First Impressions: Makeup Rumours

 Recently I was given £10 to spend on the Makeup Rumours website. If you're lucky, £10 elsewhere could probably get you two products at the most, so I was chuffed when I managed to bag an incredible ten! Everything in this post was just a pound each, and here are my initial thoughts!
I was automatically drawn to the impressive range of eyeshadow palettes on the Makeup Rumours website! While I've come across my fair share of £1 single shadows before, I have never discovered such cheap eyeshadow palettes! ..Warning, things are about to get a little picture heavy, as I had to show you these swatched!
The first palette I added to my basket was shade one from the Dazzle range, I think this was my favourite Makeup Rumours find as its just so pretty! I'm not exaggerating when I say that my jaw literally dropped while swatching this! Working out at just 20p a shadow, these have some rather impressive pigment to them, and I cant wait to feature them in eye looks!
The second palette I picked up was shade one from the Afterdark range, this contains some really pretty shades which I cant wait to try on my lids. I also love that this has a little mirror under the applicator - Perfect for on the go!
Finally eyeshadow wise, I picked up shade two from the Glitz range, I really love the shades in this one as they're unlike anything else in my collection. While not a big fan of the chunks of glitter running through these, they only appear to be on the first layer of shadow meaning I'll still get a lot of use out of this!
Once I finished browsing for eye shadows, Makeup Rumours line of £1 Lipsticks caught my eye. I picked up three; Shade 11, 17 and 16, which I think is the order they are swatched below, although I cant actually confirm as the lipsticks themselves aren't labelled! 
I'm yet to put these to the test, although the packaging seems nice, and I love that there's a plastic window allowing you to see the shade inside. Great if you you have way too many lipsticks in your collection!
While the face range was more limited, I still managed to pick up a powder and bronzer to try. I adore the packing of these and think the pair look really cute! 
Finally I picked up a couple of nail bits! Including this nail tape which I'm rather excited to try out and this pretty blue polish from the club colours collection.
So there you have it! Everything I picked up on the Makeup Rumours site! I for one cant get over how much stuff I managed to bag for a tenner! Which product do you want to see a review of first?

  2. I didn't know this brand even existed, it sounds fab and if the quality turns out good I think they could be onto a winner! I still can't belive that you brought 10 makeup products for £10 - absolute bargain :)

  4. I really impressed with the pigmentation of these, and for £1, you can't go wrong. What's the longevity like on these? :)
