W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara - A Dupe of Benefits They're Real Mascara?

Hello Beauties :) I hope you are all well :)

Well I am sure alot of you who have seen me post up a picture of Facebook about this have been dying to hear my thoughts and see pictures on this mascara :)  I know for a fact I was super excited to try this when I seen it for sale in a local pharmacy :) 

Tod do thing differently on this post I am going to show you a picture of my lashes one side has the benefit They're Real Mascara on the other has W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara on bother with only 2 coats and I want you to guess which eye has which :)  Of course at the end I will tell you if you are right or wrong but for a bit of fun I want you to comment below.  So eye number one which will be your left hand side and the 2nd eye which is your right :) :) 

So here it is :) 

The focus & lighting is a little off because the sun likes to play games popping in and out every 2 seconds but at least you can still see the lashes :) 

Well of course by now you can tell that W7 has been "cheeky" enough to copy the packaging that Benefit has for the They're real mascara so even my 5 year olds have noticed that both mascaras look very very alike on the outside from the mirrow image packaging to the black and orange writing as you can see below 

So now that we have cleared that the packaging is very alike.  We now have to investigate the wands in which I again was shocked with :) Take a look :) :) 

The top wand is W7 and the bottom of course is Benefit :) 
There is a little difference in the wands and in thickness but they both look very very alike let me show you a closer look 

They are both flexible which mean they both work with the lashes :)   
W7 have certainly ticked both boxes so far in achieving to creating a dupe but of course the real question is does it perform the same :) 

Well for all you Benebabes out there who love and adore They're Real Mascara I am with you as I absolutely adore it too.  I adore for for the fact that it makes my lashes super long, super full and makes them look evenly separated.  I also love how black it makes my lashes.  No flakiness no clumps no smudging and is 100% waterproof I mean Nothing is budging Benefits They're Real Mascara Some would even say that even some eye make-up removers wont budge it which is a dream to all of us ladies :) 

W7 has alot to live up to, match what Benefit has to offer to us in performance 

To be honest I wanted to test these against each other and really put them to the test last week with our horrible Irish winter weather.  I applied W7 on one eye and Benefit on the other used no curlers.  
I found applying W7 a dream The Formula was not too wet and not too dry.  There was a perfect amount of the formula on the brush to apply one coat to each lash.  I did have to comb through my lashes a little more than I did with the Benefit Mascara but that's nothing major.  There was no mess no smudging while applying the mascara which again is brilliant.  I found both mascara's dried the same time and I didn't feel like I needed to add another coat of W7 to match up with the pigmentation Benefit gave on the other eye.  Both lashes looked the same :) :) Happy Days :) 
Throughout the day I noticed No Flaking and nothing different from when I first applied the W7 mascara to be honest I felt like I was wearing Benefit They're Real on both eyes :)  
In total I wore these mascaras for 13 hours and there was no change even been caught in the rain a few times there was no movement or no panda eyes.    

The only difference I did notice was when I took my makeup off Its alot easier to take of the W7 mascara than the Benefits They're Real.  I could use a simple eye makeup remover to remove W7 but to remover the Benefit They're Real I had to use the Benefit Remover.  
Here is a before and after picture after 2 coats of each :)  Have you decided which eye has W7 and Which has Benefit yet?  ;) 

I have to admit I was very impressed with W7 Absolute Lashes and find its a good cheaper alternative.  
I still adore Benefit and to be honest its one of my top favourite Mascara's.  I just simply find I can only treat myself to They're Real occasionally because it costs €22.50.  Whereas W7 have made a very very good attempt of making a dupe of They're Real for only €3.50 per mascara.  If you are one who loves They're real but sometimes find it hard to part with the money to buy it well you can always go for the cheaper alternative and still have beautiful darker long full lashes :) and now for the big Real 
The left eye which is the first eye has the W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara on and the right eye which is the 2nd eye Has Benefit They're Real Mascara on.  Did you Guess Right?

