Murad Sun Undone Kit

beautybonusLeave a comment

Another slow day, so I wanted to highlight this Murad value set at Sephora. I love Murad products and this line is one of my favorites. In the Sun Undone Radiant Skin Renewal Kit you get four travel size products (a $77 value) for only $45. This kit includes Essential-C Cleanser (1.5 oz), Active Radiance Serum (0.33 oz), Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30 (0.7 oz), and Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel (0.25 oz). (I also love Murad’s anti-aging acne products for adult acne: SPF moisturizer and serum.)

Note: I also found this kit for purchase at Skin One. They offer free shipping with every purchase, plus if you purchase two Murad products you will receive three extra Murad deluxe samples (just click on the banner at the top of the page to add the extra samples to your cart).
