There's big competition out there for beauty brands, and I mean huge. There's hundreds upon thousands of them, some well-known whilst others are really too known. Makeup brands for example, majority of makeup lovers know the popular brands; Maybelline, Rimmel, Benefit and Urban Decay are just a few to name. Seventeen? It's a brand that's sold in Boots, but not many people know about it nor have tried it. I received a few pieces, and none of them disappointed me!
This brick reminds me of Bobbi Brown's shimmer bricks but for a fraction of the price. This shimmer brick, however, is incredible! Not only are these highlighters/bronzers absolutely stunning to wear on your skin, but it's a multi use product and can be used as an eyeshadow quad. Every single shade is highly pigmented, even the lightest colour. A little bit goes a long way where this product is concerned! This is fantastic for the little price that it costs and I highly suggest it to everyone. The highlight colours will work with any skin tone as well.
Unlike the previous highlighter, this is a liquid form. In the tube, it looks scary and intimidating, but honestly, it isn't. I use this on my cheekbones for a subtle glow, although, you can apparently use it to contour (which I haven't ever done) but I love how it looks as a cheekbone highlight. It leaves your skin looking luminous and radiant, as well as looking glowy and healthy. Normally, I apply it as a base highlight and apply a powder highlight on top to make it pop a little bit more.
I don't own many lip crayons (apart from the famous Revlon colourburst lip lacquer balm which is technically a lip crayon) so I was excited to see how this would turn out. I didn't know how the texture would feel on the lips, but when applied, it applies smoothly and just glides on your lips. Once applied, it feels hydrating and moisturising on the lips and non-greasy or thick. The colour I have is nude, but finishes off any makeup look perfectly as it's so natural!
Of course I kept my favourite until last! These lipsticks are insane! I never, ever see seventeen lipsticks raved about by bloggers but honestly cannot understand why. These have a creamy consistency meaning they're wearable on the lips. The lasting power of these lipsticks are impressive, and last a good few hours. Mine is in the shade Rule Breaker, which is a deep red/berry colour. When I wore it for the first time, I received so many complements on it. I hate nothing more than a pretty lipstick that dries out your lips but luckily this doesn't! Most definitely my Autumn and Winter 2015 lip product!
I know for sure I will most definitely be buying more from this brand. Their products are inexpensive yet great quality. I cannot wait to venture out and see what else they have available! Also, not to mention the packaging - not only is it cute but is sturdy!
Have you tried seventeen? Will you be trying their products out?
Lovely post sweetie xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Kirsty! xx
DeleteThat Tan liquid glow looks amazing! Is this available only in UK? We don't have Boots here in the states..thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteValerie
You can only get seventeen in Boots, sadly! Maybe you can get it online somewhere? x
DeleteSeventeen does have some amazing beauty products!

Love the shimmer brick! x
DeleteI had heard of Seventeen for things such as Eyeshadows and Foundations etc but never thought of lipsticks and things like that from there! The lipstick colour you chose is SO nice!
ReplyDeleteRobyn / http://www.phasesofrobyn.com
It's usually their lip products I hear about! Doesn't it just scream winter?! x
DeleteI've always heard good things about this brand but still never tried them out! The liquid glow looks amazing and I'll have to see if I can pick it up in my local store.

That was the same with me but since receiving these and trying them, that'll be changing soon as I'll be getting more to try! x
DeleteThat shimmer brick looks lovely! Definitely does remind me of BB :))) glad you enjoyed the products! We don't have a boots here in the States and rarely get UK cosmetics, but I'd love to be able to try some one day!

Looks so similar! Aw that's annoying! x
DeleteI keep seeing this brand but always thought they were owned by Seventeen magazine or something. The lipstick looks really good! The UK certainly has the best drugstore brands - No7, Collection, MUA... amazing quality at affordable prices!
ReplyDeleteIt's like No.7's baby sister! Yes we are most definitely lucky with drugstore makeup x
DeleteI love the Shimmer Brick :) definitely a brand that gets overlooked and deserves more love! xx
ReplyDeleteJasmine Talks Beauty | Zoeva Giveaway
A serious new love of mine! I now feel guilty of overlooking it and having missed out on so many amazing products! x
DeleteThe shimmer brick looks so good! I must admit I always pass this brand but have never tried it before! Some of the unknown ones are better!! xx
ReplyDeleteTamz // http://www.throughneweyesx.com
I have now made the effort to stop at it and see what's available! x
DeleteSometimes these smaller brands have the best hidden gems, that lipstick definitely looks like one! Thanks for the recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteThe Makeup Directory
This brand has some great hidden gems that I need to try out! x
DeleteI love shimmer brick and stay pout lipsticks, definitely a brand I don't think gets enough credit! Great post! xo
ReplyDeletehttp://www.samanthasbeautyloves.com
I know for sure that I'll be picking up some more lipsticks in the near future! Thank you x
DeleteI've never tried Seventeen before because I had never seen it been praised! I've had a look at their products but never baught anything because I'd never read about it so was quite sceptic! However I'm now convinced that I need to pick something up on my next Boots trip! (:

It's recently blown up the whole of the beauty blogging world! They're forever doing great deals on seventeen makeup too! x
DeleteI wish we had this brand in the US. I love the look of everything you tried. The first palette definitely looks like so many prestige brand palettes: MAC, Bobbi Brown...
ReplyDeleteThat's so typical! Maybe you can find a way to get it shipped over! x
DeleteI absolutely LOVE Seventeen. I tried out their felt tip liner recently and thought that it was fabulous! xxx
ReplyDeleteMight need to pick that up! x
DeleteThat shimmer brick looks like a must try!
ReplyDeleteI can guarantee you that it is! x

