Xiao Vee: Indonesian Beauty Blogger: COLLECTION Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder & No Clump Definition Mascara [review]

Hello everyone! ^_^

Have you heard about a brand named COLLECTION (formally Collection 2000) before?

This brand is a drugstore brand, and will expand their branch into Indonesia (hopefully very soon!).

These products haven't sold in Indonesia yet, I and some Surabaya Beauty Bloggers got a rare opportunity to try them out from this event last year :)

They have so many good products with affordable price (as drugstore cosmetics) and their brand surely need more exposure! :)

So, today I will introduce two of Collection cosmetic products:

- Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder

- No Clump Definition Mascara

COLLECTION Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder

(01 Fair)

Packaging

It designed as simple as possible. This kind of packaging makes us can see the shade throughout the transparent lid easier. It doesn't along with puff, we need to buy puff separately or use makeup brush.

Make sure to not drop this compact powder, because its packaging is quite fragile :p

new packaging version

I always love to try compact powder / pressed powder! Because I'm not a fan of heavy makeup. I can wear this compact powder along (of course with concealer hehe).

Descriptions

sorry for blurry photo x_x

Swatch

I got mine in number 01 Fair. The shade itself isn't too white and luckily it matches with my skin tone very well ^_^ The available shades are: 01 Fair, 02 Medium and 03 Dark.

Performance

Its coverage is light to medium, and feels so lightweight on my skin. This is a good product, it lasts quite long on my combination skin type. Hmm.. maybe around 4-6 hours? Of course its result depends on current weather and activities :) If you wish it stays longer, you should apply BB Cream of Foundation underneath. To be honest, I never have high expectation on durability of pressed powder, because I never seen any pressed powder that can stays longer than 7 hours :p

COLLECTION No Clumps Definition Mascara

Packaging

The packaging itself is quite simple. Dominated with red color and eye-catching NO CLUMPS bold fonts on the surface of the bottle. I got mine in Ultra Black

Descriptions

Say NO to clumps! Clump free mascara for beautifully defined lashes.

The innovative rubber comb separates and coats each lash for beautifully defined, clump free lashes

Content: 8ml

Developed in UK, made in China.

Can be used up to 6 months after opened.

This mascara's wand isn't too long nor thick. It has perfect size for Asian's eyes :)

Ultra black color

Performance

Yes it's clump free. But it doesn't waterproof and not smudgeproof. It also needs more time to dries out, compared to other mascaras. This mascara's performance is so-so :)
