Boots Glow Range.

Hello, my lovelies, I hope you are all safe and well, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

I have been having a love affair with Boots own-brand products for quite a while now, including all things No7 too! I came across the Boots Glow range and of course, I just had to give it a go. I’ve got three products to share with you today.

I have the Boots Glow Cleansing Oil, Glow Brightening Mist, and the Gel Mask too. I especially love the pretty pink and white packaging with the branding in gold. Let me tell you my thoughts on the Cleansing Oil first.

At just £4.00 this is so lovely to use. Containing Olive fruit oil and Sunflower oil to help to cleanse the skin deep into the pores. It’s a pump-type delivery system and it does say to apply the cleansing oil to the skin with a cotton pad and sweep it over the face. I didn’t do that,  I added a couple of pumps of the oil to my hands and massage over my face, and then remove with a wet flannel or muslin cloth. I’ve been cleansing my face with all kinds of cleansers this way for years, and I won’t change now. I have loved how my skin feels after using this cleansing oil, so soft and clean and looks very glowing too. Some cheaper cleansing oils can leave a greasy film on the skin after removal, but this one didn’t do that, my face just feels clean afterward. I haven’t used it for makeup removal, I use it after I have taken off my makeup. I must say it does smell rather delicious too!

Next up is the beautifully cooling and hydrating Glow Brightening Mist. This contains Niacinamide which helps with the appearance of the skin and to help moisturise the skin too. I usually use it in my morning routine spritzed straight onto the skin after the cleansing oil. When I used it for the first time it was a bit of a shock to my system the spray was rather fierce, but do you know what I loved that! After I spray it onto my skin I press the product into my face, after it’s dried down I do have a lovely glowy face, ready for my day cream. I don’t have a moisturiser from this range right now, I shall be ordering one asap and I’ll get back to you.

Now lastly but not least-ly (lol) the Glow Gel Mask. Again containing Niacinamide, but also containing glycerin too, this gel mask is very moisturising and hydrating. So cooling when first applied too, really delicious. I applied it thickly to my skin after cleansing, sat in the bath for a half-hour or so, then removed it with a muslin cloth/flannel, it leaves my skin so soft, and hydrated and yes indeed very glowy too!

The Glow range of products at Boots is so inexpensive, between £4 and £5 is all that I’ve seen. I definitely want to add to my stash. If you would like to check out the range you can find it HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading today, stay safe. Sending lots of love.

No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Micellar Cleansing Water.

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

I’ve been shopping a bit on the  Boots website just lately, and a few weeks ago I treated myself to the Boots No7 Beauty Vault, you can read all about it HERE. One of the products that I was very taken with is the No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Micellar Cleansing Water. I’m loving skincare products that are going to help my skin look more radiant and glowing, it does make for younger-looking skin, and as I’ve aged and got to  60 years old my skin had a tendency to look dull and grey, which made me look older, I feel anyway.

This is a huge 200ml bottle with a very handy pump-action application delivery system. 2 or 3 pumps are enough for a quick cleanse in the morning or to freshen up during the day. It has Red Ginseng and No7’s own Tri-vit complex in the ingredients that make it perfect for makeup removal too. I applied a couple of pumps of the micellar water onto a cotton pad and held it over each eye for a minute or so to dissolve my mascara, it took a couple of swipes before it was completely removed, it didn’t sting my eyes, and my lashes felt soft. It also did a great job at removing my face makeup, again without my skin stinging and without my face being left dry and tight. Afterward, my skin looks clean and bright and glowing, just what I want! (I then go in for a second cleanse, with a lotion, balm or oil cleanser) This micellar water is suitable for eyes, face, and lips and is totally unperfumed making it great if you have sensitive skin. 

You can check out this and lots of other wonderful products from No7 HERE.

Creightons H2O Boost Hyaluronic Hot Cloth Cleanser With Muslin Cloth

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

An absolutely lovely hot cloth cleanser that’s not only kind to my skin but kind to my purse too! This is the Creightons H20 Boost Hyaluronic Hot Cloth Cleanser and it includes the muslin cloth. This isn’t an AD nor was the product gifted to me, I purchased this myself.

