1 Brand FOTD: NO7


Hello my lovelies, how are you?
I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying this lovely sunshine?
Today I thought I would share with you a 1 brand FOTD featuring 1 of my favourite drugstore brands, No7. I have to admit a little bit of bias for No7 as for a long time (before I became a serious make up junkie), I used to believe that No7 was high end, (I know, crazy huh?) though that has changed and I  now know better. I do still think that it can be expensive for what it is but having said that, No7 are always on offer with vouchers galore that can be had and don't forget those wonderful Boots points that are collected too.
Even though I have some serious bias, I will be honest in my thoughts on each product and say how they worked for me, whether it was good or bad or just plain old meh. I will say that there are a couple of items that were sent out to me for free though I don't think it had anything to do with my blog as I think a fair few people were sent the same too. I will mention which ones they are when I come to them. 
Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer here £19.50(I did receive this free): WNBA have only used this the once and can't give a full on review but on first impressions, I am not blown away by this primer. I do like that it is a cream and not a clear, silicone liquid, it sinks into the skin lovely and hydrates enough for me to not have to moisturise before (especially when using a tinted moisturiser), I would not buy this myself. 2/5
Triple Protection Tinted Moisturiser in Fair here for £12: WNBA With a tinted moisturiser, there isn't any coverage which is fine with me as I don't like to feel my make up when I am wearing it. This TM is perfectly light, gives a beautiful glow and lasts a good few hours though it didn't last longer than the 8 hours I like. 2/5
Match Made Concealer Warm Ivory here for £7.50: WBA. I was extremely surprised by this concealer, because it is a stick form I was expecting it to be too drying for me. However, this little number is so hydrating & creamy, I can use it under my eyes (at a pinch). Great coverage too. 3.5/5
No7 Perfect Light Loose Powder in Fair here for £10.50: WBA Oh boy is this an amazing powder, it is so soft that it feels almost non existent to the touch. It sets my make up perfectly and helps with oil control. Did I mention that you get loads? 20 grams to be exact. Amazing huh?
5/5
No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing & Brightening Eye Base £7 here
WBA and I have, (this is a repurchase for me): It is blooming brilliant! My eyeshadow do not budge when I use this little baby. It is creamy and not drying in the slightest. I highly recommend it. 5/5
Eyeshadow Palette: Sadly, I don't think you can buy this now as it was released for Christmas last year, however, it does give you an idea of what their eyeshadows are like in palettes. I do prefer the single form eyeshadows though saying that, this is a lovely palette, a tad powdery but still lovely to work with. 2/5
Midnight Lash Mascara £13.50 here: WBA (This was sent to me). I rarely like non waterproof mascaras but this is 1 one the mascaras I really liked. I gives great volume and even lengthens my little stubby lashes, love it and the brush is massive too.  4/5
Extreme Lengths Waterproof Mascara Black £12.50 here: I received this in a freebie gift that No7 do quite alot. I have been using this in conjunction with the midnight lash above and it adds that little something extra. Can I say how much I love this brush? Just brilliant. 5/5
Amazing Eyes EyeLiner £7.50 here: 
WNBA. This is just an OK eyeliner, it does the job but smudges on me and that is not a good thing when your eyes are sensitive. 1/5
Mosiac Perfectly Bronzed £12 here: WNBA only because I rarely use bronzers and when I do, only to warm up my face. I Like matte bronzers and this is more of a satin I think, though I did use the pink & coral swirled together as a blusher and was lovely. 2/5
Midnight Enchantment Blusher: WNBA only because this is old and I don't think you can buy it anymore. Having said that, I do genuinely like this as a blush topper, it gives a lovely glow that isn't too much. It is perfect for the no make up make up look. 2.5/5
High Shine Lip Crayon in Delicate Pink £9 here: WBA as this is such a beautiful shade on me, it is the perfect MLBB shade on me. It is so creamy and soft, I just love it. 5/5
Lipuscious Gloss in Marshmellow: (I recieved this in a swap) I don't think this is available anymore which is sad as I really like this little beauty. It is a little sticky but nothing I can't handle, it is a delicate shade which is perfect for the no make up make up look I went for today. 3/5

So there you have it, my thoughts on No7 1 brand FOTD. 
Have you tried any No7 make up? What are your thoughts?


It is that time where I have to say goodbye. Just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

Ta Ta for now.
