HG Products - Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil

I don't have very many "holy grail" products.  I try things, love them for a bit and then get very bored and never touch them again.  That being said, there are a few products that I've fallen in love with and the honeymoon period didn't end.  This is one of them:


It doesn't look like much, does it?  A little bottle of oil, so what?  But let me tell you, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse could not be more aptly named.  Its an absolute wow of a product.

Its a dry oil, which I didn't really understand until I tried it.  It literally is what it says - an oil, but it doesn't leave you greasy in the same way that baby oil does.  It leaves your skin feeling moisturised without the slipperyness.  

I have what we could best describe as a fickle nose.  If I don't like the smell of something, no matter how expensive or how good, I'm not going to use it.  This product smells absolutely divine.  I can't describe the smell, but Nuxe's website says it contains Borage, St Johns Word, Sweet Almond, Camellia and Hazlenut and Macademia, so I'm guessing its a combination of all of them.

I think the thing I like most about this product is that you can use it for so many things.  Mostly, I use it as a plain on body oil when I get out of the shower as it leaves my skin super soft and smelling fab but I have used it as cuticle oil and bath oil before now, as well as a conditioning treatment on my hair if I've run out of whatever else I'm using.  I've even tried it on my face, mixed in with  my moisturiser in the winter if I felt like I needed a bit of a moisture boost.  They also suggest mixing a drop with your foundation to help it glide on smoothly.

There's another version, which is the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR, which has a gold shimmer in it.  I'm very pale and find it a bit much, but if you've got a tan it'll look gorgeous.

I've got a 50ml bottle which I paid about £25 for - I got mine in John Lewis, but its not on their website anymore.  Space NK do sell it though, so if you're near one you should definitely go and have a look.  If you're anything like me you won't be disappointed.
