W7 Catwalk Concealer

W7 is a budget brand from the UK. I am always drawn to these types of brands because who doesn't love a good bargain? :) I feel that if I don't like the product I haven't paid too much to be concerned about binning it. Plus when a makeup product does work for me it's certainly a bonus that it is cheap to replace when needed!

 One of my Chemist Warehouse trips for prescription medication lead me to the W7 counter, I believe the only store in Australia that stocks this brand. I figured that for $4.99 for a concealer wasn't going to break the bank.

 Taken from the W7 website "With a creamy consistency and long lasting formula, this product can cover, camouflage and hide blemishes and redness."

The concealer is packaged in a typical concealer tube. As you can see, it has a doe foot wand for application.

This product is quite creamy in consistency.

When I first applied the Catwalk concealer, I found it to be a little too yellow toned and more of a medium shade than the light that it is labelled as. I put it away, glad that I had only paid $5 for it, I am also glad that I didn't throw it away, lol. Finally, it dawned on me that instead of trying to highlight my under eye area after foundation, I could use this concealer to colour correct before foundation!

For the purpose of colour correcting, I find this concealer fantastic. It is a great shade to neutralise my dark circles.

To apply, I just dab it along my dark circles, then blend out with my finger or concealer brush. The creamy consistency makes it very blendable, yet still providing coverage that I need without becoming cakey.

The W7 Catwalk Concealer works great under foundation, it blends out well without totally disappearing. I'm happy I found a use for this concealer as a colour corrector because it really works well this way.

Have you used any products from the W7 range?

    Clever Indie! I haven't tried any of their concealers yet, but their lippies, blushes and shadows are terrific value. Glad you found a use for it - I'll take a look (when I find my new local CW) as I'm always after a yellowish concealer - thanks doll! ♥♥♥

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
