Product Review: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or



Claims
95% of the ingredients of this dry oil are of natural origin, and it does not contain any preservatives. Six plant oils (Borage, St. John's Wort, Sweet Almond, Camellia, Hazelnut and Macadamia) and vitamin E moisturise your face, body and hair which are left feeling soft and silky. Using this oil on your legs will create a "silk stocking" effect. Also, the product will blur any blemishes thanks to the golden particles. You can also mix this oil with your moisturiser or foundation to brighten your complexion and create an iridescent finish. Alternatively, you can also add a hint of the oil on your cheekbones. Suitable for all skin and hair types.

My experience
In my opinion, this dry oil is absolutely amazing. It keeps all its promises and leaves a subtle golden shimmer wherever you apply it, and your skin/hair feels soft and silky thanks to the precious oils. I have fond memories using this during the summer. The good thing is that you can also use this during the winter. On top of this, its scent is fabulous. It smells sexy and feminine, and above all, natural. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is not too impatient with skin care (even if it is a dry oil, you do need to wait a bit till it absorbs). The only downside is its price, which is very expensive. There are two formats, 50ml which cost £21, and 100ml which cost £34.

Product Review: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser (for all skin types)


Advantages
This product does exactly what it claims: it cleanses gently without over-drying or stripping skin of its natural oils. The formula itself already feels gentle and very smooth, and I sincerely believe it is suitable for all skin types, including oily skin. The product is ph-balanced and was tested for safety and gentleness.

Disadvantages
The scent is a bit "clinical" if you see what I mean, but this is often the case with ph-balanced products and doesn't really bother me personally. However, the price may be more of an issue. At $10 for 75ml, the cleanser is not exactly cheap. However, especially if you have sensitive skin and are looking for a gentle cleanser, this may be your product in spite of the price.
