SKINCARE I WANT TO TRY FOR RADIANT GLOWING SKIN

Hello everyone! It has been a hot minute since i last shared any sort of skincare routine or skincare related post and there is an explanation for that, that reason being that i have actually been doing the same skincare routine/using the same products since last summer. I just found that all of the products i was using were really working well for me, that being said now i feel like it is time for much needed change. So i have taken the time out to research and discover what products i think would work well for me and my skin type, rather than just picking up anything and wasting my money...

1. revolution gold elixir | £10 | click to shop |

I have been a huge fan of facial oils for a while now and i always opt for one as a primer/base for my skin before going in with foundation, as i just find that they not only hydrate my skin but also help my foundation apply better, sit better on the skin and last for longer.

- rosehip seed oil

- ultra-nourishing to promote supple skin and even texture

- subtle gold flecks to boost radiance

- how to use: shake well before use. massage a few drops into skin, before makeup but after applying any water-based serums. use alone at night or in the morning mixed with foundation for a radiant finish or to make matte formulas dewier.

2. nuxe creme prodigieuse boost silky cream | £29.50 | click to shop |

So ever since last summer and before that i have been using a lot of products in my skincare routine by the brand Nuxe, as it is definitely a brand that i know works for me. Whilst searching for a new moisturiser i noticed that they have a new line of products, which all look amazing and definitely the type of products that would work with my skin type for hydration.

- redefine the facial contours and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles

- antioxidant-rich jasmine flower works to defend against the ageing effects

- fresher, brighter and younger-looking complexion

- how to use: apply in the morning to the face, neck and décolleté.

3. revolution hyaluronic acid over-night face mask | £8 | click to shop |

Face masks are an essential for any skincare routine, especially when you need an instant skin boost or instant hydration fix in the space of 10 minutes or so. That being said you want something that is a little more complex and i feel like this over-night mask/over-night masks in general, are perfect for doing just that.

- hydrate your skin overnight with this hyaluronic ccid infused treatment

- sweet almond oil 

- vitamin e to moisturise

- how to use: apply to cleansed skin to soak in overnight, avoiding the eye area. cleanse any residue or massage in upon waking. use 1-2 times a week.

4. lumene nordic c pure glow cleansing balm | £15.90 | click to shop |

I have been using an oil based cleanser for the past few months now, which i did enjoy using but there is just something about a cleansing balm for removing your makeup. When i have used them in the past they have really broken down the build up of makeup a lot faster than some other formulated cleansers.

- effortlessly melting onto skin

- wild arctic plant extracts and scandinavian ingredients

- vitamin c for enhanced radiance

how to use: massage gently onto wet skin. rinse well with lukewarm water or with a dampened cloth. removes impurities and makeup without leaving a greasy residue, leaving skin feeling refreshed.

5. garnier organic argan mist | £5.29 | click to shop |

I love face mists especially in the spring/summer months, more so when it is super hot or when i need to feel instantly refreshed and awake. A lot of mists can be used also on top of makeup, as well as underneath which comes in handy.

- vegan formula: no animal derived ingredients or by products inside

- argan from morocco is organically produced and ethically sourced

- hydrates and refreshes to awaken skin

- how to use: spray at min 15cm. do not intentionally inhale. apply to the skin before completing skincare routine, before or after makeup.

6. revolution pink clay detoxing mask | £8 | click to shop |

Drifting back to to face masks, sometimes the skin or different areas of the skin need a different type of tlc. That is what the beauty of different formulated masks for different needs, which a lot of skincare brands take in to consideration.

- formulated with seaweed extract

- witch hazel to help moisturise and soothe problematic areas

- draws out impurities and absorbs oil for a healthier looking complexion

- how to use: apply an even layer to clean, dry skin avoiding contact with eye area. allow to work for 10-15 minutes. rinse well with warm water. use 1-2 times a week.

7. neutrogena radiance boost hydrogel mask | £3.50 | click to shop |

Finally we have my favourite type of face mask which is the sheet mask, i always opt for these as they are easy to use, always effective and are mess-free when applying. I usually reach for the Garnier moisture bomb sheet masks, but i really want to try out some different brands especially the ones from the Neutrogena range.

- a revitalising treatment designed in korea

-  vitamin b3

- expect a soft, fresh complexion with a luminous glow

- how to use: cleanse your face before using. peel white film backing from the mask sheet and discard. place hydrogel mask down on face and leave on from 15-30 minutes. remove the mask and massage remaining product onto face and neck.

