Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse Boost


Prodigieuse boost is newer line from well know French brand Nuxe. It was presented in the late summer last year, but in our country just recently. This line is targeted towards women in their late 20s to early 40s to fight first signs of ageing, fight oxidative stress and pollution from environment. Creators searched for inspiration in popular Korean beauty.

I have mostly good experiences with Nuxe, but hate their cult product - dry oil. Most of their creams are very perfumed and these are not exception, so if strong smell bothers you, do try testers first. Aroma is nice, quite girly – think about white flowers bathing heavy sugar. I bought two products from new line, eye balm and energising primer, which quickly became my favorite.


Lately I’ve been obsessed with eye creams and even built my mini collection. I must say this is not the best one. First of all I don’t like the packaging. It is nice to look at and seems practical, but sometimes the pump simply doesn’t work. It can be so annoying. Eye balm has medium, slightly watery consistency and is not greasy enough for my needs. It is nicely refreshing, but not worth the price. You can find better in drugstore.


Here is the list of ingredients:
AQUA/WATER, ALCOHOL DENAT., DIMETHICONE, GLYCERIN, SODIUM ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, CORYLUS AVELLANA (HAZEL) SEED OIL, OCTYLDODECANOL, LECITHIN, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE, PHENOXYETHANOL, DIMETHICONOL, TOCOPHEROL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, CAFFEINE, RIBOSE, SODIUM GLUCONATE, DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYALURONATE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, JASMINUM OFFICINALE (JASMINE) FLOWER EXTRACT, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, MICA, CI 77491/IRON OXIDES, CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER EXTRACT, FAEX EXTRACT/YEAST EXTRACT [N3901/A]



Energising primer is a different story to me. It is my unexpected favorite skincare product and additional step in my daily routine. I use it every night after cleansing and before I put on my regular moisturizer. It doesn’t make me greasier, so this is a huge plus. It supposed to be full of antioxidants, so it’s nice to have a feeling that you’re doing something good for your skin. It has so pleasant cooling effect and makes you feel so fresh. Formula is very watery and becomes sticky when you apply it, but that doesn’t bother me. One pump is enough for my entire face and neck. Yes, this is first time that I pay some attention to my neck also, shame on me. Packaging is very nice and practical; the bottle contains 100ml and will last me for quite some time. I would highly recommend this for some extra pampering if you only use your basic moisturizer, but you’re not into serums.

Ingredients mentioned on their website:
AQUA/WATER, GLYCERIN, ALCOHOL DENAT., PPG-26-BUTETH-26, PHENOXYETHANOL, RIBOSE, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL*, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, XANTHAN GUM, CHONDRUS CRISPUS/CARRAGEENAN, ASCORBYL GLUCOSIDE, SODIUM GLUCONATE, GELLAN GUM, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID, SODIUM HYALURONATE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, JASMINUM OFFICINALE (JASMINE) FLOWER EXTRACT, ARGININE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, MICA, CI 77491/IRON OXIDES, CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER EXTRACT, FAEX EXTRACT/YEAST EXTRACT, TOCOPHEROL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, LINALOOL, CITRONELLOL, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE [N3905/A] *dérivé d’huile de ricin

Yet another expensive list

Welcome to May! A brand new fresh month also means a great excuse to make yet another wish list of things that recently caught my attention. And this is also my birthday month, so I can splurge a bit more. No? Let’s start with something puffy and blue-  Pinko Quilted Nappa leather flat bag . This looks fancier than your usual everyday bag but can be totally worn on many occasions, even if you just go grocery shopping. Why not? Dark blue is gorgeous, very fashionable, and would pair nicely with a plain T-shirt and jeans or your favorite spring dress. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Lumiere eye and cheek palette  – it is that time of the year again and Estee Lauder is out with another Bronze Goddess collection. This palette surprised me because it is not that warm and bronzy. I love that they also included cool-toned shades and that way it is more versatile. I don’t like the ˝cheek˝ part in the middle, I think it is not practical- I mean how can you reach it with a face brush? Anywa...

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram)       Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines.  I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones.   She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fia...

Lego: Bouquet of Roses - Botanical Collection

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses  was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself.  This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...
