Caudalie: Beauty Elixer

I have had my eye on this beauty elixer for a while. I personally, am not a fan of Mac's fix plus. I know a lot of people like it, but I don't like the scent, or how much comes out when you spray it. The Caudalie elixer, on the other hand, has such a pleasant scent. It awakens you up, with minty notes. In addition, your makeup looks fresher, without that wet look. It is also packed with oils and other ingredients that are good for your skin. Caudalie products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, fragrances, dyes, other stuff that is harmful to your skin. Retail $18 for 1.0 oz, $48.00 for the 3.4 oz. The Caudalie Beauty Elixer is sold at sephora.com, caudalie.com, and birchbox.com.

Recently Caudalie has released their Favorite's set. This set is a great value at $35, and includes the 1.0 oz elixer, and other Caudalie best sellers.

Caudalie: Vinexpert Firming & Lifting Collection

Caudalie recently launched a new collection. I have been a fan of Caudalie products for a few years now, and it's exciting to see the brand grow in the US. Just today I was walking in New York City, and walked by a Caudalie boutique. In addition, I have met the founder and she was a very sweet and knowledgeable lady. Lastly, I think their products are priced reasonably. There newest collection is called Vinexpert Firming & Lifting, which has been getting rave reviews.

What’s new:

1.       Patented Resveratrol-Oleyl: boosts collagen and elastin AND fights glycation

2.       New packaging that’s 50% recycled and recyclable (and très glam!)

3.       Five completely new formulas that offer targeted results (ie 80% resculpted cheekbones thanks to the Firming Serum and 100% smoothing effect using the Night Infusion Cream)

4.       An environmental commitment to support the Island of Sumatra and it’s wildlife through Caudalie’s partnership with 1% for the Planet

5.       A breakthrough study with Mt Sinai to prove the impact of the formulas at a genetic level.  Thanks to a study conducted by Dr. Ellen
