Caudalie Vinoperfect Glycolic Peel Mask
(article contains affiliate links) Caudalie is such a lovely French beauty brand isn’t it? I remember stocking up on a few bits when I visited Paris years ago and the subtle almond smell of the cleansing milk will always remind me of that trip. It was almost certainly available to purchase in the UK at that point but you can’t beat some of those French Pharmacy prices! I recently bought the Vinoperfect Glycolic Peel Mask – a 10 minute, gently resurfacing skin treat that I’ve tried a handful of times so far. I tricked myself into thinking this is a new product but I think it’s just been renamed and repackaged,…

Caudalie Resveratrol [Lift] Face Lifting Soft Cream – Limited Edition Discovery Size.
[Sample/ Affiliate Links] Caudalie was one of the first French Pharmacy brands I got into when I started blogging. I think it was about 8 years ago now that I’d read so many rave reviews about the Caudalie Beauty Elixir that I was convinced I simply needed it, so I bought it and regretted nothing. That product and the Grape Water (a hot weather essential in my opinion) were the gateway pieces that started an appreciation for Caudalie* as a brand. I’ve actually not tried a Caudalie product I haven’t enjoyed and the Resveratrol [Lift] Face Lifting Soft Cream is continuing that trend. Incredibly nourishing and hydrating yet lightweight in texture,…

Caudalie French Kiss Tinted Balms
Sweetly flavoured and scented but not sickly so, the French Kiss balms from Caudalie are a perfect makeup/ skincare hybrid. The balms launched last September but with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it would almost be rude not to treat yourself to one (or all of them if you’re really feeling the love). The balms are available in three tints- Innocence, Seduction and Addiction – which add a flush of colour and a slight glossy finish while protecting and caring for the lips. INNOCENCE, a natural pink, is infused with the scent of vanilla and orange peel. SEDUCTION, a subtle pink, is vanilla scented. ADDICTION is inspired by a…

NUXE Reve De Miel Ultra-Comfortable Face Cream Night Review
I’ve been contemplating the NUXE Reve De Miel Night Cream for months and now that I have it, I wonder what took me so long to order it. In a nutshell, this extremely nourishing, rich night cream is nothing short of an absolute delight. The decadent formula features a whole load of oils and butters that combine to make one very delicious pot of night cream that I’m certain will become a permanent fixture on my bedside table. Designed for dry and sensitive skin, the Reve De Miel Night Cream contains sunflower oil, safflower ceramides (oil) and precious plant oils to restore lipids, barley, argan oil and shea butter to…

Avene Soothing Hydrating Serum Review
The Avene Soothing Hydrating Serum* is my first foray into Avene as a brand and going on first impressions alone, I think it’s probably a good introduction to the cult French Pharmacy skincare brand. Developed for sensitive skin, this serum contains a high concentration of Avene Thermal Spring Water (which is available to buy as a spray) and therefore is extremely soothing and anti-irritating. The serum features a patented liposome delivery system that basically means that the concentrated thermal spring water is released slowly to keep skin hydrated for longer. Not bad. The Soothing Hydrating Serum also contains Glycerin which is known for its intense moisturising and comforting properties. In…
