mineral foundation is known to be quite expensive, with brands such as Bare Essencuals charging almost £20 for a product similar to this. I was a little skeptical as I didn't think a product so cheap could match up to the more expensive brands. I originally used it over foundation and it was easy to apply, a little bit went a very logn way ...  Read the complete review

As we all know, a lot of us are feeling the pinch at the moment so one area I have cut down my budget is make up. I used to use Bare Essentuals 'Bare Minerals' which is also a powder but at £20 for a very small pot this didn't last long. I was browsing the make up in Boots for a suitable replacement for this product when I picked up Collection 2000 'Perfecting Minerals'. I used the testers to find the best suited shade and looked at the price, I was absolutely gob smacked that this 15g pot (nearly double the size of my old brand) was just £5! Over the moon with this find I left the shop feeling like I had just discovered treasure! The next day I ...  Read the complete review

I tend to pick up bits and pieces from cheaper beauty ranges as many of my reviews have shown. I am a fan of mineral make up, and this didn't look too bad. As mineral make up is ideal for skin that clogs and breaks out, this looked like an ideal solution. I would recommend this product, and can confirm it has a highly refined texture that many wouldn't expect to see in a cheap high street brand. The packaging is a bit old school and clunky, nothing much going on here- a clear pot- jam packed full of powder, a small brush, as well as a lid. The lid follows convention as the cheaper products tend to, by being a screw style, ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of finding high quality products for low prices, and Collection 2000 is one of my staple brands. I hate feeling as though my makeup is caked on so mineral foundation seemed like a good option to me, at first I started to look at brands such as Bare Escentuals etc., but with a price tag of about £20 for the same amount of product available for £5 from C.2000 I though I would give the cheaper option a try. I bought the lightest shade available, and for once it actually blended well with my skin tone, usually I find them to be too dark. I think you get 9g in the container, and it comes with a shaker dispenser, to moderate how much you get on your ...  Read the complete review
