Pupa Milk Therapy Nourishing Moisturizer S.O.S. - Mini Review .... and more!

Hello Again! Today I am going to do a mini review of a moisturizer by Pupa - Milk Therapy Nourishing Moisturizer S.O.S.  I had been given this sample by a friend a long time ago and decided to finally give it a try :) You will have to look for it in your local perfumeries or else a wide search on the internet might get you to it.  I only found it on one Italian website and they are saying that it is out of stock!

 

My sample pouch is  not large, but I have been using it for a week now and I think there is still enough left for another week. I only apply it once every morning (I am not a big cream fan so the less the better for me)

My Experience:

This cream is supposed to nourish and moisturize dry skin, in fact it says that is it suitable for dry and dehydrated skin. I do feel my skin a little lighter and smoother but it is not exactly hydrated.  The cream is absorbed by the skin rather fast so application is quick, and it immediately feels fresh with a subtle smell of coconut.  Personally I love coconut smell, and I simply enjoy how when the wind blows in my face I smell the coconut of the moisturizer all day! For me the scent is not overwhelming, however, some people tend to find it rather irritating so this may be pose a little problem, since I do not know whether the people surrounding me like it or not. There is always the thought that someone will smell the coconut and think that I took a shower in it, at the back of my mind when I wear this cream!  The smooth feeling lasts all day but the cooling effect is rather a momentary experience. It does not feel like clogging the skin either, although sometimes I do feel my cheeks pulling a little.  It also helps my blusher stay on longer too, which is a bonus.

Overall Rating:

Pros:

• Refreshing and cooling effect is enjoyable
• Easily absorbed by the skin and doesn't feel tacky - fast application
• Little amount needed to cover all the face 
• Leaves a smooth skin

Cons:

• Coconut smell might not be to everyone's liking
• Hydration and Nourishment are not exactly felt. Skin may pull at times.
• Difficult to find online and probably hard to find in stores as well.
• Italian brand so can be slightly pricey!

 

So all in all I think that this product deserves a 3 Diamond Rating.  I will not be buying the full product because apart from the fact that it is hard to come by, I still have a stack of moisturizers and day creams to try out and this one I think that is not exactly the perfect one for me.  I will finish off the sample pouch though as I like  the smooth feeling and the coconut breeze :)

A Little Update :)

This week I decided to finally purchase a present FROM ME TO ME for being such a good girl and save up on my motor insurance :) I hopped into the W2Beauty online store and got myself all of SHINee's Be My Princess Minime perfumes!!!! I wasn't sure which one to buy and then I stumbled on an offer which said that I could have all 5 for the price of 4 and forgot all about the choosing part :) I also had a $5 coupon that I earned on sign up so I ended saving a further $5 on the whole deal which is super :)

Here is the link to the product page and if you want your $5 sign-up coupon insert this code: 2862205  when registering your account and you will be able to use it immediately :)

As if that wasn't enough, I checked out he Born Pretty Store and got myself some Holographic Nail Polish and Nail Art water stickers and embossed ones too.  As soon as I get them I will post a full haul here with pictures and links and then you are sure to see some manicures using these goodies :)  I should be receiving a parcel from another store with some Etude House polishes as well which means more manicure ideas :)
