That's right, it's officially time to play the Love Island theme tune, as Love Island All Stars has returned to our TV screens this week, and I know I'm officially already hooked. After watching last year's All Stars be a season of drama, crazy re-couplings and cute romances, season two is already off to a jaw-dropping start. But one thing I also love is taking inspiration from the girls' Love Island outfits, bikinis, as well as the beauty favourites they use to look flawless in that South African heat.
From extensive skincare routines to high street makeup, last year we found all of the products that the girls used in the villa, sent to them by their official partner Boots UK. And this year, we're doing the same. From cult classics such as the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream and Benefit Hoola Bronzer to Boots' own skincare, we've already noticed that the Love Island villa is stocked with some of the best beauty favourites to keep the islanders looking good and smelling delicious.
So if you want to know the low-down on what the All Stars Love Islanders are using on a daily basis in the villa, we've already starting compiling a list of the products that we've spotted the islanders using in the villa, including Ekin-Su bombshell makeup look. However, don't forget you can also shop all of the goodies in the Love Island villa on the Boots website this year too.

Wonderskin/ AmazonWe spotted Elma using the Wonderskin Lip Tint in the Villa last night, and we're not surprised. This viral lip stain took the internet by storm, and it's the perfect choice for long-lasting results that'll survive the South African heat.

Ekin-Su previously revealed to us she uses BPerfect Radiant Glow, and we've spotted it still in use in the makeup room this season. "Make-up-wise, I love BPerfect Radiant Glow, it's all I need. If you're on holiday, you can just wear Radiant Glow. In the winter, I use the RadiantGlow underneath a foundation just for a bit of extra coverage. You can also use it on your lips, you can use it on your body, you can do so much."

We spotted Miss Gabby Allen using this staple mascara from Rimmel. While we've all owned a Rimmel mascara before, this one is top tier, and is all you need for voluminous lashes. Plus, it's under £10.

Returning to the villa for another year running, the secret to all the girl's makeup staying in place in the heat is this brilliant primer from Milk Makeup. Promising a dewy glow and no makeup meltdowns, islanders including Ekin-Su used this for her dazzling bombshell makeup look.

If you're looking for a trusty setting spray, then you will meet your match with this Urban Decay one. We've noticed all the girls using it every morning before hitting the day beds.

Everyone needs a good bronzer in their makeup bag, and the girls' favourite this year is the cult Benefit Hoola Bronzer. You can also buy the bronzer in lite, caramel, original and toasted. Ekin-Su also used this bronzer on her first night in the villa.

Of course, this skincare icon has been spotted in the villa. Whether your skin is suffering the effects of a day spent relaxing in the sun, Skin Food has your back. Get super plump, moisturised skin in seconds.
Sol de Janeirowww.boots.com
If there's one product that reminds us of a summer holiday, it's this dreamy body moisturiser from Sol de Janeiro. The addictive salted caramel and pistachio scent leaves you smelling amazing whilst the whipped formula gets to work treating any dryness - the perfect product to get the girls ready for a day in the villa.
Whether you’re keeping up with previous contestants or not, you have to admit that the girls are partial to a bit of glam. We mean, aren’t we all? Here are all the beauty faves that ex-Islanders have raved about over the years.

Olivia Attwood appeared on Love Island in 2017 and works with ISAWITFIRST. A big fan of self-care, Olivia swears by beauty products to get you by and feel better.

2 of 13Amber Gill – CeraVe Hyrating Cream/Foam Cleanser
2019 Amber Gill's win may have come as a surprise for her, but certainly not for us. Though she parted with Greg O'Shea shortly after the show, Amber has managed to stay in the limelight. Amber is a big fan of CeraVe and its Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser. "For cleansers, surprisingly I just like CeraVe, it's quite a cheap brand, but the ingredients are so minimal and it's just so nice for your skin." We couldn't agree more, Amber.

3 of 13Millie Court - Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Millie has been on a roll ever since she left the villa in 2022. From her impeccable dress sense to flawless make-up to her keyboard skills (anyone remember?), Millie always impresses. Millie shared her make-up routine with us and recommended Maybelline's mascara. Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara is stellar and was a favourite in the villa.

Sharon, who appeared in the 2021 Love Island series, wowed us with her humour, outspoken personality and great values about worldly matters. She shared her self-care routine with heat and admitted to nabbing a few items back from the villa. This included the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, which is fab.
5 of 13Kaz Kamwi - No7 HydraLuminous Day Lotion SPF 15
Kaz Kamwi graced our screens in the 2021 Love Island season and came in fourth with Tyler Cruickshank. She shared her beauty routine with heat and recommended this daily lotion from No7.

Season six contestant, Demi Jones, left the villa in third place alongside then-boyfriend Luke Mabbott. Following their split, Demi opened up to heat about make-up."I love the Maybelline Fit Me Setting Powder, it's literally like five or six pounds and it's just amazing. It sets my make-up in place all day."

7 of 13Molly Mae Hague/Chloe Burrows - Weleda Skin Food
Love Island girls Molly-Mae Hague and Chloe Burrows apparently can't be without Weleda's Skin Food. Chloe spoke out about the product, "This is so hydrating, nearly everywhere I work [as a model] uses this on me, it must be the best thing to use." Honestly, sounds like she's got a point. So many other people in the industry swear by this Weleda product, even Posh Spice herself.

8 of 13Mary Bedford/Clarisse Juliette – Hourglass Vanish Stick
Clarisse Juliette and Mary Bedford stunned viewers and Islanders alike during Casa Amor, where they attracted the attention of Tyler and Toby. These girls are now besties and even bonded in the villa over this product. What are the chances that they used the same foundation? Both of them swear by the Hourglass Vanish Stick.
9 of 13Belle Hassan – Garnier Hair Food Mask
Season five contestant Belle loves the Garner hair masks. She told heat, "I love the Garnier Hair Food masks, they've really helped to grow my hair so much. All the Garnier ones are insane. I've literally tried all of them, I love them."

11 of 13Lucinda Strafford – Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation
Lucinda's Love Island journey was a whirlwind and it's great to know that her time in the villa was backed up by some great foundation by Dior. Lucinda used to be a firm fan of the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation, £38, but when it didn't arrive on time for Love Island, she fell for the Dior one.
12 of 13Faye Winter – Fenty Beauty Hydrating Foundation
Faye Winter appeared on Love Island in 2021, becoming a divisive figure in the Love Island viewership. Known for her loud personality, extreme loyalty and brown lipstick, the Devonshire lass was a stand-out last year, coming third with then-boyfriend Teddy Soares. When creating her flawless Pride of Britain Awards look, her make-up artist opted for Fenty for her foundation.
13 of 13Sophie Piper – Bobbi Brown Concealer
Sophie Piper, who is Rochelle Humes' little sister, rose to fame on the winter edition of Love Island. Though she left halfway through the series, Sophie is a successful model and influencer for Pretty Little Thing, Boux Avenue and JD Sports. Soph also swears by Bobbi Brown's concealer.