WHAT'S ON MY BEAUTY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

Hello everyone! It is that time of year again and with Christmas just being a little over a week away, i thought it was about time i share with you what is on my "Christmas Wishlist" beauty edition this year. Side note this year i feel like there are so many more great gift sets/products that are new-in for the holiday unlike usual, so it was a little difficult to resist and keep the lust list to a minimum...

1. nuxe luxury prodigieux set | click to shop | £37 worth £57 |

First of all can i just say that this year Look Fantastic have nailed their site/stock for Christmas this year, with so many different categories from hers/his to stocking fillers. Nuxe is the skincare brand that i reach for every single say, especially their huile prodigieuse, so naturally this gift set is going to be a winner with me. 

2. laura mercier stardust radiant glow palette | click to shop | £40 |

Next up as soon as my eyes locked in on this palette i knew i was going to want to put it on my wishlist, as let's face it who doesn't love a highlighter palette? I love every single thing about this palette from it's rose gold slim/compact packaging with star features, the three different molten metallic and beautifully pigmented highlight shades that will leave you glowing. 

3. sanctuary spa sumptuous selection gift set | click to shop | £18 |

Who doesn't love giving/receiving a spa-like gift set for Christmas? because i know i do and especially anything by Sanctuary Spa. Picking up gift sets from the drugstore is such a good way to save money at Christmas as gifts from both Superdrug and Boots are all always on a 3 for 2 offer. Another great tip especially if you are wanting to pick one up for yourself, is to hold off until Boxing Day and pick yourself up some sets for 1/2 off.

4. bareMinerals exclusive star signs lipstick duo | click to shop | £17.50 |

If you know me personally or have read my posts in the past, then you will know that you will be on to a winner straight away if you were to gift me something bareMinerals as it is in fact my favourite makeup brand. This set is perfect for not just any lip product lover but also nude lip product lovers, as it comes as a Gen Nude full sized lipstick duo for just £17.50 instead of £34.

5. bareMinerals BAREPRO glow liquid highlighter | click to shop | £23 |

Another bareMinerals product that is firmly placed on my wishlist this year is this new-in liquid highlighter in the shade fierce, from the bare-pro range. Fierce is this most beautiful copper/bronze shade that can be worn/used multiple ways, either simply on the high points of your face, mixed in with your foundation or simply in with your skincare.

6. dose of colors mickey mouse collection lip gloss | click to shop | £16 |

Another brand that i love and use often is Dose of Colors and this Christmas on BeautyBay they are stocking the brands Mickey Mouse collection, which i am first of all living for not only the packaging but also the three different shades from the lip gloss collection. 

7. too faced sugar cookie eyeshadow palette | click to shop too faced | £33 |

Finally is a palette that i think is going to be one of those "impossible to find" gifts, as it is literally sold out everywhere (including the gingerbread palette) which happens pretty much every time Too Faced launch a new cute designed palette. I love how compact yet versatile this palette is, from its different shades with both matte and shimmer finishes. Also if you know anything about Too Faced palettes, then you will already know that they smell amazing and i simply can't wait to get a sniff of this sugar cookie palette.

WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR SUMMER HOLIDAY MAKEUP BAG

Hello everyone! So back at the start of summer i first shared a drugstore beach holiday makeup post, which focused mainly on more "day/beach" makeup products and not evening time/multi purpose products. With that in mind for today's post, i thought i would put a spin on things and share with you more of a must-pack post...

1. choose wisely when picking a makeup bag

Tip number one and probably one of the most important ones is, when it comes to choosing a makeup bag to take away with you. Personally i always use the ones from Skinnydip, as you can not only fit a large amount into a compact space, you can also see what you are searching for yet the designs are still really nice.

2. save space + pack mini/travel size products

This doesn't just apply to makeup but also toiletries like shower gels, shampoos and toothpastes. Although an important one for me is mini sized skincare products, which you can picks up in sets/gift with purchases or free as a beauty counter and i like to save them for when i am travelling anywhere. This is such a great way of taking all the products you are going to need, as well as saving space and not wasting product. 

3. skincare/hydrating products

Kind of sticking with the skincare mini/travels theme, a must pack for summer holiday is your skincare and more specifically hydrating products. The reason being is as you are more likely going to be in the sun a lot, you are going to want to re-hydrate your skin and add moisture back in from what the sun has soaked up.

