Gentle and effective but does Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum work out to 6.5% retinol on skin?

November 17, 2022 Paris B 2 Comments

I once proclaimed, after using Luna, that I wouldn’t use any other product from Sunday Riley.

Well, look who’s eating crow 😛 Whatever I thought about Luna and the rather sneaky marketing tactics of Sunday Riley, I have to admit that they manage to intrigue me enough to try their products time after time (see the CEO face oil and Vitamin C serum). And I usually hate to admit it, but I do like what I try, for the most part.

The Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum is highly raved, and it was one I had purchased as part of a value set. I did enjoy using the Luna oil, and this is supposed to be even better. I also had a few people tell me that they loved this one to bits, so I was high on my to-try list!

The Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag: Inexpensive and perfect for travel and everyday

A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you about my newest bag lust. Well, I did not end up getting it (yet) but I did end up with a new bag recently, that has me loving it to bits!

It isn’t wallet-busting, and it’s not only adorable, it’s incredibly useful too.

Meet the Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag – a mouthful!

The Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum joins the legions of Vitamin C serums to try

I’m a huge huge fan of Vitamin C serums, as many of you know, but I had not been using one in my skincare routine for a while. I put it down to laziness.

Wot? Me, lazy?

Yes, it happens to the best of us 😛

I try not to stockpile Vitamin C serums, because it’s quite an unstable ingredient, if served at maximum potency. Extremely effective, but unstable.

When doing my skincare audit of my stash, which I do from time to time, I dug out the Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum. Incidentally, when I shared a picture of it on Instagram recently, there was so much interest in it, I just had to bump up my review 😀

Cleaning Leather Bags: How I clean & care for my bags & preloved bags

how to clean luxury designer leather bags

I previously shared with you some basic tips on what to look out for when buying preloved luxury designer bags, and I also told you that when I receive them, I don’t send my bags to a bag spa for cleaning. Nope, I do it myself! 🙂

I don’t buy terribly damaged preloved bags, nor do I use my bags in a rough manner. I don’t baby them, but I don’t abuse them either. For the most part, my bags are kept clean, and with a little extra care, you can take them a long way and they’ll last you years and years!

I’ve also restored some preloved bags that arrived in a rather poor condition – dry leather, dirty and with marks on them, and with storage odours. I treat them all the same way, and I’ve found that it makes them as good as new; or if not, much better than when they arrived! 🙂
