HOWEVER I’m so glad that she was a sour faced bitch who totally put me off giving her my money because I then wandered past collection 2000. I’ve been using the concealer for ages and like many other bloggers I totally recommend it so I thought I’d give the foundation a chance.
I use medium in the conealer and the foundation is shade 3 which is called biscuit.
This foundation is similar to Revlon Colourstay if not a little thicker. The pump cap is great and means you don’t waste product. In my quest for the perfect foundation I did try out a sample of chanel foundation vitalumiere which was great and made my skin soft but didn’t have quite as much coverage and with a £33 price tag I don’t think it compares to the collection 2000 at £5.99.
Skin before: pink, blotchy, spots and freckles
Skin after: much better Just applied with fingers and not using a primer
The foundation has an SPF 20 in it too which is always a bonus and it lasted perfectly from application at 11am till I took it off (which took a good scrub) at 11pm. I'm so pleased with this foundation and very pleased with the price tag.
Have you found any beauty bargains recently?
I want to try the Collection 2000 foundations because I've heard really good things. The shades don't run pale enough though, even though the concealer is a really good match for me :(
ReplyDeleteAwww thats such a shame :[ I didn't realise I thoughtmy shade was pretty light so I thought shade 1 would be super light x
DeleteSame as RaeRae the shades aren't light enough for me which is a real pity as this has good coverage
ReplyDeleteAwww, thats proper annoying! xx
DeleteI always look at this in Boots but as above it's just not light enough! Maybe if I mixed some of my white foundation in?

Yeah that stuff looks amazing! Youknow whats odd.. I always thought I was really pale....clearly not! x
DeleteI have this foundation and love it :) Same shade;) xx
ReplyDelete:] good isn't it! X
DeleteHell, that IS good coverage! But I think your freckles are too cute to cover up.
ReplyDeleteI good a Revlon 'goodie bag' at TK in Manchester. It was a fiver, yellow label, (which means they make no profit on it). There was an eyeshadow pallette that had had one of the colours broken. It had crumbled over everything, which I think is why no one had bought it. Took it back to the hotel, cleaned it up and was chuffed to find a lippy, a lip stain, a mascara, a lipgloss and 2 complete shadows. Bargain!

Thank you about the freckles!! :] Thats such a cool Tkmaxx bargain. I love goodie bag style things I find them hard to resist xxx
DeleteI use the concealer too! I noticed that this foundation was half price in wilkos the other day (if you wanna stock up!) but alas all the shades were too dark for my paley face :(
ReplyDeleteRachelle x

Thank you :] XX
Deleteyour skin is so good! I thought that was the 'after' shot, my skin is dire. I may well give collection 2000 a try, I refuse to spend a fortune on makeup gunk.
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you, my face is quite clear! I think its to make up for the annoying rashes I get on my wrists! x
DeleteThis looks amazing! I will definitely grab this foundation and concealer when I use up some from my collection(I have too many at the momment!).
ReplyDeleteGood you didn't buy anything from that bitchy woman! They should be doing everything to make you happy! Ha!

Awww, thank you! :] XX
DeleteI have just tried 17's new stay matte foundation its fantastic and only £4.99 at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOhh thats great I love it when cheaper brands do great things - it proves that the most expensive isn't the best x
DeleteIt seems we have more in common by the day! I've been using this foundation since about November last year and so far I have been really impressed, over all it is a really good coverage. I've got shade 2 in Ivory and it's perfect for my skin tone.
ReplyDeleteAt the time it was on offer, so I think I ended up paying something silly like £3.99! Total bargain.
Not tried the concealer though, I've been using my Rimmel one up, so will def be investing in that now :) xxx
You know I was thinking that when I was reading your letter!
DeleteWe have great taste ;]x
