Sparkle In The Fall ~ Product Review ~ BornPrettyStore*




Hello there lovelies! I'm thrilled to be bringing fresh new reviews for you all and to give a few style and item ideas for the autumn/winter months. BornPretty is an amazing store online which sells all things from nails to home and garden wares; I've enjoyed viewing the website and getting ideas for upcoming looks at an affordable price. This review is based on two Nail products which really caught my eye!

On the Left we have a Purple Holographic Nail Varnish and to the right is a Rhinestone flat back wheel with different sized decorations.

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

----------------------------------------------

Purple Holographic Holo Glitter Nail Polish 6ml


  • A 6ml sized product which is quite on the small side but a little of this varnish goes a long way!
  • The packaging is chic but with limited wording to it, yet I do like how both the logo and product size including the website is mentioned in a bold font easy to read.
  • For the varnish itself I was pleasantly surprised with the effect, It was my first holographic nail polish so I didn't know how much of an impact it could give overall; I felt that the soft purple shade was a perfect tone for the rainbow blast of glitter to stand out.
  • This is a long wearing varnish that remained on the nails up to a week before I noticed any signs of chipping.
  • I would recommend 2-3 coats of this polish per nail on top of a basecoat, or a 1 coat layer over another varnish shade would be ideal for added sparkle to any manicure!
  • The consistency of the polish wasn't at all thick or too runny, with no noticeable streaks through the application.
  • Overall I adore this nail effect and I hope Bornpretty would make a larger sized version in the future!

2mm/3mm/4mm/5mm Mini Colorful Rhinestone wheel


  • This is a perfect tool to use when you want to add any rhinestones to your nails, whether they'd be natural or artificial they adhere to the surface with a simple basecoat.
  • I love the fact that the rhinestones come in a variety of sizes from small to large and set out in their own compartments, making it easier to select with the turn table cover that reveals each section at a time.
  • The rhinestones are flat backed which helps them cling to the polish better with a topcoat to seal them into position once the base coat has dried. 
  • When the light catches, the hues of the rhinestones really show through at different angles, almost a rainbow effect which looks beautiful.
  • With having the 4 different sizes there is something for any nail shape and size so the creations you can make from these are endless!
Experimenting with the rhinestones!

I'd love to hear your thoughts about these products or any you may have seen from Bornpretty's website! Enjoy creating works of art on your nails and stand out this season!

Natural And Glamorous with W7*



Hey beauties! Now I know it has been such a long time since I last did a collective set of products or a review; Life has been pretty wild with launching my online store and recent events so it feels like my poor little blog has not had the attention it deserves.. But not to fear! I'm back with lots of new posts which I'm excited to share with you all.

So some of you may or may not know that I'm obsessed with high-street make-up from drugstores or places such as TopShop etc, It's always fun to go on the hunt for a good bargain that not only is value for money but it does the job good! 

W7 has been one of those brands that has never failed to amaze me, they are always in the current trends, and bringing out ranges each season. I'm delighted to share with you some of their newest products since winter, with my own personal thoughts on them.


Products: 
W7 Nail Varnish - 140 Buff
W7 3D Glitter Kiss Lipstick - Star Burst
W7 In The Buff Eyeshadow Palette - 12 Eyeshadows
W7 City slicker Eye Makeup Remover
W7 Souffle Mascara - Blackest Black

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

----------------------------------------------

W7 Nail Varnish 15ml - 140 Buff test and thoughts


  • Sophisticated and classy colour a beautiful chocolate shade.
  • Applies well to the nail; even one coat is full coverage!
  • Dries with a glossy shine, but for better wear and protection of the colour a topcoat would be advised.
  • Lasted up to 4 days of wear until I noticed chipping/peeling, which to me isn't bad considering the price of the product and how often I paint my nails anyway!
  • A great go-to shade if you want a polish that can compliment most outfits.
  • Perfect for a shade that isn't too obvious but subtle and nude.




----------------------------------------------

W7 3D Glitter Kiss Lipstick - Star Burst test and thoughts


  • Beautiful variety of shades from the 3D glitter kiss collection, a lipstick with soft shimmer particles for a plump glitter effect.
  • I adored the mirror packaging, and the section underneath the lipstick which gives you a glimpse of the product itself is always handy to see the shade before you buy.
  • The lipstick texture when applied on the skin did have me concerned at first due to it being such a glittery product, sometimes shimmer/glitter can be too rough or harsh but due to these particles, but being so fine it glided on a treat. 
  • This lipstick was also quite moisturizing, not matte at all; it was a subtle combination of the actual lipstick and shimmer for the overall glossy effect.
  • A great shade to wear for a party or event and within the right lighting the shimmer would be noticeable.
  • The lipstick has a soft scent to it, which I must say I find an added plus to a lip product!



----------------------------------------------

W7 In The Buff Eyeshadow Palette - 12 Eyeshadows test and thoughts


  • 12 eyeshadow tones which are all nude that can be used to create a natural day to day look, or a smokey eyed evening/event look.
  • Contents are securely packed within a tin case just like the Naked's 2 & 3 by UD, with an eye shadow double ended synthetic brush/shadow sponge brush included.
  • Has been classed as the dupe for UrbanDecay's naked palette 2! W7 of course is a lot cheaper. The pigmentation is divine especially when used wet.
  • There are more shimmers than matte shades which is a shame, I'm looking forward to seeing a complete matte palette from W7 though, fingers crossed there will be one!
  • The textures I noticed were soft although this did occur some fall out a simple sweep of my powder brush simply removed it. They blended very well too especially the matte shades.
  • Each shade is very wearable with a warm tone to them with a few cooler toned shades added in.




----------------------------------------------

W7 City slicker Eye Makeup Remover test and thoughts


  • I love the fact that the bottle is see-through so you can see the awesome effect of this bi-phased oil formula.
  • A light consistency that not only removes make-up but moisturized the skin too.
  • Fully absorbs into the skin not leaving any residue.
  • Removes tough make-up even waterproof mascara!

----------------------------------------------

W7 Souffle Mascara - Blackest Black test and thoughts


  • The mascara consistency is light and whipped, yet also very pigmented.
  • The brush is a thick shape which helps give the lashes volume and fuller coverage from root to tip, when applied in a zig zag motion.
  • I only applied one coat, seeing as the brush was that thick yet I did notice how it curved my lashes with a wide eyed effect. To make it more dramatic I would recommend two coats and application to the lower lashes also.
