The £4 Charlotte Tilbury Dupe from W7

I've always regarded W7 as a 'cheap' brand,they can't be found in many places and a lot of their things appeal to much younger audiences then myself. Until recently, when I had a good look and realised that in fact some of the things they have are absolute gems! A lot of their products are dupes for the higher end things, such as the In the Mood Palettes is a dupe of the UD Basics, Honolulu is a dupe for Benefit's Hoola. 

This dupe from W7 is a Charlotte Tilbury one, on the more luxurious side of the brands their items are similar to. Let me introduce to you W7 Hollywood Bronze & Glow at only £3.99 you can achieve the same/exact look that I am guessing the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow gives you at £49.00. I don't own the higher end version, nor do I think I ever will but just by looking at pictures of it and putting them next to the W7 item I am pretty sure it is the exact same. 

If I had the actual product at hand, this comparison would be a lot easier but I don't think you need the physical product, just by looking at pictures and other people's reviews you can tell the difference. The biggest one is the price, W7's version is more than half the price of the CT one which is insane! Then we have the packaging, W7 have there's in a plastic cover, with a see through lid and a small mirror inside on the top, whereas the CT one is a lot more bulkier just looking at it, it has a big mirror on the inside, rose gold detailed and her signature logo on the front. 

That's all the comparing, now onto the actual product. It's a highlighting and contouring palette in one and is a beauty to take away with you as it really isn't that heavy/bulky. I am in shock at how much I like this product, the bronzer is stunning and gives you a lovely glow to the skin with its warm undertones - very natural. Then the highlighter is just something completely different, not the biggest fan of them but this one works nicely with the bronzer and you don't really need anything else on your cheeks. Neither products are highly pigmented but that is expected with the price, they are perfect to build up and give you a heavier look

Now, even thought I don't own the CT version, I can tell you that no way can something compare to anything that is a high end product just because of the things that go into to make it 'high end' .But I still love this from W7 and it is perfect if you are on a tighter budget like me! 

There is all sorts that W7 Offer, and everything can be find on Xtra's.  Have you ever tried anything from the brand?

Blogmas Day 15 || Clothes Show Live Haul+Photos ♥

Sunday was a day that I have been looking forward to for over 6 months and I couldn't wait for the day to arrive! It was time for my second year at the clothes show and I was beyond excited and couldn't contain my excitement...we set off early in the morning (7am is a killer!) and arrived at 9.30 which isn't bad to spend the whole day shopping and then view the show at the end of day! Here is some of the things that I bought, I won't go into detail as you will be seeing everything over the coarse of the next few weeks and the rest of blogmas may feature a few of these products!
First up..a few pictures from the day!

I met some of the Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model Girls who are stunning in real life btw.

Also met the gorg and talented singer Scott Innes who basically sang to me! 

The first stand that we saw as we entered was the Company/Cosmo stand where we could buy a magazine goody bag. It came with lots of little samples which are pictured on the left as well as the current issue of both magazines that I was going to buy on the way home! So this saved me a trip to the service stations.

Next up was a goody bag that is no stranger to you all as it has been featured on my blog before - SO SUSAN, had four of their newly released products for £5 all of which I love and will be reviewing very soon.

Next was a stand that I didn't even know would be there, W7 who also have the sister brand Smooch which I have previously reviewed not that long ago on the blog. The £10 goody bag was filled with goodies from Smooch that are truly amazing and I can't wait to use them all!

Of course you can't leave the clothes show without visiting BarryM and they had a bag packed with treats from Nails to Eyes and some lip products as well!
