Collection 2000 Fix Me Up Make Up Fixer

Hello everyone!

Just to start with, I always get confused as to the proper name of Collection 2000?! I thought it was meant to be changing to just Collection but I believe this is a fairly new release and it says Collection 2000 on the bottle?! Ah, confused. I'll use Collection 2000 in this as that's what the product says :)Anyway, on to the product in hand.

Collection 2000 have recently brought out a primer (Primed and Ready) and a make up fixing spray called "Fix Me Up". I had actually been looking for a relatively cheap make up setting spray as I wanted to see if they worked, and so this came at a good time for me. I saw the stand in Superdrug and so I picked one up. I didn't get the primer as I'm still using the Revlon one I reviewed here.

Fix Me Up is described as "a weightless mist that adds radiance and keeps make up in place for longer". The packaging is quite nice in my opinion, it's a black bottle with hot pink writing with the instructions on one side. It may be tacky-ish for some but I like it :)

That picture is terrible, haha! This is supposed to be the side with the instructions on. Basically, it just tells you to hold the spray 20-30cm away from your face and apply 2-4 sprays.

The product has a slight scent to it when it first comes out of the bottle, which I know will put some people off as scented products often make people break out etc etc. It's not an unpleasant smell, but it's also not one that I am particularly fond of, but it's ok as it disappears after about 10 seconds of spraying it.

I was intreged to know if it actually helped to keep your make up in place for longer, and after using t for around a month now, I believe that it does. When I apply this, I generally get around 2-3 hours more wear out of my make up than when I don't use it, which is good. I know there are more expensive setting sprays out there which probably make it last even longer but my budget doesn't stretch that far haha!

Overall, I do like this and would probably repurchase it. The only downside really is the smell, but this was not too much of an issue for me. This is priced at £5.99 for 18ml from Boots and Superdrug.

Has anyone tried this?
