Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse: I never saw your point until I ran out of moisturizer. People raved about you, my French roommate had a bottle of you, but with my acne-prone skin and oily hair the only thing I thought was "more oil, really?" I kept the free sample I had just for the incredible (truly incredible) smell.
Then, with winter and dry winter skin fast approaching, I put you on after wiping my face at night with Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil Facial Pads (http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp?ItemID=146802). They're really wonderfully scrubby and exfoliating and feel like they're killing all sorts of bacteria and cleaning out your pores—maybe that's the medicinal smell talking—but they are terribly drying. That's where you come in, Huile Prodigieuse. When put on my dry, freshly washed face, it sank right in without the slightest oily sheen or stains on my pillow. I tried it the next day when I got out of the shower—same thing. It didn't even interfere with my makeup. The only trick seems to be to put it on freshly washed, dry skin. I've tried putting it on after applying moisturizer or serum and it just sits there all oily until I wipe it off.
I'm now on day five of my twice-daily Huile routine, and my skin just has a certain...je ne sais quoi.
If it didn't seem to last forever (I haven't made a dent in my tiny 10ml bottle) I'd love to buy the adorable 20th anniversary edition on sale until tomorrow at Vente Privee for $28.
