Caudalie Vinofresh Deodorant Review

It snowed. It really came down today. Most of it is gone though. That was the wakeup call I needed to tell me that winter is coming. 

Or really Winter is here. And I need to get a move looking for a new winter coat-cause I destroyed the one I bought last year but that's a story for another time.

Looking at the overseas price- I really should have bought it here and saved a few dollars. Even with the exchange rate I could have saved money. Whoops. Live and learn I guess.

I can tell you it's not worth the money. Most of the clear type deodorants really don't work for me. I should be able to tell from the ingredients but it's just a lesson I must be refusing to learn. It reminds of the last one I bought, right down to the Eucalyptus scent. Which I don't think agrees with me at all, at least not in a deodorant scent. I have to re-apply. Re-apply. Re-apply. And forget wearing it overnight. Eww.

It's not as bad as the Malin and Goetz one but it's not good either. 

By now I can really look at the ingredients and tell if something is gonna work for me. Anytime a deodorant has any kind of glycol high in the list- it doesn't work for me. Then there are a bunch of ingredients- can't tell what they are. Also tends to meant it won't work. It does have eucalyptus and grapefruit water. I guess it's good for the pitts? Idk. There is grape juice too. Normally I eat up natural ingredients but...grape juice in deodorant? Eh.

Overall, doesn't work for me. I regret purchasing it  My second product from the brand...I did try the viral spray a couple months back and it was OK. Overpriced...but I'll leave the review here in case you want to read it in full.
