Stocking Fillers..

W7 are a cosmetics company who mainly produce cheaper beauty products. I feel their products were really hit and miss, and are more of a try-before-you-buy for fear of disappointment. The products aren't expensive, so you don't necessarily need to splash out to give them a whirl. I would definitely say these were more stocking fillers than beauty must haves..

1. Nail Files

They come in all shapes and sizes, but I'm particularly loving these beauties from W7. They are a fun little prezzie that won't go un-noticed. They have a soft furry side, shown below, and on the other, a plain black file. I the file actually shortens the nails pretty well as the grains are larger than normal. However I would be tempted to use a finer one for shaping.

2. Sparkle Stix
These again are from W7 which is an affordable brand that makes great products. These liners have added sparkle, perfect for the festive season. The colours are bright and long lasting.

3. Nail Polish
Navy has been very 'in' this season, and the one to top was BarryM's Navy. I think these two have done it, they are at a great price and you get 15ml in each bottle. The formulation is great, and very opaque, so only one coat is needed. Pictured; W7 Navy and Graphite.

4. Liquid Lipstick

These two colours are gorgeous, a barbie pink, and a golden nude. They go with any complexion, and add that little bit of sparkle.

 5. Lipstick

W7's new range of lipsticks are all matte. I found them really hard to apply, as they weren't smooth at all and completely dry out your lips. The best of the lot was the red - 'Pillar Box' and a light pink with shimmer (hang on, I thought these were matte lipsticks?!) - 'Lollipop'. 

L-R: Pillar Box, Lollipop, Cocco Kiss & Tender Touch

I absolutely love the logo printed on the top of the bullets, just shows the thought that went into the designing.

6. Mascara

W7 Massive lashes does what it says on the tin. It voluminises and darkens the lashes, to give a fuller appearance. The wand is easy to use and is big enough to coat the whole lash line.

7. Blush & Bronzer

The duo is lovely, the pretty pink and the shimmery bronze go really well together and give you that bronzed glow, while allowing pretty pink cheeks.

Double Act

 This blush is lovely, it has more of a peachy tone to the last, with as much shimmer as the bronzer.

8. Eye Shadows

These are immensely pigmented shadows, perfect for the ultra-glam smoky eye this party season. They have massive amounts of glitter and shimmer, but this does make them rough and harder to work with/blend when on the eye.

 9. Highlights

Give yourself or someone special a vibrant glow this Christmas, with these Moon Light and Sun Shine highlights. The latter is almost a dupe of Benefit's High Beam, and gives practically the same effects for less than half the price.