4. different shades of foundation

This is a must pack thing for me also and that is two different shades of foundation, as at the start of the holiday you are obviously going to be less tanned than you will be during the mid-end of your holiday and that is where the darker shade will come in. Also by having two different shades, if you are an in-between shade you can simple mix a little of the two together to create a shade that matches you.

5. opt for a liquid highlighter/more natural highlighter

Wearing a liquid/cream highlighter on holiday is much more light weight than layering multiple products, also you are probably going to want to opt for something a little more natural (especially if it is humid in the evenings) nobody wants to be a shine-y mess.

6. setting powder/setting spray

Talking of a shine-y mess, another must pack item is definitely setting powders and setting sprays. Not only will this keep your makeup from moving around during the evening, but it will also keep you shine free and this even applies to me being a normal-dry skin type (so if you are more of and oily skin type you are definitely going to want to touch up). Setting sprays will also add another layer of shine protection, as well as hydrating your skin and allow you to feel a little more refreshed.

7. multiple lip products + different shades

I am all about the nudes but when it comes to being on holiday, you are going to want to be sassy from time to time and wearing a brighter/different coloured lip. A lot of lip products are super sleek/compact packaging wise, so you can afford to pack a handful if you wanted to (as long as you have different options).

8. opt for sleek/smaller packaged products

Finally and still talking about packing multiple products, you are also want to be wise about what size of product you are going to take. Definitely ditch your bulky eyeshadow/cheek palettes for the week and opt for something sleeker or smaller, this way you are freeing up space for other key essential products.

BEAUTY HACKS I SWEAR BY | PART ONE: MAKEUP + SKIN

Hello everyone! Through-out the years we have all discovered a hack or two that comes in handy and we have also learnt the hard way, that some don't work as well if not at all. That being said, after trying so many different hacks/tricks myself, i have found the ones that work well for me personally and i swear by using them on an everyday basis because they actually can make a huge difference. So for today's post i thought i would share part one to a little "beauty hacks i swear by" series, kicking things off with makeup and skin...

1. LINE UPPER LASH LINE TO MAKE LASHES APPEAR THICKER

If you are having one of those days where you either can't be bothered, don't have the time or don't want to wear false lashes but you still want your lashes to stand out. You can still achieve this quick and easily by simply applying some eyeliner or eyeshadow with an angled brush close to your upper lash line, it not only makes the lashes appear thicker but also makes your eyes pop more.

2. USE POWDER FOR A FAUX LASH EFFECT
Another great tip for creating that false lash look without actually wearing falsies, is to firstly curl your lashes before applying one coat of mascara. Next you are going to want to apply some translucent powder to your lashes before going in with another coat of mascara, by doing this is creates  thicker, fuller and longer looking lashes. I don't know how but i just know that this works so well!

3. DO YOUR EYESHADOW BEFORE YOUR CONCEALER

I have always done my makeup in a specific order, i like to do my foundation first before i do my eyeshadow, rather than going straight in with concealer and finishing my base before moving onto my eyes. By doing this you have created an even base but you can still go in with concealer to fix any mistakes or fall-out that might of occurred, as you haven't placed any powder yet on your face and therefore your makeup won't appear cake-y from placing a liquid on-top of a powder.

4. USE BRONZER FOR A QUICK EYESHADOW LOOK
Talking of eyeshadow a great alternative to applying eyeshadow, especially if you want a quick and easy eye look is to use your bronzer what you plan on using as part of your base makeup. I do this all the time, even more so if i am travelling that way you don't have to pack a ton of products. I always tend to take a bronze, blush and highlighter palette, this way everything is in one place and a lot more compact.

5. HOW TO GET GLOWING SKIN
Towards the end of last year i posted a similar type of post in the form of a beauty tricks that actually make a difference and in that post i touched on how to fake glowing skin. Through out the years we have probably all needed a helping hand with this now and again, me included and liquid highlighters, facial oils and strobe creams will definitely be your best friends. That being said you can also achieve glowing skin naturally, by following a few easy steps that i swear has helped for me. First of all make sure you are drinking 2+ litres of water a day, if you aren't a huge fan of plain water switch things up and add a little non sugar squash to the water. Next of all getting vitamins into your system is key, whether that be in tablet form, from fruits and vegetables. You could even kill two birds with one stone by getting your water intake and vitamins in one, in the form of a berocca which is full of b vitamins and folic acid.

