Advantages: nice finish, SPF15 Disadvantages: doesn't last, expensive
...~About the range~
Boots have three different lipstick ranges - sheer temptation, moisture drench, and stay perfect. The lipstick I purchased is from the sheer temptation range and is designed to give a sheer, glossy finish. There are only six shades available in this range - from Attract (a nude colour, and the one I purchased), through to Fascinate which is a deep red. The lipstick has SPF15 which means your lips are getting protected from the ... ...can only be bought from Boots or Boots.com
~Overall opinion~
I definitely don't think it is worth paying full price for, but for the £4 I paid it is quite good. The tube is stylish, the colour is good and didn't look too over the top, and its good that it has added SPF. I'm disappointed with the fact it came off so quickly and that the lid cracked so easily, but otherwise I'd recommend it. Four stars! ...

...recently had a £5 off Boots No7 products voucher, so I thought I would give this a try.
** Boots Claim **
Boots claim that this provides sheer, glossy, moisturising colour, and I like, as well as agree with, all of that, so why only 2 stars out of 5?
** Colours **
It only comes in six colours, but as it is designed not to give bold colour, I didn't find it a problem to pick a colour that I thought would enhance my natural beauty. (Well hubby ... ...something!)
After experimenting with the testers in the store, I chose the colour "Entice", as it is the closest to my natural colour. This is a light plum colour. Read on to find out if it lived up to its enticing name.
The other colours, which also have temptress-like names, would suit those looking for reds, browns, a darker plum or pink.
** My Trial **
After opening the tube, I was disappointed with the size of what it enclosed. The container ...

--What does the promo say?--
"No7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick provides sheer, glossy, moisturising colour with SPF15. Hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free."
--Packaging--
A sleek, silver, slightly curvy package, with the No7 logo at the top of the lid in black. It's discreet, subtle and chic, and at 3-4 inches tall, a convenient size too.
--Application--
Apply to the lips straight from the stick. You can use a brush if ... ...below) means that this is probably unnecessary.
--Texture/consistency--
To me, this lipstick is the Holy Grail of both a lipstick and a gloss in one easy stick. I think that No7's marketing executives have missed a trick there, with there being no mention of this lipstick's unique consistency in its promotional material. It has the colour and intensity of a lipstick, but with the high shine and the smoothness of a gloss, which is just an absolute ...

Advantages: great colour, natural looking Disadvantages: have to reapply a lot, but no more than glosses
...to get myself down to boots and take advantage of the offers they had on No 7 products. The shade I went for in sheer temptation is excite. It's a lovely sheer, shimmery, dark reddish colour. The lipstick goes on smoothly and easily. It's very moisturising and leaves my lips in lovely condition and it looks really good too. It's quite natural looking, and is suitable for day as well as night as I tend to play up my eyes more in makeup and leave the ...

Advantages: Lovely colour Disadvantages: Can make lips dry
I had this lipstick as part of a free gift set for spending £15 on No7 products, so it was pretty good value for money as I got a lot of other good No7 stuff with it.
The colour I have is Excite, which is just slightly darker than my natural lip colour. It's kind of a dark red, but it's not really a solid colour because it's see through. I like this colour because it's not too bright or pale, and it's good for everyday wear. It's also sparkly, which ... ...very easy to apply, and doesn't need much to get a nice even coverage. It also goes on quickly, and looks really nice. It also lasts for a while once it's on so it doesn't need to be re-applied very often.
However it can make my lips dry, so it might be best to put a little Vaseline (or something similar) on top.
I'd recommend this lipstick as it's not too expensive when you buy it when there's a special offer on No7 products. ...
