Ok so I need to set the scene ... indulge me! You may have been aware that over the Easter weekend Marks & Spencer had an offer of 20% off selected beauty lines. I procrastinated for what seemed like an eternity over the Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse Daily Defence DD Cream which had grabbed my attention for a while and seemed like an ideal product for the Summer. Reading this post over on Really Ree only made me want it more, I was inclined to go for the Medium shade but only having seen swatches online (it wasn't available instore in M&S a couple of weeks ago) it was difficult to make a decision. I even tweeted Ree about it (what am I like!) and she reckoned it would be best to wait until I could swatch. So I gave up the goat and ordered a few skincare items instead ... I then headed off to M&S this week to pick said items up!
Pure Super Grape Overnight Treatment Oil, Super Active Moisturiser, and Eye Serum - very reasonably priced (take a look here) and there are some good reviews on each one so looking forward to trying them out!
It must have been 'a sign' then that the Nuxe DD cream was just sitting there (nonchalantly!) as I walked past the beauty department. Well it had to be done ... I swatched the Medium - have to say it came up richer/deeper than expected but after trying a little on my kite I bit the bullet. I then ended up buying a little travel kit as well when I learned from the assistant that there was an offer of a free gift with any two Nuxe purchases (this must be instore only as I can't find it online) - either a choice of skincare items or a full size of the Prodigieux Le Parfum. I chose Le Parfum - it smells amazing - of summer - (like the Huile Prodigieuse) and is worth £43! What a fantastic offer? The girls instore told me the offer is on until 14 April so there's still time to check out your local M&S store if you're interested!
Are you a fan of Nuxe products? Have you tried the Prodigieux Le Parfum? Will you be popping off to M&S?

Do you know what,move never tried anything before of this brand, what's going on?! Some great buys there, I'll have to take a better look next time I'm in Markies x
ReplyDeleteI know what's wrong with you Sarah? Definitely worth a look when there's an offer on! xx
DeleteM&S really do have a great beauty department these days don't they?! I stroll through from time to time but must remember to make it a stop! I've heard good things about Nuxe but never tried them! I'm a one pot kind of girl as you know & my bathroom cupboard would bore you senseless Jenny!! x
ReplyDeleteThey do Andrea and so often overlooked! I think my bathroom cabinet would drive you mad - too many things open! xx
DeleteOh I'm so behind the game where lotions and potions are concerned. I've been meaning to ask you for any recommendations for moisturisers with a gradual tan builder-upper!! Have you ever come across any amazing ones Jenny?? x
ReplyDeleteIf you mean for the face Andrea it's not something I've used for a good while but I'll keep a lookout. I do like the Dove body lotion with gradual tanner though - goes on great and smells good! xx
DeleteI have a Nuxe body wash which I've not used yet but I've heard great things about their products so I'm looking forward to using it. Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteThey have some lovely products in their range Lynne - I'd like to try them all! xx
