On my wishlist this week: NUANCE Salma Hayek

CVS/pharmacy presents Nuance Salma Hayek: An Introduction

So I'm pretty late in discovering Salma Hayek's NUANCE beauty line but hey, it's better late than never eh? Nuance, which was created by Salma Hayek with CVS in 2011 offers a wide range of beauty products from eye make-up remover to body scrub. The idea behind the brand is to offer great quality products at pocket friendly prices. Unfortunately the line is still not available in the UK so I'll just have to keep lusting over the products until something is done to make NUANCE Salma Hayek available to UK customers! Here are just a few of the products that caught me eye:

Nuance Salma Hayek Anti-Aging Wrinkle Filler EyeSerum

As I mentioned in my last post I've never worried about anti-aging gimicks before until the whole sleep line thing started to make me slightly obsessive! I've seen pretty good reviews about this and would really like to try it. This is what CVS says about it: "Nuance Salma Hayek Anti-Aging Wrinkle Filler Eye Serum is a rollerball with acacia senegal gum & vitamin C. Instantly improves the appearance of skin firmness, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Acacia senegal gum helps tone, tighten and firm the delicate skin around the eye area for a more youthful-looking appearance. Vitamin C helps revitalize the skin. Lumisphere, an instant skin brightener, gives the skin a healthy-looking glow. Clinically tested. Dermatologist tested. Fragrance free. Paraben free. Not tested on animals."

Nuance Salma Hayek Wild Lime Exfoliating Facial Gel

This sounds like a treat to use! Packed with natural ingredients it contains fruit acids to gently exfoliate the skin so should help with annoying skin complaints like blackheads and whiteheads (not to be confused with pustules!).

These are just a few of the products I'd like to try, everything else in the NUANCE Salma Hayek line looks just as inviting! The line also has make-up for the eyes, lips and face including primer, tinted moisturiser, eyeshadow quads, a nifty three in one "creamy eyeshadow, shimmery highlighter and eyeliner" product and so on. As I mentioned above none of the products are available in the UK as of yet so hopefully they're working on that and the line will be available at some point at a UK supplier. Do correct me if I'm wrong! What do you think of the products I've mentioned? Have you tried any NUANCE Salma Hayek products?