6. CREATE A THERMAL FACE MASK IN SECONDS

Always heard that the benefits for your skin from a thermal face mask are amazing? but don't have a thermal designed mask in your collection or price range. You can create your own in seconds with one you already have, simply place the amount of product you would normally use into a microwave proof bowl and heat for 20-30 seconds making sure it doesn't over-heat or dry-out. Apply the now thermal face mask with an old yet clean foundation brush, sit back/relax and feel like you have taken a trip to the spa from home.

2017 BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Hello everyone! This past year i have tried so many different products, some i have loved and some i have not loved so much, with that in mind and now that we are into a new year i thought it would be the perfect time to share a selection of my favourite beauty products from the whole of 2017.

mac pro longwear lip pencil in the shade oh honey!

I have used this lip liner so much ever since i first picked it up earlier in the year, so much so it is pretty much a tiny stump now ha ha. It is one of those nude lip liners that will go with pretty much any other nude that you pair it with. I also love this pro longwear formula even more than the original formula, as it is so much more creamy in texture and obviously lasts longer on the lips.

bareMinerals gen nude buttercream lip gloss in the shade far out

Just like the lip liner this is pretty much my most used lip gloss for the same reason as the lip liner, as it is one of those toppers that goes with any nude. These gen nude lip glosses from bareMinerals come in such a wide range of different nudes but this one by far is my favourite, as it is the most perfect pink/beige nude with golden shimmer through-out it.

dose of colors bake browns eyeshadow palette

When it comes down to eyeshadows and palettes i always opt for the warm neutral brown-ish shades, which won't come as a shock (just like a nude lip it is my thing/go-to) and out of all the eyeshadows and palettes i have bought and used this year, this palette by far is my favourite. I use two particular shades on a daily basis (deserted and outdoorsy), i even did a full first impression and review post all about this palette which you can catch up on here if you haven't done so already.

nuxe huile prodigieuse multi-usage dry oil

This particular product from NUXE has been one of those that i have wanted to try for the longest time, but never got around to and then a few months a go i finally did. Ever since then i have never looked back, in fact it has ended up being my favourite skincare product from the whole year. This particular oil is another product that i have a full first impressions/review post on, which you can catch up on here.

zoeva the basic moment blush palette

I have mentioned these little travel friendly blush palettes by Zoeva on so many occasions, as they are some of my favourite palettes and this particular one is my new favourite from 2017. The bronzer/contour shade is the perfect tone as it is not too cool or too warm, the blush is a subtle light pink shade but the show stopper of the palette is the fine-milled golden shimmery highlighter and is one i reach for on a regular basis.

bareMinerals invisible bronze medium bronzing powder 

Sticking with the something i reach for on a regular basis, in fact i think i have used this bronzer every day since i finally got my hands on one. I had wanted the medium shade for so long and it was always out of stock, but it was well worth the wait and doesn't disappoint. The bronzer applies flawlessly and lasts all day long. 

barry m liquid chrome highlighter

2017 for me was the year that i really got into trying/using liquid highlighters, as before then i was too scared (along side liquid or cream bronzers). That being said ever since getting over that initial fear, i became obsessed and out of all of the ones i have tried this one from barryM has to be my favourite and you can find out why in my full review/first impression post here.

Happy New Year Everyone!

KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE: CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE

Hello everyone! So it has been a good few months (April to be precise) since i last did any form of skincare routine post and since then, i have switched up a fair few products in my daily routine. Now that we are into the autumn/winter months our skin needs just as much TLC, as it would during the summer months if not more sometimes. As the weather is obviously colder, the coolness tends to dry out our skin a lot quicker than it would when the weather is warmer. That being said seeing as my skin type is normal/dry, i need all the help i can get when it comes to keeping my skin looking and feeling hydrated.

nivea daily essentials 3-in-1 deep cleansing exfoliating wipes

Kicking things off with how i start by removing my makeup and that is with these face wipes by Nivea, which have been favourites of mine for so long now and i don't reach for any other face wipes now as nothing compares to them for me. Even though they are exfoliating wipes they aren't harsh in the slightest on the skin, i simply like to take one of these to remove as much surface makeup as i can before going in with my cleanser.

