Advantages: Cheap and waterproof

Disadvantages: Doesn't add volume and clumps

I do not tend to wear make-up on a daily basis but I do like to make an effort when I am going out in the evening. My husband prefers me without make-up so I tend to stick to mascara and a bit of lippy. I have tried loads of different mascaras. They go off quite quickly because I do not use them very often. I have used Collection 2000 Waterproof mascara in the past because it is so cheap and when you use it as rarely as I do, there does not seem much point splashing out on something expensive. It is true though that you get what you pay for.

I tend to use waterproof mascara because, due to the fact I rarely wear make-up, when I do, I forget that I have any on and rub my eyes as I normally would and then later find out I have big panda eyes. Also, due to the fact my eyes are not used to the weight of the mascara, I find that I blink less and so my eyes get a little watery. For me, waterproof mascara is definitely the way ahead!

The waterproof aspect of this mascara does work. It is not smudge proof but because it is waterproof, if I do accidentally rub my eyes while wearing it, it tends to create a powdery dust, rather than big smudge marks... still not a great look but every little helps!!

It does claim to increase the volume of your lashes by four times. Not seen any evidence of this with mine. But then to best honest, I have never used a volumising mascara that actually volumises. At the end of the day you are coating each lash with a layer of mascara. No matter how much you spend you cannot create extra lashes that aren't there. you can only lengthen the ones you have. Collection 200 does that.

It can clump a little but that might just be because I do not use it often enough. It definitely clumps more than the expensive brands though. I think this is partly the mascara and partly the fact that the brush is a little big.

However, at £2, you can't really complain. It is waterproof and lengthening. It doesn't create volume and it can clump.

Summary: Good mascara and the cheapest I've seen.
