The Beauty Sleuth

Caudelie Paris has long been known for their luxurious spas and home products. This line is infused with a variety of organic plant extracts and oils, with Grape seed and Vine oils being the key ingredient to all the Caudelie product line up. Grape seed oil has the same antioxidants as green tea, black tea, berries and red wine and therefore can do wonders for your skin and health. It is known for its ability to lock in moisture, leaving skin feeling more supple and smooth, without a greasy feeling, which makes it ideal to use on all skin types.

I for one have been a fan for years. One of my favorite go-to products is Beauté Elixir, which I use on my skin every chance I get—As a pre-makeup skin prep, a mid day hydration booster, during air travel and as an evening skin soother— It’s been the best way to give my skin a little pampering and hydration, whether at home or on the go. The heady scent and tingling sensation (from the Rosemary and organic mint balm) really wake up and hydrate my skin. Another amazing item comes from the VINOTHÉRAPIE bodycare collection. Vine Body Butter is a luxurious and soothing body cream that hydrates the skin without any sticky residue. Its citrus-y scent is fresh and vibrant and creamy texture glides onto the skin and penetrates easily. I use it everywhere, especially on hands, knees, elbows and anywhere I feel really parched. Loaded with grapeseed, shea butter and Caudelie’s proprietory blend Vinolevure, which are grape and grapevine polyphenols, this butter restores lost moisture and maintains softness to the skin. I recommend using it right after a shower or bath to lock in moisture for all-day-long supple skin.

I recently, test drove a new eye cream from the Global Anti-Aging program called Premier Cru, The Eye Cream. Right away I noticed a difference after using this cream. The lightweight formula has subtle iridescent pearlizers that brighten dark circles and smooth the area for immediate results. After a three week test run, I noticed a smoothness around my eyes and they definitely had a brighter, more awake appearance. I also used it around my mouth area and experienced equally good results.

Overall, the performance of all Caudelie products was top drawer and while a bit pricey, the products do what they are expected to and more. Caudelie has been manufacturing great skincare that performs with consistency, is really targeted and effectively and easily integrates to any beauty regimen. When it comes to your skin, who can put a price on that?
