Review: Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara

Tsk tsk, not happy Collection!  (formerly known as Collection 2000, it's still a habit for me to write that instead). Before I went to the UK I made a point to look on the Boots website constantly for products I could explore that weren't available here, I still feel like I haven't tried even half of them. But one of the brands I'd heard about was Collection, I looked up on blogs about their best recommended products (some I do really like) and one of the ones that came up was the Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara (sounds appealing, right?)


(You can tell I like to take the photos at the last minute, in my bed before I start typing my article!)

I always am searching for the biggest best false lash effect mascara possible, right now I think I've found it, but definitely not in this product. 


First of all the wand is absolutely MASSIVE, it's longer than the length of my eye, and I've got big eyes! clearly this could be an issue considering you could get mascara on the edges of your eyes which is just a bother more than anything, and makes it messy. Secondly I found the formula very thin, for such a big brush you'd assume you'd have loads of product on your lashes straight up, but alas! I was wrong. According to Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect has "a unique 3D lash boosting tube technology that wraps around each lash for a 'lash extension' effect", I've never really used any tubing mascaras before so this would be my first, not a positive experience. Big Fake False Lash Effect didn't enhance the volume or thickness of my lashes, it basically went over the length I already have (since my lashes are very full and long, I won a portion of the genetic eyelash lottery) without giving me a real superstar look. I was more puzzled than anything considering such a large wand, and it applies such little product, disappointing for me! 

Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara retails for Boots and other UK outlets at £4.99, but I don't recommend it.

My Interpretation: Tanya Burr's Glamourous Kim Kardashian Tutorial

The Original Tutorial



(not edited, I like to shoot photos of myself on my camera's "food mode")
One of my favourite favourite favourite looks right now is this light golden smoked out Kim Kardashian inspired look, from pixi2woo or Tanya Burr, she's amazing! 
I used similar products to Tanya because she was using the Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV (which is currently on sale on the Urban Decay website for only $29 from the usual $64, absolute bargain!!!) but a lot of my facial makeup was different. I used:
Eyes:
Face:

  • M.A.C Pro Longwear Concealer in NW15
  • Make Up Forever HD Foundation in #120 Sand
  • The Body Shop All in One Face Base in #3
  • The Body Shop Bronzing Powder in #3 (I think, its the matte one!) as bronzer and contour
  • M.A.C Mineralize Blush in Dainty
  • M.A.C Extra Dimension Skinfinish (as a highlight) in Superb
Lips:
  • M.A.C Tendertone in Hot 'n' Saucy
