I have to share this amazing foundation/BB cream

166 replies

Mosschops30 · 25/08/2013 23:27

It's actually BB cream but as I'm old fashioned and don't really know what that is I'm just calling it foundation.

Found it by accident mooching round boots.

It's the botanics radiant youth BB cream. God it's truly amazing, makes my skin look dewy and youthful, I'm pale but think the medium looks better. I'm amazed that at 10pm at night it looks as great as at 10am in themorning.

After years of buying YSL and more recently that Estée Lauder shite that makes me look like a corpse I am over the moon to find one like this an £8 for 50ml

Bought some yesterday plus cleanser and face wash. It all smells gorgeous. Moss chops has definitely started a trend!

valiumredhead · 05/09/2013 08:31

I'm off into town today so will buy the cleanser while I'm there

VillaVillekulla · 05/09/2013 08:39

I've been using this for a few weeks now and agree it's the best BB cream I've tried. I got some for my mum too. I'm using medium even though I'm quite pale and would usually go for fair shades.

I was using Dr Jart but I think I prefer this. Dr Jart is a bit ghostly white.

VillaVillekulla · 05/09/2013 08:39

The cleansing balm and cloth is also brilliant.

ExcuseTypos · 05/09/2013 08:40

I've not tried the BB cream but have just started using the Botanics cleansing balm and moisturiser, after being very loyal to Liz Earle for years.

I love the Botanics, does the same job as the LE, smells nicer, has a lot of organic ingredients in it and is about half the price. What's not to like?

JustBecauseICan · 05/09/2013 11:04

Ooooh, I was going to ask how the rest of the range shapes up- I am another Liz Earle HC user, but might try the Botanics one now!

valiumredhead · 05/09/2013 16:03

I bought the scrub, moisturiser and cleansing cream. Everything was on offer. Will report back later!

valiumredhead · 05/09/2013 16:04

Is the balm in a jar/tub? I couldn't find that one.

ExcuseTypos · 05/09/2013 16:22

Valium it's in a tub, which in the shop is inside a box.

It's called Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm. It's 97% organic and is on offer at the moment.

valiumredhead · 05/09/2013 16:59

Ok, thank you, that definitely want in our small boots, will look for it in a bigger one. I got the cream cleanser which I'll take off with a muslin cloth

valiumredhead · 05/09/2013 16:59

Wasn't

Mosschops30 · 05/09/2013 21:02

Is the cleansing balm part of the radiant youth stuff or is it different?

How many botanics ranges are there? Will need to do more shopping

valiumredhead · 05/09/2013 23:07

So the scrub was fantastic, my skin is soooooooo sensitive and it was fine.

I am wearing the moisturiser, it's good but I think I prefer the super drug Liz Earle rip off one.

ExcuseTypos · 05/09/2013 23:29

Moss, no it isn't part of that radiant youth range. The packaging is very plain and it just says the name on it.

All the different ranges are confusing arent they?

If you just look for something that says 'organic' on it you should be able to find it.

Snoozy1 · 06/09/2013 10:07

Can you buy this online? I can't seem to find it on the Boots website.

whats4teamum · 06/09/2013 12:23

I bought some lidl bb cream yesterday and it is amazing. Only £1.99.

ExcuseTypos · 06/09/2013 14:23

www.boots.com/en/Botanics/Botanics-Facial-skin-care/

This link should take you to the Boots Botanics range page.

There are actually 6 ranges. No wonder we're all confused.

The cleansing beauty balm is part of the Organic Range.

Mosschops30 · 06/09/2013 14:43

Great will have a look when I go next, I only have the BB, day cream and serum need more

OP posts:

JustBecauseICan · 06/09/2013 19:05

I got the balm today.

What is this superdrug rip off Liz Earle moisturiser of which you speak please?

JustBecauseICan · 06/09/2013 19:06

(As I was paying for the balm I was giving the assistant a little sneaky grin and expecting her to say "mumsnet I presume?" and I was a tad disappointed when she didn't.....)

valiumredhead · 06/09/2013 19:49

There's a thread in style and beauty, I'll see if I can find it...

valiumredhead · 06/09/2013 19:53

Oh thankyou!

valiumredhead · 06/09/2013 20:00

You'll never buy Liz Earle again

JustBecauseICan · 06/09/2013 21:19

Just had a read, am off to superdrug tomorrow! It is next door to specsavers which is where dd has an appointment anyway. I love oils so will prob come back with the vit E one. (and the cream, am finishing a pot of super £££s Occitane Divine cream which was v nice, but not sure it was worth the £69 )
