The Nuxe big thing.

I happen to be extremely interested in moisturizing. Not that I have particularly dry skin. It's just, well, after a shower I feel the need to apply multiple products to my body, face, hair etc. You know what I mean.

It reminds me of my friend A., when she was wearing Angel by Thierry Mugler, who said she enjoyed sitting having drinks and being fragrant before dinner.

I buy low end: (Eucerin Calming Cream.) I buy high end: (Fresh: Milk Milk.)

While M. & I were in France after we got married, we had a small amount of money left (not sure how) and N. (my maid of honor) & I were dying to go to the French pharmacy. If you are a product junky, French pharmacies have got the goods. Seriously.

I came upon several brands I enjoy from my visits to Sephora at home, such as Caudalie and Rene Furterer (I bought M. a Furterer hair clay that he really likes) but I had never encountered Nuxe.

Nuxe Multi Usage Dry Oil (en Francais, Nuxe Huile Prodigiuese) is de-lightful. Perfect for summer when lotions melt off of you. You only need a few shakes and it gives your limbs that shine that's almost as good as a tan. It also works well on the cuticles of your toes and makes the polish extra shiny. Apparently you can use it on face, lips, hair and body, but I don't particularly like the taste on my lips.

If you happen to feel like a splurge, the bottle feels extra luxurious (it's glass) and a little mod ( the bottle is square with a white cap and white lettering) and looks extra extra cute on the bathroom shelf. You can find it on beautyhabit.com, $44 for the larger 100ml size (the 50ml size is $29 but on back order.)
