Review: Nuxe Hand and Nail Cream

What They Say: "This ultra-nourishing yet non-greasy cream brings damaged hands and nails a rich complex of powerful repairing, revitalizing and fortifying ingredients.

Product Details:
Sumptuously creamy, it absorbs instantly to leave hands soft, soothed and protected with fortified nails."

Jen's Experience: I don't use a lot of hand cream, mostly because my hands aren't usually as dry as the rest of my skin, and I hate it when my hands feel greasy. But, since I recently took a really long plane ride, I threw this in my carry-on, knowing it would come in handy. And it did. It definitely fixed the dry skin I got from the stale airplane air without making my hand greasy feeling. I also really liked the subtle, nutty scent. Now that I'm back home, I still have it in my bag and I find that I use it quite a bit. Now, it's not that I need a hand cream, I just love the way it feels on my skin.

Review: NUXE Rêve de Miel Lip Balm

What They Say:
"Beauty claims:
This rich Balm helps nourish, repair and relieve even very dry, cracked lips.

Is it for you?:
This is a beauty treatment for all the family, including children from 36 months.

Skin benefits:
Immediate sensation of comfort, with no sticking effect. Even very dry, cracked lips become more supple, softer and perfectly smooth.

How to use:
Apply every day, both summer and winter."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: This is definitely a thick balm, though it's true it's not really sticky. It does have some traction to it, however, and for that reason it would be a great lip primer. Personally, I find this a bit too thick for regular use. It does soothe right away, but I find the texture a bit less than perfect. The thing to remember is that the Rêve de Miel product line from NUXE is honey-based, so that contributes to the thickness. I actually prefer the LUSH Honey Trap balm over this one in terms of softness and lasting comfort. With this one I felt I needed to reapply a bit more often.

Retail Price: $21.00 (at spalook.com)
