Review: CAUDALIE - Beauty Elixir :)

Martha Temmuz 06, 2021

Hello! Another review for you! And it's so perfect for all of you looking for summer staple products!

I had this product for a quite a long period of time, as I wasn't really using it regularly. I did use it a lot when I bought it and than some, than for a couple of months it only stood there in my bathroom until I decided it's time to start using it again and finish it up! Then I remembered I could do a quick review for this product and so here it is!

As Caudalie is known for use of grapes and grape seed oil and such it would be much more appropriate to use some grapes in the background, but as I didn't really have any I used some sunny, warm and colourful oranges!

Packaging and price: Glass bottle with silver cap, elegant print on the bottle with grapes. Can contain 30 ml or 100 ml. Prices are around 11 to 13 euros, depends when and where you buy it. Mine is from feelunique.com, and it cost less than 10 euros as I had a special discount.

The scent: Fresh, herbal and you can also sense a hint of grapes. To me this is mainly just herbal and well fresh, so I find it pretty perfect for summer time.

What it is? It's a really fine mist you can spray all over your face and without worry it would ruin your makeup or anything like that, it's more like an enhancer of your natural glow.

Application: It's easy, you just spray it. As it's a very even mist you won't end up with whole drops of the product melting your makeup off. You do however have to spray it from at least 20 cm away from your face.

What it does? It's a spray that instantly refreshes your face and gives it some more hydration during hot summer days!

Is it worth it? Well, I kinda want to say both, yes and no. I like that it feels luxurious and like a touch of added skin care and just a little something to pamper yourself with. However in the end it's just a spray and it's not that special at all. You can get more for less at other brands that offer similar products, and there are of course even more expensive face mists. This one is well very nice as I like the fresh scent and the way it helps me relax. I also liked to use it instead of my regular toner and just spray it after washing my face. A couple of times my skin didn't react well to the product as I would wash my face, dry it and than spray this on top and I would feel a burning sensation all over my face! Nothing visible though, no other reaction than that, and it stopped as fast as it began, the moment the mist was completely dry on my face I wouldn't feel any burning sensation anymore. I don't even know why this happened as it only did a couple of times, but I guess the combination of the product I used before and maybe my own skins pH level didn't want to work well with it. Anyway, aside from those couple of times I really loved the product and it felt really gentle on my skin! For now I have decided not to repurchase just yet as there is another similar product by L'Occitane I want to buy and try :)