Well that's it from me today everyone I really hope you Enjoyed this review :)  Incase you are wondering W7 Absolute Mascara is available from leading pharmacies in Ireland including Cara Pharmacy :) 

Until Next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

W7 In The Buff & In The Nude Natural Nudes Eye Colour Palettes

Hello My Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Today I am sharing with you 2 new palettes I have added to my collection 

I am not going to compare these to the famous Naked Palettes but you will get the idea as you see the shades that they are yet another dupe form of them :) :) 

I was super excited to see these come into my local pharmacy as I have heard so much about the first palette been so good.  So When I seen the two of them there I just had to grab them.  

These palettes cost me €9.95 each but I think in some places the prices vary and I have heard people have paid up to €12 per palette.  Each palette has 12 eyeshadows.

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 :)

Starting with the first Palette "In The Buff"

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 :) :) 

All swatches are made with no primer underneath :) :) and of course in natural light :)  Click on the photo for a closer look :) 

Here is a simple look I created with the palette :) 

Last but not Least is the 2nd palette "In The Nude"

I have to admit I prefer the packaging on this pallete over the first one.  Its prettier and I love the rose gold colour on it :)  It actually looks a little more expensive :) 

So let me begin by saying that this is my most favourite simply because I love the shades.  Pinks and purples are my most favourite because they work better for my eye colouring.  They have always been my favourite shade and they fact that they are all in one palette make me a happy girl ;) 

Stunning Right?!

Well lets begin with 

Latte:  A Stunning Matte champagne shade :) a perfect highlight shade or even a perfect lid colour to make you eyes more wide awake :) 

Angel:  This shade is absolutely stunning and one of my favourites :)  A stunning baby pink with silver shimmer.  I have to admit you will have glitter fallout from this shade as the glitter is a little chunky but I tend to do my eyes before my face makeup when using this shadow :) 
Venice:  A Stunning satin peach pink another great shade and looks stunning on the lid very pigmented and no fall out 
Marilyin:  A Matte pinky mauve shade this I have to admit is not very pigmented its very sheer and maybe best used just to blend out harsh lines 
Copper Pot:  A stunning shimmery Copper Rose shade I am in love again this shade can be a little chalky and will cause glittery fall out but hugely pigmented 
Sun Kissed:  A metallic copper gold shade with a slight hint of rose in there this is stunning and very pigmented 
Alice:  A pinky Mauve matte shade very pigmented and blends like a dream.  
Bad Manners:  A shimmery medium golden brown with a hint of mauve going through.  The more of this shadow you use the more the mauve shows :) :) 
Coffee Cup:  A Deep brown with golden shimmers and also when caught in the light you will see pinky shimmers this is a stunning shade and very very pigmented 
Mud Slide:  A Satin Taupe with a slight greyish finish this is less pigmented than I thought but build able 
Tokyo:  A Deeper Taupe with more of a grey effect this has very little shimmer going through it and alot more pigmented that Mud Slide.  A little goes a long way with this baby 
Fashionista:  A very deep blackened browny/purple I say this because it looks purple in the palette yet I get more of a dark brown with a hint of purple when I swatch it.  .  This shade has red shimmer going through.  A lovely shadow to use but has fallout and can be mess as its a dark one so eye makeup before the face make-up I would advise 
All swatches made with no primer underneath 

This is a simple day time romantic look I created using this palette You see how the 2nd shade in this palette brings out the green in my eye This is why I love that shade so much :) :) 

Overall The pigmentation is pretty good for the price of the palettes.  I have to say there is alot more fallout from these palettes than some cheaper palettes I have used.  I have to say the 2nd palette is my favourite out of the two as the colours are warm romantic and alot more fun.  The lasting power is great on these once you use a primer you will find they will last all day long 
  I have some better news for you all. 
 If you like what you see I have found a website that sells these palettes for an even more affordable price.  Cara Pharmacy Website are selling these for only €6 each Happy days :) :)  W7 is also coming out with a new palette in which I can not wait to get my hands on and will surely be grabbing the moment its available, its looks so beautiful.  Clue: its called " In The Night"  I will let your imaginations take over now :) ;) Until I get my hands on it and do a review of course ;) 
I hope you all enjoyed this review and I just want to add that I finally got my hands on a brand new laptop so you will now see plenty of posts for me again from now on xxxxx
Until Next Time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
