Review: Nuxe & Caudalie Shower Gels
Friday, March 28, 2014
I was very kindly sent a few products from the lovely people at Farmaline which is a online pharmacy based in Belgium that sell a wide range of skincare (particularly french skincare) that you cannot really find in the UK. For more information on my disclaimer, click here, honesty as always.
Caudalie Fleur De Vigne Shower Gel (£8.02, 200ml): I have the fragrance from Caudalie of this scent and I adore it. The scent is so fresh - it smells like freshly cut grass and a summers day! The shower gel packaging is great and the delivery time was fantastic (super fast delivery). The shower gel lathers really well so you only need a small amount each time and the scent is just heaven, perfect for this time of the year. It leaves my skin smooth, clean and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. Overall, I love Caudalie as a brand and every product from them (apart from one) has been amazing, including this one. ★★★★★, 5/5 stars!
Nuxe Fondant Shower Gel (£7.22, 200ml): If you are not a fan of super fresh, almost herbal scents then this one may be for you. I haven't tried any other Nuxe shower gels but I need too now. This one is soap free so if you are sensitive to soap, this one may be one to try. The scent is just gorgeous, it smells like sugared almonds, vanilla, marshmallow - so lush, girly and sweet! I adore the scent of both shower gels. As with the Caudalie shower gel, this one lathers really well too, you only need a small amount. So even though they are a little expensive, you do get a lot of product and a little does a long way with these two shower gels. ★★★★★, 5/5 stars.
Have you tried either of these shower gels before?

Review: Bioderma Sensibio Soothing Mask
Monday, March 10, 2014
Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands, I have been using Bioderma Sebium Micelle Solution to remove my makeup for about three years now (on and off) and I adore it - I bought a two 500ml pack while on holiday in Corsica for around €15 which is incredible. But Bioderma is not that widely available at all in the UK but I recently found a fantastic website full of french skincare such as Bioderma and so much more - it is Farmaline.co.uk. I was very kindly sent a few items to review from Farmaline although this does not affect my opinion of the brands/products, for more information about my disclaimer, click here.
Farmaline is a pharmacy that ships to the UK at really low prices - so much cheaper than French online pharmacies - approx. £6/7 shipping or delivery is free if you spend £75. Farmaline is based in Belgium and the delivery was very fast!
I am a massive fan of French skincare from Bioderma and Caudalie to Vichy, Avene and Aderma - all of which are sold by Farmaline. For this review I have the *Bioderma Sensibio Soothing Mask for sensitive and intolerant skin (75ml, £13.48). I have tried a few products from Bioderma such as the Sebium micelle solution, Hydrabio micelle solution, Atoderm PO Zinc Soothing Cream and the Atoderm foaming gel - all of which I love.
I haven't tried a new face mask (or any actually) for a long time as I had a very bad experience with the I Love...Strawberries Mask last year - I would never recommend that mask, it ruined my skin for about a month! Anyway, I have tried a few Bioderma products before so I wasn't worried about this one at all, Bioderma is a fantastic brand for sensitive skin. I have used this mask four times and I love it. It just looks like a white cream moisturiser and you apply a layer after cleansing and let it absorb for about 10 minutes then wipe off the excess. I use the Avene water spray on a cotton pad to remove it.
I find this mask does not irritate my skin at all! It feels nice and smooth on the skin, it doesn't really have a scent to it and the mask is very quick and easy to use. There is no mess with this mask, it is a cream and once it has absorbed it leaves my skin feeling soothed, moisturised and nourished. Overall, I am very happy with this mask, it is fantastic for sensitive and dry skin types. I would highly recommend it, I will be buying a new tube from Farmaline when this one runs out. ★★★★★, 5/5.
Have you bought anything from Farmaline before? Have you tried any products from Bioderma?
