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?

Also, speaking of blog sales, please come back tomorrow evening for 

MY FIRST BLOG SALE !!!!!!

NUXE HUILE PRODIGIEUSE OR

The things I am getting use to since my move has been...
Bad food (apart from the Indian),
Billywitches, hideous hair clenching bugs only local to east anglia, great!,
Horrible exchange rates, 
and dry/sun lacking skin.


I can cope with it all apart from the Billywitches, thank god they leave at the end of June lol.


Fake tans are a huge deal here and I can understand why, but I'm just not a fake tan type of chic, not since I turned 22 have I done the fake tanning either in the beds or spray, so when I started to get worried about the hue of my skintone these days, I found this product and have been researching about it.


At £23, I need to make sure that I want it, and indeed I do!


Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or, or in plain english...Shimmering gold oil.


The company's description reads as such:


The NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Or Multi Usage Dry Oil gives a golden shimmer to your face, body and hair.This oil leaves your face and body soft and velvety, whilst your hair becomes supple, glossy and full of volume. Thanks to its small golden particles, your skin is left nourished with a subtle yet sexy golden sheen.

So my wish list continues to grow lol

I hope to be able to return with a review on this item. I'm just waiting for some sort of promotion or sale to pick this baby up, but according to the reviews, everyone seems to love it! I hope so.
