Review: Caudalie Lip Conditioner

I don't quite recall how I got my hands on this product, but I decided to give the Jane Iredale one a rest and use up some of the other lip balms in my lip balm drawer. This one caught my eye with the simple tube and the easy lipstick-like application. Caudalie is a natural line of products found at Sephora and other boutiques and department stores. The line draws from the benefits of grape-based products, specifically grape seed variations as a substitute for some of the more harsh chemical products out there. The Caudalie Lip Conditioner has grape seed oil and grape seed extracts to moisturize the lips.

I am actually really pleased with this product. It's quite hard in the tube but once you apply it, it smooths right on and isn't waxy. However, it stops from being slippery or oily. It a great consistency and I find it very moisturizing. The bullet shaped product makes application very easy and the top makes a little click when you put it on so you don't fear the container will open up in your bag.

I think it smells like grapes but my husband claims it smells like a bakery? Either way, it is a soft non-offensive smell that is pleasant and not super strong.

The tube comes with 4g and retails for $12 which a bit expensive but I actually think it's worth it, especially if you can manage to get this in the sets that Caudalie puts out during the holiday season which are always a good value or during a percent off sale. I'd repurchase.
