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.

This is the 17 Miami Pop Lipgloss from the Summer 2011 collection. I'm generally not one for pink lips, so clearly the cute flamingo packaging won me over here! Now that I think of it, I have a matching nail polish from this launch too.

The gloss is a sheer bright pink and comes in a rounded tube with turquoise flamingo print, orange lid and slanted doe-foot wand applicator inside.  It's fun and super summery.  

It reads "add a pop of colour to the lips with this juicy summer lipgloss".

Although I didn't buy a whole lot from 17, I was genuinely sad to see them disappear.  I'm really happy they're back, as there's a need for accessible beauty for everyone, especially as we all start to feel the pinch with the cost of living rising (by what seems like the day).
