I have always wanted to be French. The French are fashionable, elegant and undeniably chic. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about the way they carry themselves - the way they look, the way they speak, the way they act - that everyone seems to strive after. And though it's impossible for me to alter my genetics and suddenly become French, there is a way for me to get that much closer to my dream. What could possibly transform me into an elegant French woman, you might ask? Two words: Votre Vu.
Let me just start off by saying I am no skincare aficionado. I have always had a facial regimen consisting of Murad products that have helped my acne, but really didn't do anything else for my skin. I had always steered away from moisturizers and serums, as I thought they would clog my pores and make me break out. However, Votre Vu proved this theory to be wrong. Within a few days of using their Peau Équilibrée face set, my acne not only cleared up, but my skin was noticeably glowing; it was more radiant, my dark spots began to fade...basically it was magic. Though I would recommend getting the entire set for the full effect, it is a bit of a splurge. If you do not want to purchase the entire set, I would recommend simply buying the cleanser and the serum. Remember, everything is highly concentrated, so a little truly does go a long way!
Now, let's talk beauty. Votre Vu has a myriad of beauty products, ranging from blendable tinted moisturizer to vibrant lipstick, that are of great quality (hello, it's all made in France) and good for your skin! Here are some of my favorites; feel free to click on the images for links to the specific products:

| Seriously, how sweet is this note? Oh, and the 'Bebe Duette' hand cream/lip balm duo is pretty cute as well. |
 |
| This moisture tint is incredibly moisturizing and does a great job of evening and correct skin tone. |
 |
| Bonus: the tinted moisturizer has a built-in concealer and tiny mirror. How clever! |
 |
| The lip balm - appropriately called 'Champagne Kisses' - is incredibly moisturizing and smells incredible! Tip: swipe it on your eyelids for the perfect on-trend dewy finish. Did I mention Kate Hudson loves Champagne Kisses too? |
 |
| Votre Vu's Eiffel Power mascara is definitely on par with Benefit's 'They're Real!' formula. It has a thick wand that allows for a great amount of volume in the lashes, without looking clumpy. |
 |
| I would not call myself a lipstick person, but Votre Vu has converted me. Their lipstick formula provides the perfect amount of moisture while still delivering a rich color payoff. Did I mention they have super cute names, like 'Babette'?! |
Cheers to happy and healthy skin!
