Boots Botanics – New Packaging and New Products

I picked up my eye make up remover of choice a few weeks ago in Boots, and was a bit taken aback by its new appearance. Gone is the plain, safe design of the Boots Botanics range, and instead I was greeted by a funkier, vibrant look.

The entire range has seen a revamp and new products and ranges have also been introduced after a collaborating with Royal Botanic Gardens, kew.

Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up remover, in my opinion, is a cheaper version of Lancome’s famed Bi-Facil, both having the same oily feeling consistency and both removing my eye make up quickly, without irritation. However, I know which purchase leaves me with more change in my wallet, so it’s a no-brainer why the Botanics version has been repurchased repeatedly.

The new Soothing  Hand Cream is pretty much what you’d expect from a hand cream. It moisturises well, doesn’t leave my hands feeling overly greasy and erm yeah..it’s just a standard hand cream, I guess. It doesn’t particularly excite me but will provide relief for those who have trouble with dry skin.

I’ve read a few tweets praising the Botanics Radiant Youth Microdermabrasion Polish and as Boots are running their popular 3 for 2 offer, I’m going to try and pick this up during the week. Have any of you tried it?
