For the month of March Escentual.com had up to 30% off French skincare. Wooo! And yes, I did allow myself a quick break from the penny saving.
In the excitement, I almost went a little crazy... 'almost' being key-word. Yes, I did restrain amongst brands such as; La Roche Posay, Nuxe, Bioderma, Filorga, Caudalie... ahhhh so, so many great brands but I digress.
In the end I settled on the following;
NUXE- Rieve de Miel lip balm
I already had this in stick form but this really does live up to the hype and is much better than it's stick form twin. It is much yellow in colour (than stick form), buttery in texture and lasts for hours! Happy with purchase.
La Roche Posay- BB cream in Medium
A friend had recently purchased this and I was curious seeing I love a good tinted moisturiser/BB cream. Let's just say, won't be re-purchasing. It appears that it only comes in one shade 'medium' or at least it was the only shade available when I purchased it. Generally speaking 'medium' is the colour I look for, but I found it too light. It also 'rolls' up in little balls if you rub it in too much into the skin so your hands look like you've been rubbing the dirt off. So weird. Overall- No likey.
A-Derma- EXOMEGA Emollient cleansing oil

A-Derma- EXOMEGA Emollient cleansing oil
Not exactly sure why I purchased if I'm perfectly honest. I blame my manic 'French' frenzy and looked for anything 'cheap'.
Cheap it was, but not really needed, though I will say that this shower oil is bloody fab! By far the surprise stand out and will be brilliant for the winter months in Melbourne.
If you suffer from any dry skin (My calves are the culprit. WTH calves?) this stuff will fix it right up (albeit temporarily). Feels great and leaves skin moisturised without 'oily' residue. Plus smells really nice. Bonus.
Good news! Escentual are running the same promotion again! Shoot over to their site for up to 30% off French pharmacy skincare for the month of June...
