The Selfridges Summer Beauty Box contained the Caudalie Grape Water which didn’t excite me as much as the other items did. I assumed it would end up in my drawer of half used items and wouldn’t resurface until I next decided to clear this abandoned drawer out. Weirdly though, I felt the urge to use it after removing my make up one night and was left pleasantly surprised.
Caudalie Grape Water is designed to soothe, refresh and moisturise the skin. It’s made from 100% organic grapes and is perfect for cooling down on a warm day. I tend to use this spray when I wake up (the cold liquid is great at jolting me awake) and after I’ve removed my make up. I have heard of people using this over their make up and having no issues but I’m reluctant to do that; knowing my luck my make up would slide off my face as a result.
It’s a wonderfully light mist which dries within a few minutes. I find one quick spray is more than enough to cover my face and as a result, this bottle should last me for a long time. It’s possibly not the best thing to use if you’re in a rush since it can take its time to dry but if you’ve got the time, it’s a great addition to your skincare routine.
I’m not a huge fan of the smell of the Caudalie Grape Water as it’s just too grapelike for my taste – as ridiculous as that sounds. Fortunately the smell is only present when you spray the water and doesn’t linger on the skin.
The Caudalie Grape Water definitely delivers on its promise of soothing, refreshing and moisturising the skin. It is not going to replace your typical moisturiser but it definitely calms and cools my skin especially if I’ve been in the sun for too long.
Overall I quite like Caudalie Grape Water despite being completely underwhelmed by its presence in the Selfridges Summer Beauty Box. I think it’s something I can live without so I won’t be in a rush to repurchase it when it runs out but I’m happy to spray it for now.
