P.Louise, the beauty brand founded by professional make-up artist and social sensation Paige Louise Williams, is launching at Boots to bring the range to the high street for the very first time. After a meteoric rise since its inception in [2014], P.Louise is now widely recognised as one of the UK’s most successful beauty brands, known for its bold colour, viral icons and record-breaking TikTok Shop Live sessions. From 29 May, brand fans will be able to shop the range in 36 Boots stores across the UK and online at boots.com.
The P.Louise x Boots partnership will see a series of first-evers for the retailer as part of an exciting and innovative launch plan. Paige Williams and the P.Louise team will be personally training the crew of Boots Beauty Specialists on the brand, in a first for Boots. The training demonstrates Paige’s dedication to customer experience and will see her share brand knowledge, product details and extensive application know-how with the team, ensuring they are brilliantly equipped to create memorable moments and provide expert advice to customers in store.
In Boots stores, customers will be able to experience the brand IRL like never before. They can touch, test, swatch and play at the specially designed displays, while some of the largest Boots stores are becoming home to a fully immersive ‘shop in shop’ concept. These areas – designed to bring the P.Louise Empire experience directly to the high street – will offer themed events, beauty masterclasses and pick n mix product areas, to help brand enthusiasts get closer than ever to the brand they love.
The extensive range is made up of over 200 lines spanning cosmetics and skincare, including hero products Rumour Base, Cheek of It Liquid Blush and Spoilt for Choice Cream Bronzer. Additionally, Boots will be home to six exclusive lines that have been created especially for the retailer, including P.Louise x Boots Bad B*tch Crystal Energy Lip Duo – Blue Raspberry & White Chocolate, P.Louise x Boots the Brow Balm and P.Louise x Boots the Sky’s The Limit Drinking Cup.
A specially branded page has been created on boots.com for digital shoppers offering newly created page navigation, brand inspiration and product links. Customers can also shop the full range via on demand delivery through Uber Eats from 31 stores, meaning that brand fans can access their favourite products in as little as 30 minutes.
Paige Louise, founder of P.Louise, comments: “I’ve had many opportunities to go into retail before, and I’ve always turned them down. For me, it was never about putting products on a shelf but about what we could create for our community when they walked through the door. Together with Boots we’ve been able to build something that feels nothing like traditional retail – with masterclasses and immersive shop-in-shop spaces. Everything I’ve built has been for this community – they showed up for me from nothing, and I’ve always promised I’d find bigger and better ways to show up for them.”
Alice Rafferty, director of luxury beauty and vosmetics at Boots, comments: “We are incredibly excited to be the exclusive high street partner to P.Louise and to welcome the brand into the Boots family. This is a brand that truly understand the modern beauty consumer, utilising the power of platforms such as TikTok to create genuine excitement and demand. Its launch reinforces Boots as the ultimate destination for the most sought-after and trending beauty brands.
“Introducing such a dynamic, social-first brand has really encouraged us to take a new and innovative approach to our launch plans. We’ve really pushed the boundaries and introduced some first-evers, from the Covent Garden store being turned into a pink castle on launch day to a branded sparkly art iculated lorry transporting the range across the UK, P.Louise pink is taking over Boots!”
With the range launching at Boots on 29 May, customers don’t have long to wait to be able to shop the range on the high street. In the meantime, they can sign up to a waitlist from 15 May for exclusive early access and the chance to win a selection of prizes, including the opportunity to meet Paige herself.
The launch of P.Louise marks the latest milestone in Boots’ accelerated beauty transformation, as the retailer continues to redefine beauty on the UK high street. Boots now offers over 500 beauty brands across stores and online, with almost 60 new and trending names added in the last year.
