W7 On The Rocks Palette ♡

W7 - "On The Rocks" Palette

W7 is one of my faaavourite brands... I actually own quite a few of their products, and none of them disappoint - especially for what I paid for them! So, I was super excited to try this little beaut! I love pops of colour, especially blues (cue KKW vibes!) and although I have never tried orange or yellow eyeshadows before; I was eager to try something different.

Safe to say .. I have been reaching for this each day for about a week... So let's get to it!
First things first... Doesn't it just SCREAM Subculture?
Yeah... Thought so! It is an exact dupe! Even the pans are laid out the same. With the pops of orange and yellow, teals and greens with the warm purples and browns mixed in. It is the perfect affordable dupe if you are an Anastasia Beverly Hills lover but want a cheaper version. I have never tried the Subculture palette, so I cannot comment on the quality difference, but I can say it won't disappoint in terms of price to quality.

The palette is smooth material plastic material (similar to their Delicious palette) as opposed to their metal/ aluminium palettes. I personally prefer the smoother palettes as they feel more luxurious but that's just my preference. On The Rocks also comes with a good sized mirror which I think is fab, especially for the price! It also comes with a brush, which I have kept however, I haven't used!

Here are the matte swatches, without and with flash
 

 The palette contains 14 shades (the same as ABH!) and retails for under £8 from places such as Amazon. It has 12 matte shades from white to light pinks, yellows, oranges, blues, greens, purples and browns and also 2 foiled shades, one gorgeous green and a beautiful gold (LOVE).
And the foiled shades, without and with flash
 
I feel this is a palette you can create so many looks with. I have been loving using the orange (Bellini) and pinks (Body shot) throughout my crease with the foiled gold (Espresso Martini) on top. Another thing I love is the shade names! So cute and give the palette a bit of extra edge. Maybe I am just a sucker for packaging...

The shadows themselves have good colour pay off and I found I could build up colour intensity really well and with ease. They weren't the butteriest I have ever used, more powdery but they blended really well so this didn't matter too much. They have a slight bit of fall out but that doesn't overly bother me as I tend to do my eye make-up before my face. I would never use green or blue without taking precaution to start with - I am nowhere near talented enough! I love the pops of teals and greens for under the eye, as I feel this gives a very different look - and really spring and summer-esque!

Here is my favourite, go-to gold look I have been doing every day for about a week now...

Overall, I really love this! I have been using it religiously and I think I will throughout the spring season. 

What do you think? Have you tried this palette?

Lots of love EP 💕

I can honestly say I am glad to see the back of you (sorry any January babies!) and I always welcome a new month with open arms - new goals, fresh mindset - we are coming for you! Here are a few of the products I have been using religiously throughout January and some I really recommend for you guys to try! Sleek Cosmetics Blush Palette in Californ.I.A This palette is super affordable and it has a shimmer orangey toned shade and two matte shades, one being pinkier and one being more orange.  I tend to mix the two matte shades and apply them to the apples of my cheeks. It is suuuuper pigmented so you don't need much at all but it is lovely and soft and perfect for every day.  Sleek Cosmetics Contour Kit in Light I picked this up purely because of how dinky the packaging is and I thought it would be a perfect handbag product but I have used it pretty much eve...

❤ My Go-To Look ❤ Everybody has a go-to look that we reach for when we don't want to take any risks, we use products that we trust and recreate a look over and over knowing it is flattering and looks good for all occasions. I put a poll on my Instagram and this is the look you wanted to see... So here are my go-to products, why I choose them and how I create my go-to look which is.....  this! How to achieve:  Prep Simple Daily Moisturiser. I always always start with a good moisturiser. I like this one because it lasts for 12 hours and it sinks in to the skin and lasts all day. Kiehl's Reviving Daily Concentrate. My absolute go- to before make up! Smashbox Photo finish Primer. This is my current favourite primer. I used it a while ago and when I ran out I never replaced it but now I have it again I am in love all over again. I find the foundation really clings to it and lasts for hours. Face Estée Lauder Double Wear in Desert...

L'Oreal Pro Glow Foundation ♡

Testing: L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation ♡ I LOVE a good foundation review... and this week I have been testing out the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Foundation. First of all... I have tried ALL of the L'Oreal Infallible range! I have used the 24 hour foundation (in the bottle) in 'Vanilla' for over a year and I really love the consistency and the finish as it is satin to demi-matte and lasts all day!  I have also tried the 24Hour Total Cover (the thicker one) and I am on the fence with it... It has SUPER thick coverage and is between a liquid and mousse consistency... so it depends how you like the feel of that on your skin as it is quite heavy...  But if you love a good coverage that literally doesn't budge - this may be worth a try for you! However, I am not a fan of the 24Hour Matte one (in the squeezy tube) as I feel it is too dry for my already dry-ish skin. I think I just prefer a glowy finish ...  And that is where Pro G...
