NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multipurpose Dry Oil

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

NUXE Huile Prodigieux Dry Oil is a delectable smelling dry oil that is formulated for use on the face, body and hair. The aroma, which might be described as a warm nutty floral, is utterly intoxicating. Huile Prodigieux is a multipurpose dry oil that nourishes, hydrates, softens and repairs dry skin and hair. It has a lightweight, fast absorbing texture that immediately transforms dry skin into soft, supple, nourished skin with pronounced luminosity. It leaves hair soft, silky smooth and shiny– while it tames frizz. I also find Huile Prodigieux particularly effective for dry hands, cuticles and feet, and for that reason I leave a bottle on my nightstand in order to use it nightly before falling asleep. I use it regularly as a body and hair oil and love massaging a small amount into my hands, cuticles and feet as well.

According to NUXE Paris,

Star product Huile Prodigieux Dry Oil for face, body and hair embodies the brand’s philosophy, a blend of pleasure and efficacy in a voluptuously addictive experience.

February Empties for the Face, Body & Hair

Purchased & Press Samples (Affiliate Links)

Though February was a short month, I managed to finish up a serious pile of products. However, I need to preface this by stating that most of these products were nearly used up, and just required the month to finish them. I hadn't used some of these products in quite a while, and was delighted to rediscover them. I generated 15 empties, and 11 of them were full-size, 2 were sample packet and 2 were deluxe samples.

PurelifeBiotics Luxury Shower Steamers in Veil of Tranquility Lavender ($20.00-$22.50 from PurelifeBiotics and Macy's): is a wonderful way to start or end the day with an aromatic lavender shower steamer. The calming aroma of lavender is tempered by the cooling and relaxing menthol, and the result is a relaxing shower that quiets the mind and calms the senses. If you shower before you go to sleep, you will find this calming ritual a perfect way to encourage a very restful sleep. Purchase Again? Oh yes, these are really wonderful!

Spongellé Body Wash Infused Buffers ($12.00-$20.00 each from Spongellé): This particular buffer was limited edition from a while ago, but you really can't go wrong with any of their buffers. These sponges not only effectively remove dead skin cells, but they also leave the skin deliciously baby soft, smooth, supple and moisturized. Body wash infused body buffers are such a treat to use, and they really excel in their ability to clean and exfoliate the skin while delighting the senses with their delightful aromas. You simply dampen the body buffer with water to activate the lather to effortlessly clean and exfoliate the skin. Each sponge is filled with enough body wash for a minimum of 14 washes, and once you have used up all of the body wash, the sponge itself is still quite intact, and therefore all you need to do is use it in conjunction with your favorite liquid or bar soaps. The hanging ribbon allows the buffer to dry out easily, but I recommend hanging it outside of the moist environment of the shower to avoid bacterial growth. Purchase Again? I just opened up a new one!

Cap'N Coconut Pineapple Face & Body Polish ($12.50 for 2 oz., $24.00 for 4 oz. and $40.00 for 8 oz. from Cap'N Coconut and the Cap'N Coconut Etsy Store): is such a beautiful exfoliator, and the delectable pineapple and coconut aroma is such a treat to the senses. This polish gently and effectively exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing soft, supple and smooth skin. Rather than stripping and drying out the skin, this lovely exfoliant leaves skin remarkably moisturized without leaving behind a greasy residue. The sugar gently exfoliates, and the moisturizing oils and honey soothe and hydrate the skin. It can be used on the face, lips and body. It has a wonderful putty-like consistency that doesn't crumble all over the place, making it so easy and satisfying to use. This is a truly lovely exfoliator for the face and body, and this cruelty-free brand is worthy of your consideration. Purchase Again? Perhaps eventually, but for the time being I have other exfoliators to use up first.

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil ($39.00-$42.00 & £28 for 3.3 oz. from Amazon, Beauty Expert, Anthropologie and Walmart): is a delectable smelling dry oil that is formulated for use on the face, body and hair. The aroma, which might be described as a warm nutty floral, is so beloved that it inspired NUXE to create an eau de parfum that captured its intoxicating scent.

