W7 is a cheap and cheerful brand that often gets overlooked, I think. It’s stocked in places like The Perfume Shop and Asda and unless you’re a regular shopper in those places, the entire brand could easily pass you by. However, it’s got some very decent budget products and I’ve pulled out the W7 Cheeky Trio of blushers because there aren’t all that many blush palettes around.
I could very easily have swatched these shades from a NARS palette – a warming bronze, a pinky coral shade and a highlighter. I guess you could talk degrees of quality – the shades are where any similarity with NARS ends, but despite the fact that the quality isn’t the same, it’s really not bad. I found them to be soft and easily blendable (I haven’t tested for last) which is about all you need for a cheek colour. The illuminator is a rather poor version in that it isn’t all that illuminating and probably would work best with the bronzing powder as a contour shade.
But otherwise, for the on-offer price of £5.99, I think the W7 Cheeky Trio is pretty good. I like the tin packaging, although it’s not portable, but as a decent, staple blush set to keep in your stash, I’m finding it hard to criticise. As far as on-line stockists go, it’s HERE.

I was introduced to W7 foundation by a friend who was doing my makeup for a night out and it’s amazing! It now sits alongside my YSL and Dior foundations and I’d go for the W7 over the others when it comes to doing a flawless base on my oily/combo spotty (does’t know what it’s doing) 30 something skin.
W7 is almost a dupe for Urban Decay, I love all of their palettes and they definitely need more coverage online! x

I’ve always loved the W7 palettes, I’ve got an eyeshadow palette which is a great and inexpensive dupe of the Naked2 palette and it’s never let me down! 🙂
Apparently their dupe for Benefit’s They’re Real mascara is very decent.
I always walk past this brand because it looks like a rip off of the urban decay products but i have to admit it does look pretty nice in your pics!!
Maybe, just maybe I’ll check it out! 😉 My bank will appreciate it more I think!

W7 has some good dupes.. my fave is a Benefit Benefit Dandelion blush dupe in Candy Floss. They also do Honalulu, a dupe for Benefit Hoola although it’s slightly darker, and my 2nd fave, Honey Queen is a dupe for Benefit Sugarbomb
I think I’ve seen this brand in Peacocks too. I’m yet to try anything from w7 but this palette looks lovely xx

I did a review for this brand a while back and I think this brand is totally overlooked, I really liked it! It is hard to find sometimes but the price points are so good!
