Hello, welcome to there's a dupe for that ( a title I have borrowed off my friend because I thought it was an awesome idea). This is a new dupe from the W7 range. Now we all know by now W7 are the dupe kings for the Naked pallets and the Hoola bronzer by benefit. But with the recent obsession by the makeup world of Too Faced it's no surprise that W7 have launched a pallet which looks distinctly familiar to Too Faced Boudoir eyes.
Check out below
Here is the packaging. It is a tin package which closes together, unlike the Too Faced one it is not held by a magnet. Now I don't own the Too Faced Boudoir eyes as at £29 it is quite expensive. When I fist saw the Eye Want It palette I didn't instantly think DUPE, but the layout did remind me of the Too Faced ones which is what led me to see how similar it was. This palette cost me £3.99 in TK Maxx, however on their official website W7 it's £5.95.
The outer packaging is pretty and unusual which is what caught my eye browsing the isles in the shops. Inside there is 9 eye shadows which range from matte to metallic. The shadows are held in by a sponge which has started to lift in the corners.
One issue I have is the shadows have no names at all! I have no idea what they are called and can not find anything online which would help me identify the shades. But never mind. So, left start with the swatches.
This is the shadows with no flash straight out the pan onto the arm, no primer or dampened brush. The first two light shades we're too pale to even see!!! This is a common issue with lots of shadows. They work much better with a primer and damp brush.
This is with a primer and damp brush! Like a lot of cheaper palettes it needs that extra help to stick down as the shadows are quite dusty and kick up a lot of product.
Finally here they are with primer and a flash on the camera. They are beautiful and easy to use once there is a good primer underneath and a damp brush to minimize product fall out.
The middle shade which has the largest pan has a duo-chrome fleck between pink and gold which is really unique.
Final verdict? 7/10
These are a lot better than the W7 naked dupes which can seem a bit hard and chalky to use, these blend a lot better on the eyes and are fun to use. These are not the best eye shadows I have ever used (Urban Decay wins there) but they are certainly usable and make many pretty looks and it is something I will continue to reach for. I think this palette would be great for people who don't own loads of neutral palette's, or want to try some nice easy to use set of neutrals. They make lots of nice, not over the top looks, are give a soft finish which is elegant. I also think from swatches online that these are quite similar to the Too Faced ones. This would also make a great stocking filler for Christmas.
Would I recommenced? Yes! Even at the full price of £5.95 I will spend more money on coffee and cake. I love the packaging and think they are presented very nicely and the products are good. My sister saw I had brought it and got one the next day, she loves it so much!
