Nuxe Aroma Perfection Purifying Cleansing Gel

Hello! I have an empty bottle and a little review to share with you all. I bought Nuxe's Aroma Perfection Purifying Cleansing Gel when I went to France in Easter because although it's not a super difference, it's cheaper across the Channel. So the bottle is empty and I thought I'd share with you exactly what I thought.

Nuxe Aroma Perfection Purifying Cleansing Gel - £14

The cleanser is meant to clear pores and eliminate excess oils. I picked up the one for combination to oily skin which worked great for me, even when my skin was a little dry. It controlled the areas that get a little more oily but didn't dry out my skin at all but if your skin is dry more often you might want to pick one up for dryer or more sensitive skin. Having said that, my skin did not show any signs of irritation while using this and my skin can sometimes go a little off the wall. It's really gentle and isn't heavily scented, just that spa like aroma.

As a teenager, I have pretty blemish prone skin which isn't something that anything that I've found so far can completely clear up. This didn't clear it up either, but it definitely stopped them becoming so red and noticeable which I was thankful for. I have used this most evenings and mornings since Easter and I'm pretty impressed. Not as blown away as I was by the Reve de Miel lip balm (review here) but I think it did what it said on the tin. I'm interested to try more skincare products from Nuxe, such as some of their rose petal facials, a mask or some of their anti-imperfection range. You can get this pretty easily in the UK at the moment as Nuxe has just landed on the shelves of Marks & Spencers! I'd recommend this to those of you with oily or combination skin and you want something light to cleanse with. Tomorrow I need a pick up something from my local pharmacy which has just started doing Korres, La Roche Posay (which I love), This Works, Vichy and Avene which is exciting as they're now super easy to find for me!

15 Second Miracle

Hello! I'm back from France now and wanted to share with you something I've been loving for a while but is so easy when traveling. I have never had an issue with applying oils to my face in the name of skincare and use olive oil for intense make up removing on the odd occasion which is why this Skin Perfection Oil by L'Oreal caught my eye when in Boots.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 15 Second Miracle Cleansing Oil - £5.33

The oil is transparent when first applied to a dry face. I take about 2 pumps and massage this into my eyes before taking another pump all over my face then waiting 15 seconds-ish before wetting my hands and really working it in. When water is added, it turns into a really thin milky oil before rinsing it off. If I have heavy make up on I will need to do this twice, especially to my eyes before all of my make up is off but it's so quick and easy to do. I especially love this for late nights or just before I get in the shower. The product says it 'instantly dissolves waterproof make up' although I never use waterproof make up because it's so hard to get off! However, it removes my Benefit They're Real Mascara which must mean it's pretty good. I find it breaks down my make up really quickly and even if it doesn't remove it the first time, it makes it a lot easier to remove if I were to use something like micellar water afterwards - so quick. The product is also amazingly non-greasy. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized but hasn't got the oily feeling you would expect after rinsing off with water. I find this so quick and easy with a little bit of toner and moisturizer afterwards and I'm good to go! I would definitely repurchase this but note to self: do not loose the lid next time. It makes it super hard to travel with!
