Seventeen Lip Lustre | Review

Hello Ladies,

Today will be a quick review on the Seventeen Lip Lustre range which is stocked at Boots.




I have only previously tried the 48 hour semi-permanent eye liner by Seventeen. This has amazing staying power. You can find a link to the blog post I did for that (here). This is my second purchase from the range other then a few nail polishes which I have purchased over the years.  

I was on the hunt for a red lip gloss, I wanted it to be rich in colour and wanted to wear it as a lipstick rather than a gloss over a lipstick. On a trip to Boots I came across the lip lustre range from Seventeen. I found them to be highly pigmented and long lasting which is exactly what I was looking for. 

The shade is called “Wild One” and is priced at £3.99 which is a bargain compared to other drug store products of the same quality. In fact I have a huge range of drug store lip glosses and this is by far one of the best. I purchased this one in December last year and have used it on many different occasions.


It has a wand application, which gives me a precise finish, the staying power is also pretty good for a lip gloss.

I have been holiday shopping recently as I am going away next Friday to Dubai, and thought I should top up on my nude/summery lip products, as I was so impressed with the Seventeen lip lustres, I went back into boots to purchase another. I went for this nude/peach toned colour called "Ice Maiden" 


This is just the colour I was looking for, only problem is that it is nowhere near as pigmented as the previous shade I brought in red. I was actually rather disappointed, hence I have now decided I can use it over Mac's Cut a Caper peachy toned lipstick, instead of wearing it on it's own as it just gives me a pearly sheen/natural finish.

See below swatches of the two shades:


Has anyone else used any of the other colours in the range, if so I would love to know what you thought of them?

Don't forget you can find us on twitter & Instagram

Until next time take care!
