Love Island returned to our screens this week with Brits up and down the country glued to the action in the villa from 9pm each night. And as well as a pre-loved wardrobe from eBay, the Islanders have been sent into the show with a haul of beauty products for the duration of their stay, courtesy of Boots.
Last year’s winner Millie Court has revealed the one beauty product dubbed a ‘villa staple’ after the girls would get through a ‘bottle a week’, as well as some of their must-haves that they wore on the show.
And one beauty buy was so popular that by the end of the series, Millie - who won the show with Liam Reardon - had completely run out.

Millie said: “One of the villa staples was the Fenty Gloss Bomb in the colour Fenty Glow. Me and the girls would literally go through a bottle of this a week, I’m not joking we were obsessed with it, and I now use it literally every single day.”
The Fenty Glow shade is described as ‘the unicorn of nudes that looks good on everyone’, with Rihanna saying she created it ‘because I wanted the girls to get kissed more’.
Other products Millie and the season seven girls loved were the HUDA eyeshadow palettes , which cost upwards of £27, or £21 with the Boots Price Advantage. Millie added: "We were obsessed with the HUDA eyeshadow palettes, because they were perfect for every look, and the Maybelline Lash Sensational was my favourite mascara”.
Boots has stocked the villa with even more treats this year, covering 13 different categories including beauty, suncare, skincare and grooming, as well as fragrance, dental, hair and nails. Also new to the villa this year are go-to cosmetic brands 17 and MakeUp Revolution, as well as Sculpted by Aimee , Boots Glow Banana and Boots Ingredients Haircare.
Millie added: “Last year by the end of the series I’d run out of fragrance in the villa, but I hear Boots is supplying this year’s islanders with all the fragrance they need – so lucky them!”
As the new Islanders hit our screens for the next eight weeks, Boots Beauty Specialist Leanna Zaman has shared the biggest beauty trend we can expect to see this series. “This summer’s go to trend is all about dewy, glazed donut-style skin and when it comes to skin it’s the base that counts,” she said.
“lazed skin is all about the fresh, glassy finish and it’s really easy to create. There are loads of different ways to achieve the look, whether you go for a dewy moisturiser like the Boots Glow Moisturising Cream or a strong highlighter like the Fenty Beauty Killawatt Highlighter – both will help you achieve the same finish.”
Millie has shared some of her top beauty picks in an exclusive Boots edit, including her favourite skincare, fragrance, suncream and lashes, which you can shop here.
