Caudalie Divine Oil 25 GBP
I first got to know about this oil on essiebutton and ghostparties, two of the most famous beauty blogs. Both Estee and Kate said they loved the oil, and from what they said about it I knew I would love this oil. But I hesitated to buy it because it was pricey, but luckily I was able to get a few pounds discount on lookfantastic.com somehow.
I put the link of the product page on feelunique above because lookfantastic didn't have the same discount offer anymore, and I personally like feelunique more than lookfantastic because they are quicker to ship the products than another.
On feelunique it says..." Caudalie Divine Oil offers everything you need to make your skin
positively exquisite. This multi-use miracle oil is also great for your
hair, your nails, your bath and massages", basically you can use it on every part of your body. I remember Kate from ghostparties mentioned that she was using this oil on her face as well.
First of all, I love the packaging. How classy and beautiful is this bottle!! And I love the idea that it's in a spray bottle because it's obviously much easier to apply on your hair and body. Although the spray is quite direct, I think it's because the oil is heavy so it cannot be misty.
It contains grape oil, extra virgin argan oil, extra virgin hibiscus oil, sesame oil and shea butter to moisturize your skin.
I spray this oil on my arms and legs to prevent dry skin, and on the tip of my hair before blow-drying. It really does make my skin so soft and smooth, and smells AMAZING. I cannot even describe the scent, but according to feelunique this smells is the blend of moroccan rose, bulgarian rose, grapefruit, pink pepper, whilst cedar, vanilla and white mask. It does smell floral for sure but the base with vanilla and white mask is making this scent very mature and sophisticated, instead of a simple floral scent.
I'm addicted to this product now, I just cannot leave my house without smelling of this oil! Unfortunately the scent doesn't last long, and the bottle is too heavy and big to carry around. I wish they had a smaller size so that I can put it in my bag and reapply it during daytime. It prevents dry skin very well without making my skin greasy or oily. I think I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and my skin hasn't been in a better state.
I strongly recommend this oil if you're looking for a body oil. I'm not a big fan of floral and vanilla scents to be honest but this one is totally different from all the scent I'd known before!
Have you ever used this product? What did you think?
It started from the conversation here between me and Zanka from Zanka Talks Cosmetics, when she offered to send me some magazines from Netherlands. I offered to send some beauty products in return, and we ended up swapping some products. You can check what I sent her on her blog post here.
Here are the goodies she sent me! They look interesting and I cannot wait to try them all!
I'm especially interested in these things, I guess they're facial masks (...right?). The packaging is beautiful and I really love the individual paper packages! They look really nice.
This eyeshadow from Aveda also looks nice, it's perfect for daily makeup. I might use the brown colour in the middle on my eyebrows.
I LOVE Weleda, and this day cream smells so good. It smells of fresh rose which is perfect for a busy morning to relax for a minute, and the texture is very light. And this lip balm is my favourite. It smells like vanilla and armond and I'm totally in love with this smell. It's the best scented lip balm I've ever used!!!
And some magazines! I don't understand a word, but it's actually fun to guess what it says. Some words are similar to English ones, so it's not so difficult to guess. I wish I could speak some more languages, that would expand my world more! It's also fun to see what's on trend over there. I think I'm a real magazine freak.
I haven't used all of the products Zanka sent me yet but I'm enjoying this goodies swapping very much! It's great to be friends with people from all over the world who love beauty just as I do and share passion with them. Zanka has been really nice to me since I started blogging, and I think we have similar tastes in beauty products. This is when I rediscover why I love blogging. So I would like to thank Zanka! :) I hope she's enjoying the beauty products from Japan too.
Have you ever tried beauty products from Netherlands? And are you interested in Japanese beauty products?
I got this nail polish from a kind Japanese blogger called Mickey whom I met once at a beauty event. She was asking if anyone would want this nail polish on twitter and I said I was interested, then she kindly sent two bottles within a week! How kind! I'll write about another one soon but today I would like to talk about this colour called "Green Black".
Don't you think this colour is gougers. And look at this shine, it looks like it's got a thin layer of vinyl on top! It's quite black-y and you cannot tell the exact colour in dark which I like.
But the only problem is that it doesn't last long. I applied it on Monday night, and it was chipped on Tuesday morning already. I didn't have time to reapply the nail polish before work so I left it as it was but it bothered me all day! I applied top coat as well so I think it's the nail polish itself which has got a problem. But I reapplied it when I got home, I just love this colour so much!
What's your favourite nail colour for this autumn?
