'I found a way to get 'fresh' £29 perfume for under £5 in Boots deal'
Boots has a real knack for putting together covetable beauty edits, but its latest Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag might be one of the strongest yet. Priced at £32, this limited-edition bundle boasts a value of £124.50, making it a tempting offer for anyone looking to elevate their summer skincare and makeup routine without the premium price tag.
Inside, there are seven mini and travel-friendly products from high-end and cult-favourite brands, all zipped up in a chic, reusable pouch. Whether you're hopping on a plane or planning a local getaway, this kit is undeniably built for on-the-go ease.
As for the products themselves, well, there's some seriously impressive picks to delight skincare, makeup and fragrance enthusiasts alike. The most valuable item in the edit is Floral Street's Sunflower Pop Eau de Parfum, which is usually £29 for 10ml - that's only £3 less than the price you pay for the whole box. And it actually works out at £4.57 when you divide the number of products you get by the price you pay.
Perfect for summer, it's bright, citrusy, and a definite mood-booster in a bottle. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers, it features notes such as sweet mandarin and zesty bergamot, plum, musk and amber. It's not my usual vibe, however, I was pleasantly surprised by it's fresh scent and have found myself reaching for it on sunny days.
The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist is another fragrance in the mix, a viral sensation that has legions of fans thanks to its warm, beachy notes. If you love gourmand scents, it's a summer staple. Both the Sol de Janeiro mist and Floral Street perfume are very different, so some shoppers may not like both, however they do seem to serve different moods - plus it's nice to have the option.

Product Description
Laneige's Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser is another standout. This K-beauty favourite is ultra-hydrating but still lightweight, ideal for post-sun exposure or long travel days. It leaves the skin feeling plump without any residue, and the 20ml size is generous for a mini.
As for makeup, the Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk is the ultimate travel companion. This multitasking cream stick can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips for a really easy, cohesive makeup look. It's perfectly pigmented, easy to apply, and gives that dewy, flushed look as though you're just back from the beach.
I almost didn't recognise Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base without its iconic packaging, but truth be told, I actually like this squeezy applicator even more. This primer has earned cult status among beauty buffs and it's not hard to see why. I found it performed exceptionally well under makeup, helping everything stay fresh even after a full day out. The 15ml tube goes a long way, too - a little truly does the job.
The MAC Stack Elevated Mascara Mini mascara is another great addition to the edit. It delivers impressive volume and lift, perfect for travel or topping up during a long day. My only critique is that the mini wand can feel a bit fiddly, especially for those used to a full-size applicator, but it's a fair trade for the travel convenience.
Finally, there's the Rituals The Ritual Of Karma Shimmering Body Oil which gives a gorgeous glow to the skin. It's a great finishing touch for holiday evening looks, but I think it's got a relatively short window of use year-round as I'm unlikely to wear this on an average Wednesday afternoon, as I would some of the other products. That said, the edit is designed with holidays in mind, so one can't grumble too much.
To help take the stress out of packing, a number of other popular high street retailers have also released travel edits, with fashion favourite ASOS offering their Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box. Coming in a handy travel pouch, the edit costs £40 and boasts £135 worth of products, saving £95 on the RRP. Inside, shoppers will find eight products from a range of top brands, including Elemis, Laneige, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden. As part of the offer, each item works out at £5 apiece.
Glossybox has released a brand-new Travel Beauty Kit Limited Edition - and it saves shoppers more than £120 on the contents. While the goodies inside this beauty haul are worth over £150, it can be snapped up for an impressive £30 by subscribers, or £40 by non-subscribers. Glossybox's travel kit features 12 skincare, makeup and haircare treats, five of which are full-sized.
The Boots edit has received nothing but praise from shoppers, with five star reviews across the board. One wrote: 'Such a good selection of products - especially for taking away. The bag itself is also great quality. I was going to buy the cream blush and that was £22 on its own! Please bring out more edits as good as this one.'
Another added: 'Great value, nice selection of items, especially liked the fragrance,' while a third wrote: 'Looking forward to using these lovely products on my holiday.'
'Absolutely love this little set,' said another. 'I wanted to try a few of these products for a while and when I saw this set for the price I instantly bought. 10/10. Bag is really spacious and will come in handy when I go on holiday.'
And I have to agree with the masses, because this set really is packed with genuinely useful, luxe-feeling products that most people would be thrilled to take on holiday. The Milk, Laneige, and Floral Street products alone justify the purchase, but the entire lineup compliments each other nicely together. Shop the edit here.

