◊ Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
July 2, 2009
I’m sitting pretty in front of my laptop in France.
Traveling across the pond wasn’t an easy task, specially with a 4 and 7 years old AND an 8hr delay in London!
By the time we got to Paris I thought I was going to lose it. 
10hrs of sleep later and the yuminess of a pain au chocolat (actually a couple) we’re all back on our feet. Hooray.
I made first European purchase.
I had read about the merits of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse online and was intrigued.
Apparently, their products are staple in French women’s bathroom and advertised everywhere. My Mom loves and uses them daily, and if there’s something I trust about my Maman is her know-it-all in regard to beauty products. At 67 she is one well put together lady.
In France do as the French… I entered a pharmacy and got my hands on l’huile.
Why You’ll Love It…
The formula combines 30% of precious plant oils (borage, St Johnswort, sweet almond, camelia, hazelnut, macadamia) and vitamin E, to repair and nourish body, hair and face. It also contains small golden mineral particles that will make your skin lightly shimmer, it’s gorgeous. The oil is suitable for all skin types, penetrates pretty much instantly leaving no greasy residue behind, and the golden flecks won’t rub off on your clothes. The oil scent is discreet, sweet, like almond honey.
Why I Didn’t…
Right off, I wasn’t crazy about the smell in the bottle, but since it was so faint I figured it would be OK. Wrong.
I don’t know if it was because of my skin chemistry, but the almond honey scent turned into an annoying floral that made me nauseous every time I got a whiff of it. Word of warning, I’m weird when it comes to fragrances, so try it out for yourself…. It did make my skin look amazing.
Huile Prodigieuse ($39) can be found in the USA at Beautyexclusive.com Let me know if you like it.
Live gorgeously.

LOOKS like a great product, but I have an easily-annoyed nose, too. Especially honey fragrances.
That is indeed a great product. I tried it again hoping I would get use to the scent… What was I thinking? I had to scrub myself down twice in the shower!
I got that a few years ago. must be used sparingly. I use a dry cotton ball and swipe it on arms and legs first, then use whatever is left on the neck and chest. Another trick is not to use lotion first!
