Collection 2000 3-in-1 foundation discontinued?

Bogof_Babe

Been looking everywhere for supplies of this - it used to be in a dark blue compact but recently changed to black. Been looking for a month now in all the major stores but no joy. I'll be so upset if it is discontinued, it's the only thing that I can use to cover the patchy thread veins around my jaw line and also tone down too much blusher on my cheeks (can never get it just right).

Other manufacturers do similar sorts of thing, but Body Shop charge £13 for a very small pallet, while the Collection 2000 one was around £4.50. The "in thing" now seems to be foundation that goes on as a liquid but dries instantly to a powder. This would be okay for the blotch coverage, but no good for a finishing touch on my cheeks.

Posting this in the vain hope that if anyone works for this company they can plead with their management to re-introduce it. Or does anyone know of a store where it is still available? There doesn't seem to be any way of ordering from this company online unfortunately, even if they do still make it.

Hi, I'm sure I've seen this in Boots in a black compact but I think its see through at the top, its a three in one with a sponge and mirror.

Thanks for replying. I think I've seen the one you mean (it's a round compact?) but the tester for it seemed more like these new ones that go on as a liquid then dry to a powder. I'll have another look though.

The one I want has always been in an oblong compact. I don't mind if they have changed the shape, but it would be good if the contents were the same! It has a small mirror inside the lid, and a thickish sponge-type applicator.

I used to use this product all the time and haven't been able to find it for ages now.

I purchased the black one in the circular compact thinking they may have just changed the name but the product would be the same but unfortunately it is one of the ones that go on like a foundation liquid and dry to a powder - it is ok but not as good as I found the 3 in 1 product that you are talking about.

I have found someone that is selling 12 of the original 3 in 1 product in the oblong packaging for £14 plus postage on Ebay - seriously considering just getting some from them and stockpiling. At least that way if it has been discontinued (which is looking likely) I will have a few to last me!

Looks like I'm right then and it's been scrapped . Well spotted with the eBay supply - I don't have an account or I'd be bidding against you for them!

Looks like I'll have to start scraping together £13 a time for the Body Shop one then .

ETA: I've just emailed them - will let you know if I get a reply!

Maybelline do a 3in1 product not sure how much it is could still be around the £13 mark, Boots etc quite often do offers, Revlon products are excellent if you want lasting coverage, but still the higher price range of the High Street products:)

Hi OP.

I am interested about this, because I too have thread veins. I have just started using VIE http://www.vieathome.com/shop/product.aspx?id=25&q=1&level1Id=643&level2Id=1071 It's amazing for coverage. And I suffer terribly from thread vein and red blotchy cheeks. And I also have coverage foundation on prescription from GP, they referred me to red cross, then made prescription. But it takes to long to apply, and is to light for me now. So I stick to VIE. It's a powder but dries lovely, and I have combination skin.

Am also still interested in other foundations. It's like companies only cater for people with normal skin, I can't use those green sticks makes my face dry patches.. So am reading this thread with interest.

Wow that's brilliant. They still have colour 2, so not the lightest but the next one, which is fine for me. Only thing is, I did get a reply to my email, and bought some direct (sadly not the lightest shade - that seems to have completely vanished), so have about 2 years supply now, so I'm torn whether to get some more while it's available and hope it doesn't go off. I'll have to make a decision while stocks last!

Edit: I've made a decision and ordered 6!

Darlyd thank you too. However that product seems rather expensive at £16, but maybe it's worth it if a little goes a long way.

I've been buying the Collection 2000 3-in-1 off ebay for over a year now, I think the same seller has www.iazua.com, ........I tried lots of alternatives but couldn't find anything to beat it !
