My Take on Boots 17 Lasting Fix Lipstick:
This is my first ever lipstick from the brand 17. I own some very nice stuff from this brand including eye shadows, bronzer, blush and nail paints and so thought of picking a lipstick too in my latest Boots order through my friend again who stays in UK. She does not charge me any shipping and so its always fun experimenting with these new brands.
Buying this lipstick was just an impulse decision as I wanted to take the benefit from the free gift offer going on with a purchase of 3 things from 17 in this ongoing holiday season.
Shade: This shade seemed browner in the swatch online but when I received and tried it, it appeared more coral. This is officially my 3rd coral/orange lipstick with a hint of brown. It sometimes appears as a terracotta shade and sometimes as a mustard shade. Again this shade is not too glossy or loud and can be easily worn especially during this festive fall season.
Texture: It has a lovely creamy texture. The shade is completely matte and one swipe is enough to leave the lips quite pigmented. But again it does leave the lips a little dry so lip balm is necessary underneath it. Its fragrance free and does not settle in fine lines.
Staying power: True to its name-Lasting Fix, this lipstick definitely won’t budge or smear and stay put as fresh even after 4-5 hours of application. It easily survives full meals with minimum fading. On me, it easily stays on for 5 hrs with light snacks and full meals in between.
Packaging: It comes in a solid matte black plastic encasing that is quite durable. The bullet inside is also very sturdy and can easily endure rough usage. 😛

Ratings: 3.75/5
Recommend/Repurchase: Yes. If you are looking for a cheap long lasting lipstick than 17 brand has a nice range of shades to choose from. This shade would suit all skin tones pretty well and you can easily feel comfortable wearing this dark shade even.
Now my LOTD wearing this shade in different lights. If you notice, the lipstick looks lighter on the lips than in the hand swatch.