Huile Prodigieuse is a multipurpose dry oil that nourishes, hydrates, softens and repairs dry skin and hair. It has a lightweight, fast absorbing texture that immediately transforms dry skin into soft, supple, nourished skin with pronounced luminosity. It leaves hair soft, silky smooth and shiny– while it tames frizz. I also find Huile Prodigieuse particularly effective for dry hands, cuticles and feet. NUXE selected particularly nourishing plant and nut oils such as Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borage, Sweet Almond, Camellia and St. John's Wort, because they efficiently nourish, repair and soften skin and hair. Purchase Again? I just opened another bottle!

OUAI Wave Spray ($14.00 for 1.7 oz. and $28.00 for 4.9 oz. from Sephora and Ulta): This is a wonderful non-sticky spray for effortless looking beachy waves. It has a weightless texture, it doesn't flake or make hair crunchy, s I run out.and it is suitable for all types of hair. While I have curly hair, this wonderful spray offers my hair touchable hold and enhances my curls. Purchase Again? I have one more bottle, and will definitely purchase more as soon as I run out.

Leonor Greyl Paris Crème Moelle de Bambou Nourishing Shampoo ($52.00 for 7 oz. from Nordstrom): I don't usually write much about sample packets, but I was so impressed by this shampoo that I had to weigh in. This shampoo is formulated for long and dry hair, and it worked so well on my long and curly hair that I knew that I would buy a bottle, but I am waiting for it to go on sale since it is quite expensive. This shampoo is very nourishing and hydrating, but it neither weighs hair down, nor leaves it feeling greasy. It makes hair soft, smooth, shiny, frizz-free and manageable, and it has a warm and delectable scent. Purchase Again? I am waiting for it to go on sale!

Nécessaire The Body Serum ($45.00 for 5.1 oz. from Nordstrom): I received this sample packet, like the Leonor Greyl, as a GWP from Nordstrom, and I was so impressed by this body serum. It is formulated as a daily hyaluronic acid-based treatment that "hydrates, replenishes and plumps the skin." I was so impressed by the extent to which it hydrated and plumped my skin that I really want a full size bottle. Purchase Again? I am really giving it serious consideration!

Koh Gen Do Herbal Spa Mist ($69.00 for 3.38 oz. from Koh Gen Do, Dermstore, Beautylish, Saks Fifth Avenue, SkinStore, Neiman Marcus and Macy's): This refreshing face misting spray is a wonderfully effective botanical blend that hydrates, calms and revitalizes the skin. It has an aroma that is informed by citrus, which is offset by Lavender, Eucalyptus and Rosemary, and this particular blend is a treat to the senses and the skin. It offers the skin a real pick-me-up during the warmer months of the year, and while I have been reaching for it daily this summer, it is undoubtedly something that I will enjoy using year round. Purchase Again? I have like products to use up first, but I would happily use this again!

Koh Gen Do Spa Moisture Gel Rich ($119.00 for 3.53 oz. from Koh Gen Do, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Dermstore, SkinStore, Macy's, Beautylish and Amazon): This beautiful moisturizer, which is primarily formulated for normal to dry skin, is the perfect antidote to dehydrated winter skin. It has a beautiful lightweight texture that immediately sinks into the skin and leaves behind no greasy residue. It effectively functions as an essence, lotion, cream and treatment mask, and it effortlessly bolsters hydration, replenishes depleted moisture and deeply nourishes the skin. I love it as an overnight mask and as a daily moisturizer, and I have seen a vast improvement in the hydration of my normal/combination skin. I should also note that it is very soothing and calming to the skin, and maintains its hydration levels when I am spending time in the heated indoors and the cod outdoors. This is a miracle product, ad it pairs so beautifully with the Gommage Spa Gel. Purchase Again? I will definitely consider it when I need another moisturizer, but I have quite a few to use up first!

