Advantages: Goes on easily, blends well, cheap to buy, lasts for ages.

Disadvantages: writing on case wears off quickly.

This is a really great product, and at such a good price too!
For anyone new to the Collection 2000 make up range, I'll give a brief outline. Basically it's a "cheap and cheerful" product range, with great colours and great prices. I have bought nail varnishes, mascaras, eye shadows, eyeliners, and now this powder from the range, and I have very few complaints about any of them (I will review the others, just watch this space - well, not this one, the reviews in my account of course!)
So what do you get?
Well, you get a decent looking clear plastic case that contains a rather lovely looking shimmery powder in a floral design that highlights the colour range. I went for colour number 1 - Pink Me Up. In this I got a pretty peachy pink, a darker pinky rose colour, and a darker pinky brown. On the front of the case you are told the makers name and shimmer and shade, in writing that wears off rather quickly! On the reverse is a black sticker with silver writing that details the product ingredients and the product blurb.
"Softly, shimmering powder creates a sheer, subtle, lasting radiance. Sweep over face and neck for an all over glow, or use to highlight cheekbones."
It goes on to say it contains Vitamin E and Silk.
I really like this product, although, I have to be careful with its use or else the results are "not so subtle!" The colour pallette is quite strong and only a little is needed to gain a good colour on your face. I use it more as a peachy pink blusher / cheekbone highlighter, than an all over powder, but even so, I have "hit the pan" so to speak as it has been used so much. I apply with the usual large blusher brush and it goes on easily and blends well to a "natural" looking finish.
All in all it is a great product at a good price, that I am happy to recommend to friends, enemies and anyone else within earshot that is nosy enough to want to listen. The collection 2000 range is available in many stores, including superdrug, boots, and various independent chemists - making it easily available and is a great way to experiment with make up without breaking the bank doing so.

Summary: Would recommend it to anyone who wants cheap and cheerful make up to play around with.
