UK girls - what do you think of Boots?

I hear it's the number one beauty brand in the UK. And now, Walgreen's is going to carry it in the States. What do you think of it? Any products you like especially? Any you care to warn me about?

Please share.

Hello! I'm here. Representing!!! biggrin

Boots is alright. I don't use a lot of their products - the cosmetics are (I think) known as Boots Number 7. I know that a lot of people go nuts for their skincare range - there was an anti-aging serum that people totally went bonkers over and they sold out straight away.

I think that the good thing about Boots products is that they are reliable and not too expensive.

Is it just the cosmetics that is going over to the states? Or the whole Boots thing? Cause the think I LOVE the most about Boots is that they do fantastic 'meal deals' for lunches lol A sandwich/wrap, snack and drink for £3.29. I get my lunch from Boots very regularly. nod

Thanks, Lisa!

It's just the beauty line that's coming to Walgreen's. They do their own snacks and whatnot. It'll be interesting to check it out!

I've just remembered - Protect & Perfect. That's the serum stuff that everyone went bonkers for.

What kind did you get?

I just got a new jar of Kiehl's Rosa Arctica. Insanely expensive, but my skin's been so dry lately, I needed the big guns. lol

btw - Target has been carrying it for a few years now. At least, certain Targets do. I remember them making a big deal about it. I have not tried any of the products myself, though.

They have them everywhere here, and I remember going to them in the UK.

All lot of the 'natural' brands still carry Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and other

additives I wouldn't consider very 'natural'.

I can only speak for their hair products, but I found them to be at the

higher-end of drug store quality, but not exactly TIGI.

Let me know if you head over here again, i'll meet you for a Boots picnic! lol
