First Impressions : Poundland Makeup Range!

Okay, so I was really skeptical about trying this, but then my mum pointed out that I had been waxing lyrical about a Makeup Revolution lipstick that only cost £1 so I figured I might as well give it a go!


The range is called Makeup Gallery and it has everything from foundations to nail polishes. The items I selected to try were : a nail polish in Silver Treasure, a Colour Moisture lipstick in Plum Pout, a blusher in Candyfloss, an eyeshadow in Galaxy Grey and an Intense Colour and Shine Gloss in Pixie Pink.

First impressions are...mixed. 

The nail polish has a great brush, flat and thick with tiny particles of rainbow glitter and larger silver glitter pieces, but as with most glitter polishes you don't get much of them. 

The lipgloss is a beautiful neon pink colour that goes opaque with one swipe but the consistency is kind of sticky. I don't mind that so much but I know some people don't like that.

The blush is really pretty neutral pink, the swatch doesn't show up much so I think I'll need to try this one out on my face to see what happens. 

What made me want to try all of this in the first place was the lipstick in Plum Pout, look at that duochrome! I don't have anything like it in my (rather excessive) collection. It is very moisturising but quite sheer, so again a face trial is probably needed!
Lastly I decided to try one of the eyeshadows and my first impressions aren't massively positive. It seems quite chalky and crumbly but hopefully I can work with it over a primer. 

These are obviously just first impressions so I'll be trialling these over the next few weeks and I'll be back to let you know what I think!

Will you be trying anything from this range?
