No more mouldy boots

Advantages: Avoids mould; helps dry washing
Disadvantages: Needs space both in front and behind

...One morning, pulling a pair of boots from under a chair in the corner of my bedroom, I was horrified to find them covered in mould. A few days before, I thought I had noticed a smell of mould as I came through the front door of my flat, but I had had no idea where it was coming from. From the time I moved into my flat, I had been aware that the plants didn't need watering as often as they used to, and washing did seem to take a long time to dry, even in summer. There was obviously a lot of moisture in the air; the boots could just be tied up in a bag and disposed of, but I didn't want to end up with mould growing on the walls and creating a health hazard. I decided to have a look at dehumidifiers and came across the Delonghi DEM10 Compact, available online at both John Lewis and Amazon at the price of £99.95. I didn't want to order...

Boots No7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow (Innocence)

Advantages: Nice texture, colour comes out well
Disadvantages: Expensive, small, difficult to use brush

...Yet again last week I found myself with a £5 off No7 voucher from Boots! This time I decided I would buy a light coloured eyeshadow because my usual one had smashed in my bag! I always like to have one which has a little brush inside the pot so I can take it around in my bag and still use it easily. So when I noticed No7 do one like this I decided to try it. I was surprised that it was £7, as it's a pretty small eyeshadow, but with the voucher it meant I only paid £2. The only pale colour I could see was a nice cream colour called "Innocence" Packaging It comes in a little black case with gold 'No7' on the front. When you open it the eyeshadow takes up about ¾ of the space inside and there is a really cute little brush in the other bit. In some ways it is good that it is small because it fits really easily in your bag but I...

Boots No.7 Instant Radiance Concealer - brilliant product

Advantages: Blends nicely, conceals dark shadows, one tube lasts a few months
Disadvantages: No way of knowing when it will run out, cleaning the brush is a mild nuisance

...I've always had quite dark circles under my eyes which never completely go away however much sleep I've had. My previous experiences with using the normal, old-fashioned concealer sticks have looked cakey and dry, and give the appearance that I have wrinkles, which is most unwelcome! Like other reviewers that have commented on the Instant Radiance Concealer, I had read about Touch Eclat by Yves Saint Laurent and wondered if I should invest in it, but thought the price was prohibitive. Reading up about Instant Radiance Concealer on the Boots website convinced me that this would be a reasonably-priced alternative, so I bought some on my next visit to the shop. It comes in a narrow black box with an instruction leaflet. The concealer itself is contained in a cylinder that looks similar to a pen. The concealer costs £12.75 which isn...

BOOTS - NO LONGER JUST "THE CHEMIST"

Advantages: Advantage points; Health and Beauty products; much more
Disadvantages: Can be expensive; poor customer service.

...and drink, you can find most drinks there from milky to fizzy and some sandwiches with healthy options plus some confectionery as well. A main item, drink and snack item is a 'meal deal' at up to £2.99 (£3.49 in London and other 'premier' locations). * Gifts - You can see these temporary departments appear before special occasions like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas & New Years, Easter, and Valentine's Day (I almost forgot about it) (followed by a sale). Boots Own Brands and Ranges. Boots has its own cosmetic brand, the famous No.7 and No.17 for cosmetics and skin care; also a few others, such as the Mediterranean; plants extract (botanic); natural remedies, and lots more. They also extended their brand to produce their own medications, confectionery, and baby products. They almost cover everything. Now . . . to...

Boots No7 36- Lash Mascara

Advantages: Easy to remove
Disadvantages: Useless brush, doesn't do what it claims

...And so my bad luck with Mascara's continues? I decided to buy this mascara this week after being pleased with the No7 Volume mascara in the past. This one was £11.50 but I had a £5 off voucher so it didn't seem too much for a No7 mascara. I chose this particular one because the name sounded appealing and the promises it made to make your lashes much more curled and thicker looking. Also there was a display on the counter of the exciting new brush which did look rather good, with its coiled middle and normal bristles on the outside. Also the display brush was pink which somehow made it more appealing even though the one you buy would obviously never actually look pink! Packaging The mascara comes in a tall silvery gold bottle which looks really nice, and was another reason I chose this mascara. It looked better than all...

Yes, Boots Foot Balm Does the Trick.

Advantages: A buttery foot balm that works well.
Disadvantages: The price.

...The No 7 Range from Boots has some good skin creams and I was searching the site because I wanted to review the No 7 Age Rewind cream but I am going to have to request that product. While I was running down the list of No 7 products I noticed the softening foot balm, one of the creams that I have used in the past. The 75ml tube of No 7 softening foot balm is fairly expensive in my opinion (£9.50 for 75ml ) but any cream that is successful in softening tough cracked heels has to be worth a trial run. The flip top tube is very plain and simple but that applies to most of the No 7 packaging. Maybe we should be pleased that No7 are concentrating on producing good quality products in simplistic packaging, I often think that the cosmetic companies do try to outdo each other in making their wares stand out on the shelves. If the skin...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

boots no 7

Advantages: great coverage
Disadvantages: not great in the summer

...I have used many no 7 foundations over the years and, think that although it is not the best for price it gives the best coverage and it lasts. Boots No 7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation comes in various shades Suede, Tan, Buff, Almond, Ivory and Blonde. I use Blonde in all the ranges of foundation that no 7 have. This gives your skin a soft finish as the foundation blends easily with the skin and leaves you face with a flawless finish to cover all those blemishes, so all you require is a little powder brushed over the top and it looks great. I use this more in the winter, I use a tinted moisturiser in the summer as I think you need a lighter look in the sun and this does not do that well as it gives a great coverage but in the summer it tends to melt whilst on you face and it ends up looking uneven. Where as in the summer...

No Fuss in Boots

Advantages: Professional service, large range, good advice.
Disadvantages: That woman!

...I think most potential purchasers of glasses and contact lenses are now aware of the inclusion of the Boots Opticians practices within major Boots stores. My only experience is with the store in Coventry, and may not be indicative of stores elsewhere. I should also add that I wear glasses only and the following opinion is based upon that fact. A considerable number of newspaper, magazine, and TV adverts try to put across the message that Boots Opticians can offer a professional service with a wide choice of products, and still be competitive on price with other major chains of opticians. Recently the promotions have focussed on buy one pair get one free offers and this is one of the reasons I chose them. The other, slightly more pressing reason, was that I'd managed to break my glasses and, being a danger to myself and others...

Boots does it again!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I am a fan of most of the Boots No 7 range and think it is every bit as good as many more expensive brands I have tried. You may remember earlier in the year all the hype about Boots no 7 protect and perfect beauty serum following a horizon programme that proclaims this was one anti-aging product that actually worked. Well on the back of this success Boots have recently launched a protect and perfect foundation. Boots claim that this is no ordinary foundation, as it will actually help to improve the appearance of your skin even when you remove it! With claims like these I couldn't wait to try it for myself. The foundation. ************* The foundation comes in a fairly plain looking glass bottle. It has a pull off black lid that I find very difficult to get off! The bottle has a pump dispenser and that thankfully is easy to use. It...
