What should I treat myself to from Boots?

I got some money for my birthday and I feel like an instant treat so I'm going to Boots tomorrow, what shall I buy budget around £50. I don't need skincare unless it's a specialist treatment, or a wonder anti aging product. , I thought about a primer as I've never really got on with them and keep thinking there must be a good one out there. I'm 60 with normal skin. OK for make up but anything that will miraculously turn me into a 40yr old ill gladly try.

Don't spend £50 on primer.

Fancy eyeshadow? A nice mascara? Bubble bath? A nice face cream?

I didn't necessarily mean to spend all on one thing. Had a bit of a crap birthday so could do with a miracle product to make me feel better. (I know this doesn't exist, but I live in hope!!!)

I had a tester of the Smashbox Vitamin C primer and really liked it. It gives a nice glow even without foundation.

But I generally use Embryolisse, which isn't strictly a primer, but works well for me. It doubles as an overnight mask and pretty much everything else!

Both are normally available cheaper at other stores though. I find Boots to be expensive.
