Boots is a high street stalwart, the place that you go for meal deals, 3-for-2 on shower gel, and to stock up on necessities like deodorant and toothpaste. And while Boots has long been known for its brilliant house brand No7, and its aisles of high street favourites like Pantene, Maybelline New York, and Nivea, recently, Boots has upped it beauty game and is offering some of the best big-name, new, and niche brands on the beauty block. In May 2019, they announced they'd be adding Fenty Beauty to their shelves, while in January 2020, we got the good news that Huda Beauty would now be stocked on both their digital and in-store shelves.
Now, while the larger Boots stores have a bigger line-up of brands and products, you can always order online and collect at your local store (next day!), which is a handy service to know about.
From Millie Bobby Brown's new brand Florence by Mills to Australia's newest export Nude by Nature, we've pulled together the 16 top beauty buys that you can buy online at Boots.com today.
Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette
Boots celebrated the new decade by adding one of the biggest makeup brands in the world to their beauty roster: Huda Beauty. It's hard to narrow down a favourite from the line, but if we had to pick up one thing, it would be the Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette (£50, originally £58), which launched
at the end of 2019 and immediately had makeup fans in a frenzy over all the gorgeous icy metallics and chunky glitters.
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2%
Yes, Boots stocks The Ordinary! If you're looking to effectively exfoliate your skin, then look no further than The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% (£7). With alpha and beta hydroxy acids, this leave-on mask sloughs away at dead skin cells and even works to unclog pores with zero scrubbing required. It tingles, but in a good way.
Florence by Mills Swimming Under The Eyes Gel Pads
At just 15, Millie Bobby Brown has added beauty mogul to her CV alongside her star-making turn in Stranger Things. Florence by Mills Swimming Under The Eyes Gel Pads (£34) are soaked in coconut extract and sodium hyaluronate to rehydrate the delicate skin under the eyes that can easily look dull and tired. Oh, and while you're at it check out the blushers that have makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes's seal of approval.
Superfacialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil
While cleansing can sometimes leave your skin feeling tight and stripped, the Superfacialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil (£8) effectively removes dirt, pollution, and makeup, while vitamin C works to leave skin look as luminous as it is clean.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+
Boots boasts a brilliant selection of French pharmacy skincare including Vichy and Avène Eau Thermale. But for anyone with blemish-prone skin, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + (£17) is well worth snapping up and slathering on. It contains a cocktail of spot-fighting, sebum reducing, and skin calming ingredients like salicylic acid, zinc, and niacinamide.
Wunder2 Wunderbrow 1-Step Brow Gel
If filling your brows with pencil or powder every day is a bit of a faff, try Wunder2 Wunderbrow 1-Step Brow Gel (£20). You work the formula through your brows using the spoolie included, leave it to dry, and it will last up to three days.
Too Cool For School My Skin-Licious Secret Pantry
This Too Cool For School My Skin-Licious Secret Pantry (£22.50), set contains the K-Beauty brand's five cult sheet masks. Pick and choose depending on whether your skin needs hydrating, firming, or tightening.
Tan-Luxe The Water
Okay, so this doesn't have a guide colour but we promise you that this Tan-Luxe The Water (£33), is fool-proof. Exfoliate first, spritz your body with this tan, and then massage using a mitt using long sweeping movements for a natural, streak-free tan every time.
Morphe 35O Nature Glow Artistry Palette
Can you believe this mammoth eyeshadow palette containing 35 shadows is under £25? The Morphe 35O Nature Glow Artistry Palette (£24) is packed with seriously wearable neutrals in mattes and shimmers, as well as warm rust, reds, and bronzes.
Josh Wood Everything Mask
The king of hair colour, Josh Wood, sells his line of at-home colour at Boots. The range is seriously easy to use and more advanced than most box dyes on the market. The Everything Mask (£15) locks in your colour and leaves hair ridiculously soft and shiny whether you dye your strands or not.
Becca First Light Priming Filter
A go-to brand for primers and highlighters, the Becca First Light Priming Filter (£28) is lavender-toned to neutralise sallow tones and brighten a dull lacklustre complexion. It also leaves skin seriously dewy.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminiser
A Fenty Beauty bestseller and available at Boots, the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminiser (£16) suits all skin tones and adds a glorious shine and subtle shimmer to lips.
It Cosmetics CC+ Illumination
Want people to think you have flawless skin? The It Cosmetics CC+ Illumination (£31) evens skin tone, conceals imperfections, and adds a post-facial glow to your complexion. It's a beauty editor and influencer favourite.
No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Boost Sheet Masks
No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Boost Sheet Masks (£26) are soaked in serum to leave skin hydrated, plump, and glowy. The sheet mask even has ear hooks so that once it's in place it won't slip and slide. Each mask is saturated with a line-smoothing elixir of peptides, hyaluronic acid and brightening vitamin C.
YouGoodSkin Nourishing Hot Cloth Cleanser
YourGoodSkin Nourishing Hot Cloth Cleanser (£9.50) is seriously good at removing makeup and leaving skin feeling soft and well, nourished. It comes with two cloths that remove the cleanser while gently exfoliating the skin to leave you with a bright, happy complexion.
Nude by Nature Precision Brow Mascara
A-Beauty is having a moment and Australian beauty brand Nude by Nature landed in Boots earlier this year. The Precision Brow Mascara (£16) is tinted with a waxy texture. The tiny brush allows you to coat and groom every brow hair, you can go lightly to groom the brows or build it up for a bushy, full-on brow look.
Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel
One of the best bronzers in the world according to basically every professional makeup artist we've ever spoken to, Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel (£40) is a dense, bronze-toned cream formula that imparts a sunkissed glow to the skin. It might be pricier than other bronzers but the pot is huge, so it lasts ages.
