Bargain Beauty: W7 In The Night Palette (Smokey Shades) Review

 Just before Christmas i signed up for a blogger beauty swap, with a budget of £20 bargain products became my new best friend. One of the items i included was the W7 In the night palette, which contains shades so beautiful i purchased one for myself. The packaging is nothing to write home about, it has the shape of a watercolour palette which is relatively common since the Naked 2 palette took the beauty world by storm. W7 palettes are essentially a more purse friendly Naked palette, compare the W7 nude palette and you'll see what i mean. But not being one for a natural look i was drawn to the more vibrant shimmery shades of the In The Night palette.


Each shade contains tiny particles of glitter making it the perfect evening palette with a some added glamour. The sheerness of each shade varies seemingly from light to dark, with some of the pale shades being almost completely sheer with just hints of glitter. The purple and pink shades are incredibly rich and pigmented which is impressive for such a cheap palette. 


Like most cheap eyeshadows they are bulked up using talc which means they are a little more powdery and delicate than your average shadow. However a gentle hand and a good quality primer will ensure you get the most out of this bargain beauty product. As the shadows are bulked up with talc fallout is inevitable. I did notice some fallout, both glitter and pigment although this was almost eliminated once i had used primer before application.



Shades from left to right
Dusty: Sheer dusky pink glitter
Wonderland: Sheer rose gold shimmer with white glitter
Summer: Sheer sparkly silver grey
Atlanta: White with a slight lilac shimmer
Abracadabra: Metallic grey tone lilac
Top Hat: Metallic blue based purple with pink sheen
Razzamataz: Similar to Top Hat although is more blue based and has pink glitter
Lady Luck: Rose shimmer with white and pink glitter
Laura E: Metallic copper with gold undertones
Party Pooper: Very sheer pearl shade

Bologna: Matt black with white glitter

I would highly recommend this palette for anyone new to makeup or for those looking for something a little more dramatic. It can be found for less than £5 and is easily available, i have seen it in Tk maxx and argos as well as plenty of online sites too. Have you tried any of the W7 palettes? Let me know what you think!
