When the irresistible iridescent finish of Huile Prodigieuse® Or meets the uplifting floral notes of Huile Prodigieuse® Florale, the result is the new gem of French pharmacy: Huile Prodigieuse® Or Florale. Discover the era of a new shimmering rosegold glow that beautifies all skin types while infusing them with the benefits of the iconic dry oil.

Radiant appeal: each and every one can choose their own desired glow, with 2 products that perfectly adapt to all skin types and complexions. Both shimmery ‘Or’ oils provide a different finish: the new iridescent rosegold glow of Huile Prodigieuse® Or Florale has cooler highlights that subtly lift the skin, perfect to freshen the complexion, for example. Huile Prodigieuse® Or contains golden pearly particles with warmer tones to create an iridescent golden glow that beautifies all skin types and enhances a tan.

HOW TO USE
Indulge in the irresistible new floral gold to moisturize, smooth and illuminate your face, body and hair in a single step.

Face
You can use these oils as part of your make-up, to give your skin an instant illuminating boost. Dab a few drops gently over your face using your fingertips or a flat brush. Focus on areas that capture the light, such as the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose or the middle of your forehead.

Body
Pour a few drops of golden oil into the palms of your hands or onto a kabuki brush and distribute evenly. Apply as a veil to your legs or as highlights on key points (shoulders, collarbones, décolleté…), its iridescent finish will give your body a beautiful glow all day or all night long.

Hair
Scrunch a few drops into the lengths and sprinkle sparingly over the ends to create pretty highlights that blend into your hair.

Often copied, never rivalled, skin is satin smooth and beautiful. Its dry touch allows you to get dressed quickly after application and its finish on the skin makes the senses melt with pleasure. The uplifting notes of Huile Prodigieuse® Or Florale include zesty Grapefruit, a luminous floral harmony of Orange Blossom/Magnolia and a velvety base of white Musk to create an irresistibly fragrant trail. I love it!

Finally I am on vacation, ready for some days of digital detox which doesn’t mean I am not keeping you updated. I indulge in those carefree days at the beach in the South of France and brought my new CHANEL LES BEIGES summer essentials that embark this season on an oversized journey.

The extravagance of head- to-toe makeup and the radiance of a naturally luminous complexion, CHANEL is thinking BIG this summer with XXL product formats, multiple uses, and ultra-sensorial textures for the face, body, and hair.

SIMPLE, SWEEPING, GENEROUS makeup application.
For a FRESH, LUMINOUS, and effortlessly NATURAL look.

The OVERSIZE HEALTHY GLOW SUN-KISSED POWDER warms the skin, giving it the radiance of a summer day spent by the sea. It offers the freedom to wear it on the face, but also on the shoulders, décolleté, and even the arms and legs. This exclusive creation features a rounded square shape —emblematic of the LES BEIGES line—and its pearly, lightly creamy powder formula comes in three ideal summertime shades.
The new OVERSIZE KABUKI BRUSH completes the experience, for flawless application to the face and body.

Available in three shades:
Sunshine Light – Light satin shade
Sunkiss Medium – Medium satin shade
Sunbath Deep – Deep matte shade

LES BEIGES MAXI POUDRE BELLE MINE ENSOLEILLÉE CHF 90.-
MAXI PINCEAU KABUKI CHF 60.-

My absolute favorite is the HUILE ILLUMINATRICE, that envelops the body in soft copper and gold shimmer. This large-sized (250 ml) dry oil is designed for generous application to the face as well as the hair. It subtly enhances the shoulders, legs, and décolleté. Apply liberally, to your heart’s desire. Skin that reflects the sun’s rays is a sign that summer is here. The sheer shade comes with subtle copper shimmer.

LES BEIGES HUILE ILLUMINATRICE Flacon 250 ml CHF 96.-

This limited edition mini collection is available now to celebrate summer in grand style.

Moisturizing your skin in summer with oils is a great idea and an awesome way of feeling sexy at the beach as you immediately get a beautiful glow. There are two products about which it is obviously not the first time I’m blogging about nor will it be the last that I always pack for my vacation.

First NUXE‘s Huile Prodigieuse® Dry Oil which is for me a cult beauty classic as it is so multi-tasking. It can be used on face, body and hair and smells divine like a bouquet of white flowers. It comes with a unique cocktail of borage, St Johnswort, sweet almond, camellia, hazelnut, macadamia plant oils and Vitamin E. This year as a limited edition in a cute golden dress.
CHF 34.90  (100ml)

Then there is LA MER‘s The Glowing Body Oil with its rich blend of vitamin E, nourishing oils and tiny sparkles that leave a subtle shimmer on your skin to create the perfect sun-kissed glow. This luxurious body oil softens and conditions skin for a youthful luminosity. The sparkles make the difference…
CHF 120.00 (95ml)
