A FOOTIE WAG has proved she’s still down-to-earth when it comes to her skincare – with a drugstore buy hailed her “number one product”.
Ellie Butler is the childhood sweetheart of ex-Celtic midfielder Liam Shaw who signed a loan deal with Wigan Athletic last summer.
She regularly shares her shopping and beauty buys with her army of followers on social media.
And while her dressing room is packed full of designer handbags and footwear, the humble Wag still loves a bargain in her makeup bag.
In a recent video, the newly engaged blonde beauty revealed her “number one product” that she swears by for glowy skin.
She said: “This is my second or third bottle of this product.
“I really feel like it’s transformed the texture of my skin. I’ve never really suffered with bad skin. I’ve never really had like acne prone skin, I feel like it’s been pretty normal.
“But I did used to get some of the under the skin bumps, you know, the spots that you can’t pop and I feel like this has really transformed it.
“I feel like my forehead’s giving Botox forehead and I’ve never had Botox.
“It’s just giving me such a nice glow.”
The product in question is L’Oréal’s Revitalift Clinical 12% Pure Vitamin C Serum.
The 30ml bottle promises “pure vitamin C in every drop” with skin set to look brighter and smoother.
L’Oréal bosses also claim that it is clinically proven to correct and protect against the first signs of ageing – visibly evening skin tone, reducing pores and smoothing lines.
And the best part? The £32 serum is currently half price in both Boots and Superdrug, costing just £15.99.
Ellie added: “I use this twice a day in my morning and my night-time skincare routine.
“I put this on fresh skin, it is the first product that I use in my routine.
“I don’t have no extravagant routine, a few pumps of this rub it on my hands and I literally just dab it everywhere.
“And I just feel like it gives me a glow, honestly I feel like my skin has transformed using this product.”
Ellie’s not the only one loving it either, with the serum racking up countless five-star reviews.
One beauty fan gushed: “Hands down my favourite everyday serum and it’s affordable! I’m almost at the end of this bottle but will be repurchasing.”
Another chimed in: “I am in my early 30’s and I love using this product every morning. Really does what it says and just make my skin look health and plump. Also brightens it.”
Meanwhile, a third said: “I love this VitaminC Serum! It’s my new favourite serum in my skincare routine.
“It makes my skin feel tight and snatched up. It looks dewy and bright. I’m in love.”
Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty.
“No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you’re not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.
“There aren’t many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime.”
Vlogger Ellie has been with her football ace beau since before his time at Celtic.
Liam, who has spent the last season on loan at Wigan Athletic, proposed to girlfriend Ellie during a holiday to Jamaica in May.
The childhood sweethearts got together when Liam was on the books at Sheffield Wednesday.
His time at Celtic hasn’t quite worked out on the pitch, with the 23-year-old having only played two games for the club since signing under Ange Postecoglou in 2021.
He had loan stints at Motherwell and Morecambe in previous seasons and despite the upheaval, he and Ellie have grown stronger.
Sharing news of their engagement accompanied by a pic of her huge diamond ring on social media, smitted Ellie said: “Always and forever.”
