The Power of the Grape

Another stunning new product launch and they are all pretty in pink, this new collection is called VinoSource from Caudalie. I have used a few Caudalie samples before and my skin felt super smooth but I have never explored more of collection before. The main aim of VinoSource is to hydrate young skin with the power of the Grape.

 

I love grapes so they had me right from the get go. I could snack on grapes all day, a sweet and healthy choice which is low in natural sugars (trying to cut my sugar intake ATM so I am all about the sugar content) and it is the perfect ingredient to pack into a beauty product using mainly Merlot and Muscat 100% organic grapes with no GMOs or chemical pesticides. With the delicate nature of grapes it makes the collection suitable for all skin types.

I mentioned earlier about the pretty pink packaging and the fact it mirrors the rainbows of pinks that grapes come in makes the product even more delicious. Looking at my beauty stash there is not many pinks and it really makes the collection stand out. The entire collection has also been made handbag friendly as an added bonus.

So delving into the collection: 

Organic Grape Water 

The hero product is the VinoSource, Grape Water. Is there a grape water drink?! If not there should be I can imagine it would taste amazing and have fantastic health benefits, OOO the freshness. Getting back to the product, the Organic Grape Water has such a fresh scent, filling your senses with Grape. Made out of all natural ingredients the Organic Grape Water is one of Caudalie's best-selling products and I can see why. By spraying the mist on to your face or skin you instantly get a soothing, refreshing and moisturising sensation.  The grape water is instantly absorbed into your skin so you do not need to blot or massage.

The grape water contains anti-oxidants and minerals that help maintain the skin for a soothed and nourished feeling. The hydrating nature of the product reduces irritation and redness which I am prone to especially when its hot.

Limited Edition Bottle RRP. £6, perfect for the summer. 

Some more products in the collection are these little moisturising tubes, full of grape goodness. Each one is £23, 40ml.

• Moisturising Sorbet: A perfect treatment for sensitive skin which starts working immediately to sooth the skin. The sorbet is fill of anti-oxidants to strengthen the skin.
• Moisturising Mattifying Fluid: This little one is there to fight shine, 100% mattifying after 1 hour and more refined skin texture. 
• Moisture Recovery Cream: Coined as a cocoon for the skin, the plant lipid nutrients care for the skin, reload the moisture and ensure its back to its supple state. 
• Intense Moisture Rescue Cream: Nourishes the skin for skin that it soft, supple and tight. The rescue part using a blotting effect ensures that redness is eradicated.

What’s all the fuss about?

So after reading about all these beauty boxes that hold high end beauty samples, I decided that it was time to try! I love beauty products and surprises so I could not really loose.

When the infamous GlossyBox arrived two weeks later than expected due to the Easter festivities I was eager to see inside. This month’s beauty box was themed; ‘Natural Beauty Box’ with all natural products and the box was even biodegradable.

So after carefully undoing the ribbon and unwrapping the paper, it was time to see my new beauty products:

Ayuuri Natural Body Wash (35g off the full size)

The body wash I received was Sandalwood scented enriched with vitamin E, coconut and ofcourse Sandalwood. The scent was not really to my taste but as a body wash it did its job.

Figs & Rouge Organic Lip, face & body Balm (Full Size)

This multipurpose balm was really cute with it’s French design. This was definitely a winner being really nourishing and smelling divine. 

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum (10ml)

This product is newly launched from Caudalie. It’s an ultra-concentrated serum that is all natural. It will soften you skin and has a nice sweet smell. You need to apply morning and evening to face and neck before you moisturise.

Inika Cosmetics Certified Organic Eyeliner (Full Size)

Inka is a great brand so I was happy to receive a full size brown eyeliner which lasts for ages.

Kai Perfume Oil (One Drop)

I was really disappointed about the puny sized sample – mine was only half full. The perfume was too overpowering, with a scent of gardenia wrapped in white exotics. But I did like their tag line ‘Kai is different on everyone’.

Overall I was not too impressed but maybe my expectations were heightened because the last box was the Harrods edition with brands like Burberry and Fendi, still, it does provide some nice additions to any girls beauty collection.
