Hi Everyone!
Recently, I came across a new beauty blogger, Amelia, and immediately found her beauty recommendations helpful and inspiring. Her blog she talked about French beauty products and how amazingly they work. Not just currently but how French beauty products have been known for years to be the absolute best! Of course when I read this I had to get some French products for myself. These are a few that she recommended and some that I thought looked interesting.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution - Bioderma has become a makeup and beauty lovers staple over the last few years and it really is an amazing product. It removes makeup and cleanses your face at the same time. I usually wash my face first with water and a foaming cleanser, then use this on a cotton pad to remove any last traces of makeup. It can even remove eye makeup! It really leaves your face feeling super clean without feeling tight and dry. Above is the Sensibo range which is made for sensitive skin so, any skin type could use this without irritation. I love this product!
La Roche-Posay Toleriane- I really loved using this moisturizer. It is formulated for sensitive skin and free of fragrance, preservatives and parabens. It left my skin feeling hydrated and is great for a everyday moisturizer as it contains minimal ingredients to help prevent any type of skin reaction. If you did have any type of skin problem, it will help sooth the irritation. Love it!
La Roche-Posey Redermic C- This product sounded really interesting as I read the description on the escentual website. It contains hyaluronic acid to help plump the skin which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It said it was non greasy and you could wear it under make up to help your foundation sit nicely. It sounded pretty perfect to me. After trying it several times, the product would start flaking as I applied my foundation! (fail) So, I decided to used it at night instead. I do feel it hydrated my skin more that other products in the past but I don't think I will be repurchasing :(
Nuxe Reve de Miel lip moisturizing stick is a super moisturizing lip balm that after purchasing and using it, I cannot be without it! Great for anytime but especially during the winter to carry in your purse or pocket. Nuxe also makes a lip balm in a pot that is much thicker and super, super moisturizing which is amazing as well. If you were going try out any of these products, I would definitely get this lip balm! Amazing!
Last but not least, Nuxe Body Long Lasting Deodorant looked like an interesting product to try. It has a pleasant smell and a roll on applicator. I haven't used a deodorant with a roll on in years! I do have to report it really is not a good choice of deodorant if you plan to have a heavy gym work out as it really didn't last but for an easy day of not strenuous activity its just fine. It contains mostly natural ingredients and that's is one reason I was drawn to this product. Probably will not be repurchasing as it really isn't worth the price for what you get in my opinion.
I hope you have enjoyed hearing about these french pharmacy products. You can find these products and many others at Escentual.com . This is one of my new favorite websites! Which product do you want to try?
