17 Mirror Shine Peace & Flirtini

Recently, I was in Boots and checked out my individual offers on the machines which are in store and I found something absolutely amazing - 2 Mirror Shine Lipsticks for the price of 1. Seriously, if you never look at the offers available in store you are losing out!! I picked up the shades Peace and Flirtini, Peace being more orange and Flirtini being a pink. These lipsticks don't have great colour payoff but they are almost a hybrid between a lipbalm and are incredibly moisturising. They are perfect for daily wear and I think they would suit most skin tones because they are quite sheer. Beehive is the most hyped up of the shades but I think I prefer these two shades because they provide more colour.

Peace:

17 Pink Bronze Glow Shimmer Brick


This product was bought while Boots had their 3 for 2 offer and I've been enjoying using this product as a highlighter and to contour. When I found it in store it reminded me immediately of Dior's Amber Diamond but for the fraction of the price. I use my Real Techniques contour brush to apply this under my cheek bones and then use my finger to apply to my brow bone and any other areas I want to highlight. The four shades can be used individually or swirled together. The image below shows all 4 colours mixed together. The payoff isn't initially great but this product is very buildable.


Has anyone else tried this product? What do you think?

Number 17 - Beehive



This lipstick has become something of a cult classic among bloggers. This is Beehive and it is part of the mirror shine range from Number 17, which can be picked up in Boots. It is a light pink/nude shade which is perfect for a natural day-to-day look. The formula is super moisturising and as you can see below it adds a nice gloss to your lips. The reason behind all the hype surrounding this shade is that it is a fantastic dupe for MAC Hue and therefore is a great money saver. Personally, I have quite pigmented lips to start with so I would have preferred more colour in this lipstick however it has become a staple in my collection and I wouldn't be without it now. 


Have you tried Beehive?
