Boots shoppers say £10 Inkey bundle leaves skin 'nourished and glowing'
The beauty bundle is now more than half its usual price online - and shoppers are raving about the results Boots customers have been raving about a popular cleanser that "melts away" make-up whilst leaving "nourished and glowing" complexions behind. The product bundle has now been discounted in an online deal that cuts its regular price by more than half. Usually on sale for £21, The Inkey List Cleansing Balm and Pads Bundle has been slashed during the retailer's weekly flash promotion to just £10. This bundle has a 150ml tube of the popular Oat Cleansing Balm (worth £12) alongside three of the Reusable Cleansing Pads (worth £9). The oat-infused formula is described as "suitable for all skin types, including sensitive". It dissolves "all traces of make-up, including waterproof and long-wear products" and promotes a "nourished and more glowing complexion." The balm comes alongside a set of Inkey's dual-textured Cleansing Pads, offering two surfaces for "the ultimate clean". One side features a "super-soft" texture designed to dissolve cosmetics, SPF, and dirt, whilst the "lightly textured side" provides gentle buffing to "remove stubborn impurities and refine skin's appearance". Similar products are available elsewhere, including the B. Melting Cleansing Balm at Superdrug (£8.50 for 120g, reduced from £17) or the el.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm (£10.88 for 56.5g on Amazon). However, fans of Inkey will be pleased to see the discount at Boots, available until July 23, reports the Mirror. The bundle has earned hundreds of five-star reviews from customers who were "hooked" on the product that "removes make-up fast" and offers "a soft, supple finish to your skin." Shoppers who experienced positive outcomes with this item have left priasse online. One said: "I really like this cleansing balm. It feels soft and smooth on the skin, and melts away dirt and sunscreen easily. After washing, my face feels clean but not dry or tight. It's very gentle and perfect. I use it every day and it never causes irritation. Will buy again!". Another added: "Great product - my skin has been so much better following the use of this product and my skin is looking so much healthier. Was having loads of breakouts prior and now my skin is great since I've been using this product." A third shared: "I love this cleanser. It cleans my skin thoroughly but leaves no dryness or tight feeling. It's super gentle but super effective, and I use it every day." Yet, not everyone was as impressed. A different user wrote: "I love this product so much, and I'm so disappointed that I never quite know what I'm going to get. Some tubes are more oily and others have granules in them, which I really don't want to use, and result in me wastefully throwing them out." And another warned: "I use to love this! This was my favourite cleanser but I think something has changed and there's more grit? It now just irritates my skin rather than cleansing it. Really disappointed." Build up points that you can keep track of in-store at the checkout, online through your account or via the Boots app. On your next shopping trip, you can use the value of your points instead of cash to treat yourself.

6 new beauty editor approved buys – including Dior's new lip balm and a £13 hydrating cleanser
Plus, the facial you need to book in for now I'M pretty sure I've found the best-value facial in London, and it just so happens to be from one of my favourite beauty brands. The facial in question? Wildsmith's Radical Botany Facial, £140 for an hour (or £70 for 30 minutes). Advertisement Tucked away in the turrets of London's Liberty department store, when you walk through the double door's of the specially designed Wildsmith Treehouse, you're transported to the countryside, with projections of trees on the walls and a birdsong lullaby to soundtrack the treatment. 