W7 In the Buff

Hey guys xx

Lets talk a little about the packaging which I have to admit is adorable and so handy.  The eyeshadows come in a tin case which is so reassuring as I know that if I drop it my eyeshadows will be as right as rain. Each eyeshadow palette comes in a different shade palette which is also handy as you can tell which is which.   I have to admit its obvious W7 are making dupes out of the Naked 2 & 3 simply by the shade of the other packaging.

Inside the palette you are greeted by a beautiful selection of neutral shades and also a plastic covering to protect you shadows.  Included is a double ended brush which on one end contains a sponge applicator and on the other end an small flat brush which is perfect for packing on eyeshadows.



This palette as you will see contains 3 mattes and 9 shimmery/satin shades.  





So starting with shades 
Buff:  This is a very pigmented matte yellow toned shade a perfect base for your look or brow bone shade if you are using alot of shimmer on the lid.  
Camel:  This is a nice shimmery gold shade but to be honest I found it less pigmented to Buff.  It is buildable and gives a lovely payoff after building 
Sand:  A Lovely champagne near white highlight shade.  This shade is very pigmented with tiny shimmers I love using this as a highlight on the inner tear duct or on the brow bone 
Dust:  A Deep shimmery rose gold which is veering towards a coppery gold.  I adore this shade on the lid as it really brings out the green in my eyes.  Hugely pigmented but I have found can be a little chalky so this shade is better patted on the lid for less fall out 
Chocolate:  This is another matte shade and as you can see the shade is true to what it looks like in the pan.  A medium brown and a perfect transition shade I also love to use this to blend out harsh lines.  The pigmentation is not a strong as the rest but is again buildable 
Topaz:  A Deep shimmery dark brown bronze.  This is hugely pigmented.  You only need a little for this to go a long way.  The only thing I have to say is that it can be a little chalky and you will experience fall out but once your careful there shouldnt be too much mess.
Earth:   A very light golden brown shade quite shimmery but highly pigmented for such a light shade.
Storm:  A deep shimmer grey with a brown undertone to it.  This is highly pigmented a little goes a long way 
Silk:  This is a very pigmented pale pinky silver shade a very unique and stunning colour I have never seen anything like it.
Wave:  A beautiful Bronze taupe shade with silver shimmers.  This is less pigmented than expected but buildable 
Thunder:  I love this shade. This is a deep dark brown with a purple undertone.  This is so pigmented and yes there will be fall out but I just love it so much its stunning 
Onyz:  A Matte Black and surprise surprise a very pigmented jett black I am so thrilled with this shade.

Zoella beauty

Hey guys xx

Read on for pictures and a run down 

The range is primarily all about body, pampering and delicious smells|!  It consists of a Blissful Body Mist, Creamy Madly Dreamy Body Lotion, Soak Opera Bath & Shower Cream, Fizz Bar, super cute Let's Glow Candle and two makeup/pencil bags.  The packaging of the whole range is so pretty making any bathroom or dressing table look super cute - with pastel shades, polka dots & Zoe's lovely handwritten logo.

The makeup bags are a great size, perfect for carrying your morning face or for if you're travelling.  The material is also wipeable (if you're prone to mess & spills like I am).  As well as the pink guinea pig bag above, there is also a blue one featuring her eyes.


The same fragrance runs throughout the range and I think it's lovely - very sweet and fruity, but not overpowering in any way.  It contains notes of strawberry, violet, jasmine, vanilla and gardenia which is light and a perfect pick me up fragrance.


Obviously Zoe had full control over the range, from the packaging, design, smells and products she wanted and this is an absolutely fantastic achievement - super proud of her and I can't wait to see what she does next!

Bye xx

Matte eyeshadow

Really good quality and pigment. The colours are amazing. It lasts for long time when applying primer first. It"s very cheap. 

Lovely eyeshadows from MUA, smooth textured and they come in nice colors. Good pigmentation and doesn"t crease or come off, if used with a good primer. I purchased a brown shade and I like to use it for contouring aswell as its got no shimmer at all and blends well with foundation. Will definitely buy more, excellent value for money.
