Archive for the ‘Oil of Olay’ Category

I’m fully aware this product is designed for women in their 40s, which I am not. But I’m all about the anti-aging products so I decided to set the fact I’m only 31 aside long enough to give this product a try. And I’m glad I did, because I absolutely love it.

I first heard about the Simply Ageless line courtesy of my comedic hero Ellen DeGeneres, who so enthusiastically talks about how young and flawless it makes her skin look in the Covergirl commercials. So when I saw it on sale at Ulta a month ago, I decided to try it out. Because if Ellen likes it, surely I will to. Granted, she’s getting paid millions to like it and I’m not, but that’s besides the point.

Made with Olay Regenerist Serum -this lightweight concealer “stays suspended over fine lines,” thus diminishing the appearance of those pesky crows feet and other wrinkles. It won’t completely erase them – it’s not Botox in a jar or anything – but it really does do a better job of covering up age related imperfections than other products I’ve tried. I also really love the texture – it’s super creamy without being too greasy which makes it really easy to blend while still staying in place throughout the day. And I have to admit, I’m surprised to have found a shade that matches my skin so well. I usually need to mix at least two colors together to get a decent match, but the 220 Medium/Dark suits my olive-tan skin perfectly.

Price wise it’s a little expensive for a drug store concealer – about $11.99 – but you can usually find it on sale for much cheaper. I paid $8.99 for mine, but I’ve seen it as cheap as $7.99. To me this is totally worth it even at full price, so I plan to continue using it. I may even try out the foundation since I love the concealer so much. Either way, as per usual, Ellen didn’t steer me wrong!

Verdict: LOVE IT!
Price: $11.99

You guys have been on me about doing monthly favorites videos, and since I’m always looking for more excuses to shop here’s my first one! This month I mainly featured drugstore products since the holidays are coming up and like many of you I’m trying to save a little money. My focus has mainly been on skin and haircare products lately since all this packing has made me realize I own more eyeshadow than any one human being should be allowed to, and perhaps I should start using what I have before buying more. We’ll see how long that one lasts!
