Boots 17 Solo Eyeshadow

I have this eyeshadow in four shades: Lovely Lilac, Punky Purple, Viva Diva (a lovely shade of turquoise), Style Queen (silvery white), and a glittery blue one. As you may have guessed from the amount of them I own, I really like them! The colours are vivid and go on smoothly. The glittery blue one could be a bit more glittery, but it creates a nice effect as it is. The different shades blend easily with each other, and it's easy to vary the effect by building up the colour. I have had some of these for years, and even the ancient ones are still usable. The oldest two (probably about six years old, and probably should have been chucked out years ago!) are ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to buying make-up there's simply no stopping me it really is my vice! I own heaps and heaps of the stuff and I just buy whatever I fancy really. I'm a fan of big brands such as Max Factor, Benefit and Urban Decay but unless I'm in need of something in-particular (which is very rare due to the amount of make-up I actually own already!)I will be swayed by special offers and free gifts of course! Which is how I come to owning this eyeshadow. Mine came in a lovely pink box with other free gifts when I spent five pounds on any 17 products and I needed some nail care stuff so swayed into purchasing this brand I was! I'm not really a fan of 17 products ...  Read the complete review

I bought my 17 Solo Eye Shadow from boots about 6 months ago and there is still plenty left. It was at a bargain price of £1.60! Not bad hey! My particular one is in Thunderbolt colour is kind of a matt grey colour. These little pots are dermatologically tested and my particular one is fragrance free, whereas others (particularly the newer ones) actually have fragrances. This eye shadow comes in a little cute round pot and because of its size you can fit it just about anywhere. You could buy a whole collection and still have room for more! This little pot of colour is pretty brilliant and is very easy to apply, but having said that also easy to ...  Read the complete review

Boots 17 range has bought make-up to teens on a tight budget for decades, and the solo eyeshadow is one of their most classic and popular ranges. These generous pots of eyecolour costs less than £4 and come in a huge range of colours from the muted to the bold, and now there is a newer metallic variety for peepers with sparkle. I personally have tried many of the shades, including bright pink, emerald green, bright purple and the darkest grey black I've ever seen in make-up. And they have become staple products of my make-up bag due to their wearability and low price. The eyeshadow comes in a round plastic pot - much like the Stargazer eyedusts do. ...  Read the complete review

I own many different colours in the Boots 17 Solo Eyeshadow range. As I am quite fair-skinned and fairly bad at doing quite complicated make-up things I tendy to stick to light shimmery colours. My favourite from this range is Femme Fatale which is a shimmery white powder and creates a very subtle bright-eyed look. The powder itself is very easy to apply, I just apply it across my lids with my finger and blend out towards my eyebrows. It stays in place for a long time and the light colours can be easily mixed to create new, individual shades. I can't speak for the darker colours in this range as I have not tried them but there are a variety of fun shades to choose from. ...  Read the complete review
