Collection 2000 Perfecting Minerals

No website, so don't ask

This one's a UK drugstore brand. They do some pretty good products so when I saw they had come out with a mineral foundation I thought I may as well give it a go. I think the normal price is £4.99, but it's on sale at Tesco for £3.99.

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]

Nice, now I wish I was in the UK. Or at least I wish US drugstores had brands like this one. Thanks for sharing!

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.

I've seen Collection 2000 cosmetic in pharmacies here but not their line of mineral makeup yet. Thanks for posting, Becky!