Vitabrid C¹² Facial Boosting Water ($28.00 for 4.4 oz. from Vitabrid C¹² and Saks Fifth Avenue): This toner was specifically formulated to use in conjunction with Vitabrid C¹² FACE Brightening Powder, and once you mix them you will immediately see why they conceived of this brilliant brightening duo. This toner seriously boosts moisture levels and softens the appearance of fine lines because of Vitabrid's ingenious and potent blend of peptides and Hyaluronic Acid. When mixed with their Brightening Powder, skin is left luminous, dewy and over time more even in tone. Purchase Again? I actually think that I might have another bottle that I need to find and open!

Tata Harper Resurfacing Serum ($92.00 for 1 oz. from Tata Harper, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Credo Beauty and Cult Beauty): This is an ultra-effective exfoliating serum that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, with a blend of Alpha Hydroxy and Beta Hydroxy Acids, to reveal healthy luminous skin. Unlike many AHA and BHA skin treatments, that can have a tendency to dry skin, Tata Harper has formulated this special serum to hydrate and condition the skin without compromising its ability to exfoliate dead skin. It makes my skin look and feel amazing! Purchase Again? Not right now, but definitely in the future. I have other exfoliants to use first, but I must confess that I prefer this one to most on the market that I have tried.

Omorovicza Balancing Moisturizer ($155.00 for 50ml from Omorovicza, Space NK and Neiman Marcus): This is a wonderful balancing lotion for people with oily to combination skin that offers lo g-lasting hydration while controlling shine and oil. The formula is a lightweight gel that sinks into the skin immediately. Purchase again? While I enjoy using it during the summer months, I don't really require a shine-controlling lotion since my skin is more normal to combination, and I tend to use products formulated for normal, rather than oilier skin. However, if you have combination to oily skin, this is a really wonderful moisturizer!

Aesop Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream ($53.00 for 2 oz. from Nordstrom): This is a light to medium weight, very hydrating and extremely fast-absorbing cream, and it leaves behind no residue whatsoever. In fact, it offers a matte finish– which doubles as a primer, for me. It has an earthy nutty woodsy aroma that lingers for about 10 minutes before dissipating. If you love matte finishes, and creams that do double duty as effective arming bases, then you will definitely want to consider this cream. Purchase Again? Maybe eventually, but I have so many open jars of cream to use first.

Sisley Paris Eye Contour Masque ($175.00 for 1.16 oz. Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's and Bergdorf Goodman): If you are seeking an effective mask that reduces the appearance of under eye puffiness, dark circles and fine lines– then Sisley Paris Eye Contour Mask needs to be on your radar. I have used this luxury treat for more than 3 1/2 years, and it is definitely my secret weapon for those days when I wake up with puffiness because I am exhausted and didn't get nearly enough sleep. It is a smoothing mask, that is suitable for all types of skin, and it is specifically formulated to reduce puffiness, lighten dark circles and soften the appearance of fine lines.

On me, I have noted that it deeply hydrates the skin, efficiently smooths and plumps fine lines, reduces the appearance of puffiness and has lightened my dark circles associated with a poor night of sleep. The richly hydrating gel-based formula feels refreshing and lightly cooling, and immediately nourishes and moisturizes the skin leaving it soft, smooth, supple, lifted and dewy.

The recommendation is to apply a thick layer and to leave it on for about 10 minutes, and then gently tissue it off. However, I prefer to apply a moderate layer and leave it on for about 20 minutes instead. The results are impressive, and it is such a pleasure to use. I should remind you that I have sensitive eyes, and that this gentle formula does not irritate them or cause them to water. There is a very light aroma, presumably from the ingredients rather than an added fragrance, that is barely detectable. Purchase Again? I love this stuff, and I just opened another tube!

