Everyone and their mother has either heard or used the Boots Botanics Radiance Balm, but have you tried out anything else from the range? I have been a fan of the Shine Away Clay Mask for years and I have even compared this to the Glam Glow SuperMud mask, it’s that good! When the Radiance Balm became the talk on everyone’s lips, I knew this was a range that would be interesting to explore more.
The “All Bright” Range contains Hibiscus which is a natures brightness booster and also gives the products that hue of pink. The flower also acts as a mild exfoliator due to the natural AHA’s which leave the skin smoother and brighter and all the products are really affordable. There is also a really good men’s skin care range too!!
All Bright Hydrating Day Cream
I honestly think that this is the hidden gem of the whole range, I absolutely love it and recommend it to anyone who will listen. I purchased this when they were doing the half price offers so it cost me €2.99, eh hello bargain?? I’m currently using this everyday and I’m half-way through the pot. This contains SPF15 and Hyaluronic Acid which is a total plus in any day moisturiser for me. If I’m having a “no makeup day”, my skin looks so awake and luminous after lashing this stuff on! As with the Balm, it will also give a gorgeous subtle glow under makeup.
It’s a liquid cream so it’s quite gloopy in consistency, but just sinks into your skin so beautifully. I also use down my neck and chest for added radiance all over. For oiler skin types, I probably would stay away but for normal to dry, you will love it!
All Bright Instant Moisture Mist
When I bought this I actually thought it was a facial mist, but in fact it’s a body moisturiser in spray form. It works a treat so I wasn’t disappointed and have actually been reaching for this a lot! Quite similiar to the Nivea Body sprays that are around, this does the same thing, but smells divine! It gives your skin a beautiful sheen so I love using it over my shoulders and arms when I have tan on, so it’s perfect to use on a night out. As an all-round body moisturiser though it’s really good and dries into the skin almost instantly and no greasy residue. This was purchased again at half price so only cost €2.99.
All Bright Radiance Balm
The product that sold this range for me. There are hundreds of rave reviews about this product online and I can really see why. I find no difference between using this and MAC Strobe Cream only the consistency is a little different. For the price difference, I can live with that! A must for drier skinned folk to give radiance and life to the skin, use under foundation or mix it in with it. I tend not to use this as much since I got the Day Cream as it does the same job and leaves out an extra step when I’m rushing in the mornings.
If you haven’t tried any of the Botanics range, I’d highly recommend you have a look the next time your in Boots. They usually have half price offers every few weeks, and the perfect time to try out some of their stuff. On my next trip to I’m going to pick up the Micellar Water and Facial Oil from the Organic Range – both are meant to be fantastic!
Have you found the love for Boots Botanics? Thanks for reading!








I tried the night cream and tonner from this range and really liked it. I also love the Rose water mist from the Organic line. And the Shine Away mask is great, I agree! There are some fantastic products in the Boots Botanics range. x

Yes you really need to pick up the Radiance Balm. Only €4 at the moment!!!
Brilliant post & I love your photographs here! I’ve only tried the radiance balm, it took me a while to get to grips with it but I do really like it now, especially mixed with my Catrice foundation, really lifts it!
Thanks Sharon. Took me a while to get to grips with too, but with some foundation it mixes really well and makes such a difference!
I have to try that balm everybody is raving about it!
I haven’t had the best experience with the Botanics range.. but I must admit that Radiance Balm does sound good! x