There’s sustainably sourced marine algae extract to help maintain the skins elasticity and Hyaluronic acid to hold in the moisture within this fabulous cleanser. It’s thick and creamy when squeezed from the huge 200ml tube. It also smells pretty beautiful too. When massaged into the skin it melts away my makeup (FYI, I don’t use it over my eyes to remove eye make, I prefer a separate eye makeup remover) As the first step in my double cleansing, it’s been wonderful. I remove the cleanser with the muslin cloth included, this gives my skin exfoliation to help get rid of dead skin cells for a brighter complexion. With the hyaluronic acid within, my skin never feels dry and tight after cleansing, it feels very fresh clean and soft with a radiant glow. 

Creightons H2O Boost Hyaluronic Hot Cloth Cleanser is cruelty-free, vegan-friendly and contains natural extracts, and there are 6 products in this range alone. But you can find so much more too on the website HERE.

See you again soon.

Boots Skincare Haul…No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Cleansing Trio.

Hey, there my lovelies, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

I did a small online shop a few weeks ago on the Boots website, and I chose the No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Trio. Included in the trio are Revitalising Foaming Cleanser, Daily Face Polish and the Toning Water.

Let me start from the left side of the pic. This is the Radiant Results Revitalising Foaming Cleanser. I’ve only used one other foaming cleanser before and it left my skin feeling so dry afterward. This one, however, did not leave my face feeling tight and dry after using it. It contains No7’s own Tri-Vit Complex Vitamins C and E and B5 and Red Ginseng which helps the skin to look and feel cleansed, soft and revitalized. Just like it says on the bottle!

I have been using the foaming cleanser first thing in the morning, it really helps to set me up for the day with its lovely refreshing smell. I use just one pump of the cleanser which once applied onto the skin becomes cream like which I massage over my face. I then take it off as normal with a muslin cloth or flannel/facecloth. It really does leave my face clean soft and radiant looking. To be honest, I haven’t used the foaming face cleanser to remove my makeup yet, so I can’t comment on that. But I shall give it ago and get back with my thoughts. But as daily morning face cleanser this is a beaut!

Next up I have the Revitalising Toning Water. Oh my goodness this is rather lovely! It’s so refreshing and cooling to use right after cleansing. It contains Red Ginseng and the triple vitamins C, E and B5. It’s really helped my skin to look more radiant, toned and the large pores on my cheeks appear to be minimalized too. I’ve done away with using Glycolic toners for a while until I’ve used this up. I really am preferring the way my skin looks with this toning water.  Yes, I’m still using an exfoliating product a couple times a week, see the next product. 

The last of the Boots No7 cleansing trio I have is the glorious Daily Face Polish. While it states that it’s gentle enough to use every day, I don’t. As a woman of nearly 60, I choose to exfoliate my skin just 3 times a week otherwise I do become too dry, and dehydrated. 3 Times a week is working just fine for me. When I use this face polish I massage it gently over my face and neck and remove it with a cloth. It’s got those lovely vitamins C E and B5 and also red Ginseng once again. It smells amazing and afterwards, I have a real glow to my face. My skin doesn’t feel dry and tight, just so refreshed and soft, and all ready for my moisturisers afterwards. 

The No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Cleansing Trio really is great value for money, I’ve got a backup waiting in my “shopping basket” ready for me to checkout. You can find it HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading today.

Boots No7 Haul

Hello lovelies, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty.

I did a bit of online shopping on the BootsUK website, I did pick it up in-store which I love doing. I wanted one of the skincare bundles and they were available only via the website, and also at the time of order, they had a 3 for 2 on selected No7 products. I thought that I would share with you what I picked up.

 I got myself the No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Cleansing Trio, which included the Foaming Cleanser, Daily Face Polish and the Toning Water. All the products together amount to £26.50 when bought separately but as a bundle, it was just £15. I also picked up the Radiant Results Cleansing Balm, at £13. The No7 Lash Impact Lash Serum is £16, so my cleansing balm being the cheapest item was FREE! I do love 3 for 2 offers, don’t you? 

I will, of course, be writing reviews of all the products. The eyelash serum I have started using every night and it’s stated I should see a difference in 8 weeks. I’ll keep you posted. I do have a review of the Cleansing Balm that I bought previously HERE. I definitely recommend the Order online and collect from your local store. It’s free when you spend over £10, and I also chose the day to pick it up too. Boots will take your mobile number and will send you a text when your order is ready for collection. It’s a great service.

I haven’t been gifted anything or paid to write this, I was just sharing with you how happy I am with the products I purchased and the great service I received as well. Check out Boots 3 for 2 offers HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by today.
