BEAUTY

3 Things I Cannot Live Without

Written by Maura

So I recently made my yearly move to Alabama and as I was packing I realized that there were certain beauty products that I just could not live without. First of all is Votre Vu, a beauty line specially made in France. I know what you are thinking, “great! snooty french products that have an overbearing smell.” Well, you could not be more wrong. The two particular products I’ve fallen in love with–the On Holiday Moisturizing Body Shower Gel and the Duette Luxurious Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm & Almond Pie Nutrient Rich Hand Creme, each have their own respective subtle but lovely smell. The Shower Gel emotes a very comforting smell, it is clean smelling–almost reminiscent of sunscreen, which makes me so happy because it reminds me of home at the beach. Although I do still follow my showers with a moisturizing lotion, the need for it has decreased since using Votre Vu’s shower gel. It is extremely moisturizing and is now a staple in my shower.

The next can’t live without it is also from Votre Vu, and never leaves my purse. It is a double wammy..a moisturizing lip balm, and luxe hand creme in one. First of all, this is the coolest invention ever, the lip balm in the cap of the hand cream. It is truly the perfect thing to have with you every day to keep you looking and feeling your best. I switch it into every bag that I use. The hand cream is almond scented, which is my absolute favorite scent for lotions and is totally moisturizing. It is perfect for the cold winters or just when your hands are feeling a little dry. The lip balm is a creamy balm that coats your lips to lock in moisture. Add to the fact that is also has a built in mirror and you have the perfect solution to dry hands and lips.

My last “can’t live without” product is tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer. This is my must use for mornings after a late night. It covers dark circles while lifting and tightening the under-eye area, leaving you looking rested and youthful.

  • Hi Maura! And welcome back to Alabama!

    As a Founding Brand Ambassador from Alabama, I’ve enjoyed introducing my southern friends to Votre Vu. And like you, Duette is a favorite. Thanks so much sharing your love of Vu with others! I love hearing about products that others are using.

    Have you tried any of the facial products? The college age crowd adores our Attentive line. It makes their skin feel great and gives a nice healthy glow. Also our Tout Le Monde eye gelee is great for any puffy eyes brought on by late night studying:)

    Also, I wanted to let you know to spread the word that our VuBAR (swanky AirStream) will be coming down to Birmingham in October to the Southern Women’s Show. I know it’s a bit away, but never too early to plan a girls trip! It’s a fun way to sample all the products. Can’t wait until then? I’m happy to answer questions, give recommendations and share samples. Anyone should feel free to contact me.

    Have a great semester.

    All the best,
