I couldn't resist choosing something from Boots budget friendly line, 17, for Flashback Beauty Friday today, as they have just relaunched with a brand new look. 17 or Seventeen as they were sometimes known, were seen as the more affordable, trendy younger sister of No7. The brand launched in the 60's and were eventually discontinued in 2018 after 50 years. Much to my surprise, they've come back for 2022 with an entire new line up.  Starting from just £2, there's 170 items using vegan ingredients and as always, not tested on animals. My retro item today comes from a limited edition collection in 2011 and if you missed my posts last week, I was looking at one of the MAC Disney Venomous Villains products.

I hope you enjoyed my post last week, which was a little history of the Dior Addict lip gloss packaging and the small changes they've made over the years. Today, I'm going back 11 years, to a limited edition piece. One of those "too pretty to use" types!

Flashback Beauty Friday 57: Dior Addict Gloss History

Post contains affiliate links and no PR gifted items.

Aloha beauties! I feel a bit strange going back to 'regular' Flashback Beauty Friday posts after 2 months of special Christmas and New Year festive posts. It's probably worth reintroducing this weekly feature to any new readers.  It's basically a nostalgic look back at old makeup, especially limited edition or discontinued pieces and their packaging. I generally love reminiscing and am a massive hoarder, so I've amassed a large collection of beautiful products that I hope spark memories of items or brands you'd forgotten about or fallen out of love with.  It's intended to be fun but a little informative too.  Sometimes it's one item or a whole themed collection or like today, I have packaging evolution over the years. If you missed my final Lunar New Year special post last week, it was the NARS 2021 release.
