Love Island Winner Millie Court Discusses Top 10 Festival Must-Haves This Summer

Thursday 16 June, UK: Love Island star Millie Court has teamed up with Boots to reveal her top ten must-haves ahead of festival season, as the UK prepares for a restriction-free summer for the first time in two years.

Millie paid a visit to Boots’ flagship London store in Covent Garden to get expert advice on travel, beauty and healthcare essentials which can be overlooked when packing your festival bags. Ahead of Glastonbury next week, Millie outlined the following items as must-haves:

1. Sunscreen
2. Biodegradable Glitter
3. Travel size deodorant
4. Biodegradable wipes
5. Energy vitamin tablets
6. Makeup setting spray
7. Dry shampoo
8. First aid kit
9. Sleep / eye mask
10. Portable phone charger  

Millie, Love Island 2021 Winner, said:

“Festival season is officially back, and I am so excited. It means bold make up looks and statement outfits which I cannot wait for, but I am definitely guilty of getting over excited about all that and forgetting some of the essentials. Luckily, Boots were on hand to help me pick up my entire festival shop from toiletries to health essentials and of course my favourite beauty bits”.

Boots Pharmacist Laura Stratton added:

“People like to pack light when they are going to festivals, so keeping to a focused list of items is important, you don’t want to forget the essentials! Festival-goers should ensure they stay hydrated, avoid heatstroke, are prepared for any small incidents and keep their bodies healthy to fully enjoy their time away."

With the rise in costs across the UK, Boots is also helping customers with their pre-festival shop by offering amazing value with thousands of essentials priced at £2 or less. As well as great summer deals, Boots Advantage Card holders can also get even more money off on selected products when they present their card at the checkout and Boots also confirmed they are freezing the price on over 1,500 products until the end of the year.

Steve Ager, Chief Commercial Officer at Boots, commented:

“Boots wants to help everyone to make the most of this summer, whatever their plans, whether its summer holidays, festivals, weddings or day trips in the UK. To help customers to still get out there and enjoy the summer months, despite the cost challenges many of us are facing, we have thousands of promotions across even more categories, with amazing deals on exciting new brands and must have summer essentials.”
