la roche-posay Archives

I think it’s safe to say I went a little crazy.

French pharmacies are my version of a toy store.

Once I’m let loose in them, you’re not getting me back for a while.

This holiday I think I outdid myself, this is probably my biggest haul so far.

I bought products I’ve tried before and adore, and new ones that I’d heard good things about.

I’m sure you know all of these but just incase let me introduce you to the brands & products I bought:

Caudalie

+ Beauty Elixir

La Roche-Posay

+ Serozinc Toner

Nuxe

+ Essential Travel Kit

Avène

+ Trixera Emollient Cream

The beauty of French pharmacies is that they have full collections.

It can be difficult to find French beauty products in the UK for a decent price.

For those who are interested in trying them out for themselves, I have included links.

It might seem like I’ve bought far too many products to try out, but trust me, you’ll be seeing reviews.

Remember the Micellar Water Blind Trial I did for Escentual?

(If you don’t remember it you can view it here)

Well 100 Bloggers voted and the results are in, and I was very surprised at the final scores.

It’s obvious by the results that what worked for me, didn’t necessarily work for others.

I think this trial is the perfect example of how everyone’s skin is different.

My favourite? Dior’s Micellar Water.

My least favourite? La Roche-Posay.

It’s funny how my favourite was in the bottom 3, and my least favourite was in the top 3.

Straightaway after using Sample A I knew that it had to be Dior, don’t ask me how.

Maybe it’s because I have expensive taste, or I could feel the quality?

Which would I buy again? Dior and Caudalie.

I loved the trial and it has helped me discover some great products.

Micellar Water is my thing so I’ll definitely be investing in some of these in the future.
