Advantages: Good price, looks good and moisturises!

Disadvantages: Not as long lasting as implied on Boots website.

I like to treat myself every once and a while and buy a new lipstick which is when I noticed this product. The colour I decided on is called Blondie which is quite a subtle pale peach colour, I thought it would be ok for work.

The No 17 Lasting Fix Lipstick is available in around 19 different shades so definitely plenty of options colour wise. With pale colours to choose from such as pinks, peaches and nudes. Also there are darker shades like chocolate and dark berry colours. The lipsticks are priced at £3.71 which I think is a fairly reasonable price.

It states that it will last up to four hours and that it will not dry out your lips. I definitely agree with the latter, even though it isn't really a glossy lipstick my lips still feel moisturised and soft without any stickyness or any gloopy feeling. However i'm not quite sure I would agree with the colour lasting four hours. Most of the lipstick does remain in place when drinking but for your lips to look their best I would recommend reapplying the lipstick.

In the end you get what you pay for and I am quite happy to buy this lipstick again. I do have to say that it is one of the best lower end priced lipsticks for staying power. For work it is perfect for me, maybe not for a night out though unless you want to be reapplying after every drink.

I would have to give the product 3 stars out of 5!

Summary: For moisturised lips without the overly glossy look, give this lipstick a go!
