Dealz Own Make-Up Brand? (Poundland)

Today I was back in Dealz (Poundland) and I was amazed! There was a make-up stand up, just like the ones in the pharmacy. A little stand with a make-up brand called "Make-up Gallery" full to the brim of make-up! This excited me to no end, as the products actually looked very good for the price! They had everything from eyeshadows to bronzers and nail varnish to liptick! I had to reign myself in from the excitment and think sensibly as I wanted to buy everything there! I decided on getting only a few products to try out to see if it was a waste of money. I ended up purchasing four things, all at one euro fourty nine cent each. I purchased two lipsticks, a setting powder and a matt bronzer.
  The first lipstick was in the shade 01 perfectly nude. This is a tan slightly pinky nude colour. To my surprise although it felt like quite a sheer moisturising lipstick, it was actually quite pigmented! I was really impressed with the colour and it lasts an okay amount of time- I would recommend topping it up regularly but the colour is fab and it doesn't dry out my lips! The next shade I went for was the complete other end of the spectrum and it was shade 18 black cherry. This is a deep berry/burgondy purple colour. I had high hopes for this colour, as you all know i'm looking for that perfect deep purple shade for the coming months. I was also surprised at this! It is also quite pigmented and for a deep colour it felt light on the lips and also not drying! It is a gorgeous colour on and leaves a lovely sheen.

  I was really interested to swatch this dark cherry lipstick to the penny's own brand lipstick. I'm not sure which one I like better! 

  Next I bought a pressed powder in shade 02 medium beige. Now from the swatch you can't see much- it is very light. This was a plus for me as I have very pale skin. The first shade was sold out so I went for the second and it's still perfect for my skin tone! The packaging is very sturdy and at the end of the day it's a pressed powder and it does the job wonderfully! The only negative that I would have to say is that there is a little bit of fall out after you swipe the product onto your brush. I don't mind this too much, as it is so cheap and really works well. I then bought the bronzer in shade medium. It is a matt bronzer- which I tend to prefer over others as although I usually like a dewy foundation and face I find that matt bronzers look alot better on me. Now this product i'm not too sure about, i'm kind of sitting on the fence. I like it as it's very pigmented but I find I have to put in a little extra effort to blend it out properly. It has the same packaging as the pressed powder and also have the same problem with there being a little fall out, but as I said I don't mind too much. I think I will have to buy another shade of the bronzer and see if it is that that's putting me off it because at the moment I can't just place my finger on it!

  These aren't the best swatches. As you can see the pressed powder is very pale and great for everyday use along my t-zone! As for the bronzer i'm still not quite sure.. maybe it's the colour? It does look to have a little orange undertone,however not too much on the face.. I'm not quite sure yet but when I place my finger on it I will be sure to let you guys know!

 Ultimitely I find this brand good value for money! I'm excited to purchase and try out some more! Thank you for reading and I will be back soon!
