As I have said before, one of the great perks of being a beauty blogger is being introduced to brands that I may not have otherwise known about. While all brands are hardly created equal, there are those that truly distinguish themselves from the pack, and such discoveries are incredibly rewarding. One such recent discovery is Eleni & Chris. 

About Eleni & Chris,

Eleni and Chris is the beauty empire from Inger Ellen and her daughter Christinah Nicolaisen. They both share a high level of drive, passion and creativity. We are united by believing in our values of strength, personal power and our ability to make a difference. Together we have developed a unique cosmetic brand derived of the finest and purest of Scandinavian ingredients. Whilst they differ in their background and approach, Inger Ellen and Christinah share an extraordinary level of drive, passion and creativity, rooted in and inspired by their Scandinavian home. The partnership of these women is founded in mutual respect of the strengths that they each bring to the creation of beauty products embodied by their unique spirit.

Eleni & Chris introduce Scandinavia’s precious Cloudberry. Considered one of nature’s best-kept secrets, the Cloudberry is the most significant discovery in anti-aging ingredients for over a decade. Extremely rare and prized for its arctic provenance, this rare berry naturally contains vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as calcium and magnesium. A single Cloudberry contains as much as four times more vitamin C than an entire orange, helping skin to look younger, for longer.

Eleni & Chris Cloudberry Anti-Aging Day Cream for Dry Skin ($96.00 for 1.7 oz. from Eleni and Chris): This is such an amazingly nourishing and hydrating antioxidant-rich anti-aging face cream that leaves skin deeply moisturized, soft, supple and luminous. Furthermore, skin feels very comfortable and fine lines are softened and plumped. While it is formulated primarily for dry skin, I find that it is incredibly effective for my normal/combination skin– particularly with the cold weather that we are experiencing this season. It boasts a substantial mid-weight texture, but it is surprisingly fast absorbing and it leaves behind no sort of greasy or oily residue. It has a light, clean aroma, but I find that the scent fades very quickly.

Eleni & Chris Cloudberry Anti-Aging Face Serum for All Skin Types ($100.00 for 1 oz. from Eleni and Chris): This antioxidant-rich serum has an incredibly silky feather-weight texture that immediately sinks into the skin, and it leaves behind no residue whatsoever. I am shocked by the extent to which it softens the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines, hydrates and nourishes the skin. After only a few days of use my skin was left softer, smoother, more supple and definitely more hydrated.  It has a light, pleasant aroma, but it fades as soon as it sinks into the skin.

Eleni & Chris Chromin Colorpro Shampoo for Normal to Dry Hair ($26.00 for 10.1 oz. from Eleni & Chris): That I have dry and curly hair is no secret, but add to that the fact that I color treat it– which means that I have to be especially careful about the shampoos that I use. Many shampoos have a tendency to exacerbate the problem by causing further dryness, and therefore I am often reluctant to try new shampoos in anticipation of stripping and drying my fussy tresses. That said, my fears were immediately vanquished after the first time that I used this wonderful shampoo– that is specifically formulated for normal to dry color-treated hair. It thoroughly cleanses the hair without ever stripping it, it helps reduce fading color-treatments and it leaves hair soft and moisturized. Furthermore, it works wonders combating frizz and fly-aways, and it has a delectable semi-floral aroma,

Eleni & Chris Chromin Colorpro Conditioner for Normal to Dry Hair ($28.00 for 10.1 oz. from Eleni & Chris): This is a really moisturizing conditioner that deeply conditions hair without weighing it down or leaving behind an unpleasant residue. It protects color treatments from fading,  makes hair manageable, it fights frizz and fly-aways, and it leaves hair with a glossy shine. I love the aroma, which is a light floral, but it does fade fairly quickly.

Eleni & Chris Keratin Strengthening Leave-In Treatment Cream for Dry and Damaged Hair ($29.00 for 5.1 oz. from Eleni & Chris): I always use a leave-in conditioner after I wash and condition my hair in the shower. This is a non-negotiable step for me because it is difficult to get a comb or brush though my curly tresses when I do skin leave-ins. I use a small amount and work it from roots to ends, and it not only provides vital moisture, but it reduces frizz, adds shine, and allows me to comb and brush without any tugging. It has a delectable warm and creamy aroma  that is a treat to the senses, however, it does fade quickly.
