Wine-inspired Beauty Products

Wine is probably one of my favorite things in the entire world and, on top of being delicious, it also actually has properties that are good for your skin!  Here are my favorite wine beauty product picks:

Stila Lip Glaze in Blackberry Purple Wine: Though it’s not wine-derived, the shade reminds me of my favorite red (from Napa) and Stila has the most amazing lip glazes ever.

Fresh Citron de Vigne Bath & Shower Gel: You know I’m obsessed with fancy shower gel so, naturally, I’m in love with this version…it has an effervescent citrus scent inspired by France’s Champagne region.

Caudalie Gommage Crushed Cabernet Scrub: This is a serious body scrub, just be warned.  It’s perfect for summer and I’ve been using it before I self-tan myself silly.

Wine Wipes: As someone who gets red wine mouth after like 1.5 glasses of red wine, these are a MUST for my purse.  You just swipe them around your mouth and teeth and voiila, red wine stains are dunzo.

Caudaline Pulpe Vitaminee

So I’ve always been a big fan of the skincare line Caudalie. What’s better than beauty products made from the same ingredients as wine, right? I recently tried out the Caudalie Pulpe Vitaminee line and it’s truly A-mazing. The line was created to stop the first signs of aging and is packed with antioxidant grape seed polyphenols, a phyto-aromatic complex and an assortment of ingredients selected to even skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and deliver overall skin radiance and vitality. My favorite product from the line? Definitely the Eye and Lip Cream. It brightens up your eyes while simultaneously diminishing dark circles and puffyness. Plus, it can also be applied around the lip area to prevent fine lines and also to keep lipstick from bleeding.
