W7 Makeup | First Impressions

I have never tried any products from the makeup brand W7, but that all changed this week, and lets just thank god I discovered this brand, W7 sell affordable and high quality makeup, which ticks all my boxes, and today I'm here to review some of there products for you!

 

 

I received all the products above, and immediately I noticed the cruelty free logo on the side of the 'Get Set Eyeshadow base', which made me a very happy bunny, as I am a hugeeeeeee supporter of cruelty free brands. I sometimes buy/order a product without knowing if there products are tested on animals or not, but if that is the case, I will give the product to a family member or friend, therefore, I really try my best to stick to my cruelty free rule!

 

Now onto the products, if you would like to visit the W7 website, where all products in this post can be found, please click HERE

 

10 out of 10 Eye Shadow Palette: This palette is amazing for the price, at just £5.95, this palette includes 10 shades that are perfect for anyone. I would highly recommend this palette, but especially to people who are just starting out with makeup and are wanting to build up there collection, as it is affordable and includes a variety of shades.

 

 

 

The top eye colours I would use to create a very dramatic smoky eye, as for the bottom colours, I would use these to go for a more neutral eye look. my favourite colour from this palette is the middle bronze/gold colour on the bottom, to me, this colour works the best and is the most easiest to blend in and build up.

I am not a big fan of the blue and purple shades in this palette, I am not a big fan of blue or purple eye makeup altogether, but these colours just don't seem to blend in as well and take a lot of building up to get the colour pigmented, however the middle top colour (dark grey/black) is okay for working into the crease and is build able. I would rate this palette a 7/10 and will defiantly keep and eye out on the other 10 out of 10 palettes to maybe try out soon.

 

Butter Kiss Lipstick: This lipstick is in the colour red light. I love this lipstick, its got a nice creamy texture to it, however, I would say it could be used as more of a tinted lip gloss, but if you build up onto it, you will be able to create a more pigmented lip colour. The fact this lipstick is more of a lip gloss doesn't change my positive opinion on this product, I still really like this lipstick to create a natural makeup look, but with a bit of colour on the lips. I am very curious to try out the other shades, as I am so impressed with this one. 9/10.

 

 

Catwalk Concealer: This is the most disappointing product of them all, even though the concealer blends in very well and has a nice creamy texture, the shade is way to dark for my pale complexion. This is the lightest shade they do, the colour looks darker in person compared to the photo. This product is not use able for my skin tone, however, I will keep it to use for a day when I have fake tan on and want to apply makeup over the top, as I think this would be more suited to people with more of a tan than my pale self. If this concealer was more lighter, it would be perfect, the product blends in so well and leaves a lovely finish to your skin. 6/10.

 

Get Set Eye Shadow Base: I am loving this product so much, for a drugstore product, it works so well for me. The colour of this eye base is matte white, you can build up the product if you need to but is also great for a thin layer. This product blends in very well, however, my only fault is that it can make the eye shadow a bit more harder to blend in, I would leave the eye base to dry for a few minutes before applying an eye shadow over the top, apart from that, I really do love this product, I use it every time I do my eye makeup now and will defiantly be re-purchasing once I run out! If you are looking for a cheap but good quality eye base, give this a go and it wont let you down! 10/10.

 

I had so much fun trying these products out, I will certainly be trying more W7 products in the future and I hope I have convinced you to take a look to!

 

Thank you for reading and thank you to the team at W7 for helping me discover such an awesome brand.

 

 

 

Glo & Ray Balloon Pop | Review

Good afternoon.

 

Today I will be reviewing a fun eyeliner set which I have had really enjoyed trying out. These Glo & Ray eyeliners are not your typical dark shades, they are fun, suitable for summer but also with some shades great for any other season.

This set is called Balloon Pop - Sky Breaker.

 

 

Firstly, the packaging is so insane, this set has been designed so every part of it is eye catching, its like a big colourful circus in a box.

