Good afternoon, my friends!
It's a great and lazy Sunday and I'm totally in the mood to do a review on a gorgeous product that I received recently, the Limited Edition Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (Love from Paris).
I know it looks like a perfume bottle but it's not. It's actually a multi purpose dry oil and before it gets confusing, I'll explain in a while.
But first, let us feast our eyes on this uber chio product manufactured all the way from France.
Isn't the elegant gold glass bottle with the lovely graphics of the symbolic buildings in Paris simply divine? It is said that the secret of Parisian women lies in this bottle of goodness so I guessed it's time for me to try and determine whether this product truly lives up to its hype.
I've actually reviewed the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multiple Purpose Dry Oil back in Year 2013 but since it's a good 3 years ago, I wanted to see whether my opinions on this product have changed over the years.
The Limited Edition Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is a multi purpose dry oil made up of 6 botanical oils, namely Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borage, Sweet Almond, Camellia and St John's Wort.
It has a light floral scent, kinda like a Eau de Parfum except that the scent doesn't linger too long on your body.
In terms of texture, the oil is also very lightweight and its gets absorbed very quickly into the body without leaving behind any sticky and greasy residue. This effect is actually more obvious on bodily skin compared to facial skin.
I remembered that 3 years ago, I didn't fancy having oils on my face because I was worried about breakouts and pimples but fast forward 3 years later, I have aged (le sigh) and my cheeks have gone increasingly dry with time. Thus, it did helped when I dabbed a teeny bit of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse on my cheeks to replenish the moisture. You can apply the product on its own or mix it with a day cream but I prefer to just apply directly.
Having a history of oily skin and pimple breakouts, I'm hesitant to use this product generously on my face but I do appreciate a little help from this product in touching up on the dry bits on my face. If you have ultra dry and even wrinkly skin, this might work way better for you than it will be for me.
My favourite thing about this product is that besides being able to nourish bodily and facial skin, it is also able to nourish the hair!
This is the main thing I love about the product 3 years ago as well as now. It is an awesome product in taming frizz as well as stubborn and dry hair ends. Simply scrunch the oil into your hair ends, smooth through the tangles and you're good to go. The floral scent adds a bit of hair perfume to your tresses but don't rely on the scent to linger for long.
In sum, I think that this product is acutally more suitable for my skincare and haircare needs now and I'm certainly gonna continue using this largely for my hair. Since it comes along with such a pretty packaging, what's there not to love about this precious bottle of goodness?
If you want to get your own Limited Edition Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (Love from Paris), it retails at $70 for a 100ml bottle at Beauty by Nature stores, Robinsons, John Little, Metro and selected Watson & Guardian stores.
