Blog Sale Haul - Nuxe & Chanel

Blog sales are my new favourite thing to do. I love it, but I find that I am always late and missing all the good items, except...this time!

I was lucky to catch Nadia's blog sale over at "It's always summer on the inside", and I actually saw 2 of my wishlist items on her blog sale!! :::Happy dance::::

First I got the 

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR 

(gold shimmering oil) 

I have been wanting to try this so much, but it's a steep price for this baby.

1.6 fl oz is sold at SpaceNK for £23, and the 3.3 fl oz is £37.

Eck! That's why no matter how much I wanted it, I told myself I would get it during Christmas or something, BUT...

I got a 75% full bottle for only £6 (including postage)

Bargain!!!

So I definitely tried it today.

The smell is slightly sweet with a jasmine hint to it, so I looked up the ingredients (I was definitely off lol)

It contains a cocktail of 6 precious plant oils:

Borage

St John's Wort

Sweet Almond

Camellia

Hazelnut

Macadamia

Vitamin E

I'll be honest, this made me a bit nervous when I saw it come out of the bottle like this.

Blame it on the numerous failed self-tanning experiences, but

Instead, I got an almost invisible slightly shimmery layer.

Hmmmm....I think I expected this to be a bit more golden/bronze-y, but instead I just got some oil with some shimmer in it.  It's very subtle, so I know a lot of people will like it; however, I was expecting it to be a bit more pigmented.

My skin feels very smooth/soft, and if you use this, you don't need lotion.

At £23, I would have been disappointed, at £6, not so much.

My next wishlist item that I was able to get off this blog sale was the 

Chanel Life Lumiere Smoothing & Rejuvenating Eye Contour Concealer

No. 30 Abricot Lumiere

Ok, I saved so much money with this product.  I have tried this at the counters and loved loved loved it, but £33 was very steep - so I passed, saving my little sample as best as I could, but I got this at £10!!!!

I was thrilled. I could not for the life of me get a picture good enough to show you a before and after, but let me tell you why I love this product so much

1) Smooth for the skin around your eye

2) Easily application

3) No creasing like some foundations

4) Truly covers my dark circles and puffiness - very pigmented

5) You get a lot of concealer for what you pay

6) Does not irritate my eyes

This is my favourite eye concealer out there!

I can't say enough about it.

I have not used too many eye concealers, but from the ones I have, I have not found one better than this one. 

Honestly, worth the money...I didn't not get it because I didn't think it was worth it, I didn't get it, because £33 was out of my budget at the moment, but £10 is not and this is the best £10 that I spent in a LONG time.

So that was my small blog sale haul. I hope the reviews were useful. 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Do you blog sale? If so, what items have you gotten for a bargain?
