Maybe it is the promise of sunshine, or maybe it is being surrounded by new people and sights but I am more willing to try out new beauty products and trends; from embracing brighter and bolder lip colours to completely overhauling my make-up bag with more suitable products for the warm weather (a girl can but dream). If like myself you do enjoy overhauling your beauty stash with each season, you may want to pop along to your local Boots store and treat yourself to a few new and extremely affordable Seventeen beauty products: fun, fresh, trend focused and suitable for all ages and skin types.

New Summer Beauty Finds with Seventeen

Much like any cosmetic brand worth their salt, the Seventeen beauty range is vast so there truly is something for every skin-tone, occasion and as earlier mentioned season. As it is now Summer, I think it is only fair that we focus on products that are more suited to the warmer weather - quick fixes that will take you from the pool to the bar, and back again.

I've lost count to just how many Seventeen lipsticks I've bought over the years as they are exceptionally good for the price: well formulated, easy to apply and as they don't break the bank, you can afford to experiment with new and exciting shades. I'm known to gravitate towards sheer,nude lipsticks so I challenged myself to try something new and a little more adventurous, y'know to step out of my comfort zone and see what else was out there- even if only for a week or two. I settled on three very different but equally as showstopping shades within the Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick (£4.49 each) collection: Rule Breaker - a deep, vampish purple-come-red, that looks wonderful on all skin-tones and is one of those few shades that makes all eye colours pop. Yes it is deep but you can apply it in a fine layer, blot if off and create your own "popsicle" like stain which was all over the catwalks as of late. The other shade I wouldn't normally go for but love is Saintly : a super milky, pearlescent pink, that adds a hint of a tint when applied to the lips bare, but has an almost transformative quality when layered over other lip products - great when space is of the premium, if you purchase one new lip product for any upcoming trips, let it be this. The aptly named Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in Datenight couldn't be more fitting for such occasion, should that be with the apple of your eye or a few friends and a bottle of wine, the classic and bright red will stay put, all night long.There are of course many more shades within the Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick range should the formula appeal but perhaps not my personal colour selections.

Summer or not, we all want a long-wearing lip colour that is non-drying, easy to apply and wear and if it happened to be affordable, well that is just the cherry on top. I will go on record stating that there is no better, budget friendly matte lip product than Seventeen Mega Matte Lipstick (£4.49 each): it is soft, hydrating, completely matte and wears beautifully for hours. In the spirit of trying new shades, I have selected three vibrant Summer ready options that again will suit most, if not all: No Corals - a bright, red based coral that never fails to gain a compliment or ten; Back to Fuchsia - another bold shade, this blue based pink, pops on all complexions and looks great regardless if it is work or play. Last but not least I can't recommend Seventeen Mega Matte Lipstick in Orange You Gorgeous enough, yes it is an orange shade but it is slightly more muted than other tones of this nature making it the perfect day to night option - it also doubles up as a cream blush wonderfully. Much like I've said above, the Seventeen Mega Matte is a vast range should you be looking for a shade that I have perhaps not mentioned.

In the warm, humid weather, I like to keep my eye make-up to a minimum - a quick slick of eyeliner and mascara (and sometimes Seventeen Eye Eye Eyeshadow in Statuesque if I'm feeling fancy) to ensure that my bold lipstick choice is centre of attention. One of the best mascaras I have ever tried - regardless of price is - Seventeen Va Va Voom Mascara in Blackest Black (£6.29). This blacker than black mascara has a wonderful, large, natural fibre brush head that grabs every lash to stretch them to their full capacity - I also find that it helps to add a natural curl, for an eye opening effect. The beauty of this mascara is that despite not being a waterproof formulation it does not smudge, smear, flake nor irritate my eyes in any way - it is the dream. I'd also like to recommend Seventeen Lacquer Liner in Wet Look Finish (£3.99) - a glossy, black liquid liner that lasts all day and then some. Much like all Seventeen beauty products this is easy to use thanks to the long, brush handle and super fine nib: thick, thin and artistic designs are a breeze and as this has a glossy finish it a great modern day spin on a classic.

Do you change up your make-up bag each season?
