Jar is quite large, 15g of product. Brush is included. It's more like a powder jar than most other "regular brand" mmu. As in it's not a weird shape with the brush on top.

They only have a few shades and the lightest is fractionally too dark for me. It'll be better in the summer when I've tanned slightly (no matter how much I try not to). The coverage is actually quite good. Almost as good as my Lily Lolo. It does feel a little drying and I think that's because talc is in there. It was still there by the end of the day but my skin did feel a little dry by the evening.

So, good for a drugstore brand. Not good if you're sensitive to talc. The ingredients aren't bad actually. Much shorter than a lot of these "mainstream" minerals.

Talc, Mica, Boron Nitride, Ethylhexyl Methocycinnamate, Zinc Oxide, Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Diphenyl Capryl Methicone, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Methicone, BHT [+/- Cl 77492, Cl 77491, Cl 77499, Cl 77891]
Collection 2000 in the UK is a budget brand, bottom of the shelf. It is mostly used by school girls ageing up to 14. The quality is very poor and will block the pores on the skin.
