  • Luxury Scented Nuxe’s Prodigieux Eau de Parfum

    Fragrances. I think it’s safe to say most of us love a good body mist, eau de toilette, eau de parfum or a body spray. Whatever form it comes in we buy them and use them either daily or save for special occasions. I’m probably a bit of a hoarder when it comes to this type of product. So I’m not surprised I forgot I even owned Nuxe Prodigieux Eau de Parfum. I originally bought this in a gift set when it was on sale after Christmas, which also contained a shower oil and body lotion.

    Why did I buy this?

    Nuxe skincare, body products and fragrances aren’t the cheapest of products. So to get a gift set that contained products that I wanted to try and at a great price isn’t something I was going to pass up.

    Packaging

    30ml of eau de parfum is housed in a thin glass bottle with a gold lid. The bottle itself is quite simple in look but beautiful, and mirrors the style of the box it comes in. Both have an ombre effect, as the base is a gorgeous copper colour and gets lighter to the point it’s clear in the bottle but the box is gold. Elegant, sophisticated and quite expensive in look.

    Fragrance

    This is what I would call quite a classic scent. It’s feminine, floral with the tiniest hint of citrus, musk and vanilla. The floral element for me stands out more. It’s not all fresh and flowery as it has a warmth to it, This makes it a richer, heavier scent rather than a light and whimsical one.

    Strength & Longevity

    I assumed this would be very strong and possibly linger in an overpowering way regardless of how much I used. Strangely enough this wasn’t the case at all. I could smell this all day when I wore this in work but it was subtle and pleasant, and didn’t make me feel like a walking fragrance counter from a department store. So strength is medium with great longevity.

    Recommended?

    This is not only a beautifully presented fragrance, but it smells just as good too. It would appeal to many people of different ages. But ideal for those who want a fragrance to smell traditional, timeless and not dictated by trends or gimmicks. I’m so glad I took the plunge and got this fragrance. Compared to other fragrances in my collection, this one I don’t feel would date and would be quite timeless so this gets a massive thumbs up from me.

    Available direct from Nuxe here for £30.00.

  • Anti-ageing Nuxe Anti-Fatigue Moisturising Eye Cream

    A good eye product is the holy grail for anyone who suffers with dark circles, wrinkles or general tired looking under eyes. I’m definitely one of those people and have tried lots of different gels, serums and creams over the years. Wanting to improve how my under eyes look and feel, I thought it would try a new product to see if it would help. This is why I bought Nuxe’s Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream. I bought this during the January sales at half price at a cost of £7.50 for 15ml.

    Nuxe Anti-Fatigue Moisturising Eye Cream
    What is this supposed to do?

    This is aimed at tired/stressed eyes. Helping the eye area be more hydrated, combat dark circles and reduce the look of puffiness.

    How to use

    Lightly massage product around eyes morning and night.

    Packaging

    Quite simple, clean in look. Boxed but the actual product comes in a handy pump action tube which means you can take out exactly how much you need. Very importantly, your fingers only come into contact with the product when you pump it out rather than sticking your finger in a jar. Very hygienic and practical.

    Texture

    Although it’s a cream, it feels more part cream part serum. Off white in colour and has a decent thickness to it. When applied or even when sat between my fingers, it sort of melts slightly. Easy to apply and sinks in quickly. Doesn’t leave eyes looking greasy or wet.

    Fragrance

    Its such a lovely scent. Quite clean, soothing, very relaxing, almost baby powder like with an added sweetness to. Obvious but not strong and not one you can continue to smell sometime after application. This really made me enjoy using this and makes me hope their body products have a similar scent too.

    On the eyes

    I applied this under the eyes and around my brow bone and immediately it had a cooling effect. Once lightly patted in I felt this area was given a much needed boost of moisture. It already gave me a feeling of instant relief. Used in the morning and night time, under my eyes felt better and appearance wise looked less dry and more plumped. Can’t really comment on bags or dark circles as these aren’t major concerns for me, but the hydrating factor gets the thumbs up.

    If you’re suffering from eyes that need to look and feel more alive, this could be for you. Eyes that are dehydrated and tired will in my opinion always look and feel better when they get a good, hard working but gentle product applied to it. This definitely is that! If you have more deeper concerns e.g wrinkles and ageing, you may need a product more tailored to those issues. But this is a lovely eye product which is not only easy to use but pleasurable too.

    A great introduction to this brand for me and i would love to try more from the range.
