Caudalie Vinopure Skincare Range

The Vinopure range from Caudalie is up there with some of my favourite ever products and not only have they now launched onto Escentual, but the range has had a little bit of an update and I am here to share it with you. The Vinopure range is described as being a natural, simple and effective solution for combination/oily skin and it helps to reduce blemishes, shine, refine pores and reveal a new glowing complexion.
Caudalie Vinopure Skincare Range
With a complete skincare routine featuring four products - Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser, Moisturising Mattifying Fluid, Blemish Control Salicylic Serum, Purifying Toner, four glorious products from my favourite range.  

Starting with the Vinopure Gel Cleanser is the first essential step in your beauty routine against blemishes. It cleanses, tightens pores and reduces excess sebum without drying skin out, leaving it clean, fresh and luminous. Enriched with 99% natural-origin ingredients, the Caudalie Purifying Gel Cleanser deeply cleanses your skin for a fresh, luminous feeling. 
Caudalie Vinopure Skincare Range
In true Caudalie style, the vegan formula contains a trio of essential oils, including anti-inflammatory lavender oil, decongesting lemongrass oil and toning peppermint oil. The organic elixir is infused with natural salicylic acid to unclog and tighten pores, while the formula also battles excess sebum whilst retaining the skin’s natural moisture for a healthy-looking complexion. 

The second product happens to be my favourite ever product from Caudalie with the Vinopure Purifying Toner. Described as being perfect for combination skin and the product to help battle the blemishes, this is one product that I have repurchased time and time again because I absolutely love it.
Caudalie Vinopure Skincare Range
Again, described as being perfect for treating combination skin, this toner is described as being one which acts like a ‘vacuum for your pores’. It is formulated with 100% natural salicylic acid, antioxidant, age-defying grape polyphenols, organic rosewater and antibacterial organic essential oils of rosemary and peppermint which work to purify skin without drying it out. When it is applied to the skin, which I use to apply with a reusable cotton pad, it has the most wonderful scent due to the fresh peppermint but, thanks to the inclusion of Rosemary prevents it from being too overly potent and  I find it really relaxing and calming. On the skin, the texture is a weightless water-like texture.

The Vinopure Blemish Control Salicylic Serum is described as being concentrated and potent yet gentle and it has been primarily designed for targeted treatment of blemishes by gently exfoliating and unclogging pores.
Caudalie Vinopure Skincare Range
Formulated with the highest concentration of natural salicylic acid, grape seed polyphenols and Peppermint and Rosemary organic essential oils.  On the skin, this lightweight yet potent gel serum melts into skin and its job is to help reduce blemishes, blackheads and excess oil whilst also tightening pores and smoothing skin’s texture. The salicylic acid works hard to flush out excess oil and clarify clogged pores, with the rosewater working to enhance and hydrate skin, preventing the formula from drying out your complexion.  There is also the inclusion of antioxidant grape seed polyphenols which protect the skin and prevent the oil inside your pores from oxidising. Again, the essential oils of peppermint and rosemary provide antiseptic benefits to calm skin and keep it clear, leaving it soft and smooth. 

The final product is the Vinopure Moisturising Mattifying fluid which is described as being a refreshing fluid that offers all-day-long and shine-free hydration.
Caudalie Vinopure Skincare Range
This Moisturising Mattifying Fluid works to moisturise the skin without leaving behind a greasy residue and it includes Flax seed powder which helps provide long-lasting oil control, soothing organic grape water as well as anti-shine silica and moisturising olive squalane which work to both deeply hydrate the skin, while mattifying oily complexions.  On the skin, this fluid is exactly that, a fluid, so it has a fairly runny texture and it is designed to be applied both morning and evening to the face, neck and décolleté.

When used together as a routine, each one of these four Vinopure skincare products will not only banish oil and reduce the appearance of both enlarged pores and blemishes, it will also work to deliver an intense shot of essential hydration. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised and does an amazing job at keeping that shine at bay without stripping my skin of essential moisture.

You can find the Caudalie Vinopure Range on Escentual and prices start around £20

Alpha-H Skincare Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Trilogy

Alpha-H has started 2022 off with quite the offer and it is one you are going to want to know more about! Partnering with QVC, the Alpha-H Skincare Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Trilogy is a limited edition collection that features three of its most iconic and innovative formulations.
Alpha-H Skincare Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Trilogy
The Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Trilogy, worth over £168, launches exclusively online at qvcuk.com on January 6th for under £45, as part of an exclusive TSV offer ending at midnight, January 9th. The Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Triology contains the award-winning Liquid Gold Midnight Reboot Serum, the Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream and the original cult classic, Liquid Gold.
Alpha-H Skincare Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Trilogy
I have featured all three of these products on my blog over the past year or so and honestly, as a trio, they are incredible.  

