With this time and age, we are all time poor and is constantly finding ways to find peace, calm and time saving methods. Well, lucky for us Olay has recently launched a serum and moisturiser combo – the latest Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Cream + Serum Duo.
Olay Total Effects was first conceived over 10 years ago when an extensive survey discovered that women across the globe, despite their differing ethnicities and geographies, were concerned about similar signs of ageing.
The NEW Olay Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo fights the seven signs of ageing by:
1. Line Minimisation: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
2. Tone Enhancement: Evens and balances skin tone
3. Age Spots Treatment: Reduces appearance of age spots
4. Gentle Exfoliation: Smoothes and evens skin texture
5. Nourishing Moisturisation: Soothes dry skin
6. Reduction of Dullness: Gives skin a healthy radiance
7. Pore Refinement: Minimises the appearance of pores
This week, five lucky winners will walk away with the new Olay Total Effects Moisturiser and Serum Duos with SPF 15 each. Each product is valued at RRP AUD$32.49.

The Body Shop Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream
RRP AUD$21.95
The only form of absinthe I am previously familiar with is the alcohol form. I had no idea it could be an ingredient for hand cream too. The Body Shop has combined absinthe extract and skin loving ingredients in this hand cream – designed to banish dry skin and bad odours. Texture wise, this is gel like, light and is infused with refreshing botanical fragrant that is soothing and moisturising with a fresh sensation.

Dove Pure Deodorant
RRP AUD$5.25 (aerosol) $3.89 (roll on)
When it comes to deodorant, I use them 365 days a year and prefer aerosol as compare to roll on simply because they dry quicker and less sticky mess. However, aerosol form deodorant used to irritate my sensitive skin and I have since go for deodorants that are designed for sensitive skin and look out for common irritants like no fragrances, parabens, colourants and alcohol. Dove Pure Deodorant range ticks all the boxes and keep underarms feeling dry and healthy.
L’Oreal Nude Magique CC Cream & BB Blush
CC cream – RRP AUD$26.95
BB blush – RRP AUD$22.95
Following their cult selling BB cream, L’Oreal Nude Magique is at it again. This time with a CC cream focusing in colour correction (great if you have heaps of redness to balance out). I did find that the CC cream a little too green tone for my liking as I don’t have much redness to combat and it makes me look either too yellowy finish; so it is still BB cream for me. As for the BB Blush it IS something I like, reminds me of Smashbox’s O Glow that was released many years ago, this heat reacting gel transform into a rosy pink finish as the transparent gel touches the skin.
As it is the month of giving, here is another giveaway from L’Oreal this time. I have three packs for three lucky winners to walk away with L’Oreal’s Shine Caresse Lip Colours to giveaway and each pack contains three very wearable shades – #200 (Princess), #400 (Eve) and #402 (Milady).
All three shades are bit more pigmented (my picks!) as compare to the lighter shades from this collection. These glosses has the pigments of a lipstick but still leaves a glossy shine finish. Detailed reviews coming soon. I hope you’ll love them as much as I do.
How to win it:
Leave a comment below and tell me which do you prefer – lipstick or glosses and why? Personally, I prefer hybrid lip products because they are unique and often the colour pay off + results is better too. Can’t say no to products that are best of both worlds.
