As a beauty journalist, I’ve explored countless products over the years, finding some brands that become staples while others remain intriguing yet untested. Nuxe falls into the latter category. Its famous Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil has always piqued my curiosity, but for some reason, I never took the plunge.
Then, the Look Fantastic x Nuxe Edit beauty box appeared, offering a tempting opportunity to finally experience Nuxe’s renowned products. This £45 package, boasting over £135 worth of Nuxe beauty products, includes four full-size and two deluxe-size items, perfect for both Nuxe enthusiasts and those seeking an introduction.
I jumped at the chance to get an early look at Look Fantastic’s latest beauty box, especially given my positive experiences with their previous offerings. But how would this particular collection measure up?
The box contains:
*
Huile Prodigieuse® Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil (Full-Size):
This iconic product, worth £22, was my first target. As someone with naturally pale skin, I applied a fake tan and used the oil on my arms and chest. Despite initial fears of looking like an Egyptian statue, the result was a subtle, healthy glow. The oil is smooth and gentle, providing hydration without stickiness. A little goes a long way, so the 50ml bottle should last a while. However, it might not be suitable for those with paler skin who don’t use fake tan, as it could lead to product waste. The brand’s Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, a non-tinted alternative, is available for those who prefer a natural finish.*
Super Serum The Universal Age-Defying Concentrate (Full-Size):
Priced at £60, the Super Serum is the box’s most expensive item. It lived up to its luxurious reputation, boasting a delightful light fragrance, invigorating texture, and a radiant finish that left my skin feeling fresh. Just a few drops are needed for the entire face.*
Prodigieuse® Boost Multi-Correction, Glow-Boosting Gel-Cream (Full-Size):
This lightweight gel-cream, worth £33, is designed to enhance skin tone and appearance. It felt refreshing and soft, though its floral aroma was a bit overpowering for my preference. I generally prefer more understated scents for my face.*
3-in-1 Hydrating Micellar Water, Very Rose (Travel-Size):
This travel-sized micellar water, worth £5, is perfect for slipping into your bag or washbag for overnight stays.*
Rêve de Miel Honey Lip Balm (Full-Size):
This balm, worth £12, was a pleasant surprise. While I don’t usually use lip balms, a friend praised Nuxe’s formula, even gifting it to an ex-boyfriend known for dry lips. After applying it, my lips felt instantly nourished, and the effect lasted for hours. This unexpected find quickly became a favorite from the box.*
Rêve de Miel Hand and Nail Cream (Travel-Size):
This travel-sized hand cream, worth £3, is a lovely little indulgence for daily use.Overall, this beauty box provides a fantastic sneak peek into Nuxe’s product range, offering everything you need to achieve a radiant complexion.
