Hi everyone! I've got a few quick reviews and swatches today of some of
my old and new favourites from Boots own brand SEVENTEEN! Keep reading to see
what I love from the brand!
First up are some old favourites of mine that I absolutely love. The Phwoarr Paint heavy duty under eye concealer in Fair (£5.49) comes in two shades of which I have the lightest. It is a very thick
and creamy concealer that covers dark circles really well! As with other cream
concealers I have, I like to use this with my ring finger in order to warm it
up and blend it under my eye. I really like setting this with a separate powder
I will talk about later in this post but this ensures it doesn’t settle into
any fine lines around the eyes and that it lasts throughout the day. I also
sometimes use it to conceal spots too and it does a good job at this as well!
Brow’s That! brow kit £5.99
I feel like this was the original drugstore/highstreet brow kit! It was
the first brow kit I owned anyway and I got it in one of Boots’ trusty free
gift offers a few Christmases ago! I was actually using it to do my make up for
New Year’s Eve at my friend’s house and she pulled out the same kit – we can’t
resist a Boots bargain! It only comes in one shade but I find the colours are
very cool toned and a great match for me, the wax and powder are not overly
pigmented so perfect for an everyday look if you just want to define your
eyebrows a bit. They can be made a little more dramatic if you also use the
pencil before filling in with the wax and powder and I love the fact it’s so
easily buildable and the highlight shade has a lovely shimmer to it that’s not too
obviously glittery!
Mirror Shine lipstick in Beehive £4.79
I first bought this a few years back (when it was in the blue packaging
– anyone remember?). Vivianna Does Makeup raved about it so I picked it up to
see what all the fuss was about and fell in love with it! It is the perfect my
lips but better nude, sheer, natural looking, glossy, moisturising lipstick and
it’s a long standing favourite of mine! I haven’t done a top five favourite
lipsticks yet but this would be on it! I love the new packaging too, when you open
the lid a mini mirror pops out which is handy for on the go! I could apply this
shade in the dark but it’s maybe more useful for the other shades in the range
which I definitely need to check out!
Stay Pout lip colour in Audition* £4.49
These are SEVENTEEN’s long wear lip colours and Audition is a gorgeous bright
pink blue toned colour (which makes your teeth appear whiter)! I am completely
in my comfort zone with pinks as well as corals as opposed to reds and this
lipstick applies so smoothly and sits so comfortably on my lips it doesn’t dry
them out at all! It’s not totally opaque and I find I still have a little bit
of slip on my lips which is probably why I like the formula so much as its not
drying. It lasts a really good amount of time on me and you can layer it on for
a really bright pink colour which I would for a night out or apply it lightly
for a gorgeous stain that lasts hours and really brightens up the face!
Lip Crayon in Bold* £4.99
I love lip crayons like this for throwing in my bag when I want a bit
of colour, moisture and don’t have time to look in a mirror to apply! It’s a gorgeous
coral colour with loads of shine that’s so easy to top up throughout the day!
Like I said, pink and coral colours are my go to, they suit me and I look
healthier with a bit of colour on my lips! Saying that, I do want to give the
berry shade a go next!
Define and Conquer contour kit in Medium* £5.99
I was so excited to receive this as I have eyed this up in Boots many a
time and swatched the shades only to find they were all sold out! It seems to
be one of SEVENTEEN’s most popular products and rightly so! I could not wait to
get this out of the packaging! It comes in two shades, of which I have the
darkest and originally I thought it was going to be too warm toned for me but
thankfully I was wrong! This is buttery soft and blends like a dream leaving a
realistic shadow on my cheekbone and no harsh lines! What I love most about
this kit though is the fact the highlight shade is matte! I will get so much
more use out of it and have been using it to set the my Phwoarr paint concealer
under my eyes where it brightens really well! I love the sleek black packaging
too!
Falsifeye HD mascara in Blackest Black*£6.99
Finally, we have the Falsifye HD mascara! I love the plastic wand which
has two different sides, one with shorter bristles and one with longer. This
really coats my lashes evenly and I like to twist this as I apply which really
separates and fan out my lashes! It doesn’t clump at all and the wand easily
combs through my lashes. I always do two coats with any mascara I use and this
gives me so much separation and length! Although I would usually choose the
waterproof version of any mascara I’m using, I've been so impressed with the staying
power of this one! I don’t often put mascara on my bottom lashes but the size
of this mascara wand would make it perfect if you did!
So there we have my old and new favourites from SEVENTEEN! They are
always on offer in Boots and there really is no reason not to have a swatching
session when they have so much choice at brilliant quality and reasonable prices!
They also have a ton of new releases
making their way into stores and I for one cannot wait have a look at the new makeup
brushes and powder blushers!
SEVENTEEN have also recently launched their Blogger Network which is
free to sign up to and includes loads of product information, news, makeup
trends and tips!
What’s your favourite SEVENTEEN product or what would you most like to
try?

DeleteThe Contour Kit looks like a really great budget option! I really want to try that mascara. I used to swear by one of their lip pencils & they discontinued it! :-( xx
ReplyDeleteBeautylymin
Ah no I hate when that happens! I've had quite a few favourite products of mine discontinued over the last few months too! The contour kit has quickly become a favourite of mine! Xx

It's great isn't it! Xx
DeleteThat contour kit looks like suuuch nice quality! The powders look so soft and it looks like it would be a dream to apply. The lip colors are beautiful as well, though I don't believe Seventeen is sold here in the states :( We really need to up our game on drugstore brands haha, I feel like I miss out on so many goodies!
ReplyDeleteeightbitbeauty.blogspot.com
Meanwhile over here I feel like I'm missing all the U.S brands! Boots is definitely my favourite shop though, they do such an amazing selection and SEVENTEEN is exclusive to them! Xx
DeleteCan I buy this brand online? So sad :( that there isn't this brand in my country.
ReplyDeletewww.aishettina.blogspot.it
You can but it from Boots online but I'm not 100% sure on delivery to Italy, sorry! Xx
DeleteUnfortunately we don't have 17 products in Australia but I picked up the Phwoarr Paint concealer when I was in the UK last year and I was surprised by how good it is! I haven't used it in a bit though so I might crack it out tomorrow.
ReplyDeletejessica - littlehenrylee.com
Definitely do! It's such a handy little product! I love the fact it has a mirror too! Xx
DeleteI really don't like clumpy mascaras that don't separate my lashes well, so I'm really loving the sound of this mascara!

I think it would be impossible to clump your lashes using this, it is so separating and lengthening, I love it! Xx

ReplyDeleteBeauty with charm
