Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades in Blushalicious

 Looking at this picture, I'd never have picked this for an affordable drugstore blush. Each generous square is richly pigmented with fine shimmer and brings to mind Givenchy's Le Prisme Powder Blushes or Jill Stuart's Mix Blush Compact (this review is really really funny by the way).

But not only is it from the drugstore, it's one of the most affordable brands you can find there:

At only about HKD60 this blush is a steal beyond words. Here's why:

Collection2000 is in HK: Illuminating Touch Brightening Concealer

While wandering around Wan Chai I spotted something in a Watsons there that made me grab the bf and squeal like my foot had been run over by a truck.

After his heart restarted and he forgave me for scaring him half to death, I zoomed into the store and pounced on the brand new counter for UK cult cheapie brand Collection2000!

The products really are affordable, eyeshadows were around HKD30 blushers around HKD60 and from what I've heard the products are not too bad! Even Lisa Eldridge has been known to use one or two of their products on occasion.

I tried to find their Lasting Perfection concealer but it was already sold out, so picked up this undereye Illuminating Touch Brightening Concealer Pen because, let's face it, who doesn't need help with dark under-eyes and with the workload I've just cleared, I needed it!
