Caudalie is offering their Friends and Family discount to everyone!  Hurry though, the offer ends today. 20% off, use code BFF at checkout.  Also, orders over $50 get free shipping and all orders get free samples.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with Caudalie, it was created by the owners of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux focusing on using the beneficial grape seed polyphenols from their grapes in skin care products.  They have a fabulous spa at the Chateau that makes visiting even better (as if the wine tasting wasn’t great enough…)

These are my favorites from Caudalie:

Gentle Cleanser, $26 (with discount $20.80). This is a velvety cleanser that smells wonderful and doesn’t leave your skin feeling stripped.

Beauty Elixir, $46 (with discount $36.80). They say this is inspired by Queen Isabella of Hungary’s “Elixir of Youth”.  It basically looks like water with some essential oils floating on top, you shake it and spray it on your face.  It is the most refreshing feeling and I love the smell.

Eye and Lip Cream, $49 (with discount $39.20). You can easily spend a small fortune on eye creams these days.  I like this one because it’ s reasonably priced but works and is loaded with great natural ingredients.

Pulpe Vitaminée 1st Wrinkle Cream, $58 (with discount $46.40).  I mix up my routine sometimes by using this instead of my old faithful Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid Moisturizer.  Like most Caudalie products, it smells so good – - and contains great things like royal jelly, ginseng and ginger.

Vinoperfect Night Correcting Cream, $68 (with discount 54.40).  This is to help fade discolorations (you know, those dreaded “dark spots” a particular menace to the very fair skinned). I can’t say that it really makes them disappear, but I wake up with great looking skin (perhaps a bit more even), so I like it!
