The carefree chic beauty routines of French women have been coveted for centuries. Thankfully, emulating their day to day regimens is easier than ever. Those of us living stateside have learned to utilize sites like Amazon for the products that make us feel primp and Parisian.
If you’ve got holiday money to spend or want to spoil someone before the New Year, say “oui” to some of the best selling French beauty products that are actually practical.
1. NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
This is the best solution to the worst winter woe: dry skin! We’re saying “oui” to this luxurious hair and body oil, formulated with a gang of plant-based oils (sweet almond, camellia, hazelnut) that will make you feel like a chic Parisian…without the sticky after effects of regular oil. $32, amazon.com
2. Original Laiter Collyre Bleu Eye Drops
These are not your ordinary drugstore eyedrops! The tinted blue liquid makes the whites of your eye look brighter, which in turn, brings out the color of your iris. In short; this quick daily treatment ensures your eye makeup will “pop” even more. $21, amazon.com
3. Bioderma Sensibio H2O Water
If we could only buy one product from the drugstore, this would be it. Micellar water is the quickest (and cleanest) way to remove makeup before washing your face. And our French sisters swear by it! $12, amazon.com
4. Embryolisse Concentrated Lait Cream
Nothing brings us happiness like a luxurious body moisturizer this time of year. If makeup wipes or micellar water don’t do the trick, this multi-purpose cream will leave you with the sofest face ever. $19, amazon.com
5. Pre de Provence Shea Butter Soap Bar
This French-milled soap bar is almost too pretty to use! And the oil-based aroma actually lasts until you’re done with the entire thing. $8, amazon.com