I normally take all my makeup out of its packaging and add put it in my makeup draws, however I love this box so much that I sat it on top of my makeup draws to show off, its to pretty to chuck away.

 

 

This set includes 6 eyeliners, all in a variety of colours and a sharpener which is very handy as I'm always loosing my eyeliner sharpeners. So basically everything you need to create a funky eye look is in this little box.

 

 

I am in LOVE with these eyeliners, they are extremely creamy and smooth on the skin. They are super pigmented and unlike a lot of eyeliners I've tried, you don't have to draw over them until the colour is pigmented enough. My favourite colour has to be Rosy candy. When I opened the box for the first time, I thought the pink eyeliner was a lip liner, for the reason that it came in a separate section from all the other eyeliners and it isn't your typical, everyday eyeliner colour.

I am so excited to get some good use out of Rosy Candy & Summer Sky in the summer. There's some amazing colours in this collection that you could even match your eyeliner with your outfit, and have a lot of fun with them.

 

Altogether I am so impressed with this collection. I will defiantly be checking out Glo & Ray more, by trying these eyeliners, I can already tell that all there other products will be just as great quality.

Models Own | Polish for tans

Happy Easter everyone! Today I have a swatch post for you all about the new models own nail polish collection called Polish For Tans and it pretty much says in the collection name what the polishes are for but I will explain anyway, the vibrant shades of polish are suppose to enhance your tan and make it stand out and it does just as it says! 

So here is my swatch picture:

                   

Green: Flip Flop

Yellow: Bikini

Coral orange: Beach Bag

Neon pink: Shades

Barbie pink: Sun Hat

Hands down these are the best nail polishes I have tried by far, the colours are just beautiful and still look good without a tan. I love the names of each shade as they all relate to summer which is the season I would mostly wear these colours. These polishes are only £5 each and are so worth the money (although I won them). Another thing I love about models own nail polish is that the polish bottles are bigger than most bottles I own therefore your really getting your money's worth and they will last you a long time if you use them wisely.

Here is a link to the models own website where you can find and purchase these polishes, they also have some more beautiful colours and patterns, I especially love the speckled egg collection which I am so eager to try: https://www.modelsownit.com

Models Own | Lip Stix

Hey there!
          This morning I went to do the last big of christmas sale shopping. I had a £10 Boots gift card from christmas and I spent it today on a product ive been waiting to try for so long. And TA-DAAAA, I took this opportunity to buy not one but two of the Models Own Lip Stix which are basically chunky lip crayons, they cost £5 each which is a reasonable price.
 Here are some pics of the shades I chose and bought.

 

 I chose these shades as I don't tend to buy many pink lipsticks so I thought ide start off my collection of pink's now. Beauty Blush is such a pretty, barbie like pink and to me it would suit any skin tone. BUT I am such a big fan of purple lip products hence the reason why I bought this lovely lilac shade called Purple Pleasure, It applies a lot lighter than it looks, its almost a pink colour, infact in the picture below it looks very pink. I normally go for dark purples if I am choosing a lip product but im sure I can find ways to make it work!

 

I am obsessed with the texture of these stix, they are so smooth and mositurising, I have used a lot of lipsticks that have been very dry on my lips but these do the complete opposite. I normally apply a base before putting lipstick on such as a lip primer or vasaline to make the surface of my lips smoother for applying lipstick but I didn't have to do it with these.

I would deffinatly by more and may even try to get the whole collection as they are super cheap compared to other cosmetic brands.

 

Top swatch: Purple Pleasure

Bottom Swatch: Beauty Blush

when swatched these lipstix look very pigmented.

In Boots at the moment when you buy two or more products from the brand Models Own you get a FREE glitter kit worth £10!!! This made me very happy as I now have the chance to try out Models Own's nail polish which Ive hear a lot of positive things about.

 

Comment below if you have tried any other Models Own products that you would or even wouldn't recommend as I will be sure to shop with them again.
