Hello everyone! For the past few weeks, I’ve been testing out some new (to me) skin care products from Sunday Riley; Good Genes, Luna, and Tidal.
I have definitely noticed improvement in my skin’s softness…seriously, my cheeks feel as soft a a baby’s butt…not that we go around stroking babies bottoms, but you know what I mean…I hope! ¬_¬ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyways, I’ve known about the Sunday Riley brand for a while, but I’ve never really bought anything as this is a high end brand, which is more on the “dolla, dolla bills, y’all!” end. However, one day I went into Sephora for a makeover. These are awesome because your Sephora rep will pick out different items from different brands to put together a look that you are wanting. On this fateful day for me, my Sephora MUA Edie decided to moisturize my face in the glorious wonder that is Tidal!
Ever since that day, I would always walk by the Sunday Riley section in Sephora, and waffle between “OMG So Pricey!” to “it works, it REALLY works!”, when one random day, I found a travel sized version of Tidal in the checkout line! *Fist pump of awesomeness* This way, it was a small enough product to truly test, to make sure it wasn’t a weird one off occurrence, and I didn’t have to pay full price, in case I didn’t like it. Sephora is also awesome for doing combo packaging, so I also managed to get the Good Genes and Luna together in the Power Couple Duo: Total Transformation Kit, so I could test along with Tidal.
I can honestly say, when I use these products consistently, my skin feels at it’s absolute best. I’m blessed with pretty decent skin, so I don’t have problems with major breakouts or acne. That being said, as I’ve gotten older, the fine lines and wrinkles are starting to appear. These products for me have 100% worked in reducing the fine lines on my forehead, and makes my skin glow and shine. I often go without wearing make-up, and after cleaning my face and applying these products, I definitely don’t want to put on any make-up, because my skin just feels that amazing! (✿◠‿◠)
The routine I’ve established with these three products is that I will use Good Genes in the morning, and Luna at night. I will apply these first, then give them some time to absorb in to my skin, before applying Tidal to finish.
Overwhelmingly, I love the products; they work for me and my skin type, so I’m happy. Out of the three, the only one that has a slight con for me is the Good Genes. Now the product works, and does what it says; the only negative is the smell! In almost every review I’ve read, the smell is mentioned, and unfortunately, I have to agree with those reviews. Looking over the product ingredients, I see licorice, lemongrass, aloe, and cactus. To me, that combination just doesn’t sound like it goes well together smell-wise, but all-together that combination works its wonders on my skin, so I can live with the smell, as the results greatly outweigh it! 🙂 10/10 would buy again! ^^v
