STELLAR’s Festival Essentials Ahead of Electric Picnic

Festival season is well and truly here – and with Electric Picnic right around the corner, you’re probably deep in your festival planning era.

Which acts will you see? Which campsite will you camp in? And of course, what will you pack?

Getting all of that packing done can be stressful. There’s always something you’re due to forget – your favourite lip gloss, a face mask, some toilet roll…

But never fear, because Boots is your go-to store for festival essentials this summer.

They’ve got absolutely everything you could ever need for Electric Picnic this year, from necessary beauty bits to gorgeous glam to energising hydration products.

… Which will definitely be needed when you wake up in your tent on day three with your face dry and your mouth totally parched.

Here are five products we will no doubt be packing for EP this year, straight from Boots.

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer

No festival glam is complete without a lip combo, and Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer is the perfect addition to your glitzy, glam this festival szn.

This gloss feels as good as it looks… and it looks pretty damn good.

Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer is all about creating an explosive shine sure to stop just about anyone in their tracks.

Swipe some product across your lips in the crowd, use the XXL wand to give your lips an instant smoother and fuller look before leaving the campsite, and pop the gloss in your bumbag for glam top ups throughout the day.

Sculpted by Aimee Hydra Tint

If the thought of smearing layers of foundation onto your face while knee deep in your campsite era doesn’t sound all that appealing, you’re going to need to get yourself a skin tint.

Sculpted By Aimee’s best selling tinted serum smooths, hydrates and evens the skin tone, all the while being super lightweight and beautifully buildable.

Enriched with hyaluronic acid for long-lasting moisture (which you will need in Stradbally), and SPF20 (which you will also need in Stradbally), HydraTint is a must for EP this year.

The Ordinary Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% Brightening Face Serum

Waking up after a night of dancing, you’ll be more than glad to have packed a little bottle of The Ordinary Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% Brightening Face Serum.

This Caffeine 3% and Escin 1% Face Serum helps to refresh tired-looking, dull skin by making it look like you got a whole lot more sleep than you actually did.

Caffeine helps to energise for a more well-rested appearance, while also promoting hydration and brighter-looking, radiant skin, while Escin – a group of molecules found in horse chestnut seed extract – contributes to the firming of the skin, while toning and tightening over time.

Berocca Hydrate Effervescent Tablets

We could all do with drinking a bit more water at festivals.

To ensure you’re staying hydrated, make sure you pack Berocca Hydrate in your bag!

Berocca Hydrate contains electrolytes and B Vitamins* to support energy release and help reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Your future self will thank you.