TATCHA Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder ($68.00 for 2.1 oz. from Tatcha, and Sephora): I'm just so incredibly impressed by TATCHA in general, and really believe that they make some of the very finest skincare products on the market. TATCHA Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder is a very effective, yet a remarkably gentle, exfoliating cleanser. I really enjoy the metamorphosis from powder to paste, and the routine itself is immensely pleasurable. There is just enough grit to the texture of this refined and silky paste to loosen and remove all debris and dirt. Purchase Again? I already opened a full size jar.

Overall Assessment: I was so pleased when I recycled all of these empty containers, and was elated to use these products up before they went bad. What did you use up, toss out, give away or return in February? Did you discover anything wonderful? Did you discover over-hyped products not worth buying? Any real duds to report?

February 2023 Product Empties for the Face, Body and Hair

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

While February was a short month, I still managed to finish up 7 face, body and hair products. I would most happily use all of them again, but I won't likely be repurchasing anything until I have finished more products from each of these products. I am swimming in open bottles, tubes and jars and don't want them to spoil before I use them up. Here is what I finished in February:

Patchology Serve Chilled Bubbly Eye Gels: An effervescent eye gel to help refresh your skin. The eye gels are formulated with resveratrol from grapes along with orange extract to help protect from environmental stressors that can lead to early signs of aging. Niacinamide helps brighten dull under-eye skin. Purchase Again? I still have a couple of packs left, but I would definitely buy these when I finish them. ($15.00-$35.00 from Patchology, Ulta, Nordstrom, bluemercury and Macy's)

LilyAna Naturals Rose & Pomegranate Face Cream: is moisturizer that is very nourishing, gentle and calming. It has a lightweight consistency, and it immediately melts into the skin without leaving behind a greasy residue. It is formulated for all skin types, and it offers superior and sustained moisture. It is so gentle and calming that it is a perfect choice to help heal dry, chapped and peeling skin, and that is certainly appreciated during the cold months of the year. Skin is left comfortable, soft and luminous. It is my go-to choice after I have done an at-home peel and after exfoliation. This face cream does not contain sunscreen, and therefore I use a high SPF sunscreen in addition to this moisturizer. I do not detect any aroma, and therefore it should not bother people who are sensitive to scented skincare products. Purchase Again? I really like this a lot, but I have too many open tubes, bottles and jars of face cream to use before I consider purchasing more. ($29.99 for 1.7 oz from LilyAna Naturals, their Amazon Store, CVS and Walmart)

Arcona Brightening Gommage: is a wonderful facial exfoliator that is good for all skin types. This is, without question, a very good exfoliators. The exfoliating beads are small and in abundant supply, and they effectively remove dead skin cells revealing radiant skin with pronounced clarity and improved tone. It smells and feels amazing, and it lasts a long time. Purchase Again? I have a new tube that I am about to open! ($56.00 for 3.4 oz. from Nordstrom)

NUXE Huile Prodigieux Shower Oil: The aroma, which might be described as a warm nutty floral, is utterly delectable, and its rich and crazy aroma fills the bathroom and delights the senses. NUXE Prodigieux Shower Oil is a lightly lathering and richly moisturizing cleanser that fills the senses with the most delectable rich and warm blend of sweet almond oil, orange blossom, magnolia and vanilla. It has a gorgeous quasi-iridescent glow from the golden pearls that impart a slight golden sheen to the skin. Skin is left hydrated, soft, supple and delicately fragranced. Purchase Again? Without question! ($15.00 for 6.7 oz. from Amazon, and Look Fantastic)

Spongellé Courageous Sugar Crush Body Wash Infused Buffer: makes brilliant body wash-infused sponges that effectively and gently clean and exfoliate the skin, and they leave the it deliciously baby soft, smooth, supple and moisturized. They really excel in their ability to clean and exfoliate the skin while delighting the senses with their delightful aromas. Sugar Crush is a delectable and vibrant scent with the following notes: Top: Pomegranate Seed, Custard Apple, Red Berries. Middle: Star Jasmine, Muguet, Cherry Blossom and Base: Sugar Musk, Golden Amber, Vanilla Cream. Purchase Again? I love this scent, but I have other scents that I will use next. ($14.00 from Spongellé)

