This is a very recent purchase, I am a big fan of the Lancome foundations and Estee Launder’s, but this No 7 product was a revelation.
The texture was easy to work with and the coverage was light to medium. For a greater effect try using a powder like Bare Minerals or the Laura Geller Baked powder range to finish off.
There is no ingredient list on this product. I am guessing that I would have to go online for that to Boots.com/no7. However, as I recently sent an email to Boots asking about how Boots as a company assessed products and ingredients used in them, which has so far gone unanswered, I can’t say that I am that impressed. I think at the very least there should be some kind of leaflet at the point of sale. I am allergic or sensitive to lots of silicones and dimethicone products, so it would be nice to know what I am purchasing, or at the very least, taking a risk on.
But focusing on the positives, so far this has performed very nicely, but I have only worn it once. It is something I will keep in my kit to use again and on clients.
Ok, so curiosity got the better of me. I went online to Boots No 7 and found the product online, but still no ingredient list that I can find. Surely there are others out there who want to know just what they are putting on our faces? Even, if it is just a leaflet to discard. I guess I will just have to trust the powers that be on this one. I have to assume that Boots will adhere to all EU protocol.
It is just no good. Had to make a call to Boots and ask them. They are getting back to me. The man I spoke to confirmed there were no ingredients listed on the website. But as we were talking and I was looking at the product. I could see on the very tiny bar code label a “peel here” instruction. I peeled it carefully, but the whole label came off. I am guessing that, just with some medicinal products,this label is meant to separate and reveal ingredients. I am determined now to solve this mystery.
Tools required to get at ingredients
With the help of my husband, two pairs of pliers, and a knife, we managed to separate the label and reveal what appeared to be a microscopic list of ingredients So I guess this means that Boots do comply with EU law technically, but I am not so sure about the spirit of it.
