I don’t think there’s another skincare serum more lauded these days than Sunday Riley’s Good Genes. Heck, that spot used to go to the ubiquitous little brown bottle but these days, every other blogger’s going “OMG have you tried Sunday Riley’s Good Genes? It’s so good!“. At the time I first heard about it, I wasn’t very interested to be honest. I was already trialling a serum then and I didn’t think I had room for another just yet.
Then LeGeeque bought it, tried it and raved about it so much to me that I knew that I had to at least give it a go. I had a small sample sachet of it to try out and thought “oh why not”. She did warn me about the scent though (which I’ll discuss more about later) and when I used it, the smell turned me off. I didn’t get instant results but I didn’t expect to. I really didn’t like the scent so I told LeGeeque, nope, it’s not for me.
This was a number of months ago. More and more reviews of this serum popped up left, right and centre and it was long before I thought “okay, there must be something really good about this serum that people are willing to overlook that godawful scent for“. That was when I decided that I was going to splurge on a full-sized bottle.
Guess what? It was sold out almost Australia-wide. I couldn’t get it on the Mecca website, none of the Mecca stores I went to or called had this in stock. In hindsight, I should have just ordered one from Net-a-porter but at that time, the harder it was for me to get the serum, the more I wanted it. I know. I’m such a child. 😛
Long rambling intro aside, when Mecca finally restocked this, I snapped it up and gave it a proper go. I’m sold, folks. Totally sold. I finally know why so many people love this so much and I’m now going to tell you why you should get a bottle too.
