Keeping up with Jeans And Roses

Never thought that, on this last day of January, I would be summarizing my blog posts and my social media connections, because blogging was something I never ever planned to do again. But 13 posts and many of your comments and feedbacks later, I'm not sorry for my decision at all.

Maybe the most responsible was actually my Instagram where I had been sharing my lifestyle, fashion and make up photography for the last six months and, as explained in my intro post, was something I enjoyed so much that I wanted to expand it in the form of blogging. Although blogging is now my priority, I still very much enjoy sharing both blog related and non blog related details from my life, so if you like them, follow my profile here.

Besides Google Friend Connect (on the right) the easiest way to follow my blog is on Bloglovin'. 
The registration is quick and easy and it helps you get all the latest updates from your favorite blogs in one feed. 
Follow Jeans And Roses on Bloglovin' here.

Another similar blog community which I have recently discovered is Fashionhyper, where you can "stalk" your 

favorite blogs in order to get their latest updates and hype the newest posts you like, as well as going back and 

viewing all the posts you have hyped in the past. My blog is also on Fahionhyper here.

If you don't have any of the accounts above but you love spending time on Facebook, you can keep track of my 

updates on The Jeans And Roses Blog Facebook page here, where I'm sharing links to my latest posts as well as 

some of my Instagram photos.

Last but not least I wanted to mentioned some of the well known fashion communities that collect and share personal style
photos. Although my blog is not just focused on my daily looks (but will include more in the future) I love sharing them on  
Chicisimo (here) and Chictopia (here), which is not only a good way to promote my blog but to get inspired by many
other fashionistas from around the world.

Hope you have enjoyed my blog so far! In case you have missed some of my posts - or if you are visiting my blog for
the first time and want to get a better idea of what it is about - make sure to check out the January archives.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Brand love: Caudalie

Photos by me.

When it comes to my skincare, over the last year I developed a significant affection towards French brands. I don't know if it's influenced by my growing desire to visit the country again or my indulgence with french pastries, but many of ''Made in France'' brands have found themselves on my bathroom cabinets and have done good to my skin. And one of the latest to have that little oh la la something was Caudalie. 

Caudalie brand was developed at the heart of french vineyards. It made the most out of the vines' and grapes' exceptional powers for the skin (from antioxidant and anti-agening benefits, to their ability to erase dark spots and reveal more radiant complexion) but avoided any harsh chemicals, artificial colorants and fragrances meanwhile. Today I'm sharing with you three of my favorite products, but if you would like to know more information about all their lines and the entire story of the brand visit Caudalie.com.

Beauty Elixir (get it here): Since so many people swear by this product that is meant to smoothe and tighten pores and give the complexion a burts of radiance, I wanted to try it myself. As recommended, I mist it on my face after cleansing and before applying moisturizer; and feel the ingridients such as the grapes, orange blossom and organic balm mint instantly waking up and refreshing both me and my skin. I rarely use it on top of my make up but it does come in handy as a make up setting spray too.

Grape Water (here): Unlike Beauty Elixir which is refreshing, I find this product to be very soothing and moisturizing, just as claimed on the bottle. I do have a dry skin so I tend to carry it around in my bag everywhere and spray it whenever I feel my
skin is getting drier than usual (out in the wind and cold or in very dry and air conditioned spaces).

Cleansing Toner - I'm no stranger to face toners and have been including many in my everyday skincare, from the vitamin enriched to moisture replenishing ones. Because it's very refreshing I like using this Caudalie toner in the morning, and the fact
that is moisturizing too and alcohol free definitely makes a plus.

Considering I'm very pleased with it so far, Caudalie is definitely on my to-watch list, as I'm planning to try many more of their products such as anti-wrinkle serums and shower gels. Have you tried any of the Caudalie products?