Typology Hydrating Cleansing Bar with Palmarosa: is a handcrafted face and body bar that is non-stripping, nourishing and thoroughly hydrating. It achieves a very satisfying lather, and it leaves skin remarkably soft, smooth and hydrated. Therefore, it is never drying, and it will not leave skin in the least bit taut or uncomfortable. Furthermore, it has a wonderful light and refreshing Lemongrass aroma that is truly delightful. Purchase Again? YES! ($16.90 for 3.53 oz. from Typology)

Philip B. Oud Royal Forever Shine Conditioner: is the embodiment of a luxe conditioner. The ultra emollient formula, coupled with the delectable scent, makes using this conditioner a supremely enjoyable sensory experience. Like its matching shampoo, Philip B. Oud Royal Forever Shine Conditioner boasts the highly innovative and cutting-edge time-released botanical delivery system that imparts hair with unprecedented moisture and shine over a sustained period of time. While one only needs to leave it on for a minute, I prefer to leave it on for 10-20 minutes for deeper hydration. It infuses hair with lasting moisture, glossiness, bounce, and the delectable scent of pure Oud. Purchase Again? If it ever goes on sale, I will. In the meantime, I have many conditioners to use first. ($38.00-$98.00 for 2oz and 6oz. from Nordstrom and Dermstore)

Overall Assessment: I am happy that I finished 7 products in February, and thankfully I didn't have to toss out anything that was spoiled! What did you use up, toss out, give away or return in February? Any winners or duds to report?

NUXE Paris Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse Paris Limited Edition | A Delighted Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

People with a penchant for beauty oils, are no doubt, well aware of the iconic NUXE Paris Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse, and it is a definite must-have for luxury beauty oil enthusiasts. If you have been wanting to try it, or need to replenish your supply, then the NUXE Paris Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse Paris Limited Edition offers a stunning keepsake bottle for this exemplary multipurpose beauty oil.

NUXE Paris Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse is a delectable smelling dry oil that is formulated for use on the face, body and hair. The aroma, which might be described as a warm nutty floral, is so beloved that it inspired NUXE to create an eau de parfum that captured its intoxicating scent.

Huile Prodigieuse is a multipurpose dry oil that nourishes, hydrates, softens and repairs dry skin and hair. It has a lightweight, fast absorbing texture that immediately transforms dry skin into soft, supple, nourished skin with pronounced luminosity. It leaves hair soft, silky smooth and shiny– while it tames frizz. I also find Huile Prodigieuse particularly effective for dry hands, cuticles and feet, and for that reason I leave a bottle on my nightstand in order to use it nightly before falling asleep.

NUXE selected particularly nourishing plant and nut oils such as Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borage, Sweet Almond, Camellia and St. John's Wort, because they efficiently nourish, repair and soften skin and hair.

Tips from NUXE: "Blend a few precious drops in with your favorite cream or serum. Spritz on wet hair to impart an effortless just-out-of-the-shower style, blend into foundation for a dewy finish and get an extra glow by mixing dry oil Huile Prodigieuse with your favorite moisturizer. A light spray before applying a face mask will give your skin a burst of moisture."

I have used Huile Prodigieuse in all of the aforementioned ways– except I have yet to apply it prior to masking, but I plan to try that next.

According to NUXE Paris,

Star product Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil for face, body and hair embodies the brand’s philosophy, a blend of pleasure and efficacy in a voluptuously addictive experience. With its unique dry texture, not only does it nourish, repair and soften face, body and hair, it also smells and feels great. Its secret natural formula of precious botanical oils and plant extracts combines effortless beauty with immediate results and a touch of indulgence, ensuring its star status among women. Nuxe harnesses the powers of nature to make all women feel prodigiously beautiful. There’s no mystery behind Nuxe’s success—the brand simply delivers on its promises of Parisian natural beauty.

