Caudalie Polyphenol C15 Day Fluid and Eye Cream

Hey guys. Happy Tuesday. Hope you all have a great weekend. Today I want to share my thoughts on the Caudalie Polyphenol C15 SPF 20 Anti-Wrinkle Protect Fluid (€37.70 for 40ml 1.3 fl Oz) and Anti-Wrinkle Eye & Lip Cream (€33.80 for 15ml 0.5 fl Oz) with you all. Hope you like it! 

I picked these up from feelunique just over a month ago. This Polyphenol C15 line is fairly new to Caudalie and apparently they are suitable for women over 30 years old. Both of them come in squeeze tubes which is very hygienic, and I like the slim pointed dispenser, it is precise so I could never squeeze out too much product. The control you get with it is amazing. 

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

- Grape Polyphenols (patent): anti-oxidant.

- Hyaluronic acid: plumping, moisturising and anti-wrinkle.

- Glycerin: hydrating.

- Filters: SPF 20 to protect skin against the sun damages.

- Stabilised vitamin C: anti-oxidant and anti-wrinkle.

The consistency of both products is more like gel cream. They are both very light, non sticky and really quick to sink into the skin which is perfect for summer. The protect fluid has a primer feel to it which is great because I can skip the primer step. It just feels so smooth and velvety once applied. I also like the fact that it has SPF 20 so a little protection for days when I can't be bothered to put on my sun screen. I really like the scent of this day fluid. It is very citrusy. 

The eye cream is also very nice in terms of giving me the hydration I need without being thick and sticky. I don't know about the anti-wrinkle part but it is a good moisturizing eye cream. I like the fact that it can also be used on the lip. I have tried it on my lip, nice and smooth but not quite hydrating enough. 

Key Ingredients & Benefits: 

- Grape Polyphenols (patent): anti-oxidant.

- Stabilised vitamin C : anti-oxidant and anti-wrinkle.

- Horse chestnut: anti-dark circle.

- Fern and Matrixyl 3000: lifting and anti-wrinkle.

- Liquorice: depuffs the eye contour.

- Hamamelis and calendula: soothing.

I don't think I would repurchase it again though because it doesn't really brighten my under eye area which I most certainly need. But if you are after a simple light textured moisturizing eye cream then it is the way to go. It doesn't really have a scent to it which is good for those of you who have sensitive skin.

All in all they are pretty good as far as being light yet moisturizing. They don't do anything "special" like what they claim to do such as anti wrinkle and all that. But if you are looking for a simple "summer appropriate" day and eye cream then they definitely won't let you down.  

That's it guys, short and sweet. I hope this is somewhat helpful to you. Thank you so much for your time and I will see you all in a couple of days! Bye! Muahh!

Updated Morning Skincare Routine

Hey guys. Another weekend has begun and I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Today I want to talk you through my Updated Morning Skincare Routine because it has been almost 4 months since my last one and some of the products have changed in my morning routine so I think it's time to show you the updated version. I'll link my old Morning Skincare Routine right  for you if you fancy giving it a read. 

Basically I have changed my entire morning skincare products apart from my Oskia Perfect Cleanser and my Nuxe Reve De Miel lip balm. Those two items are just my staples and I can see myself using them for a very long time. I don't think I want to replace them anytime sooner to be honest and that's just to show you how much I love them. I am not gonna talk about these 2 products again so please click the link above if you wanna know more. 

Let's move onto the toner. The one I have been using and enjoying lately is the Avene Thermal Water Spray. This stuff is so refreshing. It's perfect for summer. It feels comfortable on the face. It's hydrating and it calms the redness on the face as well. This is also great for taking it on the go or to the beach for a little refreshment for the face. It is also really affordable so can't go wrong with it. 

My morning moisturizer and eye cream are both from Caudalie and they are from the Polyphenol C15 Anti-Wrinkle line. They are lovely products, light yet moisturizing. I have a full blogpost dedicated to these 2 products so I'll link it  for you if you wanna see details. The moisturizer has SPF 20 so I normally skip sunscreen but if I know I'm gonna be in the sun for a long time then I would use my Kiehl's Ultra Light Sun Cream which I had talked about in the past I'll link it  if you are interested in what I had to say. 

That's it guys. Very simple but effective for me. I like to keep my morning skincare routine really simple especially for the summer as I hate layering too much product and the feeling of stickiness is just unbearable. These products work really well together and never irritate my skin. So if you are thinking about a change in your skincare routine then I highly recommend these goodies. All the products that I have showed here are generally for all skin types as almost all of them are French Pharmacy products so they would never irritate or do any harm to any skin. 

I hope you have enjoyed looking into my morning skincare products and as always please follow me on Twitter and Instagram @eflicciardello. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help. Thank you so much for reading and I will see you all next time. Bye! Muahh!