8 Wildsmith's Radical Botany Facial is the best-value facial in London Credit: Wildsmith At face value, the price seems steep, but it is redeemable against purchases of Wildsmith products on the day of yout treatment - so you're effectively getting it free. Trust me, you're going to want to stock up, given how good your skin will feel after the treatment. Despite it being fully redeemable, they don't cut corners – the bed is wider than most used for treatments (about the size of a single mattress), so you can completely relax, and it's heated too, making it ultra-cosy. Advertisement 8 The price of Wildsmith's Radical Botany Facial at Liberty London is fully redeemable against products Credit: Wildsmith The facial is far more than just a sales pitch for the products - wellness is the aim. It starts with a foot massage, before your legs are gently stretched one by one, making my spine instantly feel longer, followed by a massage-heavy facial that dissolved the tension in my brow and jaw, as well as a scalp massage and a hand and arm massage that had me walking on air. If you're not yet convinced, a 90-minute version of the same treatment at Wildsmith's home in luxe hotel Heckfield Place will set you back £300 – and that isn't redeemable on products! Advertisement Best new skin launches 8 Wildsmith's latest serum was created to hydrate skin without feeling heavy Credit: Wildsmith Wildsmith Skin Radiance Light Serum, £85 I discovered the new Wildsmith Skin Radiance Light Serum, £85, while I was there and have used it every day since. It feels like silk on the skin, and is packed with my favourite ingredient, niacinamide, which helps to reduce inflammation, redness and uneven skin texture, while balancing oil production and reducing breakouts. Advertisement It also contains brightening antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to hydrate skin and boost radiance. Made specifically for humid climates, it's not heavy or greasy, which is perfect for oily skin like mine. I'm a huge fan of high-low beauty – pairing expensive products with affordable ones to get the best routine for my money. 8 Inkey's new one-step cleanser removes every scrap of make-up Credit: The Inkey List Advertisement The Inkey List Hydrating Cream-To-Milk Cleanser, £13 As serums tend to have the highest potency of active ingredients, I generally spend most of my budget on them, so I've been pairing the Wildsmith one with The Inkey List Hydrating Cream-To-Milk Cleanser, £13, which also launched last month. As the name suggests, it starts as a lightweight cream, which feels soothing and hydrating yet melts away every trace of make-up, before transforming into a milk-like consistency on contact with water, so there's no residue left behind. It's hard to find a cleanser that gets rid of everything in one step without turning into an oil or balm, but this does it all. Advertisement Best new hair launches I have a similar attitude when it comes to haircare, preferring to spend money on high-tech tools and products that make a visible difference, such as Living Proof Style Lab Flex Hairspray, £27, which has changed the game for me. 8 This genius hairspray can be applied to wet hair before styling Credit: Living Proof Living Proof Style Lab Flex Hairspray, £27 My hair doesn't really hold a curl, but this clever hairspray contains heat protection, so can be applied to wet hair before styling – and voilà, my curls now stay put for days! Advertisement 8 Claw clips are a must-have in summer to keep hair off your neck and face Credit: Loxx Loxx Triple Flower Clip in Lemon Drop, £18 Similarly, Loxx Triple Flower Clip in Lemon Drop, £18, has been a godsend during the hot weather. I've struggled to find a claw clip that can hold my waist-length hair, but this extra-long, arched design, created by celebrity hairstylist Chad Maxwell, keeps every strand up without tugging at my scalp or leaving a dent in my hair. Advertisement Best new make-up launches Make-up-wise, the last month has been about adding colour to my face, as I'm ghostly pale and exhausted - I can't decide if the hot-weather induced sleepless nights are to blame, or my inability to refuse an impromptu pub visit in the sunshine! 8 Thanks to its shimmery formula, this blush stick adds a radiant glow Credit: Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick, £30 I find blush wakes up my complexion better than bronzer (although I'll turn to that come August), and Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick, £30, has a subtle shimmer that instantly makes me look healthier, without being too glittery or exaggerating the texture on my cheeks. Advertisement I love that I can draw it straight on to my face, and blend it out with my fingers - no other tools necessary! 8 Dior's new Lip Glow Butter brings all the nostalgic 00s vibes Credit: Dior Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter, £33 Finally, Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter, £33, made it into my bag on cute factor alone, thanks to its adorable monogram charm. Advertisement The formula feels somewhere between a lip balm and a lip butter, and leaves my dry lips hydrated - I've had more compliments when wearing the Black Cherry shade than I can count on both hands!
