Boots brings back three budget-friendly beauty brands, including Essence
Boots is our go-to health and beauty retailer, whether we're shopping for gut health supplements, toiletries, skincare saviours and make-up top ups.
What we love about Boots is it is a one-stop-shop for absolutely everything. It stocks all of our favourite brands, including No7, Garnier, La Roche Posay, Byoma, Sacheu and many more.
You may have noticed Boots has been dropping more K-Beauty brands online and in store, but it has also brought back iconic budget-friendly beauty brands you may already be familiar with – does Catrice, Essence and SheGlam ring any bells? We thought so.
Boots has brought back the nostalgic beauty labels as the trio have become some of TikTok's most talked about names. More Trending
Catrice is a German beauty label we have loved for many years, namely the concealer or Under Eye Brightener, which we believe is very similar to Nars' Soft Matte Complete Concealer and eye brightener, though other beauty buffs are impressed with the extensive range of foundations to help find the perfect colour match.
Essence is another beloved brand we are over the moon to see make a reappearance, especially as we could only secure the goods in Wilko stores and even then it was hard to get our hands on the Juicy Bomb Shiny Glosses and Lash Princess mascara. Plus, SheGlam's lip plumper and liquid blushers will be the affordable beauty buys you will be delighted to experiment with.
The beauty about these three brands is the products come with super affordable price tags, and in a cost of living crisis that is exactly what we need.
So, these are the products from all three brands we urge you to buy if you see them in stock online or on the shelves in Boots.
This product is a failsafe of ours because it functions as a concealer and eye brightener. The strong pigment helps to conceal dark under eye bags, as well as red blemishes. BUY NOW FOR £3.99
Everyone needs a setting spray to hold your make-up in place, and we have never seen one this cheap. The fine mist is ideal to not cause any discomfort when it's squirting in your face. BUY NOW FOR £4.49
TikTok fans have hailed this primer as a must-have as it is a similar alternative to Milk's Hydro Grip Primer, but for £30 less. It keeps your skin hydrating, provides a smooth base to apply make-up on top of. Plus, it's clean, cruelty free and vegan. BUY NOW FOR £4.79
Apparently, this foundation is a dead ringer for Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter that fetches £39. It's lightweight, provides coverage, and easy to blend. BUY NOW FOR £6.99
Another worthy alternative to Milk's Grip Hydro Primer, but for a significantly lower price tag. It's free from silicones and alcohol, yet promises to hydrate your skin while locking your make-up in place. BUY NOW FOR £3.99
We love nothing more than a lash lifting and lengthening mascara, which is also gentle on the delicate eye area, and this delivers. It's one of the most talked about products on TikTok, and our personal favourites from way back when. BUY NOW FOR £3.99
We have long loved (and used) Benefit's iconic Benetint liquid blush and lip tint, but this may just be the alternative dupe you need to stock up on instead. BUY NOW FOR £3.29
We love a liquid blush, but we particularly adore the sponge doe-foot applicator on the end of this creation to achieve precise application. Apparently this blusher is the most popular item shoppers are buying from SheGlam at Boots now. BUY NOW FOR £4.99
Another hugely popular icon that TikTok users are going crazy over is the Pout Perfect Shine Lip Plumper. It is easy to use, simply click the top and sweep over your lips for a fuller pout, boost of hydration and pop of colour. BUY NOW FOR £4.99
