Whether you’re jetting off to a sun-drenched destination or simply want to give your spring skincare routine a bit of a boost, Millie Mackintosh’s holiday beauty routine is just the ticket. The former Made in Chelsea star was quizzed on Instagram about her “must have products for holiday”, and Millie kindly responded by sharing a link to her “summer skin essentials” on her LTK page.
Among the many fabulous items that made it onto Millie’s list, one product stood out – the Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50 Illuminating Super Glow Drops. Priced at £33, this lightweight SPF not only shields your skin from the sun, but also nourishes it and imparts a radiant glow, all in one go.

The Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50 Illuminating Super Glow Drops provide an impressive SPF50 coverage against the sun’s harmful rays. They offer broad spectrum protection, shielding you from both UVA and UVB, while also containing skin-loving ingredients to nourish your skin as you wear it.

Thanks to Ultra Violette’s signature weightless formula, these drops melt straight into your skin for effortless blending, without leaving a white cast or sticky finish. Plus, they boast a radiance-boosting finish that leaves your skin looking dewy and glowing, with a luminous sheen that’s perfect for summer or holidays.
The Ultra Violette Queen Screen Drops can be worn in two ways: mixed with your regular sunscreen under makeup for a radiant look or on top of makeup for an extra highlight. Although Millie chose the glow-boosting version, a bronzing version is also available for a sun-kissed glow without the damage.
On Cult Beauty, shoppers have praised the product, with one reviewer saying: “This product is perfect for poolside/no makeup days! I fell in love with it. It doesn’t feel like an SPF but more of a glowing serum.”
Another reviewer added: “This is gorgeous and glowy while protecting your skin. I often mix it with the bronzing one to get a great finish without needing foundation for casual days.”
A third reviewer agreed: “A great product, the color is very adaptable to all skin tones. The duration is very good.”

However, one reviewer was less impressed, writing: “I liked the premise of this and wanted to love it but found it quite glittery and didn’t absorb into my skin as I expected it to.”
Another reviewer said: “This is the first time I’ve used this but I like it. Leaves a lovely dewy finish. A little goes a long way otherwise I find it makes me too shiny.”
Millie’s beauty essentials also include the Lancaster Sun Beauty Sun Protective Water SPF30, a tan-enhancing body spray suitable for all skin types. This £32 product has a dry finish and helps repair skin from sun-induced damage while protecting against UVA, UVB, infrared, visible light and blue light.
She also swears by the Lancaster Sun Perfect Sun Illuminating Cream SPF50, which is currently on sale at Debenhams, reduced from £40 to £32. This cream not only offers SPF50 protection against UVBs, UVAs, visible light and infrared rays, but it also shields skin from sun-induced damage, strengthens its resistance against future sun damage, and helps reduce signs of ageing as you wear it, reports the Mirror.
