I have never ordered any of my beauty essentials on an online chemist before…I normally buy from the supermarket or from Boots / Superdrug but when I was contacted by Chemist.co.uk I was so excited to be able to get all I need at the click of a button which was affordable and targeted at the essential needs I had.
They offered me the opportunity to order a few bits with a voucher and I was happy to give it a try.
This is what the website looks like this:
I like the layout of the website – makes it easy to search what I am looking for by choosing from the tabs along the top but also has a clear search bar if you need to find something instantly.
I got the following items:
Body Puffs
We go through these so much…mainly as my hair gets caught in them and ruins them…it’s a curly thing.
Razors and blades
Blade Refills are usually so expensive but they were quite inexpensive on this site. We have a gillette each so share blades but also need disposables for trips away.
Toothbrushes
We needed new toothbrushes and these were really inexpensive and so far these have been an absolute winner for us – so much so we’re trying to get some more
Johnson Cotton Buds
These are some of the best cotton buds. We use them for so much. For me it’s mainly cleaning up eyeliner mistakes or smudging nail polish.
Buscopan
It was so good to see these on offer and I always need to have these on me. I get terrible IBS when stressed and although I can keep the attack at bay at home when I am not at home it really helps me to avoid bad attack.
Face cleansing products
Simple cleansing wipes were on such a special offer that I couldn’t not get them. I love the Johnson’s one but I can’t find it at a cheap price but my second favourite is the Simple wipes.
I have been dying to try the St Ives scrub too so was pleased to see this at an affordable price so had to get my hands on this. A review will come soon I am sure.
Lip balm and hand cream
It’s the time of year that we all tend to suffer with dryness. The Dr Paw Paw acts as a multipurpose balm which I love and it’s such a large tube. I also really was happy to see the overnight handream from E45 as this is the time of year my wrist usually flares up.
Hair bands
I always need them, I can buy a thousand in one month and still have a grubby one from years ago left in my box. WHERE DO THEY GO?
and finally, a beauty product caught my eye
The LA Girl Concealer in Toast
I thought this would be a great time to try the darker concealer as a cream contour.
It is slightly warmer but I would still like to try it and they had it at the best price I have ever seen it.
I received my order within 48 hours of submitting the order and it was packaged really well.
I would definitely recommend using this website if you are searching for your beauty / care essentials!
Have you ever used an online chemist before? Have you used chemist.co.uk before?
There’s so much on Chemist, I like your choices. St Ives are a great brand. I just got a face scrub by them, so great x
What a great way to get all everything you need so conveniently and quickly. The Dr. Pawpaw looks like something I need to try this time of year, and I totally agree about the hair bands! Where on earth do they all go? It seems they disappear so quickly and easily!
I have not heard of this before, but what a great idea, I use those tablets for IBS as well always have them to hand x
Oh man I can’t wait til they make razors that don’t seem to need replacing on a weekly basis!
Such a great idea! Like you, I’ve never thought of buying those essentials online but there are so much more choice and the prices are so good, I might have to start doing that!
I have bought from Chemist.co.uk before but it was a while a gao now. You can never have too many body puffs, I am always buying them
I have never heard of them before but I love the idea as the chemists sell so many great things and often have bargains on offer so will have to check this out for myself
I’ve never bought from an online chemist before but I would definitely look into it now I’ve seen your post. I adore the Dr Paw Paw balm and I also know exactly how you feel with the body puff #CurlyHairProblems
I always forget the essentials – cue a big ‘ol panic when I realise my razor’s blunt and I have no replacement! I’ve never bought from Chemist.co.uk but looks like they’re great for getting hold of everything you need in the bathroom!
Such a good selection of products and so nice that you can buy them all in one place online x
You have just reminded me I need more cotton buds so this looks fab. Wipes are always on my list too.
I’ve not bought anything from Chemist.co.uk before but it looks like a great site with a fab selection of products x
I love the things you’ve bought, especially the Simple face care wipes and the pawpaw lipbalm, It’s good to know that you can find cheaper blades on this website, they are usually so expensive in the shop.
Ooh wow you got a great selection of products, I never even think to look at chemist direct you know x
Looks like a fab and useful idea for a website.
I have been considering buying my essentials online recently as I am so busy I don’t have much time to look around the supermarkets. I will keep these guys in mind when I do.
Though I have heard of the chemist website I have not actually bought anything from them before. Now I can buy even more beauty products from the comfort of my own home.
How convenient to get all your cosmetics / beauty stuff on line and having them delivered.
These essentials are certainly on my list! I really don’t get chance to shop much of late so this is great!
This is such a great idea, I never thought to buy things like this online! xo
I love this website too, so much choice and I had a load of free samples in the box too.
Wow I haven’t heard of this website before and I love the fact that you can order pretty much everything without going to your local chemist. I will definitely be checking these out more as I think some of the prices are pretty amazing. Thanks for the tip honey x
Nice!! Ive not heard of Essentials Chemist before.
Love getting bits nice and easy especially now that I’m pregnant – Thanks so much for this hun

Never heard of this site before but if you can get all your essentials within 48 hours then this sounds ideal! Will have to check it out to see if they’ve got anything I need!
I have never even heard of Chemist Direct before nor knew they existed, so this is something to bear in mind for the future!
That was a wonderful idea and I love the list of this products. Glad you share this
I love shopping at Chemist.co.uk for my beauty essentials. You picked up some great stuff too 🙂
