Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today this has been requested, and
it's been quite difficult to do, right.
Because this brand is everywhere, but
not enough of it is everywhere.
So originally I wanted to do a full face of W7,
which is a brand that is in different places.
I swear I've seen it in, like, a garden center
before, but it just kind of pops up everywhere.
W7 is an extremely affordable brand, and I
just want to see what we could do.
I have six products, so I don't really have a
full face, but enough to get a kind of idea.
My fiancee got these for me when he was out.
He was like, do you want any of this?
Because sometimes if there's, like, obscure brands,
he'll take a picture and show me. I was like, yes,
oh, my God.
People have asked me to do this,
so that's exactly what I'm doing today.
We have a contour palette.
We have an eyeshadow palette.
We have this brow kit, a
foundation, lipstick, and mascara.
Just before we get into that, if
this is your first time here. Hi, my name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on
YouTube, but also in real life.
It's my goal to help you become a pro
yourself or just someone who's really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you are
interested in, then do please consider subscribing.
Okay, so we just get into it? Let's start with this.
This is the W7 Brow Bar, and
in here we have two very... three looking
brushes, and it's kind of like brow doer.
It does brows.
So that's the picture.
Not very impressive, I must admit.
Like, I wouldn't look at that and be
like, oh, my God, I need my brows to look like this.
And I don't know if you can see at the
top here, but we also have some brow templates,
so they will come in extremely not handy for
my eyebrows because they're just really thick.
Here it all is.
And with most reviews like this, I'm going to
do my best to make it work for me.
I'm not going to be like,
woah, it's crazy, it doesn't work.
I'm going to try and make it work.
I am actually going to skip out on the stencils
because I just know they're not going to fit, so
there really would be no point for me.
But what I am going to do is
take a look at this powder. 1-2-3-4, right.
There is a tiny little brush on the inside there, but I,
I think my hands are almost too big to use.
So let me take this little one.
This is very much like, you get it free
with face paint, you know what I mean?
Okay, so we're going to take
number four, which is this wonderful... it's not black.
I would say it was a gray looking black.
Yeah, it's very gray, can you see?
So if you do have dark, dark eyebrows,
it's not, probably not the best to use.
I didn't think it would be very difficult for
a brand that's more affordable to achieve a black
pigment, but I know, you know, we don't tend to use
pitch black in eyebrows, but this isn't even... this is gray.
This is a shade of gray.
1 second.
Even if I wanted to get my brow straight, I
can't because the pigmentation is so gray that it's just
going to look like shadow below my eyebrow.
What's happening here?
You can tell when something, especially a brow product,
is a little bit cheaper because it looks flat.
There's no kind of depth to the eyebrow, which is fine.
Okay, I'm gonna...
I'm... I don't... okay.
We don't have a primer, so I'm literally going to put
on very quickly some of the Rare Beauty eye primer.
I would definitely say that if, back to the brows, sorry,
that if you were going to invest in or if
you wanted to save some money in some places, but
maybe not splurge, but maybe spend a little bit more
on others, eye brows are maybe one of the areas to
kind of spend a little bit more money.
Eyeshadow, I think. I don't know.
It's difficult to get eyeshadow wrong nowadays
in terms of the formula, but there
definitely are some brands that do.
But I do have to say, ever since I used
the eyeshadow palette from Essence, I'm a changed human being.
I believe that affordable eyeshadows do exist.
So this is the Socialite palette.
"Indulgent multi-textured pressed pigment palettes."
And actually, when you open up the
palette, that looks quite impressive to me.
Like, that's a good kind of neutral kind of night out.
Oh, there's a brush.
That's kind of a good palette, right?
Like, the shimmers look really nice.
The matte look really beautiful.
The brush is questionable, it is.
I'm not sure why there's this flat... I guess... I don't know.
But like I said, I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt.
So I'm not going to use the
brush, but let's create something nice.
Okay, let's start out with this shade Nouveau Riche,
which is this kind of burgundy, I guess.
And let me tell you, this time
I didn't just get purples on purpose.
This was the only palette that was available.
They do kind of have, if I remember,
they kind of do like the... you know when brand.
copy, Urban Decay's like Naked palettes?
I believe they have those as well.
Doesn't smell like anything.
It doesn't even smell like, you know sometimes cheaper makeup
can smell? It doesn't even smell like that.
It's very soft.
It's blending very nicely, actually.
Should we grab that, their blending brush
and see how... it's very long.
Oh, it's very soft, though. It does feel a bit cheap.
I don't really feel like it's doing
much, to be honest with you.
So we'll get rid of that immediately.
Okay, it's not bad, you know.
It's quite nice.
So far, so good.
I feel like, you know what?
If you wear eye makeup every single day.
Maybe to work or something like that.
And you get through eye shadow quite quickly.
Something like this might be a good solution
because you're not spending too much money.
How much was it?
I have a receipt like the olden days.
5.99.
Not bad.
Not bad for a big palette like this.
5.99 what, every six months? Every year? Depending how quickly
you'll get through these colors, isn't a bad deal.
They're blending quite nicely.
And actually these brushes are the Essence brushes.
So we're on a good affordable thing here.
Good affordable timeline.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Okay.
I'm not unimpressed.
Could there be a little bit more pigmentation?
Yes, but for 5.99, for the whole palette, fine.
It's fine.
Let's go into Polish, which is this kind of,
I want to say darker brown, but it
doesn't really look darker brown in any way.
I just want to deepen up
these sockets a little bit here.
Oh, it's kind of the same color.
Yeah, that's pretty much the same color.
Wait, what? 1 second.
Is that an eye primer? Sh*t.
13.
There's like a cream in this corner.
