Ok I have had this Lightly
Toasted eye palette along
with Up in Smoke for some time and I do think they are
long overdue a review. So we'll start today with the In
the Buff: Lightly Toasted and
tomorrow we'll do the In the Night: Up in Smoke.
If there’s is one
thing I love most about W7 Cosmetics is the affordability of the brand and as we
all know the W7
Eye Palettes are dupes to
the Urban Decay Naked palettes with the exception of In
The Night.
They are the perfect
palette if you’re just starting out with eye-shadows and are still learning
which shades suit you best and how to apply them.
As with all three
other palettes In The Buff, InThe Nude and In
The Night, the packaging is cheap and cheerful, a simple metal tin
with a dual-tip applicator, no mirror and each set consisting of 12 colours with
a combination of shimmers and mattes.
In the Buff: Lightly
Toasted is a collection of
earthly colours, neutral beige, brown and bronzes with the exception of one, so
let’s have a look at each one (working left to right).
Teddy Bear: -
a
very light cream, almost champagne colour with a shimmering finish. Wonderland: - a soft rosy pink tone with a shimmering
finish.
Cracker: - a light beige brown with a matt finish.
Happy: - a rose copper tone with a shimmering
finish.
Lady Luck: -
a
warm brown almost hazelnut colour with a matte finish.
Twister: - a very warm golden beige with a shimmering
finish.
DiDi: - a
copper brown with a shimmering finish.
Delilah:
- a dark brown with a
slight olive green undertone, shimmering finish.
Magic: -
a
cooper pink brown (if that makes sense) with a shimmering finish.
It’s a Dream: - a reddish brown tone with a pinkie
undertone shimmering finish.
Up
in Smoke: - a black
matte with tiny multicolour glitter particles.
Dawn: - a
blue steel grey with tiny sliver glitter particles.
This palette is so
versatile; you can create a multitude of looks that can so easily take you from
a soft day look to dramatic night look. The pigmentation is strong in all the
colours, they are so easy to build and blend but…….. Yes there’s a but, watch
out for the fall-outs and use a good eye primer which really helps intensify
the colours.
So there you have it,
my thoughts and view one yet another great eye palette from W7
