W7 PhotoShoot Foundation - Sand Beige

W7 is becoming quite popular now, I could only get this on the market, but it's popping up in more places.

I spotted this the other week at one of those stalls you see in shopping centres and dapped some on my hand and was lovely and dewy. It was only £2.99 so thought it was worth a punt.

From the bottle it looks very similar to my normal Collection 2000 foundation, but it has one massive draw back. No pump dispenser!! How do they think we get the stuff out? I was having to bash this on the back of my hand to get some out, then trying to get it back in when I used too much, pah! I'm hoping there is something I can buy to decant it into because I hate bottles like this.



Once I got the foundation out, I panicked and thought it was going to be far too yellow, but it blends in beautifully. It's very buildable, and just one layer managed to cover an angry blemish I've been sporting recently, I'd say it gives fair to medium coverage, it feels smooth and not heavy at all.

As for the 16 hour claim, I don't intend wearing it that long, perhaps one day I'll give it a go, at the moment it's looking good and has been on for a fair few hours now.


This is my "that flash is so bright but MUST NOT BLINK" face.

Famous By Sue Moxley

Why can I not find hardley any swatches of these polishes online? They're brilliant!

My lovely, well trained other half clearly has good taste because he actually picked this one up thinking I'd like the colour and I do!

Sue Moxley is currently on sale at Superdrug, all items are half price so when I was in having my weekly mooch, I saw this range (I always ignored it before because I always assumed it was out of my price range) and honed in on the half price label. From what I've read, the range is being removed from a lot of Superdrugs and being sold through Argos which is a shame because its really good from what I've seen. This polish was about £2.49-ish.

I got 3 polishes, which I'll come to in other posts. This one is Shade 14; how dull is it when they don't name them? I'll hereby name this Bora Bora! because it reminds me of the shades of bluey green sea they have there.

It goes on an absolute dream, and opaque in only 1 coat, dries to a high shine and removes nicely as well. The depth of colour is great, and so vibrant. I love it! I think I'll be using this to do some Konad as well because of how pigmented it is, I think it will be perfect.


I smudged this one. :(
