We all know the name Mondavi, most likely because of the wine, but did you know that Lydia Mondavi has her own line of beauty products!? Don’t worry, I didn’t either until I stumbled upon them in Target. As soon as I saw the products I knew I needed to try them out. Instead of splurging on full size products, I opted for the skincare collection starter kit.
In the kit you get cream of the crop cleanser, d’vine day cream, pore purifying treatment pads, secret of the vine serum extract, and vineyard repairing night cream. What makes all of these products different from other brands is that they utilize grape seeds which have amazing anti-aging benefits. Here is a little excerpt from their website.
“29 is the first of its kind, an Age Protecting skin care and color cosmetic line utilizing the benefits of grape seeds. With over a decade of experience creating and formulating spa and beauty products for the luxury market and through designing and developing spas and resorts around the world, I realized that we are missing a very crucial step in our daily skin care regimen. Every product in our cosmetic bag should protect our skin from aging and be beneficial to our skin. Never before has a color cosmetic and organic skin care line created every product enriched with Age Protecting benefits of grape seed extract known for their protection against free radicals and pollutants, keeping your skin looking younger longer. Grape seeds are one of the most concentrated forms of anti-oxidants and over the past several years I have been formulating 29 to ensure that every product and treatment is enriched with their benefits to provide a completely Age Protecting skin care and color cosmetic line.”
In full disclosure, if you are really sensitive to smells of products this probably isn’t for you. It smells a little like Styrofoam which I think is really strange. My favorite product from the collection is the secret of the vine serum extract. My life changed when I starting using serums. They really transformed my skin, and this one is no exception.
All of the products are light, which is something that is mandatory for me in skincare products. After cleansing my face I don’t like the feeling of caked on products right after. The treatment pads are wonderful as well. They are great for toning your skin.
Overall I would definitely recommend this line of products. If you are looking to change up your skincare routine start here. You might be pleasantly surprised. You can drink your wine and your skin can as well. Let us know if you have tried them out.
