Seventeen - Supreme Shine Lipstick

I think in my last post on Seventeen lipsticks (here) I was pretty unimpressed by the brand from Boots. I am now eating my words though, as my new favourite nude lipstick is from this very brand! It is one of their Supreme Shine Lipsticks in shade Bella and I love it.

Shade Bella is a brown nude and has a gorgeous shimmery sheen to it. The pigmentation is great (much better than from the Mirror Shine Lipsticks from this brand) and really shows up brilliantly on the lips. It is quite durable for a low cost brand as well, it lasted at least 2-3 hours on my lips before having to do any touch ups. It applies so smoothly to the lips and doesn't cling to dry patches, so is really good for all lips. Lastly, it feels quite moisturising on the lips as well. Just a perfect lipstick!

Supreme Shine Lipstick comes in a mirrored tube and is quite chunky but in a good way. There is a choice of 13 shades, ranging from deep reds to light nudes but I would definitely recommend Bella, I'm also tempted to get All About the Sass - a dark, wine red shade. Lush!

Seventeen Supreme Shine Lipsticks are available here on in Boots Stores for £4.99 each

The Wedding Comedown!

Last Thursday was the long-awaited wedding, so I apologise for having let my blog fall slightly to the sidelines but it has been a manic few days! I'm now finally back home and in to my normal routine, so it's all back to normal on the blog front.

I know I don't really write lifestyle pieces but it ties in with a lot of my recent posts about make-up trials and skin care regimes that I have been helping some of my family with on the build up to the big day. Well it all turned out perfect on the day; mum was really happy with how soft and fresh her face felt all day, not feeling tight or tired at all. My aunt's make-up looked perfect on her, and she used all Boots 17 range products (she bought a shimmer block from their counter for highlighting her cheekbones, it was great and I'll have to get myself one now!). I did also have to stay up until stupid o'clock the night before to do my mum's nails (with waterfall nail art, as previously mentioned here) my nan's nails and then try and get myself in order.

So here's just a quick couple of photos from the day, the hairdresser managed to 'conceal' where I was growing out my undercut and make even my rubbish hair look good! The boyfriend managed to scrub up nice as usual as well! It was a gorgeous wedding, everyone looked amazing and the venue was incredible. A great time was had by all!
