Another day, another beauty box. It's a saturated market, yes, but it’s fair to say that some are worth their salt. Take the Look Fantastic Box for example, which is brimming with a generous handful of seriously impressive skincare and make-up stables, all for £15 (yes, really). Another beauty box which has kept beauty buffs in a tight grip? The new Boots Beauty Box.
Arguably one of the best on the scene, Boots's beauty boxes are highly searched for on Google and their trendy nature can be neatly summed up with the high street giant's most recent impressive offering: the Boots x Love Island Beauty Box, £50, which has hit shelves in perfect time as the iconic UK reality dating show crowns Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan its 2024 winners.
Loaded with 18 high-end beauty buys, including ten full-size products, from the likes of Sol De Janeiro,Fenty Beauty, and Laneige, the box gives beauty obsessives like us a chance to try out those cult classics and newbies currently going viral on our TikTok For You Pages, all for a fraction of what they usually cost. Speaking of, this stellar line up is worth over £220, but is available for just £50 and is the perfect partner for all your summer moments.
Is the Boots Beauty Box worth it?
Our verdict:
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer:
‘If you are a seasoned beauty buff especially switched on to the gems being used in the generously decked out Love Island dressing room (all thanks to Boots which has been the official beauty partner of Love Island for the last six consecutive series), this is the box for you. The kit covers all the bases from make-up, skincare and haircare, with the always necessary Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fenty Glow and Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Sprayin fun size, for all your on-the-go rendezvous. That said, there's a whopping 10 full-size products up for grabs, too, including the ever-enduring Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, the viral LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask, and the well-loved Benefit Fan Fest- Fanning & Volumising Mascara. With a saving of £170 on 18 different buys which will see you through summer and beyond, it's certainly a summer steal.'
