Thoughts

My first thoughts about receiving this was "Oh, wow! It's a fancy spancy moisturizer".  Don't get me wrong I was happy to have received this through BzzAgent, and I was in need of a face lotion.  But really, could this help with fighting the good fight (the 7 signs).  Truth, am I really concerned on how my face looks in the department of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots.  No not really.  I've been told I look young for my age so again not a big concern but I'm sure some day it may catch up to me and if this fancy lotion helps me out then great.

Age spots.  I don't really have them.  So can't say much about that.  Acne scars yes but didn't see a big difference.  Which I expecting to?  No.

Dryness.  I did find it provided a good amount of moisture for a good amount of time.

Lines & Wrinkles.  Don't really have them.  So again.  Not much to report.  I do have laugh lines and I'm not like "OMG, NO!"  I have them, they showed with & without this moisturizer.

Uneven Tone/Texture.  I found after using for over a week, my skin to look more (hate to use this word but...) glowey.  I my uneven skin tone seem to get in sync more with each other :p  As for texture, not a noticeable difference.

Dullness.  Like mentioned before.  Skin seemed more "glowey" definitely after a few uses.

Pores.  I don't have a big issue about pores.  Their not that noticeable to me anyways, so if I wanted to try and hide them, this did help foundation/bb cream go on smoother.

Notes:  

Dont't use this as an alone sunscreen for your face.  I went out and was in and out of the sun and I still got a red face.  Nothing major.  But just use other sunscreen.  

First time use and afterwards.  Don't do a full pump.  Way too much.  Mistake on my 1st go around.  You barely need to use a half a pump.

Packaging/bottle.  All pretty standard.  Bottle is lightweight.  Why, that might be important, I don't know but it's something I noticed.  

Price.  About $24.  (Here at one of my local department stores)  Olay, is a well known/loved brand but this didn't work miracles for me so I can't justify spending that amount on this.

Thoughts:

This is going to be short and sweet (Like me!).  Maybe, not so sweet.  I didn't like this. Well, I didn't hate it, but I sure didn't like it.  I could take it or leave it.  And for now I'll take it, since it's my only current hairspray that I have and by gone it, I will keep using it till it's gone.  It's holds your hair nicely, through out the day.  It is brushable ... at first.  

My down fall with this is it leaves your hair feeling like your got a massive amounts of gunk in your hair and if you use it everyday it weights down your hair and it doesn't look that cute between washes.  

It does have a pleasant smell to it and this is probably just my bottle I received but it doesn't spray as well as it should (clogs a bit).   Nice, sleek packing.  Would I be going out and grabbing this again.  No.

Price.  $4 (One of my local dept. stores)  If you wanna give this a go.  By all means.  Can't beat the price.

I would like to thank #BzzAgent, #Olay, & #Pantene for sending these to me.

I #GotItFree in exchange for my input.

Biore Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips

I have tried Biore pore strips in the past, found them to be too drying.  With these new charcoal strips, I found them to be work very well.  Definitely a better fit for my nose (not overly wide that it spans underneath my eye area), the material used in the actually strip seems to work better than the past (comfort).  

After use you can see the icky gunk that has been lingering in your pores.  Some of the black "charcoal" residue is left behind after use but it is easily wiped off.  A tad bit dry afterwards but an easy fix with some lotion.  

Overall a good product and will consider purchasing in the future.  

Note:  I did receive this product for free from GlamSense, along with the Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser.  Which quickie review, does leave your skin feeling nice, cleansed, and refreshed but it didn't nothing for my problem pimple area (my chin). 

P.S.  Even got the hubby to give the strips a go, and he said he preferred these strips from once in the past. :p
