Boots Haul Review! Max Factor/ 17

Hi all! So yesterday I got a few things from Boots to update my makeup stash (I have a TON, but I don't like to take chances on the shelf life of mascaras.) I decided to try two brands I haven't really bought before, Max Factor and 17.

I bought the new Eye Brightening Tonal Black Volumising Mascara from Max Factor for brown eyes just to see what the fuss was about eye brightening mascara.

Simple enough packaging and a good deal as Boots has them on special for 4.99.


I really like this type of wand as I've found that with any mascara with it tends to have the best coverage and lengthening power.


All in all I was really please with it. Don't know about any light reflecting or eye brightening, but it gave great length and minimal smudging/clumping. Pretty good for 4.99!

I got a good amount from 17. Because I bought the Falsify False Lash Mascara which was over 5.99, I got a free bronzing kit with it. First though, I'll review the Mascara.

(gah, why did the pic come out upside down! :( )


I wasn't crazy about this brush as it came out a bit clumped up and sticky...but upon application it had the same results as the Max Factor mascara. Clump and smudge free! 




This is the free set I got from 17, the Get Bronzed set which contains a golden cream blush, shimmery eyeshadow and lipgloss.

On my skin the blush is perhaps a little bit sticky but gave such a pretty bronze! I would probably use this under a blotting powder to counter the shininess.


Eyeshadow is a lovely pearly bronze that is nicely pigmented. I'd be able to wear this for day or evening without it looking too harsh.


The lipgloss has a nice formula, not too sticky but gives off a great sheen with a very pretty pinky/orange colour.




Pretty great haul for just over a tenner, I'd say! 

Ta-ta for now!
