I really quite like W7 as a brand. Their products are all super affordable, and I’ve tried quite a few of their products and I’ve only ever been disappointed a couple of times. I spotted the new W7 releases on Twitter, and when I saw their new Bronze Queen eyeshadow palette I immediately hunted it down online and ordered it, as it looked absolutely gorgeous. I managed to find it on eBay here for only £3.95 with free delivery, and it arrived within two days which was very impressive.
The new W7 Bronze Queen Eyeshadow Palette is made from brown plastic and is a narrow rectangular shape with gold writing on the top. I have a few W7 palettes, and none of them look as nice as this one does.. it looks like a luxury palette which crazy for under £4. Inside the palette, there are seven eyeshadows alongside a dual-ended brush and sponge tip applicator as well as a mirror. When I saw the inside of the palette I knew it had been ‘inspired’ by the Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow Palettes, as the layout and design/shapes are identical. I couldn’t put my finger on which palette it looked like but after searching online it’s definitely a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Warm Eye Makeup Palette which retails for £37.50 which is pretty pricey compared to the £3.95 I paid for this W7 palette.
When I swatched the first shade I was a little disappointed as assumed that the palette was a letdown, but it drastically improved from the second shadow onwards. I’ve looked online at swatches of the Bobbi Brown Palette, and amazingly the swatches are on par quality and pigmentation wise but seeing as I don’t own the Bobbi Brown equivalent, I can only make visual comparisons. The W7 Bronze Queen Eyeshadow Palette contains five matte shadows, one shimmer and one glitter shade. All of the shades are buttery soft except the glitter shadow, which is a little gritty like glitter shadows tend to be. I’ve been really impressed with their blendability, and with how easy they are to work with and the only issue I’ve had is with the glitter shade. I’ve found the best way to apply the glitter is with your fingertip, or by dampening your eyeshadow brush but once it’s on your lid it really is a beautiful shadow and would be amazing for nights out or special occasions when you want a little sparkle.
I remember lusting after the Bobbi Brown palette when it launched last year, but in my opinion you’d be crazy to pay £37.50 for a palette when this £3.95 alternative is so similar in terms of pigmentation. Obviously the packaging isn’t on par with Bobbi Brown, but I can overlook that especially when the packaging is still really nice and it certainly doesn’t look or perform like a £4 palette.. I’m very impressed W7.
