July Beauty Awards

Hi there! Today’s post is about my favourite products in July. There’s no big intro today, so onto the goodies!

3rd place – Primark PS… Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask

Primark did a fantastic job with this deeply hydrating sheet mask. 😍

Runner-Up – Yves Rocher Collection Été

Yves Rocher’s Collection Été fragrance was a very welcome surprise! 🥰

WINNER – Boots No. 7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil

Boots knocked it out of the park with this amazing facial oil. The product page on Boots’ website says “turn back the time” – and based on my experience, I think this product has true anti-ageing powers. I’m a fan!

Onto the honourable mentions! L’Oréal’s Fine Flowers face wash is really great, and I Love…’s Raspberry & Blackberry shower gel is fabulous.

I’ve also enjoyed Spa Premium’s Epsom Salts and Palmolive’s summery limited edition shower gels are firm summer favourites.

Which products have you (re)discovered lately? Feel free to comment, and thanks for reading! 😘

Boots No. 7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Boots No. 7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil which I’ve been using since June.

This facial oil with jojoba oil and retinyl palmitate is one of the core pieces of the No. 7 skin care collection.

It promises to give dry skin the boot and to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. The product page on Boots’ website says “turn back the clock” and “say bye-bye to dry and dehydrated skin…” Well, OK then!

When I started to use this facial oil, I didn’t believe that it would live up to its promises. I didn’t like it for the first few days, and I didn’t think it was rich enough. However, I kept using it, and after about 10 days, I found that it that killed off the 2 eczema patches which I’ve had for a few months now.

I’ve tried other products, and some did help with the eczema. But this facial oil has really gone the extra mile for my skin. I’m glad I continued to use it even though I was sceptical at first.

Based on my experience, I’d recommend this facial oil. It’s a non-greasy formula, so you might be thinking it’s not rich enough for dry skin. But it actually is rich and deeply hyrating. I will buy it again, no doubt!

Boots No. 7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil is available as 30ml for £23. Smaller 15ml bottles are usually available as part of seasonal gift sets.
