ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Caudalie Lip Conditioner Review

Caudalie Lip Conditioner is a silky nourishing lip balm with a subtle citrusy scent.  The natural formula is enriched with shea butter, macadamia seed oil, grape seed oil, and grape seed polyphenols.  The lip conditioner glides on easily and leaves lips soft and moisturized without stickiness. 

Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Shower Gel Review

Fleur de Vigne Shower Gel is a soap-free shower gel with a refreshing watermelon-like scent.  The low-foaming shower gel cleanses skin without overdrying and rinses off easily.  The formula leaves skin soft, clean, and comfortable. 

Caudalie Vinexpert Broad Spectrum SPF15 Radiance Day Cream Review

Vinexpert Radiance Day Cream is a pale pink cream with subtle shimmer and a soft herbal scent.  The formula includes sunscreen, resveratrol, natural oils, plant extracts, antioxidants, and other skin conditioners.  The rich cream goes on clear and it creates an emollient barrier that keeps the skin hydrated all day.  Shimmer and natural oils impart a dewy glow.  This product is best suited for dry skin.  

Caudalie Premier Cru The Cream Review

Premier Cru The Cream is a lightweight yet emollient cream with a green-floral fragrance.  The formula contains a blend of plant oils, plant extracts, and other skin hydrators.  The cream feels silky going on and absorbs well.  The cream leaves the skin soft, dewy, and hydrated throughout the day.  This product may be too heavy for oilier skin types.

Caudalie Vinopure Matte Finish Fluid Review

Matte Finish Fluid is a lightweight, yellowish lotion with a pleasant citrus-herbal scent.  The lotion leaves a non-drying matte finish on the skin that feels slightly tacky to the touch.  The formula helps the skin look less oily but it does not completely banish oil and shine. The lotion contains oil-free hydrators, tapioca starch, plant extracts and antioxidants.

Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Mask Review

Purifying Mask is a creamy, white clay mask with natural lavender scent.  The formula combines kaolin and betonite clays with glycerin, vegetable oil, grape seed oil, essential oils and vitamin E.  The mask does not feel dry or tight on the skin and it washes off with soap and water.  This product leaves the skin soft and refreshed but it provides little relief for congested skin.

Caudalie Vinexpert Radiance Day Fluid SPF 10 Review

Radiance Day Fluid is an emollient lotion that feels slightly greasy when you first put it on, but it soaks in within a few minutes. The lotion is formulated with light-reflecting pigments and coppery pearlizers that leave a dewy sheen on the skin. The lotion also includes a blend of chemical sunscreens, grape antioxidants, natural moisturizers and plant extracts. This product has a soft herbal-citrus scent.

Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Fresh Energizing Fragrance Review

This is the only fragrance offered by this French skincare line.  The fragrance starts off with a refreshing blend of fresh citrus fruit, with a hint of grape and green mate in the background.  As the citrus notes fade, the woody notes of sandalwood emerge and linger on the skin.  This is a nice refreshing scent for a hot summer day.  Notes include: Grape Blossom, Italian Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Blackcurrant Bud, Green Mate, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Grape, Lemon and Orange Botanical Waters, Trace Elements, Mineral Salts.
