NUXE Goodie bag

Hey dolls,





A few weeks back I attended the NUXE blogger event, you can see the post on the event here. At the end of the event you were given a gift bag of goodies, here are the lovely things I got.




In the bag:
  •  NUXE notebook
  • A leaflet on the brand
  • Rêve de Miel Hand and Nail Cream
  • Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil
  •  Crème Fraîche de Beauté Normal sensitive skins
  • Poster signed by Charlotte Du Jour (not pictured)

 QUENCHES, SOFTENS

Over the last however many years I've used my Simple face cream like 99% of the time  and haven't really branched out to many other brands. This is mainly due to the fact that I have really sensitive and very dry skin. This is a rich nourishing 24 hour facial moisturiser which does what it says on the tin and it sinks into the skin really well. I've tried a few creams and they feel like the just sit on the surface and dont really do anything. I've been incorporating this into my daily facial routine and I'm really liking it. A great thing about this moisturiser is that cos its so rich you don't need much of it.


REPAIRS, NOURISHES AND PROTECTS

We all know that I love my Avon hand and nail cream but I think this will take its place (until it runs out haha). This hand cream is brilliant, so nourishing and rich. And you only need a small amount for maximum moisture.


MULTI-USAGE DRY OIL

I've only used Avon's skin so soft dry oil spray. I've never been a dry oil user cos I've never really seen the point of using one. But I thought I've gibe this a go and see if I could make it work. And I'm glad I decided to cos I love it, after I shower I spritz my skin with this and use it as a base for my body cream. You can use this for the face, body and hair.

 Nuxe products are available here.

NUXE blogger event

Hey dolls,



*WARNING THIS IS GOING TO BE A PICTURE HEAVY POST*
(But there is some writing so do carry on scrolling)

At the end of May before the bank holiday I was lucky enough to attend the NUXE blogger event.

To be honest I hadn't heard much about the brand before attending, but as a blogger you see bits and bobs here and there, but nothing I'd taken in for content. But the whole evening was very informative. We got to try some of the products that were sprinkled around the event.

As its a french brand the whole event had a parisian theme, it was really nice and the atmosphere was really calming/welcoming.

The word NUXE comes from a mix of the words "Nature" and the french word for luxury "Luxe". Nuxe is all bout using the natural goodness that the earth provides in their products.








 They had this lovely fountain at the event which had a few NUXE beauty items scattered over it.








They had some tasty nibbles, more specifically the famous Laduree macarons. But I think the tarts were the best.














I got to meet the lovely Charlotte Du Jour who illustrated the NUXE images that were placed all over the party. She also signed some posters for everyone, which I still have happily all packaged up cos I don't wanna ruin it :)


It was a lovely evening and I found some good products that I would like to try out in the future. 

I fell in love with the Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm, it smelt so good I wanted to eat it. It was so good for my lips, very moisturising.

Keep an eye out for a review on the products I got from the goodie bag.