simple water boost micellar facial gel wash

So i have been using this particular face wash for a few weeks now and i am really enjoying reaching for so far, because it honestly just ticks all of the boxes for what my skin needs at this time of year. I love how gentle, yet effective this face wash is and removes every single bit of makeup from your face, as well as leaving it feeling super soft/hydrated. I have never really reached for all that many Simple products ever, but after giving this a try i am intrigued to try more from this particular "water boost micellar" range.

t-zone charcoal & bamboo nose pore strips

I first mentioned these nose pore strips in my five october favourites from superdrug under £5 post and how effective i have found them to be, for unblocking my pores/getting rid of any blackheads on my nose. Strips like these are really great just to pop one on once a week, to remove any build up which is mainly caused from wearing makeup every single day like i pretty much do.

kiehl's rare earth deep pore cleansing masque 

This particular face mask was recommended to me by my sister, as it is really great for eliminating impurities (aka blemishes) and helps draw out any oil build up from the problem areas. I really love "clay" type face masks, as i find they work well for my skin and even though it is more of a dry texture face mask, it doesn't dry out my skin in the slightest. I will usually only use this face mask either once or twice a week.

garnier moisture bomb tissue mask

So this particular sheet mask has been a favourite of mine ever since they launched and i usually always have a handful of them in-stock, for when i might need one. The reason for that is because this particular sheet mask is amazing for that instant boost of hydration, that your skin might be lacking and you can literally go from dry skin to hydrated skin in 10-15 minutes. As this is a sheet mask as well there is no washing off needed to be done, all that you simply do is remove the sheet from your face and massage in the remanding product.

the ordinary salicylic acid 2% solution

I have tried out so many different skincare products from The Ordinary brand by Deciem, but i have honestly never tried one as effective as this particular solution is. If i have a huge/angry visitor on my face, all i will do is apply a small amount of this solution to the problem area, right before going to bed and in the morning it will have reduced the size of the blemish/problem area. I also still can't believe how affordable yet effective these products are, especially because the majority of them are under £5 each. 

manuka doctor apirefine targeted wrinkle filler

This product is one that i was using during my previous skincare routine post and still continues to be my eye cream of choice now. I love how ever since using this wrinkle filler, the lines under my eyes appear smaller, as well as keeping the under-eye super hydrated. As this particular product contains bee venom, it really helps to keep the skin feeling/looking firmer as well as hydrated. 

nuxe huile prodiguese multi-usage dry oil

Last of all we have the final step, which is "moisture" and rather than using a cream formulated moisturiser, i have been simply using this oil by NUXE and is one that i have raved about for months now. I have been obsessed with using facial oils this year, as i find them so much more hydrating/effective for my skin than a regular moisturiser would. I actually did a full first impression/review post, talking all about the multi-usage dry oil which you can catch up on here if you want to know more about the product.

CURRENT GO-TO EVERYDAY BASE MAKEUP

Hello everyone! Seeing as it has been a couple of months since i last shared an "everyday go-to makeup" post, i thought i was about time i gave you all a little update and talk about my current go-to base. Now that we are officially in autumn i have been loving that really naturally glow-y skin look created with the following products, paired with a warm matte brown eye and warm deeper nude lip look.

nuxe huile prodigieuse multi-usage dry oil

So the key to a great base makeup look, doesn't always start with the makeup, it actually starts with skin prep and i have been obsessed with applying some of this dry oil to my face/neck before going in with my rimmel #insta fix & go 2-in-1 primer and setting spray. By applying this oil it really locks in moisture and keeps the skin super hydrated, which is super important if you have normal/dry skin like i do. I actually did a full review post talking all about this particular oil, which you can catch here.

maybelline fit me matte and poreless foundation in the shade 220 natural beige

primark ps pro radiance drops

Moving on-to the foundation that i am literally obsessed with at the moment, which will come to no surprise if you have read quite a few of my previous posts. The fit me foundation from Maybelline is probably my all time favourite foundation, which never lets me down, it lasts all day long, has amazing coverage, is light-weight and it comes in so many different shades, i even own several all depending on how tanned or not tanned i am that day but it will usually be either shade 220 or 128. I also like to add that naturally radiance back into the skin by mixing in a small amount of the ps pro radiance drops, which i featured in a testing primark beauty post.

morphe concealer in the shade oats

Next up is concealer and to go along side a favourite foundation of mine, i usually use the matching concealer which is probably my favourite concealer ever. However i recently ran out and me being me, i have misplaced where i have put the multiple back-ups of the concealer and foundation so i have been forced to reach for something else. I really like this concealer by Morphe as this shade called oats is super brightening, as it has that slight yellow undertone to it. The only drawback is for the under eyes i can be slightly drying on me, but what i have been doing is adding a little hydrating oil to the concealer before blending out. 

