WHAT IS IT: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

THE PRODUCT(S):

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil: With its unprecedented concentration of 6 Precious Plant Oils and Vitamin E. this fast-absorbed, comprehensive formula leaves skin feeling satiny-soft and adds gloss and suppleness to hair in a single step.

I absolutely adore how this dry oil comes in a spray nozzle version. This practically means that there is unnecessarily spills, especially when I lug a bag around and my bag is so full of my daily vanity stuffs.

Take a look at the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, despite it being a oil, it doesn't look oily nor greasy after pumping it onto my hand. I love oils such as this that isn't oily nor greasy. And the best part? I didn't even need to wash my hands with soap nor water. It was instantly absorbed into my skin before I even realize it :D

Nuxe actually has a range of other products, but currently, I am just aiming for the Multi-Purpose Care items. So many to try, not enough money to buy. The woes of a single female D:

I think I found myself staring at this particular page for way too long, according to my mother. It just made me salivate, knowing that this multi-purpose oil can do so much wonders for my skin *o*

VERDICT: First of all, the scent. It is an all important process of testing, trying and reviewing a product. I personally tend to sniff it a few dozen million times to get my inspiration right. *pauses for effect* I just absolutely adore this scent, it is definitely divine and many times, I almost cave in to my basic temptation and attempt to lick it off my skin. Yes! I have this uncontrollable urge to lick yummy smelling products if they smell so heavenly. And the best part of it all is that, despite after application, I still catch myself sniffing my skin on and off until I cannot smell it anymore.

The scent smells like a cross between flowery and sweet, but thankfully, it isn't the nauseous type of sweet. I've encountered various products that have this wonderful sweet smell, but over time, it just escalates to the point where I feel like I need to empty out my guts cos the sweetness of it is just too overpowering. However, in the case of this Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, it is different. I simply just cannot get enough of the scent at all, and some nights, I just really want to spritz a few drops onto my pillow just to have a better night's sleep with this heavenly scent. But then, I would probably use it way faster than a normal typical person, so I'm just going to avoid the temptation to do so.

What I love about the overall product is that, the spray nozzle does't drizzle at all. There are products out there that comes in spray nozzle versions, but most times, the product drizzles and oozes out and onto the bottle and practically almost everywhere after you dispense a few drops. But not in this case, I am pleasantly and surprisingly happy to find out that this doesn't drizzle unnecessarily after a few precious sprays. Oh yes, the spray nozzle is an important function in oil-based products. Nobody want unnecessarily spills, whether the product is expensive or cheap, well-known or not. Another reason why I am falling in love with this product.

The areas of my body which I use this wonderful product is mainly on my limbs, oh man, I have such dry limbs. And I am surprised that I haven't even seen my cracks on my skin due to the dryness of it. After diligently applying it onto my arms and legs after each shower for a good 2 weeks, I realized that my skin felt so much more supple and smoother to the touch. I dare say it's almost equivalent to touching a baby's skin LOL And also recently, I've shunned hair products meant for split and dry ends, and instead started using this on the ends of my hair. And am I impressed with it too.

Despite being an oil product, it is in fact a dry oil. Hence it doesn't make my hair feel heavy, oily nor greasy at all. We all know that hair is a woman's crowning glory and even if you take good care of our skin and body, inside and out, sometimes, we actually neglect out hair as well. Let's just say I've recently received lots of compliments on my hair on how healthy and thick it looked, as compared to several years back, when my hair looked so frumpy and limp. This is definitely a big improvement overall, as I also found out. And the scent on my hair, people were actually asking if I had my hair professionally treated or whatsoever, but my secret is simply Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

And also because my heels are overly dry and cracked to the point of being painful when I sleep at night. Imagine sleeping on your side and being awoken abruptly in the middle of the night, partly because your cracked heel slid across your legs and it felt so uncomfortable. But after using this for close to 2 weeks on my heels before bed at night, my heels look so much better. It's as if my heels were never dry and cracked in the first place. Heck! I even received compliments on my feet too, since I tend to change out of my work shoes into flip flops after work.

Let's just say there is so many ways to use this product, but I am only listing a few on problem areas of my skin and body that I am sharing. In short, instead of lugging so many items or even buying so much beauty products, you just only need the ultimate one. And this Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil is the one to get. Notice that this bottle can last me until December 2018, that is so much money saved on beauty products for so many years. And I think I am on the verge of urging everyone I know to just get this one miracle bottle of dry oil, instead of spending so much money on so many different products.

