I heard a lot of hype about this palette being a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. It's not, It's no where close! Now I don't actually own Naked3 but I have used it before and the quality of these eye shadows are nothing in comparison!
First of all the packaging is awful. After having the palette for only a few days and only opening a few times the lid came off !!! Now I can slot it back together, but every time I open it, it just comes off again so I tend to just click it on the top instead of properly securing it now. Very annoying!
You can see from the swatches that they are not very pigmented at all. The lighter shades are barely noticeable. I did use a primer at the top of each of the swatches, which is why they are more noticeable at the top. Without a primer even the darker shades are barely showing up. The eyeshadows are very powdery and leave a lot of fallout under the eyes and a mess in the palette itself.
I have used them numerous times on my eyes and not once have I been impressed with them. I think this palette is around the €7 mark, but it's a complete waste of money in my opinion. It has put me off trying any of the other palettes from W7 too. This is so disappointing because I am obsessed with the W7 liquid eyeliner and Absolute Lashes Mascara.
Have you tried this palette or any of the palettes from W7 ? What are your thoughts ?

I LOVE W7 EYELINER! Don't be put off, their eyeliner in my opinion is better than other high end ones, however I was tempted to try this palette out and the packaging looks so clumpy and horrid let alone the 'chalk' like shadows and lack of pigmentation. You should try their liquid eyeliner but stay well away from shadows.

thanks for your honesty! I was actually thinking of getting this palette because it was a 'dupe'. You just saved me seven euro... :) x

That looks so disappointing! Every Sunday, I go shopping with my mom, and every Sunday, I debate picking up one of these. So glad I've read this now, I can spend my money on something else haha!

Making it my mission to comment on other blogs lol. I actually like their palettes they are no where near dupes but ideal for a teenager starting out. I have the naked palettes and I personally don't think they are worth the €40 odd definite;y try out the the Make Up Revolution, now there is value for money x
