As a fan of Vitamin C serums, it was natural that I try the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Serum

I once declared that I was done with Sunday Riley. Well, as they say, those were famous last words.

While I am usually quite firm on my principles when it comes to these things, I found my resolve wavering some time last year.

There was a deal for a set of Sunday Riley products in a trial size on Cult Beauty or SpaceNK, and I’d been wanting to try the CEO range for a while. So, after dithering for a while, wrestling with my conscience, I decided to spring for it 😛 Principles, what’s that? 😛

The first item I tested was the Sunday Riley CEO Rapid Flash Brightening Serum. The reason I was keen on this one is because despite the name, it’s a Vitamin C serum! And you know how I feel about Vitamin C serums – I love them 😛

Happy I took a chance with the Trilogy Vitamin C Moisturising Lotion

A while ago, I shared with you my thoughts on the highly raved Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment, and I wasn’t terribly sold on it, unfortunately. So, I wasn’t half as keen to try its sister product, the Trilogy Vitamin C Moisturising Lotion.

But then, I ran out of my regular moisturizer, and when fishing around in my cupboard, my eye fell on this.

I thought to give it a chance.

And I’m glad I did! 😀

A 2 week trial with the freshly activated Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment

October 7, 2019 Paris B 6 Comments

It’s been a while since I shared a review about a Vitamin C serum. The reason is because I took a short break after using the last one. It wasn’t intentional but circumstantial.

After a month or so, I decided to get back into the groove, and picked up the Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment that I’d been sent to try. I thought it was intriguing, because it had a ‘fresh activation’ packaging, rather like the one from Clinique.

Even more interesting is that the Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment comes in a very small 12.5ml dose, and is recommended to be used up in 2 weeks. Little things like this often make me wonder about the product efficacy and potency, so I put it to the test.

Trying the Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster Serum reminded me of the perils of being a beauty blogger

Some time last year, Dior released a range of serums that you could customize to your skin needs. It was reminiscent of the Bobbi Brown Remedies range, and was a luxury brand’s answer to the plethora of more affordable brands catering to a similar need for customization.

I recently had the opportunity to try one of the more interesting ones (to me), when I found a bottle of the Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster Age-Defying Illuminating Serum in an event goodie bag.

I like products that promise a glow and radiance, and when I saw that it contained Vitamin C, I was very intrigued. It was opportune that I had just finished the Vitamin C serum I was using, so I decided to put this to the test.

About 2.5 weeks in, I was reminded of the perils I face as a blogger, trying new skincare LOL!
