Seventeen Lipsticks
I was lucky enough to be sent some more products from Seventeen. This time it was some of their lip products. There were two lipsticks and and lip crayon.
I have found myself using lip crayons more lately, it was something that I didn't think to use, but I do like using them. They are more precise as they normally have a smaller tip. This lip crayon was surprising glossy, which I don't mind, I think I prefer the matte look at the moment but I do find glossy shades easier to wear as there are some matte lip products that can be drying on the lips. This crayon is a darker cherry shade, and overall I really like the product.
The two lipstick surprised me with how vibrant and pigmented they are! They are both defiantly very eye catching, not something that I would wear for a day look. For an evening however these would be great. They are both orangy coral toned so I feel that these are more of a spring summer tone, which is great as I can't wait for some warmer weather now!
You can purchase these lipsticks here from boots, they are currently on offer to for £3.99 which I think is great value!

Seventeen Wow Concealer Review
I love this style of concealer pen and was very keen to try out this affordable one from SEVENTEEN at Boots. I love concealing my under-eye so I am pleased to say that the SEVENTEEN Skin Wow Concealer is pretty good, especially for the price.
You get the product out by licking the button at the end of the pen, this slowly eases it out the brush end, which you can then use to apply directly to your face. This makes for a really effortless application that can really be achieved on the move to.
I found the effect to be brightening under the eye area, but it is also a full coverage that I like from a concealer. It was very blend able and it didn't crease which is always a bonus for me!
You can find this concealer as park of SEVENTEENS range Here at boots
As it is priced at a very reasonable £4.99 I find this to be a very good value product

Seventeen All Out Pout Lip Palette Woo Me
SEVENTEEN All Out Pout Lip Palette Woo Me
This is a beautiful looking palette A collection of 6 rich satin, gloss & glitter shades with applicator, mirror & get the look guide.
This palette contains the following colours:
- Glitter Gloss
- Bubblegum Pink
- Pastel Pink
- Fiery Fuchsia
- Glistening Nude
- Soft Mulberry
I'm not sure that I would class these as lipsticks as they have the consistency of a lip gloss but they are also very pigmented as a lipstick, they really are the best of both, which is amazing
How to Use
Create the perfect lips with our 4 top tips!
STEP 1
For best results apply using the handy lirrle lip brush inside - perfectly sized for precise lip application!
STEP 2
For longer lasting colour, blot your lips after application and then a apply a second layer of lipstick - this gives the colour more staying power!
STEP 3
To make lips appear fuller, dab your fave clear gloss in the centre of your top and bottom lips - SEVENTEEN Lip Lustre in Polished is perfect for this!
STEP 4
Apply a second contrasting colour on top of your lipstick from the centre outwards for an ombre effect lip look!
I love how compact the palette is, it is easy enough to take out and about with you, the lid is completely covered with a mirror which is a great added bonus
I also used this with Seventeen Lip Lustre lip glos, this made the look last a lot longer its not a sticky feeling gloss but does leave a very shiny finish which I am loving at the moment I seemed to have a fad on matte shades
You can purchase the range from Seventeen here at boots:

Salon Science Haircare
The lovely people at salon science sent me some of their items to try from their Repair and Radiance range
I have long waist length thick hair and I have put it through the mill a bit. Between blow-drys and straightening it it can become a bit dry!
The first product is the Re correct Leave In Conditioner. First off this smells amazing, I can actually smell the product for quite a bit after using it. I am a bit skeptical with some leave in conditions as I think they can weigh your hair down and make it look greasy. This was fine though it left my hair feeling great. I only used it on the mid sections of my hair down to the ends and it did leave my hair a lot more manageable and less frizzy. which is a great plus for me especially at this time of year!
Next I have the shampoo and conditioner this is a lovely lilac colour and it smells just as lovely as the leave in conditioner. I really like both of these products, the shampoo lathered up really well and the conditioner left my hair feeling silky smooth.
I tried their Smoothing Serum from the same range. I used this when my hair was damp I only needed a small amount, again I don't like products that will weigh my hair down. I then blow dried my hair as normal and curled it. The curls were lovely bouncy and glossy, it did stop the curls going frizzy which can happen once my hair has been curled for a while.
The final product that I tried in the range is the Thermal Cream. I think that this has to be my favorite item. I always try to use some sort of heat protectant on my hair and it nearly always has some sort of heat applied to it. This was brilliant the spray is really good leaving a fine mist which helps to evenly distribute the product. Again it smells amazing and did leave my hair feeling soft and kept the dreaded frizz at bay!! Hopefully this will help to protect my hair to.. It seems to be doing a good job.
You can purchase these from Boots, I have added the links below:

Drugstore Contour Kits
I have been having wanted to try some contouring kits for a while, I have been using highlighters for some time mostly powdered ones but thought I would like to see the full effect of using a kit. I have contoured with some darker concealer in the past with varying results! Some looking lovely others looking more like a bad fake tan job! 😂
I love the packaging for this it looks really sleek and the mirror fills the entire lid which is so useful especially for travel, it almost has a Nars feel to it which I love! I did my usual foundation/ concealer routine then used this as a final step. I used my real techniques brush and it blends out so perfectly it is really an amazing consistency it didn't look cakey. I would say i could set my makeup with this product, I don't get particularly oily skin but this product did last very well on me. They are both Matt shades so the highlighter doesn't leave you with a shimmery glow but is is brilliant down the bridge of your nose and under your eyes across your cheekbones which was here I used it. It is perfect for hollowing out your cheekbones.

I have had a lot better luck with these two contour kits in particular, the first been the Define and Contour Kit by Seventeen. The 2nd the Loreal Infallible Sculpt Contour Kit. I have to say how much I love both of this kits! Seventeen's is a powder kit and Loreal is a cream consistency in the UK version. Depending on what is your preference or skin type there may be a formulation that is more suited to your skin type. I would say that I have a combination skin type and I didn't have a problem with either of these.
Firstly the Seventeen Pallett:
Next the Loreal Pallet:
I was excited to see this as it was a cream consistency which I have not seen so much of in drugstores. The packaging on this pallet for me doesn't look at good, I know that is not the most important thing for a beauty product but it looks cheaper and the mirror that is on the lid had actually come unstuck on the mine so was face down in the product which was not a good start! It was easy to rectify though. You do get plenty of product in this pallet I was suprised. The consistency of this product is amazing it's a cream but it's such an opaque colour and isn't greasy at all it almost drys like a powder which I found really interesting. I think it was easier to get more of a chiselled cheekbone look with the cream contour but wasn't as highlighting with it been so matt?
Overall I have loved both of these products will defiantly be repurchasing when these are out
