Poundland makeup, worth the hype?

So I've heard a lot about poundlands makeup line many good a few negative comments so decided why not try it out for myself, I have sensitive skin that if I put certain products on BOOM breakout so I was a little hesitant but tried it never the less,

They have a large range of there products from lip liners to nail varnish 's they also do foundation but I wasn't daring enough to try that yet as I don't ant to stress my skin out by changing everything song bought a translucent powder as on a day to day basic I like a bit of foundation with some powder ad a thin layer of mascara also the eyebrows but that's just mandatory! 

I also picked up a matte medium bronzer to try a contour with, I don't contour everyday but from time to time I like to,

The packaging,
The packaging for this brand is really cute it's bold and chunky the casing on the powders seems very steady which is a good thing for me as I tend to carry my powder in my handbag in case I need to freshen up so this for me was a winner!

Swabs,
So I took swabs the translucent you can't really tell but I expected that as it's translucent!  But the bronzer was really light it wasn't very pigmented at all! so this was a downside, as you'd have to keep applying till you got it to your desired amount, so this was a bad point for me

How it look and feels on°
So I haven't uploaded a picture of the finished look main reason, ' I completely forgot to take one but I will upload one later so, I did my normal routine  but changed the powders the finished look felt a little heavy because of the bronzer and it would not blend at all to my liking so this product for me is a no no but the translucent powder was very light and seemed to set perfectly I was a little worried as it was really cheap that it would look flaky as some powders do but this was fine for that day to day look and all for a £1?!?!
I am going to purchase a few more products to review from there range, mascara, lipliner and I may dare to get the foundation

So for me the bronzer was a loss and a 2/10
but the powder was a 6/10 seems low but I'm comparing it to others I have tried,

Thanks for reading
