The new ‘French Kiss*’ product is a lovely tinted lip balm formula, which is still inspired by the Caudalie heritage. The product has been created using Caudalie’s signature grape formulation, which is rich in anti-oxidants, providing an innovation that makes your lips instantly kissable. The ‘French Kiss’ formulation was inspired by a crème brûlée dessert. So the top of the lip balm is quite crisp, but once you actually crack through the surface, it has a creamy texture.
For this release, Caudalie wanted to create something with a tint – so they opted for a ‘bitten lip’ effect, which just gives a hint of tint. It’s available in three different shades, which offer everything from pretty nudes to berry finishes. I have the shade ‘Addiction’, which was inspired by a red berry syrup. The shade of this French Kiss tinted balm is a pretty raspberry red shade and it’s the boldest of the three. I picked this one as I think it’s going to be absolutely perfect for autumn, offering a lovely formulation, but a lovely pop of colour!
The new Caudalie French Kiss balms arrive in a pretty cardboard box, which has been designed to match the colour inside. The balm arrives in a glass little tub, which is topped with a wooden lid – the lid is finished with the French Kiss logo, which I think is a really pretty touch. The new Caudalie French Kiss lip balms are available now and are priced at £10 each here in the UK, they will be available from the Caudalie website (here) and selected stockists nationwide.
