Goodbye to Boots 17???

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. Is it true it is all being discontinued? Admittedly I don't tend to use the stuff now but did as a teen. had a few lipsticks I liked but that was about it. This is probably why it is going as people think the same about it. I rarely see teens surrounding it (unlike every other make up stand!)

I saw something about it but thought it was just one product.
Shame as their HD mascara is really good

UserInfinityplus1 · 26/04/2018 11:33

Yes, definitely being discontinued. I saw a sign confirming by their display.

Deathraystare · 26/04/2018 11:36

Oh well, as I said I don't really use it now- just got nostalgic. Still missing Outdoor Girl and Miners!!!

oh god, now I have to rush down there and buy my favourite eyeliner and eye palett (which I actually use as a blusher/ bronzer) in bulk. Can't live without either one!

TheHonGalahadThreepwood · 26/04/2018 13:46

Nooooo. I loved their stuff as a teen/early 20something! Still occasionally buy something from there: their face powder is really cheap and really decent.

Hi I work at Boots, the 17 stands are being removed from stores at the moment but the range will be available on boots.com for the next year. After that the brand will be discontinued... so stock up now!

olderthanyouthink · 26/04/2018 19:06

I think the whole YouTube & IG makeup tutorial thing has killed it and the other cheaper brands a bit because instead of looking for a foundation teens now look for a particular one or brand someone is pushing.

MikeUniformMike · 26/04/2018 20:17

I love it and have used it for years. Have stocked up on their fab eyeliner and more. Boots CYO (create your own) will be out soon.

BitchyInnerMonologue · 26/04/2018 20:19

They sent me a free sample of the CYO mascara via my Advantage card as I buy 17 "Dolled Up" constantly. Haven't tried it yet though, but it was a nice touch.

KreigersClones · 26/04/2018 20:20

Can honesty say I’ve never brought a 17 product that I liked. And I’ve brought quite a few bits, foundations mascaras primers etc. All crap.

The cheaper No 7 on the other hand... I really like their liquid concealer l!

MikeUniformMike · 26/04/2018 20:21

Can anyone recommend what else I should stock up on please. I love their lipsticks but there wasn't much left.

MikeUniformMike · 28/04/2018 15:24

bump

BusterGonad · 28/04/2018 17:10

Kreiger No17 is the cheaper one, No7 is the pricier one with its own counter (usually).

ElspethFlashman · 28/04/2018 18:55

Is CYO a Boots own brand then? They arrived into my store lately but I have never heard of them tbh.

Violetroselily · 28/04/2018 20:30

This is a shame

Their under eye concealer is excellent and the nude blusher I once got as a free gift is the best blusher I’ve ever used

I guess their branding just isn’t relevant anymore. People may be put off buying it as it’s “aimed” at teens, and teens arnt buying it because they’re all buying high end stuff these days

SapphireSeptember · 28/04/2018 21:00

Sadly so. Sad I'm stocking up on my favourite lipsticks! BYO have already annoyed me, I saw a stand in a Boots in London, and hardly any of it is sealed (unlike Seventeen.) I hate that! The packaging looks fairly similar to Seventeen as well. Hmm

MikeUniformMike · 29/04/2018 20:00

I am going to look for the nude blusher tomorrow and get more lipsticks.

KreigersClones · 29/04/2018 21:25

Kreiger No17 is the cheaper one, No7 is the pricier one with its own counter (usually)
Ohhh! Then I’m gutted! I think the cheaper one is better than the dear one!

Violetroselily · 30/04/2018 04:50

Just had a look on the website and everything is being sold at pretty discounted prices.

Unfortunately my local Boots has a refurb recently and scrapped the Seventeen counter so I can’t look in store. That should have been the first sign something was amiss 😢

MadisonAvenue · 10/05/2018 18:19

I've stocked up on concealer, it's only £1.19.

I hadn't heard of CYO, I'd been wondering what would be stocked in 17's place as it took up half of one side of an aisle in my local store.

MissMarplesKnitting · 10/05/2018 18:20

I got CYO foundation and lip stain and they're bloody marvellous. Very impressed for the price.

imjustanerd · 10/05/2018 18:23

Ah shit, just when you find a nice foundation they bloody go and discontinue it. I love No 7 bit gutted about that.

Family123 · 10/05/2018 18:29

Is No7 staying?

BusterGonad · 10/05/2018 22:27

No7 is staying, No17 is going/has gone!

youvegottobekidding · 11/05/2018 10:45

Doll'd up Mascara
Sculpting eyebrow pencil
