Caudalie Vinoperfect Dark-Spot Correcting Moisturiser

Caudalie is an incredible brand and a few months ago I featured some of my favourite products from the brand here on my blog.  Today I am sharing the Caudalie Vinoperfect Dark-Spot Correcting Moisturiser, which I have absolutely loved trying out and getting to know.

This cream is enriched in vine sap Viniferine and niacinamide and the job of the Vinoperfect Dark-Spot Correcting Moisturiser is to help prevent all types of dark spots which include sun, ageing, acne scars, pimentation marks as well as helping to even out the skin tone. It also features a whole host of other amazing ingredients which include:

• Hyaluronic Acid - helps with moisturising
• Olive Squalane - a non-oily substance to help with moisturising
• White Peony - Helps to boost radiance, illuminates and evens the complexion

On the skin, this cream has the most wonderful velvety gel-like texture which melts onto the skin as soon as it comes into contact and once there, not only does it hydrate, it also leaves no greasy film, which is a plus.

Hosting a fresh but really subtle plant-based fragrance, it uses the green notes of 

bergamot, mandarin, lemon tree leaf, cucumber and fresh mint. I put mine in the fridge for half an hour before using and on really hot days, it is an absolute treat to use.

Again, a reminder of the benefits of this cream:

• Corrects and prevents the appearance of dark spots
• Evens skin tone
• Instantly brightens the complexion
• Hydrates

Caudalie Vinoperfect Dark Spot Correcting Moisturiser is gentle enough to be used every day. As with all Caudalie products, its formula is free from parabens, phthalates and mineral oils, and it is vegan friendly.  Priced at £34 you can find it here* from SpaceNK and here* from Caudalie.

Pat McGrath Mini Lip Fetish Lip Balm Trio

Who doesn't come running when Pat McGrath announces a sale with up to 50% off? I was straight to the sale, which is still live by the way, to purchase a few items for a friends upcoming birthday and of course a treat for myself!

I opted to try the Mini Lip Fetish Lip Balm Trio which usually retails for £20 and is now reduced to just £10. 

The lip balms are tiny and a little bit cute and each one contains 1.2g of product. The three shades within this trio are:

• Clear: a clear subtle sheen
• Blow Up: a warm light beige
• Flesh: a bronzed rose

They are packaged inside white plastic tubes which feature the iconic Pat McGrath Lips logo in a shade of gold, giving them that luxe feel and it is really impressive.

I really like all three shades, with Clear being every much as its name suggests, it works well as a primer for your lipsticks or on its own, I have used it for both options and I love that it isn't sticky or tacky. Blow Up as a nude is a great shade, I usually stay well away from nude shades through fear of getting foundation lips, but this has a really nice hint of colour to it. The final shade, Fetish is my favourite of the three and I might have accidentally bought the full sized option, oops.

This has been my first venture into the world of Pat McGrath, when usually I am watching from the sidelines, I am now hooked!
