Life

50 years of beauty

IN 1966, the year that David Jones became Bowie and mini-skirts were at the height of fashion, Boots opened its first store in Northern Ireland.

Products that were popular in the 60s include the No7 lipstick range; Gay Geranium was a favourite colour that women flocked to buy, and is still available in the No7 range today. Other retro products still available include J Smith’s Cremolia wonder cream, Boots Traditional Cold Cream and the 365 Fresh ‘n’ Up pads are now known as Boots Essentials Face Wipes.

The brand has brought a huge range of innovative products to the market through its beauty and skincare collections, such as its ground breaking Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum, the UK’s first serum clinically proven to deliver anti-wrinkle results that get even better over time.

Celebrating it's anniversary with sparkle, a special edition No7 Lash Impact Gold mascara has been created for a limited time. Available in a sparkling gold pack, it gives great volume in one coat, and an amplified false lash effect in two coats without clumping.
