Nuxe is a French skin care brand which fairly recently hit the Australian shelves of Priceline, there has been quite a lot of only hype surrounding the brand so I was excited to try it out for myself.  If you are a lover of French skin care then you are probably already be a fan of Nuxe, and would have tried there cult favrouite Reve De Miel Lip Balm. The chic packaging and botanical ingredients were the first two things I was instantly drawn to, giving the brand a very natural aesthetic and vibe. 

Nirvanesque is the line of first defence anti-aging products from Nuxe aimed at the 30+  market, the products target the first signs of aging from 'expression lines' and if you are like me that is from a lot of laughing. The products are filled with super charged plant botanical ingredients like Mauve Root, Acmelia, Rose Muscat Oil. The packaging is all 100% recyclable and 61% lighter which is great for travelling.

Merviellance will be available from September in Australia as Nuxe's lastest release aimed towards women over the age of 40 with all skin types. The range is packed with dermal proteins to help skin which has already started aging due to time, photo and light damage. Combining the serum which gives skin an instant tightening feeling and lift packed with Hyaluronic Acid to plump skin and the Correcting Cream will help mature skin absorbs moisture and improve texture. I'll be passing these 2 products on to my Mum to test out, and might get her to do a little review on BG.....So stay tuned.

If you have been curious about trying French skin care products then Nuxe is a natural and eco-friendly brand to start with at any age.

Bioderma Sébium Range Review

Bioderma Sébium is available from www.priceline.com.au

The French just do some things better than rest of the world - Pastries, Champagne, Nonchanlant attitudes and Skin Care. Over the past month I have been trialling the new (well new to the Australian market) Bioderma Sébium range, which is targeted to oily and acne prone skin. The technology that has gone in to creating this range is phenomenal, when it was explained to me at the product launch I felt like I was in a year 10 chemistry class. With all the science in the world aside, all that really matters is if the products work, right?! Below is my review of the full range of Bioderma Sébium range for your reading and skin care curious pleasure. If I had to pick a star product of the range it would be the Foaming Cleansing Gel, I have noticed a difference to my skin by using this daily in my skin care routine.

Bioderma Sebium H20 Cleansing Water $29.00/250ml

For the past year my first step in my evening skin care routine is to take my makeup off with a Bioderma soaked cotton round. I had been using the Bioderma H20 Crealine with the pink lid, which is gentle enough on my eyes to not sting when removing the massive amounts of mascara I wear on a daily basis. The Bioderna Sébium cleansing water is similar but I feel it gives an extra freshness to the skin, it effortlessly removes face makeup but also gives any areas which are breaking out an extra little detox cleans. I have however found this too irritating to use to remove my eye makeup so I will stick to the original for that.

Bioderma Sebium Exfoliating Scrub $24.99/100ml 

This is a very granulated scrub which I love to using to get an extra clean face before applying a face mask once or twice a week. But if I am just using it in the shower I tend to focus the scrub just in my T-zone where I am most oily. 

Bioderma Sebium Purifying Foaming Cleansing Gel $24.99/200ml 

For me this has been the stand out product of the range, it has reduced the amount of oil my skin is producing and I love how clean my face feels after using it. Using 2 pumps of the Bioderma Cleansing Gel on my Clarisonic has been the most effective way of applying it to get good results. Maybe because the brush works the gel into the skin more? I don't know but I love it.

Bioderma Sebium Mat Anti-Shine Fluid  $27.99/40ml 

I have terrible luck with mattifying primers, maybe it is because I have the oiliest skin of all time? This primer does smooth out flaws and pores for about 10mins after I have applied it looks great but then my oily skin breaks through again. It would be better suited to an oily combination skin, or anyone who is less oily than me.

Bioderma Sebium AKN Fluid $24.99/40ml

If you are like me and have areas of your face which break out in more than others and you are looking for a product which you only need to apply to a targeted area then this is your guy! For me my chin is the spotty zone of my face which just gets bombarded with spots every month at that time, so applying this under my moisturiser has made a difference in the time it takes for a break up to heal and pass.

Pourquoi est le français soins de la peau toujours si diablement bon?!

EVE LOM : Kiss Mix Créme Pour Les Lévres

Eve Lom's Kiss Mix $30.00 available from www.meccacosmetica.com.au

This is one of those products that when taken out of your bag in front of friends gets some kind of intrigue...'Kiss Mix?' 'What's that?' 'Who have you been making out with?' etc...

It is a very cute and delicate pot of the most minty fresh lip balm you will ever try, it tingles on the lips and has a very slight peppermint smell. The tingle makes me feel like it is doing something, maybe it's the Zinc Oxide which acts as a natural sunscreen protecting lips from UV rays.

My favourite thing about Kiss Mix is the beautiful iridescent shimmer which gives your lips a very pretty sheen, especially on your cupids bow. I have been applying it under lipsticks to sheer them down  to a glossy tint or wearing it on its own day to day.
Posh lip balms are becoming a very popular staple in my makeup bag at the moment with By Terry's Baume de Rose and Dior's Créme de Rose on my shopping wish list when my beloved Kiss Mix runs out.
