Morning lovelies!
I wanted to blog today about this beautiful palette from W7 I picked up last month. I was initially drawn to it because my current makeup routine involves a bronzer, blusher & highlighter from all different palettes & I wanted something that was easier to travel with instead of taking a whole palette just to use one product from it.
First of all, I adore the packaging. (it's pink & gold, what's not to love!?) & it's very easy & light weight to travel with.
I'm going to start with the bronzer. This is quite a dark shade for me so wasn't sure how it would look on my skin, but actually it applies very nicely & isn't too dark. You literally need the smallest amount on your brush, the palette is extremely pigmented.
Onto the blush. I actually adore this colour! Same as the bronzer, you literally only need the tiniest amount on your brush otherwise you end up with bright pink cheeks!
& finally the highlight. I was actually quite disappointed with this. I know I like a strong highlight, but this one was very faint & barely did anything for me. You'd think because the bronzer & blusher are so pigmented, the highlight would be the same but sadly not.
Overall, I'd give this palette a 6/10. Like I say, I wanted it for travelling & just to grab instead of taking more items than I need & it will be great for that, but I'm very disappointed by the highlighter. I think I'll still be smuggling in Sunbeam by Topshop!
Have you tried this palette before? I'd love to hear what you think : )
This looks so pretty I really want to try it! Great post!

Thankyou hun :) x
DeleteI saw this in my local TK Maax and was thinking about purchasing it, but am actually kind of glad I didn't, even in the pan, the highlighter just doesn't look so impressive! I have to say that blush colour is stunning xx

Ah I haven't seen it in TK Maxx, but you're right. It's the highlighter that lets it down :( xx
DeleteI haven't seen this before, but the blusher and bronzer sound really good! x
