Review: No.7 Beauty Vault


My grandma very kindly bought me a No.7 Beauty Vault so that I could try it and then talk about it on my blog. For a more detailed description of each product, keep reading or for a shorter review watch my youtube video here.


Before I begin I should note that this is not an ad, I have not been paid in goods or services to write this. This vault is currently for sale at Boots for £30, and they say that there are £99 worth of products in there. The box says this is calculated by price of individual items or price per ml/g on non full size products.


The box includes mascara, cleansing wipes, foaming cleanser, cleansing water, primer, two nail polishes, tinted lip balm, bronzer and eyeliner. As far as I can tell, all of the products are full size which is fantastic and they are all things I will use which is unusual in this sort of thing.


The first product I want to talk about it the Radiant Results Revitalising Cleansing Wipes. I found that these were very effective at removing makeup but they were a little harsh on my face considering that they are labelled as being suitable for sensitive skin. I also liked that they had a proper lid rather than a sticker so it can be closed properly and the wipes don't dry out. I do also think these are very expensive for what they are. 8/10. RRP - £7.50.


Next I tried the Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer. I already have the original Airbrush Away Primer and I actually prefer it because it is slightly lighter weight than this one. They are both a great base for foundation though. It hydrates and protects your skin. This one is also anti-ageing, which is not necessary at my age but when I'm older perhaps I will start to favour this. 7/10. RRP - £16.50.


The Radiant Results Revitalising Micellar Cleansing Water was one of the best products in the vault. It was a very effective make up remover, very gentle on your skin and very easy to get as much out as you need with the pump. Very happy with this product, but it has to be said I think it is second best to the Beautiful Skin Micellar Cleansing Water. 9/10. RRP - £8.50.


I was very excited to try the Radiant Results Revitalising Foaming Cleanser and I was not disappointed. While it was not quite as effective for makeup removal, it was lovely and gentle and made my skin feel really refreshed. It also smells INCREDIBLE. Love this. 9/10. RRP - £9.50.


I absolutely love the Match Made Bronzer, so I had high hopes for the Perfectly Bronzed Mosaic Bronzer. Again, I was not let down! This made me look bronzed and summery without being caked in brown. It was easy to blend effectively and looked beautiful. I still prefer the Match Made Bronzer for contouring but I prefer this for an all over bronze. 9/10. RRP - £12.00.


This is the third time I've been given this eye pencil in this shade in a No.7 beauty box, and although I love it that is too many. This bronze colour is lovely for summer but it's very pale so I couldn't get a good picture of it on. I want to get this pencil in a different colour as well as it's very smooth and easy to apply. 8/10. RRP - £7.50.


I have used No.7's Gel Finish Nail Colours for years. They're easy to apply, give a good, bold colour, don't chip easily and look fab. My favourite nail polishes ever. I adore this shade called Bluebell. It's so pretty and summery and goes with all of my summer clothes. Perfect. 10/10. RRP - £7.00. (Please note, I think it is random which colours you get sent with the beauty vault so yours may be different to mine).


I also got this nail polish in shade Moon Shimmer, which is gorgeously sparkly and very wearable. Goes with everything. Glitter makes it difficult to remove though. 9/10.


Next we have the Dramatic Lift Mascara. I normally don't like No.7 mascaras as they don't give enough length, so I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It was a little caky at first, but after the second coat it got a lot better and gave me long, natural looking lashes. It also has a great curved brush for making sure all of your lashes are coated. Definitely recommend. 9/10. RRP - £13.50.


Here is a closer view of my lashes after using the Dramatic Lift Mascara. As you can see, it can also be used in smaller amounts for lower lashes, which I always like.


The last product in the vault was the Lovely Lips Lip Balm. I was so impressed with this! It is the first tinted lip balm I have found which works both as a lip balm and as a lip stick! It is fantastic.


This shade is called Parisian Pink and I think it is so so beautiful and flattering! Not too full on but not so subtle that you can't see it either. I was so so happy with this.


I was so impressed that I am going to try the other 3 shades of this, it's honestly beautiful. If you try anything from this vault, try this. 10/10. RRP - £9.00.


Overall I was so so happy with this beauty vault. All of the products were great, it was fantastic value for money and all of the items complimented each other nicely. This is a look I created using all of this vault (plus the No.7 Match Made Concealer and Perfect Brows Pencil). 10/10, would buy again.
