Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Mascara



Now i love long lashes and if i can make them look longer i will, so when i went
into boots the other week and saw this i thought it looked quite good so i bought it.

When i got half way home i was checking out all the things i had just bought then i opened this mascara to find it had a big crack down the side, it had all dried up and the brush was all stuck together so i had 20 mins to rush back down there and change it then get to school to pick my daughter up, They let me change it so i checked the other one i picked up it had no cracks and the brush looked fine so i swapped it i was frantic at this point that i was going to get to school late ....... i made it in time just.

As soon as i got home i started inspecting this mascara the first thing i noticed was the actual mascara formula was really dry now i don't know if i got another bad one or this is how its meant to be i did a little bit of research 'via google' and found that quite a few people thought theirs was too dry as well and others loved theirs now im confused and pissed off so i thought i would wait until i had actually used it to see if it was rubbish or not.

Morning comes and i'm really not that excited at all about using this mascara and surprise surprise it's that dry i can not actually see any product on my lashes at all and not forgetting to mention the brush, on the website they say it's the biggest brush they have done and there not joking its MASSIVE which in my opinion bigger is not always better.

So i haven't technically worn this mascara it was too dried up for me to even get one coat out of it.

I'm really not impressed with collection 2000 and i usually love their products it has been such a let down trying to use this mascara.

What's In My Make Up Bag - Part 2 'EYES'



Welcome Ladies to part 2 of 'what's in my make up bag'. It's this weeks blog hop at bloglovetherapy today I'm going through all my eye products first up will be Eyeshadows followed by Mascaras and Liners so sit back and enjoy.
xXxXx


To start here is everything i use eyeshadow wise L-R:

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet
MUA Heaven and Earth Pallet
Lancome Pallet in Coffret
MUA Triple Eyeshadow in Chocolate Box
MUA Triple Eyeshadow in Pink Sorbet
17 Single Eyeshadow in Chalice
17 Single Eyeshadow in Viva Diva
17 Dazzle dust in Big Smoke
Avon Pigment in Silver
Asda iphone Pallet
MUA Brow Pencil in Brunette
Avon Double Ended eyeshadow stick in Gold and Bronze
Avon Colourworks Cream Eyeshadow and Liner in Mesmerise

It may seem like allot but I'm always mixing it up  i would use a colour from the Naked 2 pallet and another couple from Heaven and Earth i do this so i get full use out off all my favourite eyeshadows.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet
I love this pallet my bf bought it for me for valentines day and i use it all the time my favourite colours are: Half Baked, Booty Call, Chopper and YKD. I love shimmer and glitter and in my opinion you can never have too much on your eyes.
MUA Heaven and Earth Pallet
I have loved this pallet since the day i got it as you can see some of the shades have hit pan. The quality and pigmentation is excellent for a £4 product if you don't have this i really recommend you go buy it :)

Lancome pallet


I got this a long time ago the 2 shades that have been used up were a peach and a light pink, i only use the chocolate brown colour now and sometimes the blushes but the powder is so silky smooth i love it.
MUA - Pink Sorbet and Chocolate Box
Again these are shimmery eyeshadows the lightest pink i use as a highlighter and the darkest pink/purple is gorgeous it's like a deep mauve/plum and i don't realy use the dark browns that much but i love the Orange/Gold shade and they are all so pigmented.

Singles Avon pigment silver 17 Big Smoke, Viva Diva and Chalice.


I'm very much a neutral tone girl but every so often i like to use colour and my fave to use it teal and the gold/bronze is one of my favourite these are 17 single eyeshadows and are shimmery again and very pigmented.
The 17  Dazzle Dust is a lovely smokey grey and i usually pair this with the Avon silver pigment.

Asda iphone Pallet


I got this at Christmas when Asda had all their gift sets in i think it was £3 i only use 1 colour in this pallet which is the brown on the left 2nd row across 2nd row down and i use this on my eyebrows. I have swatched all the shades and they are all really nice but i don't really use colour that much but next time i do i might give these a try.

The last 3


MUA brow pencil - I use this really lightly just to add a bit more definition to the arch of my brow it was only £1
Avon eyeshadow stick - To be honest i have no idea why this is still in my make up bag i haven't used it in ages just forgotten to put it away lol
Avon cream eyeshadow and liner - The liner on this is such a lovely bronze chocolate colour and the cream is a paler mushroom brown

Well that's the eyeshadows now for the Mascaras and Eyeliners


Top to bottom
Avon Super Shock mascara
Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Effect
Maybeline One By One mascara
Asda/George Lash Xtend
Front Cover Double Ended black and clear
maybeline express eyeliner in black
Avon Smokey Eyes Eyeliner in grey/silver

So i will start from the top:
Avon Super Shock used to be my all time favourite mascara its brilliant.

Collection 2000 Big Fake  Yes it is a big FAKE, its rubbish the brush doesn't hold enough product so it seems really dry and have to apply 10 coats to actually see that you have mascara on it is such a let down for me.

Maybeline One by One This is the best mascara i have used whenever i try something new i always come back to this its amazing!!

Asda/George Lash Xtend  This is really wet but i don't actually use the applicator that comes with it i use the brush from the Super Shock and together they work really well.



Front cover Double Ended I got this in a Front Cover Set and i don't use the black mascara, i use the clear on my brows just to set the power/pencil
Maybeline Express Eyeliner I love this eyeliner it doesn't make my eyes water like so many others do and its really black.
Avon Smokey Eyes  I don't use this eyeliner anymore i use the sponge on the other end for smudging the eyeliner i put under my eye's
So there you go all my eye products next up will be part 3 BRUSHES
