You don't have to spend a lot to get that Casa Amor look - and these under £25 products, all available from Boots, prove it!

Casa Amor is back on our screens, people! What might just be our favourite week of summer TV has returned, igniting a whirlwind of explosive drama and introducing a fresh batch of stunning bombshell contestants to the villa with it. While of course their sizzling love triangles (and stunned expressions at the reunion) will eventually steal the limelight, let’s not forget one of the big reasons this new wave of troublemakers will also have been hand-picked: their flawless looks. The Casa Amor contestants are renowned for their impeccable grooming and picture-perfect appearances, leaving us wondering how we can achieve that bombshell allure at home. Reality check, plenty of these contestants will have sought out additional beauty support and cosmetic enhancements in advance of heading through those villa doors. But, all is not lost – because here’s a little secret: you don't need to spend a fortune to achieve their enviable villa glam. Contestants in the Love Island villa have a secret weapon at their disposal for getting ready this year, and it's none other than Boots, the high street destination for affordable beauty essentials.

Boots has generously stocked the villa with an array of amazing products from well-loved brands. From skincare saviours to makeup must-haves, there's a plethora of affordable beauty buys available for under £25. So, even if you're not basking in the Mallorcan sun, you can still channel your inner Islander and embrace their budget-friendly beauty secrets.

For radiant, sun-kissed skin, when they’re not sitting around poolside wearing their favourite Soltan SPF the contestants swear by trusted Rimmel bronzing powders and Fenty highlighters. Achieve that coveted glow without the hefty price tag – or the hassle of hopping on an EasyJet.

Next time you spot the Islanders getting ready for a hot date or a dumping around the fire pit, take a look at the extensive collection of lipsticks, mascaras, and eyeshadows sat out ready on their glam stations. You’ll spot the likes of MAC, Huda, as well as Boots own No7, so you you too can create those alluring, camera-ready eyes and pouty lips without denting your bank account. Honestly, discovering that the sparkly 17 eyeshadow palette cost a mere £5 shocked us even more than seeing Molly go back into the villa!
