Caudalie Beauty Elixir has a Summer Makeover

One of my absolute favourite products from Caudale is the Beauty Elixir, a product which I have featured on my blog numerous times and it is also something I have repurchased numerous times. For me2, this Beauty Elixir is something I cannot be without and over the past few weeks when the weather has been rather warm, it has been an absolute lifesaver.

This Summer, Caudalie has given their hero product a little bit of a makeover and not only does it have a 100% natural formula, but it also comes packaged inside a beautiful new bottle.

If you have never heard of Beauty Elixir then you really are missing out. It was created back in 1997 by Mathilde Thomas who discovered the historic 16th-century youth elixir recipe created by the Queen of Hungary. Speaking about Beauty Elixir, Mathilde Thomas said:

The Beauty Elixir is the must-have product to keep in your handbag. This multi-purpose revitalising mist is the essential go-to product for women everywhere.

Having reinterpreted the formulation to use 100% natural ingredients and it is bursting with rare and precious plant extracts. Packed full of amazing ingredients you will find:

• Green Grape - moisturises and helps to boost radiance
• Peppermint Oil - awakens the skin and tones
• Rose Essential Oil - anti-shine and helps to activate the natural glow
• Rosemary Essential Oil - an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
• Myrrhe Oil - Tones
• Orange Blossom - Hydrates, soothes and tones
• Organic Mint Balm - calming and soothing

Putting all of these ingredients together alongside Benzoin, which helps the skin retain moisture among many other amazing properties you get a product which smoothes fine lines and creases, tightens pores, gives your skin a boost of radiance and moisture as well as helping to calm redness.  As well as all of that, the Beauty Elixir has a whole host of other benefits too and they include the working as a pillow mist and helping to set your makeup.

Once spritzed, all of the fragrance notes come to life and rather than soaking your face and skin through, instead, the mist is a lightweight and it instantly refreshes and on a hot summers day is just ideal for a bit of a cool down and it is wonderfully hydrating too.

This limited edition Beauty Elixir is available in two sizes - the 100ml bottle retails for just £32 and the travel version is just £12 for a 30ml bottle and you can find both of them here via the Caudalie website.

Alpha-H Today's Special Value on QVC

I am a huge fan of Alpha-H and there have been some incredible launches recently including Hyluronic8 and the Blemish Control Mask. Over the past few years, I have really enjoyed getting to know the products and understanding which ones will work with my own skin. If you didn't know, Alpha-H which is very much a family business and they formulate all of their own products and are stocked in over 25 countries including prestige clinics, exclusive day spas, TV shopping networks, cosmetic giant Sephora, department stores Marks & Spencer, Myer and Harvey Nichols, as well as a selection of premium airlines and over 2000 clinics worldwide offering Alpha-H facials - the absolute dream.

This coming week from around midnight starting on 30th July running through till 31st there is to be a QVC UK Today's Special Value (TSV) with Alpha-H for Supersized collection which brings together two of their most innovative and best-loved formulations, which you can see right HERE and it costs less than £38 which is an incredible bargain considering a normal size eye cream costs £52!

The first item in this TSV is the Balancing Cleanser which has been supersized to 500ml - This has been a cleanser I loved from the very first use and it is one cream cleanser I always have in my bathroom.  Free from drying detergents and SLS's, this cleanser works as a 3-in-1 treatment - a makeup remover, cleanser and toner all in one. 

Enriched with Aloe Vera to condition and soothe alongside Vitamin E to hydrate and neutralise free radicals. It is suitable for all skin and after using I absolutely love how my skin feels, instead of being dry or taut it is instead cleansed and smooth so I don't feel the need to smother my skin in as much moisturiser as possible.  Also, because this version is supersize and comes with a pump, I have found it really easy to use because one pump is enough!

The second item is the Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream which has been supersized to 30ml - Described as being the ultimate topical dermal corrector for the eye area with quadruple peptide technology. Using a complex of seven skin brighteners, illuminating Diamond Powder and Lime Pearl Extract which is a new natural source of gentle fruit acids derived from Caviar Lime found in the rainforests on the Australian East Coast. Abundant in citric acid and bioflavonoids, Lime Pearl accelerates cell turnover to soften and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

What I really love about this cream is the metallic rollerball applicator which, as you can see is made up of five small ones on this Supersize version. However, not only are the rollerballs instantly cooling on contact with the skin, but this rollerball also helps to reduce fatigue whilst stimulating lymphatic drainage to target puffiness and dark circles.

These two products together make quite the team and are an absolute essential for any Alphaholic, but if you have never tried a product from Alpha-H or have never moved away from just using the incredible Liquid Gold, then these two are ready to tempt you at an amazing price.  Readers of this blog can get a head start with the QVC TSV right here to ensure you get your hands on it before it sells out.
