Hey Pandas...get ready because I have a Holy Grail product to show you! I am telling you, you NEED this one!
I recently discovered the brand Le Couvent des Minimes at Ulta and I am so in love. The cute packaging, the French, the smell...le sigh.
Their brand states: "From France, With Love: Natural Skincare recipes inspired by the long traditions of simplicity, care, and generosity, started in the Convent of the Minims in Mane, France"
I could wax poetic all day long about this epicness..but go read for yourself here.
Anyway, so what makes this cuticle balm/cream my HG you ask?
The original Nail and Cuticle Fortifying Salve recipe:
Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): nourishing, healing, regenerating and protective
Apricot kernel oil (Prunus Armeniaca): softening
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha): fortifying
This stuff smells like heaven--botanical, woodsy, relaxing. Spa for your hands, I tell ya! And I know the price is a bit of a shocker ($16.50 for this little tube), but you only need the tiniest amount...let me demonstrate:
Little baby dabs and you are good to go all day! This stuff totally fixes dry, gross cuticles in a snap! I am totally in love. Totally.
And if you are digging my evil eye nails, check out how I made 'em here!
I remember seeing this brand in France! It's pretty great-almost as good as L'Occitane I'd say!
ReplyDeleteYeah, definitely a dupe for L'Occitane in my book, and the scents are a little lighter, which works for my nose better, as I can get a tiny but sensitive to smells
DeleteOoh, I'm gonna add this to my holiday wishlist. I've been using Sally Hansen Miracle Growth Serum for my cuticles lately which have done the job. BTW awesome mani :)
ReplyDeleteI've used that as well...and it does work, but this is luxurious! Thanks Miranda!
DeleteI usually just use hand cream as cuticle treatment, but yours sounds really nice!
ReplyDeleteAaaa the eyes on your nails... :o COOL! Super modern. Besides teh point, sorry. I should take care of my nails more like this.. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHaha no problem, I had to show off my mani, so I tried to make it the point anyway ;). Nail care is a hard habit to stick to, but worth it!
DeleteNever heard of this product before, but it looks and sounds amazing!
