Boots shoppers say 'radiant' £3 foundation has them ditching designer brands

Beauty enthusiasts have been left so impressed with the results of a cheap foundation from Boots that it has them ditching major brands such as YSL and Bourjois.

The high-street giant's £2.99 Natural Collection Hydrating and Radiance Foundation has went down a storm with beauty enthusiasts who have hailed it for leaving their skin "healthy and glowing".

Shoppers love the budget beauty buy that much that they say they have switched from high-end brands that would set you back up to around £30, meaning you could save £27 with the Boots beauty item.

A product description for the Boots £2.99 Natural Collection Hydrating and Radiance Foundation reads: "Our Hydrating and Radiance Foundation has been created with a lightweight formula that glides onto skin, giving you light coverage.

"Containing moisturising and luminescent properties that will help leave skin radiant, whilst feeling beautifully hydrated. An instant boost for tired or dull looking skin."

As reported by The Manchester Evening News, Boots shoppers can also purchase the £2.99 foundation individually, or as part of the retailer's buy one get one half price offer, which includes a range of different budget Natural Collection branded items.

Helpful shoppers have also recommended pairing the £2.99 Natural Collection Hydrating and Radiance Foundation with the Natural Collection Matte Pressed Powder to make it last even longer - which costs £1.99, or £1 if purchased as part of the retailer's offer.

Beauty enthusiasts have been left so impressed by the results of the foundation that they have flocked to the Boots website to leave it glowing five star reviews.

One five-star reviewer raved: "Makes my skin look so healthy and radiant! the foundation is very easy to apply and blend..looks like my skin but better! loving the new product relaunch and so affordable. i also like that its kind to my skin and has chamomile in."

Another said: "As Bourjois will soon not be able to buy in Ireland and uk soon the hunt was on for a new foundation! I read an article about this foundation and the reviews were brilliant, I currently use the Bourjois healthy mix serum in light beige and love the dewy moistuirising finish it gave my skin so needed something similar as I have extremely dry sensitive skin and get breakouts of excema! The price is fantastic and gave me the exact finish of Bourjois! The shade cameo is very similar the bourjois shade, extemely happy with this purchase and can say it's my new foundation! Long lasting with a dewy moisturising finish with great coverage!"

A third exclaimed: "I wanted a cheap foundation to wear day to day rather than using my more expensive foundation every day ! But now I wear this all the time, such a nice natural finish but still great coverage for blemishes. My skin looks glowing and it isn’t heavy at all! My fave foundation and such a good price too !!"

While a fourth added: "I used to use YSL but bought this in case I ran out and couldn't get YSL.I don't buy YSL now this because is so amazing It's like using moisturiser every day and I would agree totally that it's hydrating and makes skin radiant."
