Advantages: Price, good variety of shades, long lasting.

Disadvantages: Hard to remove, shades look different after application.

I needed a new lipstick but couldn't afford an expensive one and this Lasting Fix Lipstick by 17 at Boots caught my eye. It's only £3.71.

*Packaging*
The packaging is very simple. It's a normal matte black lipstick tube. There is a shiny metal pink bit in the middle. On one end it says 17 in a silver font and on the other end it tells us the shade. The sticker is the shade of the lipstick.

*Using The Product*
You just apply it like any other lipstick. It went on pretty well but may take a couple of layers to build up to a desired coverage or a deeper shade. I found that my lips seemed a little bitty during application but that was because my lips were quite dry.

*The results*
It was an average lipstick. There are brands out there that do a better lipstick for around the same price, and there a some worse lipsticks too. The only problem is the shades seem to come out brighter than they appear to be on the stickers. So use the tester in the shop first. I bought the shade 'dreamy' which on the sticker, appears to be a mid-pink blushing colour, but came out bright pink on my lips. If you buy it, make sure that your lips are well moisturised before application because if they aren't this lipstick looks awful! It is very long lasting. I think it works by staining the lips because it is VERY hard to remove.

*Conclusion*
I like this lipstick, mainly because of the price. If I had payed over £5.00 for it I don't thing I would be impressed. With this lipstick I think it depends on the shade you buy and the condition of your lips to tell whether you like it or not. Try it. =]

Summary: An okay lipstick.
