It is a dry body oil that gives your skin just the perfect subtle shimmer because it has golden sparkle in it. Did I mention not only does it look magnificent, it smells like everything good I remember about summer? It is made by a French company called Nuxe, and it is called Huile Prodigieuse Or (there is just a plain Huile Progigieuse as well, but I would recommend the Or, which is the one with gold sparkle in it). I know, even as I write this down I worry it sounds tacky, but trust me it really isn't. It is divine!
Given it is a bit of an indulgence ($40), I would not recommend using it as your only skin moisturizer. Rather I would recommend first using a plain dry body oil like Neutrogena's Sesame Body Oil (which is sublime in and of itself), and then you layer the Huile Prodigieuse Or on the areas of your skin where you want that extra spectacular shine. You can use it in the summer, you can use it when you go out, and they say you can even use it in your hair (I haven't tried that yet, but I will).
BTW, I said the Neutrogena Body Oil was plain, and it is, but it is also the world's best body oil. It is inexpensive ($12), it absorbs beautifully, and leaves your skin silky smooth without any greasiness.
You can buy both at many pharmacies (my local Pharmaprix carries both), and Sephora also carries the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or. Every place I have seen it has a tester bottle, so even if you are unsure, I would highly recommend you make your way to the bottle nearest to you, rub a couple of decadent drops on your arm, and then bring it to your nose for a little whiff. You will never again be the same.
Give them a try, you'll feel like a movie star, only better because you will still be you!
