17 Again...

When I think of 17, I initially associate it with the questionable make up choices of my early teens, bright green eyeshadow anybody??

But after a friend mentioned to me that her current favourite eyeshadow was from 17, I decided to check it out.



l-r regal, statuesque, mardi gras.



I am so impressed with these little gems, the pigmentation is fantastic, and I've been using regal over black eyeliner on my upper lash line and I adore it.
For £3.49 each, how can you say no!?
When I first swiped some of Statuesque & Mardi Gras on my hand they very much reminded me of Woodwinked and Sable.
so I put them side by side!




woodwinked/sable vs statuesque/mardi gras.

They may not be perfect matches, but if you don't want to spent £11 on a single eyshadow, I can't reccomend these more!!
They are lovely warm browns that will suit almost everyone.

I'll be paying a lot more attention to this line in future.

Lots of Love, Laura xxx

  1. I have satauesque and mardi grass the pigmentation shocked me so much when i first swatched these and woodwinked was the first thing to pop into my head as well, so of cource i had to buy them. I also have funfair which is a really light pink with gold reflects :) x

    I nearly went for funfair but I'd swapped it for regal! I'm thinking about going back for it though!
    @Caz
    They're amazing quality for the price, pretty neautral shades are my favourite!

  4. i love these shadows too :)
    i find you have to kind of get through the top layer, and then they get creamier and so much easier to work with :)
    love them!
