I am not particularly loyal to any one brand of cosmetics, but I do find that the "Collection 2000" brand is one that I quite like. I find that most of the products offer a great value price and are of a good quality, whilst the brand seems to cater for a variety of tastes without coming across as being 'immature' or something that's aimed at younger consumers. One product from the range that I have purchased a few times now is the "Shine Away Compact Powder" as I have found it is quite well suited to my skin, which I consider to be 'combination' as I suffer from slightly oily patches on my nose and forehead, with my cheeks being slightly ...  Read the complete review

~~ Collection 2000 Shine Away Compact Powder ~~ For as long as I can possibly remember I have worn full make-up, particularly as I feel naked if I leave the house bare-faced. One of the essential items in my make-up bag is face powder due to the fact that I suffer with T-zone skin and as a consequence, my skin will shine as the day progresses. Whilst I am quite fussy with my make-up products with the majority belonging to the Boots No 7 range, I am not loyal with face powders and will buy whatever is on offer at any given time. My essential requirements with regards powders is that they have to be pressed as opposed to loose and the ...  Read the complete review

I rarely wear make up... I just do not see the point in spending all that time in the morning putting it on if you're only going to the shops. Plus, I can't STAND taking it off. However, when I'm going out, my usual make up routine starts with moisturising, then applying foundation and then my pressed powder. I admit, I was initially drawn to Collection 2000's 'Shine Away Compact Powder because of the price. I consider Collection 2000 to be one of the brands that offer good value for money. Their products aren't the best but in my experience they always give good results. Currently in Boots, it is £4.19, which is a lot less than paying £14 for the L'oreal ...  Read the complete review

After Collection 2000 discontinued my usual face powder, I went on the biggest face powder hunt ever, I tried at least 15 to see if any of them would live up to the other one which had been discontinued. Ofcourse, I started out with Collection 2000, maybe their others would be just like the one they had decided to simply take out of my life. Useful information down below! :) -------------------------------------------------- *The Price* Quite cheap as with the rest of the things Collection 2000 sells. I believed this was purchased for £4.19 from Superdrug. ...  Read the complete review

I first found out about this product through my mum! She's been using this product for a year or so, with great results, so i decided i would try it out, and I'm pretty glad i did. It claims to leave the skin with a matte finish and control shine for up to 10 hours. Price I bought the product from Boots and it cost £4.19, which i thought was a bargain considering i usually pay more for my other powder. I've also seen Superdrug and Lloyd Pharmacy retailing this product at a similar price. Packaging The packaging is exceptionally good, and i must admit, if i had seen it without my mums recommendation i would probably still had ...  Read the complete review