Believe it or not, these are the first products from them that I tried! x
DeleteI love seeing products! I have a go to lip stick I always have with me. Actually of my beauty products are ones that I have been using for years. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe crayon is a bit of a go to because it's so easy to apply! x
Deletethis is my first time hearing about them! i like their product layout though!
ReplyDeleteOh really? Yes the packaging is nice x
DeleteI used to use Seventeen when I was younger but they've fallen off my radar. I don't even know where to find them in the states, I'll have to keep an eye out for them. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletexx Merisa | Monogrammed Magnolias
Honestly worth looking for! x
DeleteThese products look so lush! I would love to see a finished look.
ReplyDeleteI will feature them one day! x
DeleteShimmer brick looks really interesting. This is a brand that unfortunatelly isn't available here, I'd love to try some of their stuff, based on your pics they are interesting!

Their highlighting products are raved about a lot! Thank you! x
DeleteI haven't tried anything from Seventeen before. I have seen some blog posts about it. I love a good shimmer product!
ReplyDeleteGot to love a good highlighter! x
DeleteI wish i could've seen photos of you wearing them! pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteI might some time soon! x
DeleteThose products do look good! I noticed you're in the UK so not sure we have those same brands here (I've never seen them) but I bet they are equivelant to the "Elf" brand we have here in the States. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's annoying that we have brands here in the UK that aren't available to the US and vice versa! x
DeleteI haven't seen that in the US! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I'm not sure if it's available in the US! x
Deletenever heard of this brand! Thanks for sharing :)

Should try and get some! x
DeleteThanks for sharing these different products! Loved the post :)

DeleteThe shimmer brick does look like Bobbi Brown, but I bet you paid a fraction of the price. I wish they had the brand in the states, because I want to try it all!
ReplyDeletethequeenofstyle.com
It's only around £4/5! x
DeleteI love the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick! I need to find this! Is it in US too?
ReplyDeleteNever tried it, sadly! Not that I know of, sorry! x

Thank you! And isn't it just?! x
DeleteNice pictures! Do you think I can find this brand in Germany / or Turkey? Would be super interested...
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh I'm really not sure, though I have a feeling this brand is UK based x
DeleteSeventeen make some lovely products, I'm a huge fan of their brow kit! The shimmer brick looks gorgeous, I'd probably use the shades as eyeshadows :) xx
ReplyDeleteToasty
Their brow kit sounds great! I use the lightest shade as a highlighter and the other ones as eyeshadows! x
DeleteI love it, looks super lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt most definitely is! x
DeleteI've never heard of Seventeen before but will keep an eye out for it!
ReplyDeleteShould do! x
DeleteLove the lip crayon!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! x
DeleteHonestly these all look so good! I'm loving the look of the shimmer prick and lipstick most. I'm going to pop into boots in the week so i'll definitely head over to their stand, thank you for introducing me to a brand that seems amazing for the price!

You won't regret it, promise! x
DeleteThe best product I've owned from Seventeen has to be their under-eye concealer 'phwooar paint'! Love the look of the rest of these products - especially the shimmer brick. I'll have to get swatching next time I'm in Boots :) x
ReplyDeleteCharlotte's Road // Beauty, Fashion + Lifestyle
That concealer is on my wishlist! x
DeleteI love Seventeen! Yet to try the lip crayon, though!
ReplyDeleteErin | missscented.blogspot.co.uk
It's lovely! x
DeleteI've never tried any make up from them before! I've honestly always been a little nervous to use the highlighters and bronzers thinking i might come out looking crazy! lol. But these seem easy to use!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with highlight at all! x
DeleteThat lipstick shade looks perfect for fall!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy current must-have for A/W! x
DeleteI love how the highlighter is multi-tonal - so many are one block colour and that never quite gets the look I'm after x
ReplyDeleteViva Epernay ❤
I agree! x
DeleteThe makeup looks fun, and I loved how you styled it in your shots!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! x
DeleteJasmine! Im from the #lbloggers chat today and had to stop by your blog! Its absolutely amazing your photography is beautiful! Cant wait to see more posts from you! Followed your other social medias too! Xxx
ReplyDeleteHey! Yes I recognise you! Thank you so much, that means a lot! I hope you'll stop by again for more posts! x
DeleteThese all look fantastic! I have always known about Seventeen, but not often purchased products by them. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe I still see them as the 17 brand they used to be. The things I have bought have been absolutely fantastic! I definitely need to check out more of their products, as they look like they're killing it at the moment - I want all of these products! Xx
ReplyDeleteTania | When Tania Talks
I remember when they were 17! You need to try them out, currently winning at drugstore makeup! x
DeleteI love the look of these products! Especially the highlighter. Hopefully I'll get to come to the UK soon so I can check them out :)x

DeleteSeventeen have totally stepped up their make up game over the last few years! I need to get myself to Boots and pick a few bits up ASAP... The question is, what do I try first?! x
ReplyDeleteKathryn | Chapters of Kat ❤
Oh I can give you an easy answer to your question - one of everything! 3 for 2 is great! x
DeleteGreat post! I love Seventeen, I have a few items and I've not been disappointed by them. I had a love hate relationship with the "stay time" concealer, but it's a good concealer. They're a great brand and I need to try more products for sure :D
ReplyDeleteJess www.beautifulbreakable.com xo
Thank you! I've not been let down by any product! I need to try that concealer x
