3 for £10 on Seventeen Products

I just couldn’t pass up on this offer in Boots a couple of weeks ago, 3 for £10 on all 17 products. I was surprised by how many new products had been launched and most of them I had no idea about. It took me quite a while to make my decision but I settled on these 3 products. I look forward to putting them to the test.

Seventeen Cosmetics

I have heard mixed reviews of the Phwoarr Paint Concealer, I wasn’t sure on what shade would be the best match for me, I picked the fair one and that looks ok maybe a little too light but I think I can work with it. This little compact has a mirror in too which is very handy and surprising for the price! I am hoping it is similar to my beloved Benefit Boiing concealer, we will have to see. The packaging reminds me of the bobbi brown creamy concealer although the seventeen one is alot bigger. 12g for £5.49

I did’t even know Seventeen had a CC Cream so i just had to give it a go. I have never tried any CC Creams so will be interested to see how I get on with this. It says its finish is Matte & Radiant so thats exciting as I normally associate radiance with a more dewy finish. I picked the shade fair in this but I thought the shade range was poor – from what I can tell there are only two shades, Fair or Medium. The good thing about this CC Cream is that it has SPF 25. 30ml for £6.99

Last up I bought their Back Lash Mascara in Blackest Black, like I need another mascara but I liked the look of the fibre brush. Seventeen have quite a range of mascara’s I know I love their Peep Show one & excited to give this a whirl. It promises to give my lashes definition, lift, length and volume – these are some bold claims! I am expecting alot. 9ml for £6.49

This weeks face

- Vicki 3 Comments

I’ve been wearing quite minimal makeup this week as I’ve mostly been in the house or the Post Office. Neither place being very glam or worthy if a full on face of makeup. So i kust threw on quite a simple look. I thought i’d share the limited makeup I’ve been using this week.

The Peep Show Mascara from 17 is so nice. I use 2 coats and my lashes look so long. This has been my bargain go to mascara over the last couple of months.  The elf eye primer is also something I use daily its a great price and works really well to keep my eyeshadow on all day. This Rimmel eyeshadow I picked up in the pound shop and is a lovely soft pink colour the shade is called Precious Rose 140 – its subtle and makes your eyes look bright and fresh. I’ve been using the Garnier Eye Roll On a little more, I’ve finally got used to the colour and it seems to work really well on me its great under the eye. I did a blog on it here if you fancy reading it.

Now this Bobbi Brown concealer kit is OK  i have the shade warm beige – but i won’t be repurchasing this. I do have the corrector aswell & will repurchase that. But this concealor really sits in my under eye creases and I hate that, It looks awful. I think this is too thick and not the best formula. I LOVE my Mac MSF Natural in the colour medium and use it all the time. Its such a light powder and give your face a lovely finish.

I’ve a love hate relationship with my Mac Satin Finish Foundation. I go through periods when it just doesn’t look good on my skin and them i try it again and love it. Its weird. But I’m wearing it this week and really liking it again. I wear the shade NC25.
