There are certain words that encompass not only your appearance, but your personality, enthusiasm, happiness, exuberance, your youthful outlook.

Now, beauty products can’t give you a truly radiant appearance if you aren’t feeling it. There are some great products to fake it, and your skin might look brighter, clearer, but not radiant. On the other hand, you may feel radiant, but your skin doesn’t quite show it. Let’s let your inner radiance out.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum is a truly luxurious serum that packs a punch. It takes a very small amount to adequately cover your face and neck, so the 1 oz bottle will last awhile. Even the heavy glass bottle feels good, Caudalie has taken every measure to make sure this is a pampering treatment for the product user.

This product will probably result in the most Style Chicks updates from us over the next few weeks and months, since it not only gives an initial boost to skin, but works over time to make skin brighter, more luminescent, and works to get rid of those areas of surface skin damage like brown spots. But I am thrilled with the initial results I’ve gotten in the past week using Caudalie’s Radiance Serum.

Like most serums, Radiance Serum is meant to be applied under moisturizer. It’s quite light so it works beautifully in tandem with other products, but I’ve also used it alone, since it is so moisturizing. I am especially impressed with the effect it gives under makeup.

This morning I applied it and let it absorb, then applied my regular sunscreen. Now, usually I add in a drop of Remede Soft Focusing Lotion to my sunscreen to give a subtle glow to my skin. I skipped the Soft Focusing Lotion today since my skin seemed to already have a slightly airbrushed effect with just the Radiance Serum. Even better, it held the look of facial contours perfectly, which is rare (Remede Soft Focusing Lotion also falls into this category but works as a light defusing cosmetic).

I applied my regular makeup and was thrilled with the results as my skin had a smooth, dewy, flawless appearance, and when I smiled, the apple of my cheek had that inner glow that is only seen on children and acne free starlets under the age of 16. If the product did nothing else, this effect makes it worth every penny.

I can’t wait to see and share how Radiance Serum works over the upcoming weeks and months!
