17 Mirror Shine On Lipstick Review & Swatches

As you probably now by now, I definitely have a 17 obsession. And I when I went back home this week, I couldn't resist picking up a few more bits and pieces from the brand. Especially when I went to the Advantage Card kiosk and saw numerous vouchers! One of these was for a BOGOF Mirror Shine On Lipsticks.
 First of all, a little bit about these lipsticks. These are very moisturising and are more like a very pigmented gloss than a lipstick but minus that nasty sticky feeling. The lipsticks are pretty sheer but they still add a beautiful slick of colour to the lips and the glossy finish makes them look fuller which for me, is great.
 I picked up four. These being from left to right; Peace, Flirtini, Belle and Hollywood. In the tube, they look very, very scary and sort of make you go 'oooh' (just like my mum and mama did when I showed them these lipsticks) however, on the lips they're much more subtle making them great for every day use.
 Swatched from left to right; Hollywood, Flirtini, Belle and Peace. You can see from the swatches that these are very glossy and moisturising.
And finally, I've included a very bad lip swatch because my lips don't really like swatches. This is Flirtini on the lips which is a beautiful baby pink colour.
I really love these lipsticks as they allow me to experiment with colour a lot more than I usually would. These are priced at £4.59 and you can buy them here.
