Boots Botanics

Before I begin this isn't strictly the right category as I'm going to write about Boots Botanics revitilising eye masks, rather than Boots Botanics. There isn't a category for eye masks and as I'm sure you're all aware you can't suggest items. Anyway everyone else is doing this so I shal, so there! I'm usually knackered by the end of the day. Tiredness, smoke, busy train stations take their toll on my peepers. The other day I forgot my glasses, so by the end of a day at work my eyes were heavy and tired. I've had a tin of Botanic revitalising eye masks lingering on my shelf for a while and decided to put them to action. ...  Read the complete review

I have usually only bought very cheap foundations, such as Maybelline Great Wear, but decided for a treat to splash out on a more expensive one, imagining that the quality might correlate with the price in some manner. I bought this when I went to boots, for the first time ever asking an assistant to help me find a makeup of exactly the right tone for my skin. I wanted to buy a Ruby and Mille foundation, but the colours were a bit too peachy for my skin, which despite being pale, tans easily and I need more of a beige colour than the pinky tones that seem to be in most of the foundations made for pale skin. The only one which the assistant was able to ...  Read the complete review

Boots Botanics Pore Perfecting Foundation I'm a big fan of the Boots Botanics range - I'm yet to find a product within the range that I've been less than satisfied with, and Botanics Pore Perfecting Foundation is another of those that's added to my favourites list. Botanics Pore Perfecting Foundation, in Boots' own words: "Absorbs excess oil to control shine, with clarifying rosemary and burdock to help clear and protect from blemishes" Being a person who has problem skin from time to time, this sounded perfect for me, so despite what I thought at the time to be quite a hefty price, I invested my £10.00 in a ...  Read the complete review

I use the Botanics Balancing Deep Clean Gel. It comes in a 150ml plastic squeezy bottle. It is a green gel and it does smell a bit soapy, but it is not like soap at all once you add some water to it. You just put a small dollop in your hand, add some warm water and lather it up. Then you massage it in to your pre-wetted face. It currently retails at £3.99. This gel claims to flush away impurities and make-up, and contains extracts of burdock and liquorice. I can't claim to know much about burdock and liquorice but they seem to work! The Botanics range uses pure natural plant extracts. I cannot use soap on my face and this face gel is a ...  Read the complete review

Yuk! I didn't like this at all. I borrowed it from a friend, with the same skin tone and type (comination) and found it very disappointing indeed. I usually use the liquid concealer from the body shop which i love, but this one was horrible! It went all flaky when it was applied, and did not glide on smoothly like my usual concealer. the tone was greyish, not the best for under-eye bags, i would have thought. i think whatever skin type you have, it wouldn't work. it was so nasty!! Almost as bad as mabelline great wear concealer. Which is rubbish, too. I wouldn't recommend this. Try the body shop one! It's the same price, and a much ...  Read the complete review
