New Favourite Brand Alert

I was lucky enough to be sent some PR samples from Seventeen last week, and felt the need to rave about these to all of you lovely lot! I was kindly sent the Long Lash mascara, Let's Face It palette and the Easy on the Eye palette.












The packaging of the products is beautiful, I love collecting the boxes of products as I am a self confessed hoarder! This is not helping my addiction Seventeen. The quality of the products surpasses the packaging however.

Seventeen Long Lash: I really loved using this mascara and would definitely re-purchase! It has a thing brush which means it is really easy to get to each individual lash and it doesn't clump which is always a bonus!

Seventeen Let's Face It: This is described as the 'complexion perfection selection' and I 100% agree. It features a pink and yellow toned concealer, but also a setting powder and a rosy pink blush. The concealers are great for colour correction, and I'm loving the rosy pink blush. It is perfect for the paler skinned peoples of the world.



And finally my favourite of the products, the Easy on the Eye palette: I love this palette! It features 8 matte, shimmer and pearl powders, 3 metallic creams and even an eye primer. The shadows are super pigmented and it has become my go to palette for a lovely pink rose gold eye look. It even comes with a how to guide for smoky eye and to top it all of a voucher for £2 of the Seventeen super lash mascara.






All of these products can be found on the Boots website or if you click their names I have linked you directly to the specific product! Have you tried Seventeen products? Feel free to leave any comments below.

Seventeen Skin Wow Primer

Seventeen Skin Wow Primer REVIEW


So on New Years Day, hungover and feeling sad that Christmas was over, I made a Boots order to try and lift my spirits! I bought a few different items and bought products from brands that I wouldn't normally purchase from and one of these products was the Seventeen Skin Wow Primer which I will be reviewing in this post. The primer was £5.99 and can be found HERE!, it is described as '3 way HIGHLIGHTER GLOW & primer. The ultimate skin pick me up! Mix it up with this 3 way liquid highlighter' I was interested in this product particularly as I was in search of a good primer and have been looking into purchasing the Mac Stobe Cream which everyone raves about! {If anyone has the strobe cream, comment below on whether you think it is worth the price!} I thought that this product would be a good alternative.






I was beyond impressed with this product. I don't really know what I was expecting but what I got I LOVED. 

I mixed the primer/highlighter in with my normal foundation.




The result was a much more dewy finish, I love the Studio Fix Foundation but find it can be hard to spread around my face? That sounds very strange but the primer made it a lot more easy to apply and gave a lovely finish. I applied it with a Real Techniques sponge.


The following picture shows my face on the left naked (I believe I had used moisturiser and that is it), and on the right it shows my face using the Studio Fix Foundation mixed with the Seventeen Primer. The foundation has covered up the redness on my cheeks and the spots/scarring from previous spots.

I highly recommend the Primer and know that it is going to become a staple in my everyday makeup routine. I was going out for dinner for this makeup look, I went with my friends to a cocktail and pizza bar and had a brilliant night!
