The palette contains eight eye colours (two light, three medium, three dark) and one eye brightening cream. The kit also comes with a double ended applicator sponge - but I prefer to use a brush and picked up a cheap blending brush for £1.99 from Superdrug - and a 'How To' guide which is printed on the back.
The instructions were very simple. I used the bronze medium shade over my eyelid (all the medium shades are quite shimmery) then the middle dark shade on the outer corner and brushed it towards the centre. I then used the pink colour across my brow bone.
The shimmery colours are quite sheer so if you want a more dramatic look you might need a couple of layers and built it up. As with most eye shadows the powder can go everywhere when you brush it on, but if you hold a tissue under your eye when applying it catches a lot of the loose powder.
If you're looking to do smokey eyes on a budget I would definitely recommend the Collection 2000 palette. The how to guide makes it so easy to apply and I love that everything you need is in one place and you don't have to faff around with different pots of eyeshadow.
For a first attempt I'm quite pleased! What do you think?
