Thank goodness for Boots. Seriously, where would we be without our high street’s beauty mainstay? Somewhere far more dishevelled, that’s for sure. Whether we’re stocking up on key bathroom cabinet essentials, shopping for smart supplements or browsing the bodycare aisles (repeat after us: nowhere competes), Boots has us covered. So imagine our delight (ok, pure unadulterated joy) when the much-loved retailer launched over – wait for it – 54 new luxe beauty brands. 54! We’re talking everything from Drunk Elephant to Anastasia Beverly Hills, MAC to Huda beauty and The Ordinary. Heck, even Kylie Beauty is on its way! If you thought you loved your local Boots branch before – you just wait...

New Bespoke Beauty Services Tailored To You

And there’s more: with new beauty brands come new beauty services. Boots' in-store beauty consultations might have paused during lockdown, but their new Premium Beauty Virtual Services quickly worked to fill the gap, offering a virtual alternative that allows you to log on from the comfort of your sofa. Such was the success of Boots' virtual beauty consultations that they're still going strong today.

The Beauty Crew can talk you through any beauty conundrum, from how to achieve glowing skin at home to how to hit on your perfect lipstick shade, all via video appointment. They also host masterclasses with professional make-up artists and skincare experts - sessions that serve up countless must-have tips and tricks of the beauty trade, often with a few exclusive sneak peeks and free beauty goodies thrown into the mix, too. Or, if you're a little Zoom fatigued, there's no problem - in store appointments are now back up and running for face to face consultations.

So with summer weather - hopefully! - here to stay, where better to stock up on a few new season essentials than Boots? Shop team Grazia's edit of Boots' best beauty buys below. You're in for a treat.
