Review: CAUDALIE - Beauty Elixir :)


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 :)




Hope this review was helpful to you! If you have any recommendations what should I try next let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly

  2. Obožujem to vodico! :) Vonj, to ''finost'' - da ne naredi obraza celega mokrega; svežino na obrazu in še celo moj obraz naredi manj pudrast, če jo popršim po svežem makeup-u. :))
    Res je idealna za poletje. Tudi sama imam 30ml in je imam malo manj kot ti (točno nad imenom Beauty Elixir), zato jo zdaj varčujem, ker bi jo rada imela za morje. Moram malo pobrskati, če kje ujamem kakšen popust, ker nočem ostati brez nje v teh vročih dneh. :P Po drugi strani pa imam še od L'Occitane Popolna potonika, ki je tudi odlična za te dneve, sploh namesto makeup fixatorja je meni top in jo tak tudi najraje uporabljam. Obe obožujem, ampak se mi za osvežitev obraza v poletju zdi ta od Caudalie malo bolj fajn, ker je bolj sveža.
    Drugače pa če imaš rada te vodice/tonike v spreju, priporočam še kakšno od Lush-a. Jaz sem imela Eua Roma Water in mi je tudi fajn osvežila obraz v toplih dneh. Verjetno bom spet morala v Lush po kakšno (morda namesto tega Beauty Elixirja), ker poleti najraje uporabljam te vodice, ker so super namesto klasičnih tonikov, pa še večkrat čez dan jih uporabljam za osvežitev obraza. Sem slišala, da je od Lush-a dobra tudi Tea Tree Water (je za mastno kožo).

    1. Ko sem slikala je še bilo toliko notri ja, sedaj pa je vodica prazna že nekaj tednov hehe :P Točno o tej L'Occitanovi razmišljam, ker je skoraj ista cena kot Caudalie pa veliko večja količina, namesto 30 dobiš 100 ml! Od Lusha sem nekaj časa hotela tole tea tree water pa se potem nekako nisem nikoli odločila za njo, mogoče pa bom šla vseeno malo pogledat v lush trgovino :) Priznam, da me pri Lushu odbija to da je vedno vse tako močno dišeče, zato si za obrazno vodico bolj želim nekaj malo bolj nežnega... Pa bolj osvežilnega :) Ampak hvala za predlog, grem vseeno ob priliki malo povonjat :)