Dry oil Huile Prodigieuse and its sister, the shimmering dry oil Huile Prodigieuse Or (for a golden, sun-kissed look) are more than classics, they have become an integral part of every self-respecting Parisian woman's beauty regimen—no bathroom cabinet is complete without it! Borrow a few tips from her beauty routine: this multi-usage dry oil Huile Prodigieuse is a treat on its own, or it can replace your face, body and hand cream.

Overall Assessment: It's an iconic beauty oil for good reason. If you love beauty oils, then you need this one in your collection. This is neither my first bottle, nor is to my last! Some wildly popular products really live up to their hype, and Huile Prodigieuse is definitely among them! A+

NUXE Huile Prodigieux Shower Oil | A Delicious Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you love everything about NUXE Huile Prodigieuse, then you are going to lose your mind when you try their brand new Huile Prodigieux Shower Oil! It has the same glorious scent that you love from their oil, and the golden shimmer that they use in their Shimmering Dry Oil but in a lightly lathering and ultra-nourishing body wash! I love luxurious aromatic shower products, but this is a whole different level that exceeds everything that preceded it.

NUXE Prodigieux Shower Oil is a lightly lathering and richly moisturizing cleanser that fills the senses with the most delectable rich and warm blend of sweet almond oil, orange blossom, magnolia and vanilla. It has a gorgeous quasi-iridescent glow from the golden pearls that impart a slight golden sheen to the skin. Skin is left hydrated, soft, supple and delicately fragranced.

It is nearly impossible to sufficiently underscore the extent to which the shower is transformed into the most intoxicating and luxurious sensory experience. The moment that the water blends with this gorgeous golden potion the scent bursts forth and transforms the experience of bathing to an experience that exceeds every expectation. One is essentially transported to an exotic locale while being overcome by the most beautiful scent imaginable.

NUXE Huile Prodigieux Shower Oil is described as,

NUXE's cult-favorite Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil is now available in a luxe, shower oil formula. The best just got better.

An ultra-sensorial shower oil ,which gently cleanses, leaves a satin finish and a delicate fragrance for a moment of pure pleasure.

The pearly, sulfate-free SHOWER OIL, made with sweet almond oil and perfumes with orange blossom, magnolia and vanilla, transforms into a fine foam for gentle cleansing.

Overall Assessment: It must be tried to be believed. It's that amazing!

NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm Review

Purchased by me (Affiliate links)

According to NUXE their Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm is,

A repairing, nourishing lip balm with a rich, delicious texture to restore suppleness and comfort to dry and chapped lips. An ultra concentrated natural formula for instant healing. Soothes, repairs, nourishes, softens and heals chapped lips whilst reducing fine lines of the lip contour area.

They also assert,

With its formula tested in extremely cold conditions in Canada, comfort is restored to chapped lips (96%**). They are nourished (82%**), repaired (96%**) and protected (91%**).
*Use test carried out under dermatological supervision on 22 volunteers over 28 days in extreme climate conditions in Canada - % of volunteers who agreed with the claim.

The texture of Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm is ultra thick and rich and unbelievably moisturizing. It is what I like to think of as a truly full-coverage lip balm because it really coats your lips and has amazing staying power. It feels amazing on the lips--offering relief to even the most chapped lips. The finish is matte-- which likely accounts for its ability to stay put once applied. Likewise, the matte finish makes for an extraordinary base for any lipstick-- and increases the wear-time of anything you put on your lips. This magical balm makes my lips so soft and supple that it has found a home on my nightstand. When I apply it at night there is still a very thin veil on my lips when I wake up, and my lips are plump and moisturized without fail. It really is incredible! The scent has a light and refreshing citrus flair, but there is no distinguishable taste once applied to the lips.

Active Ingredients: "This concentrated skincare nourishes, repairs, soothes and protects the lips (Honey, Plant Oils, Shea Butter, Grapefruit Essence)."

Ingredients:

Overall assessment: I now understand why NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm has achieved cult-status-- in my estimation it lives up to the hype!
