Sunday Riley Good Genes

Packaging: Hand sized round glass bottle with with a white pump. While you can see the product inside this level never drops as the serum is housed inside a bag inside the bottle. The gold chrome cap matches the text on the bottle. Smell/Taste: Funny smelling acid. Colour: Pearlescent white, rubs clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth lotion consistency. It easily applies and rubs into the skin leaving a healthy glow but nothing shimmery. It contains lactic acid at a purified grade at the high potency helps smooth the appearance of deeper wrinkles and hyper pigmentation for a more even toned complexion. The skin therefore looks plump with liquorice to brighten and all an arnica to soothe when used morning and night. Maybe it's the liquorice I can smell in this.

The cotton rounds aren't anything too special but the plastic ouch they come in is such a handy thing to have for travelling. How many times I've travelled and flung my loose cotton rounds in my bag; they're either gotten lost amongst everything or slightly dirty. The pouch keeps them clean and together, making it easier to locate. I have tried this Bioderma out before and LOVE it. It's my holy grail product to remove my make-up. Of course I will try out different types and brand of makeup remover but I always go back to this.

Contains; - pink shower puff - Suger Crush buttercream 50ml - Sugar Crush body scrub 50ml - Sugar Crush shower gel body lotion 50ml - Sugar Crush hand cream 50ml Body scrub is the only product I've used before and absolutely love.

The shower gel lathers well with a lingering scent. Great travel sized products to trial a new scent and some new products! Available: From Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $18 LE
