Summer sale season is fast approaching, and we are ready for a shopping haul.
Amazon Prime Day is set to run from 8th to 11th July in what will be the longest sale extravaganza from the online retailer. But Boots is set to give Amazon Prime Day a run for its money as it will launch a 48-hour sale with up to half price on leading beauty brands.
Boots’ sale will see prices slashed by half price on L’Oreal Groupe products as part of its Better Together campaign, which includes L’Oreal Paris, Garnier, NYX Cosmetics, and many more.
The half price sale has one small request – shoppers must spend £30 or more to see the price of their basket drop.
However, what you spend your £30 minimum on is entirely up to you. What’s more your shopping basket can be a medley of bestselling beauty products across haircare, skincare, bodycare and make-up cosmetics, and you can mix and match items.
Whether you are restocking your favourite beauty essentials, trialling the viral sensations everyone has been raving about, or banking items to give as a present for a special someone in the coming weeks or months, is entirely up to you.
The Boots sale will run from 8th to 9th July, which coincides with Amazon’s Prime Day sale. So, if the items on your wishlist have sold out online at Boots you can always check Amazon as a back-up plan – or vice versa.
With a plethora of products to shop for less it can be overwhelming knowing what is worth purchasing in the Boots sale, so we have done the hard work for you.

Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Fluid SPF50+ Invisible
Garnier’s Vitamin C Daily UV Fluid SPF50+ is one of my favourite multifunctional products. It is a lightweight formula that works to brighten, protect, and hydrate the skin. Infused with Vitamin C, peptides, hyaluronic acid, as well as SPF50, this simple skincare solution helps to prevent dark spots, smooth the skin tone and texture, as well as leave your skin glowing without any white cast.
Maybelline Grippy Serum Makeup Primer
The ultimate primer that promises to be longlasting as it claims to hold your make-up in place for up to 24 hours. This serum-to-primer formula has been infused with 2% niacinamide that hydrates, smooths, and holds your look all day. It is easy to blend into the skin, and enables make-up to sit perfectly on top.
NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Blush
This cream-to-powder blush is buttery soft and went viral when it first launched. It delivers a strong pigment for a bold look, and a little goes a long way. This lightweight texture melts seamlessly into skin, but is buildable for a bolder look. The compact also features a mirror to make applying on the go a breeze.
NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint + SPF
This product is a skincare and make-up hybrid as it functions as a moisturiser, tinted moisturiser, highlighter, bronzer and SPF in one. The formula contains shea butter, mango butter, and niacinamide to nourish the skin, while SPF30 protects the skin from harmful UV rays. It promises 12-hour wear for a longlasting make-up look.
Thayers Hydrating Facial Toner
This toner is soothing, hydrating but also exfoliating. The alcohol-free toner has been made with aloe vera, witch hazel, and rose petal, which heals any breakouts and inflammation. It also functions to refine pores and hydrate the skin for an even skin tone.
L’Oreal Paris Elvive Growth Booster Bundle
The ultimate haircare bundle, as it includes L’Oréal Elvive Growth Booster Serum, L’Oréal Elvive Growth Booster Conditioner and matching shampoo for a full set. The products have been infused with hair and scalp-loving ingredients that strengthen the hair, treat dry and damaged locks, while also encouraging healthy hair growth.
Garnier Ambre Solaire Hydra 24H Protect SPF50 Suncream Spray
Sun protection is essential, and Garnier’s Ambre Solaire Hydra 24H Protect SPF50 Suncream Spray has garnered high praise from shoppers. The water-resistant spray has been formulated with vitamin E to nourish the skin, while it also offers SPF 50 for optimum protection against UV rays. It is cruelty free and non-greasy.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
This Maybelline mascara is not only a bestseller but it went viral on social media because of its lash lengthening powers. The flex tower brush and fibre formula lift and define lashes from root to tip for full volume and extension in just one sweep.
One thing’s for sure, our bank balance and debit card are going to hate us when this sale is over!
