Seventeen Lip Products Review

Hello again!
I have been looking for some good lip products for a while now, so when I took a recent visit to Boots I was happy to find some amazing ones for a reasonable price. The seventeen range is aimed at teenagers, I love seventeen as they are fun, colourful and cheap compared to other brands. So all in all I'm a happy girl, when I buy some of their products. The first item I bought was the 'LIP LUSTRE' in the shade ice maiden and the second one was a lip crayon in the shade , playful. Cheeky!
 
 
Ice maiden
I have only had this lip gloss for a short while but I'm really enjoying it, as it is moisturising, not too glossy and has a burst of colour. A problem I have with a lot of lip glosses is that my hair gets stuck to my lips and my hair ends up becoming all gross and pink. Not hot! But thankfully this one doesn't do that, too much anyway. The shade Ice maiden, also really suits the colour of my lips as it is just a bit pinker than my natural shade, so it means that my lips aren't overly done, but can have a subtly lift to them (colour wise). For £3.99 I think that this product is really worth buying as it lives up to what it says, ' Fabulous long lasting glossy colour for lips. It's time to pucker up!'
 
 
Playful
 
Love it. Do I need to say anymore? Even if I don't I'll keep going anyway. The lip crayon is a hybrid of the lip stick and the lip gloss. You apply it like a lip stick and it acts like one as well, but it looks like a less shinier lip gloss as well as  the way it feels on. The shade that I purchased is playful, it is a real burst of colour, I tend to wear this if I'm not wearing much makeup or none as it takes all the attention away from the horrifying places and onto the lips. It was a bit more expensive than the lip gloss, but who cares when it is this AMAZING!! At £4.99, it is a little pricey for a teenage makeup brand, on the other side 17 are always having offers. There is currently one on now. Visit http://www.boots.com/en/Seventeen-Lip-Crayons_1335196/ for the information.
 
I hope you enjoyed this post, I'm really getting into the hang of this. See you later. XX

My Top 9 Songs

What ever I'm doing, in the background, my playlist is always on. It is a collection of my current favourite songs and I absolutely adore it. These songs really feel like summer to me and encourage me to get moving. Obviously I realise that these songs won't be to everyone's tastes ,but if you do like them as well as me, tell me about it in the comments below These songs are in no particular order as it was physically impossible to choose. Enjoy...

Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson, ft. Bruno mars

Uptown Funk
This is one of my longest ,lasting favourite songs, as the majority of the time I get so sick of hearing songs being played so much. But shockingly that never happened with this gem. One of the reasons, this is in my top 10, is because it is the only song my whole squad love. We all have such different tastes that it was really nice to find a song we all knew the words to. It also isn't just one type of genre, it is a mixture of jazz, pop, rap and probably more.


    

FourFiveSeconds- Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney.

FourFiveSeconds
Ughhhhh, now this is my no.1 favourite song by far. I love this song because all it is, is a guitar, an organ and the singers. There is no effects or messing about with the song. Due to this it has a relaxing feel, yet perfect for any occasion. One of my favourite things about it is the fact is that they are all extremely talented artists, although very different. The music video is also really good as well, like the song it doesn't mess about with anything, black and white, they are just singing and you can't help but watch and watch until it is over. But as much as I LOVE this song, I do wish we heard more of the absolute legend, that is Paul McCartney, that just stood there playing the guitar.

Let's get started..

As you can probably tell, this is my first post ,on my first blog and I'm excited to see what will happen with it. On The Tea Queen, I will post mainly about anything creative, so whether that is creating a complex textile or baking some muffins, I will probably end up blogging about it. I will also blog about fashion, beauty and most definitely TV and music. At the moment I most likely won't be posting every single day, but expect at least once week.
 
A very, very rainy day in Brighton.