VERDICT: ✓✓✓

WHAT I THINK: You can use it on your hair, your face, with your make-up, your body, even in your bath water. The usages are just endless with this one small bottle, in fact, I think the price is justified too.

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Nuxe Singapore is constantly giving out trial samples and trial kits. So, I would urge you to be a fan of Nuxe Singapore Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/nuxe.sg. Just go get the samples and try it, you will not be disappointed in giving this a try. And if you don't, all I can say is that, you are missing out so much from this miracle bottle.

Samples Received/Redeemed: 28 Jan - 31 Jan 2013

A somewhat good week, if I really had to compare with the previous 2 weeks if samples, freebies and goodies are considered into the equation. And well, I'm always a curious kitty somehow, despite knowing that the samples for this current issue of Feeling magazine by Guardian isn't really in the Wow! category. But still, I am curious to know more about a particular sample which sells really expensive in terms of retail price.

Without further ado, here's my show and tell for this week's Sample + Haul, with inclusion of a NTUC haul on hair products mostly.

By now, we all are aware of the fact that Guardian's magazine, Feeling, costs only a mere S$1.00 every quarterly issue. And each time, there's always a few samples within and each time without fail, there will always be a travel-size toothpaste..

This quarter's issue comes with:

• Darlie Expert White Short Survey @ http://www.darlieexpertwhite.com/
• S$1 Coupon, usable with every purchase of Darlie Expert White toothpaste 120g
• Darlie Expert White toothpaste x 1 @ 40g

Alongside with:

• NUXE Huile Prodigieuse® Multi Usage Dry Oil x 1 @ 4ml
• Palmer's Skin Success Eventone Fade Cream Ultra x 1 @ 5g

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Available at all Guardian outlets throughout Singapore for a mere cost of S$1.00 only. Next issue will only be out in April 2013 :)

It was rather surprising to receive something from Cetaphil Singapore a good 2 weeks before CNY. And I was practically hoping it's not another Cetaphil voucher, since Cetaphil products are expensive. It actually makes more sense to buy in bulk when there's a discount instead of buying them during a non-discount season. I think what's even worse is the fact that the value of the voucher is rather low too. Imagine I am buying a few hundred dollars worth of Cetaphil products and I can only get a discount of S$5.00? Urgh, no thanks, I'd rather not buy any Cetaphil products in that case.

So, imagine my surprise when I opened up the envelope carefully and see something pink with auspicious Mandarin words on it.

Ang Pao packets. Woohoo! Now that's actually more like it :) This is the front of the Ang Pao packet.

And this is the back of the Ang Pao packet.

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: None. You need to have to redeem Cetaphil sample(s) prior and have your mailing address on Cetaphil's system for them to send it to you. If not, oh well... :(

So, Ying Ying saw this first (or was this the other way round?) and it was a mass sharing event. Which culminated to me asking "How to get the sample ah?" Turns out, the poster had the details, in which we were supposed to SMS our details as requested for a sample. On the other hand, being shortsighted is good, as you can pinpoint the blurness and the occasional blur-related mistake(s) to "shortsightedness" xD

Anyhoo, when I saw this envelop less than a full week after SMS-ing my deets, I was rather surprised to see this in the mailbox so soon. And yep, although it's only just 1 (*inserts sad troll face*), better than none lah~ Ahahaha xD

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Anyway, I'm not really sure if it's too late, but it is still worth a try and send in an SMS. It doesn't hurt not do you lose your flesh nor blood just from trying. I've been trying to get a sample from Guardian's Feeling magazine a few issues back, but to no avail. Until I saw this FB flyer, and like I always like to "preach", "Never Say Die Ah".

Go over to http://on.fb.me/TpbNXB and follow the SMS instructions you see on the online flyer. If there's sample stocks left, you should receive your sample in under a week.

From left to right:

• Essential Nuance Airy Conditioner x 1 @ 560ml
• Essential Nuance Airy Treatment x 1 @ 180g
• Rexona Women Powder Dry with Talc Essence x 1 @ 150ml
• Garnier PureActive Fruit Energy Daily Energizing Gel Scrub x 1 @ 150ml

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Nope. No samples for this one, you have to buy them from NTUC supermarket(s). Even better if you have a NTUC card as you can accumulate points for your purchase(s).

Why not like my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PuNiaosProductReviews to be informed of latest samples I found, which is duly updated? Also includes updates to contests that I've sourced out for you to join. It will definitely save you the trouble of having to hunt them down :)