I wish I used that now.
Okay, you know what, let's just take it easy.
I'm very caught between High Society here and
then this shade, which is called Extravagance.
High Society is like this.
Extravagance is more pinky.
Let's go for Extravagance. I think that'll be nice.
Let's just do that on the whole eye lid. That is nice.
You know what that is?
That's extravagant, that is. Okay.
It's not terrible.
I kind of like that.
It's very creamy, it's very soft.
It's not getting hard in the pan as
I rub it like some shimmers do and
then they become like almost unmovable. Cute, okay.
How do we make this more exciting though?
Cause all the colors are the same.
Let's go for RSVP just here, which is like a nude.
I'm just going to go back in with that Nouveau
Riche and just add some to the corner here.
See how much we can build that up.
You know what, this is nice. I quite like this.
This is quite nice.
Oh, a f*cking fly just came in.
This is what happens when you have the windows open.
Okay, should we do...
I don't have concealer, so we're not going to do that.
Okay, here's the deal with
the situation with the foundation.
I did ask my fiance to get a shade that wasn't too
dark, if anything, lighter, and this is the one he got.
And this is horrifically dark for me.
So what I'm going to do, I'm going to try it on
one side just to see the texture and how it is.
And then I will brighten it up
and kind of make it match.
But I want to see the texture
without any interference from anything else.
You know, you can't give a product a
bad review because of the shade match.
That's your fault.
But I do want to kind of experience the texture.
Oh sorry, this is the It's Glow Time Radiant Foundation.
It kind of smells like cheap foundation.
Okay, so let's let that sit for a little bit.
Actually, you know what?
I don't know whether it's because...
I'm going to have to take this off.
It's burning my face.
This is actually burning my face.
Where's all my stuff?
Where's all my things?
Okay, that did burn a little bit.
However, I do have to say I did just do
a full face of makeup and then remove my makeup.
So my skin is probably a little bit sensitive.
Let me just put on one of my
normal foundations, and then I will come back
and we'll have a look at the contour palette.
You know what, I want to try another color under the
eye, just so we get any kind of difference.
I'm going to try Worldly. No, let's try Polished
again under the eyes just to see if it
does have any kind of different shades to it.
No, it's very similar.
Very similar.
Like, it looks just the same as that
kind of like reddy.
A little bit browner, maybe, but it looks very samey.
I really like that, like, pinky shimmer, though.
I think that's really nice.
Okay, let's take a look at this.
W7 Lift and Sculpt Palette.
Face shaping.
Where can you read that? Face Shaping
Contour Palette.
And this is it inside.
This gives me very drop-shipped
AliExpress vibes.
It's a cream contour.
So we have three highlight options.
Let's just go straight in with
this, like middle tone right here.
And let's use that a bit under her eyes.
Blend it out properly in a minute.
When was the last time you just contoured with
just bright and dark instead of an actual highlight
product, you know? And then just left it as that?
I just like using actual highlighter.
It's okay, looks all right.
It is giving that very like, you know, back
in the day when every single brand
was releasing really poor quality cream palettes.
Now, none of these, to me, are contour shades.
They have too much kind of, like red or yellow to them.
But of course, we're going to use them just
to try. I would rather have something else a
little bit grayer in tone, a little bit colder.
Let's use the shade, Contour.
Oh, this is bronze.
Okay, these are contours.
So let's go for this one here.
You know what, it's actually not too bad.
The color again, I would prefer slightly
cold, so it looked more like shadow.
It's not the worst thing ever, though.
Would I use it again?
Probably not.
It's just slightly too orangey for me.
Contour is meant to be, you know,
the shadow of your bone structure.
And this is just, bronze. This is bronze. This is bronzer.
Okay, so this is a lipstick from W7.
Extremely, extremely affordable.
And this is the shade Original.
Oh. It gives very...
The packaging is very familiar. Nice and nude.
It smells like lipstick.
It could be, like, vanilla, maybe.
That's quite nice. I can't feel it.
It's not very heavy.
I find sometimes with some more affordable lipsticks
they have this smell that turns into a taste, you know?
Whereas I can't really taste anything.
And it's a nice nude.
That is really, really nice.
W7 lipstick. Who would have thought?
Okay, so I also have the Lashtastic Falsh Lash Effect Mascara.
Let's take a look at this brush
and see what it looks like.
God, that's an intense one.
Very full. Okay.
I haven't had my lashes... what's it called? Permed in a while or lifted.
It's quite nice.
It has a little tug right here, which is nice.
Okay, so it's okay.
I would like a lift on my
lash, especially with a brush that big.
But you can see they're still kind of pointing downwards.
Which would maybe go with a thing.
It has kind of grouped some lashes together.
The way it combs through is quite
sporadic, to be honest with you.
It's not very consistent, but it's not terrible.
It's a mascara, and I think it would do.
So this is it.
That's all I have from W7.
The brows, the foundation, were a bit of a fail,
but I know there are some other things that maybe
I could have got, maybe some concealer.
The brows, I'm looking at them now, maybe because I'm just used
to them, but I feel like they're not as crappy...
Oh no, they are still crappy.
I can see that gray, oh well. The highlight and
contour actually make a nice kind of, like,
highlight and bronzer kind of duo.
I think that's quite a nice combination.
And the eyeshadow, I'm really impressed by the sparkle.
If I had, like, a dark, dark brown in
the palette or even the black, I would put
a little bit of that in the corners.
And I think we'll be good because
that's a really, really nice eye shadow.
I quite like it.
I would love to know your opinions below.
Do let me know what you think.
Is there anything from W7 you have tried that
you liked that maybe I should get my hands on?
Let me know below.
