Caudalie's website says:
'Inspired by Queen Isabelle of Hungary's elixir of youth, this treatment smooths away fine lines, tightens pores and gives the complexion a real boost of radiance. '
I bought this after reading so much about this product on the blogosphere and after a while, I had to have it. I was excited to try this product but a little apprehensive at the same time as I had heard things about the scent being a bit off putting.
Once I received the product, I'm going to be honest, but I just didn't like it. The scent was off putting, just as I had heard and I just couldn't deal with it. I stopped using it for a while and then gave it a go again, this time it was in the morning after I was very tired and all of a sudden, I got the scent a little better. It woke me up and refreshed my face, but really that's all I can say it has done. I have been using the product for a while now and really I'm not getting any results. Even though I am finding it to be this way, I do still like the product and now I solely use it in the morning to refresh my face and for that job it is great.
I really just don't get the product and I'm a bit confused about what it is supposed to do because really it doesn't do what it says on the website.
Has anyone else found this? What do you think of the product?
There is such hype about this product... I just have to try it, ridiculous really! It's a shame it didn't work for you xx

I just expected so much more from it. I'm sure i'll manage to get through the bottle though :)
DeleteAbsolutely love honest reviews like this! ;) And your layout is really cool!

Thanks lovely!! Really lovely feedback :)
DeleteI had this back in the day and it was honestly just a "face refreshing spray" but I sometimes used it like MAC Fix+ to make my makeup look more natural if it was looking powdery. It seems to have made a comeback due to lots of pushing on YT. Great blog! Newest follower!

Just really didnt get the hype behind it. Ah thanks lovely.
DeleteLove honest reviews, thank you so much. There has been so much hype around it I was so close to buying it but I might pass now :)

i think it just depends on your skin type etc, i just expected it to be so much better after the hype around it. x
DeleteI hate it when you buy something and it just does nothing - I've lost count of how much I've spent trying to find that 'perfect' skincare routine!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean! x
DeleteMy main question/hangup about facial sprays is: why all of the unnecessary fragrance??? This Caudalie Beauty Elixir has some pretty decent ingredients, but in my opinion, they really flubbed up with the addition of all the unecessary fragrance. Give us something beneficial sans scent and I'll be happy!

I agree, i'm so reluctant to put something on my skin that is so highly fragranced.x
DeleteYou are so pretty, and your blog is quite wonderful. I am now following!
ReplyDeleteIf you could give me your thoughts on my latest post that would SERIOUSLY make my day.

thank you so much lovely, will check your blog out for sure. x
DeleteI love the scent of this, and found it really refreshing ti use, but noticed no difference to my skin whatsoever. If it was cheaper I'd have repurchased, but there are far less expensive facial mists around that do the same thing!
ReplyDeletetotally agree! x
DeleteGreat review, I like honest bloggers. I've tried several similar things and I haven't been delighted with any. Maybe it's just me. But I don't believe commercials and promises anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, you've got a lovely blog! Hope you'll visit me too. xx

i expected more! :) x
DeleteThis is defiantly something I have been meaning to buy to try because I have heard such good things about it. But to know its not very good actually save me some pennys, knowing its something I am not going to waste my money on.

i'm glad i can use it up, but it's just not something i love. x
DeleteI bought this for my mum from Paris after hearing SO much about it. The smell is not refreshing AT ALL in my opinion! I was expecting it to be a much less 'powerful' smell? I don't know I just don't think it's worth the 25 euros! xx
ReplyDeleteme too! was expecting a lot more from it. x
DeleteSo glad I saw this! Was planning on buying as well.
