Boots Trio

I was in boots looking at the skincare section trying to spot a new exfoliater when I came across these bad boys. The Boots essentials cucumber skincare range.

I firstly picked up the face wipes because you can never have enough and considering they were £1.50,  I think it was a bargain. The first thing I noticed was that they smell great! They smell so realistically like cucumber and it's such a fresh scent that really refreshes your skin. They are good for what they do and are also quite durable.

I then came across the gel make-up remover. Now I don't quite know what I was expecting from this product other than for it to take off my make-up however I came away quite disappointed. It takes quite a lot of the gel to fully remove your eye make-up especially if you have quite a lot on, however you can't use too much at once otherwise it goes everywhere and oozes off the cotton pad. I found myself using pad after pad (which is quite a waste) and still not getting anywhere, other than spreading the make-up around my face and giving myself panda eyes. I would not recommend this very highly and will definitely not be repurchasing this.

I picked this little pot up to try out because i have only been using one moisturiser at the moment and thought it was about time I experimented with some different brands; and with amazing luck I have discovered a little gem straight away. For £1.50 I am definitely going to buy this again. When I first went to try this out I was a bit unsure as it has quite a thick texture and seems to be quite gloopy; also once you put it on your skin it seems like it will take forever to soak in, however, as I quickly found out, it soaks in nicely! You don't need to use much and you should massage it in quite thoroughly, making sure not to leave layers of it on, but after that it soaks in and also makes your skin feel plumper (which is an added benefit). The fresh cucumber smell is so refreshing and I'm sure this tub will last for a very long time. 

Overall the Boots essentials have won my praise and, for their prices, are great products for a budget.