Lorraine Kelly's makeup artist shares anti-ageing product from Boots for 'dewy' skin
Professional makeup artist Helen Hand said she follows a simple rule when it comes to youthful makeup, and she used a radiant product to keep Lorraine's complexion glowy With a plethora of skincare and tweakments offering solutions to look youthful, Lorraine Kelly's makeup artist revealed a makeup hack that lifts years off one's look. Fans were obsessed with Lorraine's dewy complexion. Makeup artist Helen Hand shared with the ITV presenter her go-to tips to avoid looking old. In the YouTube video, she created a soft glow look for Lorraine using the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation, which is currently on sale at Boots and reduced from £52 to £44.20. She explained: "I always think a good head of hair does make you look young. And years ago they used to say 'cut your hair as you get older', not necessarily. Just keep it soft, I always use that word. Even with makeup, as we get older, you can use any colour but just keep everything soft. If it's hard, it's ageing." Viewers couldn't help but notice Lorraine's glowy look as many people asked: "What foundation have you used on Lorraine in this video? It is really dewy." A second commented: "Please would you show us the makeup tutorial for your face. It's a fabulous look." The Chanel Les Beiges foundation contains over 40% water; it is a fresh, lightweight emulsion with a formula that claims to hydrate the skin all day long and give protection. The polymer, which acts as an emulsifying agent, diminishes the appearance of blemishes and fine lines and fills in visible pores for smooth skin. Lorraine wore shade B30 (medium shade, neutral undertone) and B40 (intense medium shade, neutral undertone), but shoppers can look online and find their match from the selection. The foundation has a delicate, silky texture that glides over skin and forms a layer that is invisible to the eye and imperceptible to touch, like a second skin. One customer shared: "Good coverage without drying out mature skin. This is the best alternative since Channel discontinued Vitaluminier,. Typically retailing which I had used for many years." But a shopper disagreed and said the Les Beiges foundation 'doesn't compare' with the discontinued Vitaluminier as she said: "It does not have the luminosity of your old one." Another embraced the dewy look, sharing: " Natural radiance in a bottle. I have been absolutely loving this foundation and the natural look it gives. It's adaptable with the finish, depending on how you apply it, works incredibly with just your fingers and even more perfecting with a brush. But this will never look too heavy on the skin. People always comment how beautiful my skin looks and ask what skin care I use, my secret is this." Alternatively, Chantecaille's Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation is loved by skincare buffs who want a skin-like foundation with coverage. It is well rated by celebrities like Lisa Snowdon, typically retails at £83, shoppers can take 25% off using code BEAUTY25 to drop the price to £62.25. Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Foundation, £39, offers buildable medium coverage with a natural, radiant glow. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rose complex, and patented BixActiv, the base makeup targets pigmentation and helps reduce visible shine and pores. As for the Chanel foundation Lorraine was wearing, it is formulated with Kalanchoe extract, which forms a barrier on the skin's surface, that protects against the harmful effects of indoor and outdoor pollution. The Healthy Glow Booster pigments light up skin with a subtle satin finish, giving an increase of 77% in immediate radiance.

Boots slashes 20% off Mugler's Alien perfume that 'smells amazing' and 'lasts all day'
The Alien Refillable Eau De Parfum 30ml has been reduced on Boots - giving shoppers 20% off A beloved Mugler fragrance that customers adore has been discounted in a rare sale at Boots. The Alien Refillable Eau De Parfum 30ml - arguably one of the brand's most iconic scents - has seen its price cut by 20% on the health and beauty retailer's website. This means customers can grab the floral woody scent for £55 instead of £69. The feminine perfume is suitable for wear throughout the year, with notes of white amber, cashmeran wood, and jasmine sambac. One customer was seriously taken with the scent, titling their review 'by far the greatest'. Alternatively, other fragrances currently on offer include Marc Jacobs' Perfect Intense 50ml Eau De Parfum Spray which is reduced to £40 from £102 at The Perfume Shop. One customer described the Marc Jacobs scent as 'one of my favourite daily perfumes' reports OK!.

It's been discounted on the beauty retailer's website from £72 to £58 and carries notes of tangerine, neroli, and jasmine. If customers have their sights set on Mugler's Alien perfume, it's worth noting that while the classic scent boasts a 4.8 star rating out of five at Boots, not all customers are fans. Upgrade your perfume collection £69 £55 Boots Shop here One customer remarked: "This fragrance was good for the first couple of hours after applying it. Half way through the evening the fragrance was almost gone. For the price of it I do not think it is worth the money." Another described it as 'rather overpowering.'

Despite mixed opinions, the perfume, which boasts over 1,800 reviews on Boots, has a legion of admirers. A satisfied customer shared in their review: "Wow! What can I say? It is amazing! I bought this perfume over a year ago now since I smelt it on many people and I couldn't resist not asking them what it is as it smells absolutely amazing.