So what is included within the trio?


Liquid Gold, 100ml – If you have never come across or heard of Liquid Gold then you are missing out!  Described as being the original cult-favourite, this accelerating acid treatment utilises the benefits of 5% Glycolic Acid, soothing Licorice Extract and moisture binding Silk Proteins combined with a low-pH delivery system to resurface, brighten and revitalise the skin overnight and that means that it also helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, open pores and acne-prone skin conditions.

Liquid Gold Midnight Reboot Serum, 50ml - I am on my third bottle of this serum now, that is how much I and my skin love it.  Said to be an industry first formula which combines two of skincare’s most efficacious ingredients of 14% Glycolic Acid and 1% Granactive Retinoid and they are quite the combination because these two ingredients shouldn't be friends, but they absolutely are in this serum. Working alongside the likes of Australian Tazman Pepper which helps to reduce the overall appearance of redness and Ferulic Acid with its potent antioxidant properties acting as a safeguard against free-radical damage, they work to target pigmentation, dullness, uneven texture, congestion, diminished elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – all without irritating the skin!

Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream, 15ml – If ever there was an eye cream you need, especially if like me you don't get enough sleep, it is this one.  Described as being lightweight, this illuminating eye cream targets wrinkle depth, hyperpigmentation and reduces the appearance of under eye puffiness and dark shades creating a ‘softfocus effect’ with quadruple peptide technology. It also contains Australian Lime Pearl AHA’s which accelerates cell turnover to soften and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is a delight to use with its metallic applicator, even better if it has been in the fridge!.

Together this trio make quite the team and are a great introduction to Alpha-H as a brand if you are yet to board the Alphaholic bandwagon (affectionate term given to Alpha-H fans) and a great way to stock up if you need more Alpha-H in your stash! 

It is also worth noting that if you were to buy the items in this Liquid Gold Complexion Reboot Trilogy set individually from Alpha-H, you’d pay £168.89. So with the Today’s Special Value price of £45 plus P&P you’re saving £120.04 - (QVC item number 245848 ).

Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil 55ml

Decorating, cleaning, de-junking, moving furniture all takes its toll when renovating, not to mention shoulder aches, back ache and neck ache from sitting at a laptop working all day. So, a hot steaming bath with Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil has been my go to.
Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil 55ml
The Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil, is described as being a soothing therapeutic bathing oil loaded with the goodness of rosemary, ginger, lavender and black pepper essential oils, making it the perfect antidote to give those muscles the gentle love and care they deserve.

As with all Aromatherapy Associate Oils, this one comes packaged inside a sturdy outer cardboard box and the glass bottle inside is sturdy enough to stand on your bathroom shelf and they look incredible waiting there to be used. As soon as the cap is removed, the most incredible fragrances and aromas already begin to fill that space you are in.
Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil 55ml
Other than their aromatherapy benefits, what I love about these oils is that they are non-sticky. This particular De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil is one I use on my skin directly before lowering myself into a hot bath, which will already contain a capful of that same oil. I’m a huge fan of massaging these oils into my skin before either stepping into the shower or a Bath, there is just something about the aroma that works for me.

This oil is made from 100% natural plant extracts and with it, two ingredients that really need a mention. Firstly we have Black Pepper Essential Oil which known for being a warm and spicy is a powerful circulatory stimulant which helps to ease muscular aches and pains. Sourced from India, this Essential Oil stimulates, energises and warms.  Then there is Chinese Ginger Essential Oil warms muscles and joints whilst boosting circulation. This powerful Essential Oil stimulates the mind and can aid digestion.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Soothes tired muscles
  • Eases joint stiffness and discomfort
  • Non-sticky
  • Makes skin soft and supple
  • Soothing and refreshing benefits of black pepper, rosemary, ginger and lavender essential oils
  • Contains 100% natural plant extracts
I can't recommend this Bath and Shower Oil enough, it is simply wonderful and I have since bought the Essential Oil for my diffuser because it just ticks every box for me right now and there is nothing better than being able to relax and unwind with this scent after a particularly tough day in the office.

This oil, along with many other products from Aromatherapy Associates are currently still on offer with Feelunique and it is well worth taking advantage of that offer.  This particular De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil is just £33.79 instead of £49!
