More Expensive Brands Get the Boots

Listen up, ladies. There’s no need to pay more for great skin care products. Your ticket to a more youthful complexion awaits you on the shelves at your neighborhood Target. Boots, top UK health and beauty retailer, has made its way overseas, and penny-pinching Target freaks everywhere (myself included) could not be more pleased to have its affordable, quality products readily available here in the US.

The first of two products from the No7 line I tried was the Restore and Renew Beauty Serum, famously sold out all over Britian for its radiance-restoring properies. No wonder they like it! It glides on smoothly, and leaves skin feeling supple and soft. It’s the perfect makeup primer, and it didn’t freak out my sensitive skin. And with the promise that my complexion will look renewed in just four weeks, I’ll gladly slick it on day and night to watch for the results. At just $19.99, what is not to love?

Second on the list was the Intensive Moisture Face Mask. I decided to try this product during what was a rigorous test of willpower in pursuit of health, and a lighter me: A liquids only fast. Nothing looked better than this dreamy, creamy whipped topping of a moisturizer, and denied the sensory experience of eating, slathering the lofty gel/cream on my skin was just as good as dessert – and it made me look betterafterwards, instead of wider. Worn as a mask, it did wonders. It softened up my face and left my skin positively dewy. Dewy! So nice, I started wearing smaller portions of it to bed every night as a PM moisturizer, over the Restore and Renew Serum, and I’m loving the results. I’m willing to bet you will too.