rimmel #insta duo contour stick in the shade medium

The one thing i have always been scared about going in with a cream contour product, is that it would look muddy and be hard to blend out but that being said i have finally found a product that is neither of those things. At first i thought how similar they looked to the KKW sticks, as they are dual ended also. The shade i use is medium, which is perfect for me as it isn't too much of a warm shade or too much of a cool toned shade it is the perfect in-between. The actually formula of this stick is super creamy, easy to blend whether you are using a brush or a damp beauty blender. I like to apply mine to not only sculpt the cheeks, but the forehead, jawline and nose.

makeup revolution liquid highlighter in the shade luminous gold

So if you have read the majority of my posts recently, then you will probably know how much i am loving this liquid highlighters recently and the reason for that being is they give you the most natural looking healthy glow, rather than being too much of a glitter-y highlighter. My favourite way to apply this is dot onto the areas i want the product to go, like the highest points of my face, tip of my nose and cupids bow before blending out with a damp beauty blender and before i set anything into place with powders.

maybelline fit me matte and poreless powder in the shade translucent

Talking of powders the first "powder-like" product i always go in with is a setting powder and this particular one is a favourite of mine at the moment, also shock horror another fit me product but i just find they all work so well together. As i have normal to dry skin in the cooler months i can get away with just powdering the places i have put concealer, so under my eyes, the centre of my forehead, nose and chin.

makeup revolution skin kiss highlighter in the shade golden kiss

Something i tend to switch up more often and i never stick to the same one all of the time, is highlighter but that being said, i have been reaching for this one a lot recently. The reason for that is i just find it complements the liquid highlighter shade i went in with before, as well as the eye/lip look i have been going for everyday and i mentioned this in a recent budget beauty week: full coverage glow-y base for under £50 post. I will also simply just apply highlighter to the exact same places as i did the liquid version, just to set everything into place and add a further glow/radiance to the skin.

bareMinerals invisible bronze bronzer in the shade medium

Finally to finish the skin off we have bronzer, as i have been skipping on the blush recently. The beauty of bronzer is it really brings warmth and shape back into the face, as well as setting the areas i applied the cream contour. This particular bronzer has been pretty much my go-to ever since i finally got my hands on one, it is literally so flawless looking once applied to the skin and it also lasts all day long without fading like some bronzers can do. Then to finish off all i will do is apply some of my #insta fix & go to set all of the makeup in place, to make it last all day long and keep it looking freshly applied.

THE MULTI-PURPOSE OIL I CAN'T PUT DOWN

Hello everyone! A while back i shared with you a current beauty wishlist: skincare edition post and in that post, i mentioned how i wanted to try out a specific dry oil. The oil i am of course talking about is the ever so famous Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Use Dry Oil by NUXE, which comes in two different formulations the original and a golden shimmer version but the formula i decided to go with is the original.

As i mentioned above this is a multi-usage dry formulated oil, that can be used for the face, body and hair. I have mentioned on many occasions now how much i have really become obsessed with using facial oils (this year mainly), as i just find it is the best product to really hydrate/keep my skin hydrated. That being said so far i have tried so many different oils, some good, some bad but this oil is a game changer for me. Huile Prodigieuse is a dry oil with a unique combination of six different plant oils, including borage, st johnswort, sweet almond, camellia, hazelnut and macadamia to help nourish, repair and soften skin in one use. This product is available in two different sizes in both formula's, 50ML (£17) and 100ML (£29).

I honestly do not have a bad thing to say about this oil, except for maybe the fact it isn't the most travel friendly bottle but i can live with that. I love how much of a luxurious feel this product has, from it's perfume-like packaging, how amazing of a scent it has and not to mention how beautifully makeup sits and leaves your skin feeling once applied. As this product is a dry formulated oil, it sinks into the skin quickly/effortlessly and doesn't leave your face with that "grease" like feeling. Another amazing thing about this product is how you can justify spending a little bit more on it, as a little bit goes a long way and even more if you only use it for one particular thing (like i only use it on my face). This is the only product i have tried from NUXE but i definitely want to try out more from the brand, if you didn't know NUXE is a french natural cosmetics company popular in pharmacy's across the county and has won many award for the first multi-purpose oil titled "prodigieuse".
