Budget Brand That Doesn't Disappoint♥*

W7 is a brand known famously for their bargain products (and dupes). I love a good bargain, and I know W7 is a brand I can trust. With a varying mix of products from eyeshadow palettes to cheek tints, there truly is something for everyone, and I love that. W7 recently sent me some goodies and the most exciting part? I didn't know what they were sending out, oh the excitement when I opened the box!

Palettes, more specifically eyeshadow palettes, are one of my favourite makeup products to buy. I have an evergrowing and overgrowing collection of them, but who can resist? When I saw the W7 'In The Night' Up In Smoke Eye Colour Palette*, I could not wait to give it a bash. With it being my third W7 palette in my collection, I knew it would give a good result. As expected from the name, most of the shades are "smoky", however, the first five shades are less intense and more wearable. What I like is the fact the grey shades are actually different to each other, thankfully. As standard W7 palettes, it comes with a brush. Nothing brilliant but nothing terrible. 

Mascara; no matter how thin or thick the wand appears, I'll give it a shot. The W7 Thick Em' Up Extra Thick Lashes Mascara - Blackest Black* has a massive wand - in all honesty, I was a little intimidated to try it incase I stabbed my eyeball or anything. It's a plastic wand, but I don't have a preference of wand type. I tried it itself (without layering on top of other mascaras etc) and it gave a lot of volume, not so much length. The mascaras consistency is ever so slightly on the wet side so is prone to clumping, but apart from that, it's pretty good. It's best to use itself without other mascaras.

For some odd reason, I actually do not own that many clear lipglosses. Surprising, isn't it? The W7 Kiss Me Plumping Lip Gloss* is clear and claims to be "plumping". I can see where it's meant to be "plumping" - it has a minty/peppermint scent to it which is meant to plump lips. I cannot see much of a difference to my lips when I wear it, but I just enjoy wearing it as a clear gloss. It's not sticky at all, fortunately.

The product I was perhaps most curious to. The W7 Lip and Cheek Stain - A Hint Of Tahiti* reminds me of Benefit's Benetint - I'm assuming that is the idea. I was almost clueless to how to use it, mainly because I was afraid of having the "dots" left on my cheeks. It blends okay, but I feel I don't suit the pink shade that well on my cheeks, however, it looks much prettier on my lips.

As always, I have not been disappointed by W7! I highly recommend their eyeshadow palettes if you are looking for an inexpensive palette (or palettes, you know) to buy.

What have you tried from W7 that you have loved?
