These are my thoughts on everyday life. These are things that are happening to me or have happened to me. Sometimes it is personal, sometimes its just plain funny, or even out right raw, but this is my life and that's all there is to it.

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream Review.
Alrighty! Here is another review post, because I actually really love doing these. Why? Well, mainly because it gives people a real person review on a company's product, and not just what we see on the tv for advertisements.
Once again this product I received complimentary from Influenster in the SunKissed VoxBox.
I had already been using a BB cream before I received this one, even though I REALLY wanted to try this one since it has been out and I got so lucky to be chosen to receive a VoxBox with it in it to try. What is different about this BB cream compared to my other is that it actually has SPF 15 in it, which we all know is super important to have for our skin especially in the summer time with being outside more. We should however be wearing some type of SPF on our skin everyday which makes this product even better. It also provides 24 hour moisturizers, which I personally was concerned about due to the way my skin is on my face, it is acne prone, can be oily mainly in the T-Zone and dry on the cheeks. I didn't want the moisturizer to start a huge skin production over drive by creating an oil slick right on my face. It hasn't, and it also hasn't broken out my face like I thought it may.
Another thing is it provides sheer coverage...what does that mean? It is a TINTED type moisturizer that is also a skin perfecter as well. I can totally hear the song "Blurred Lines" in my head mainly because it does just that...blurs out blotchiness (I know that isn't a word!) and imperfections making a nice clean flawless looking canvas. Obviously, if you have some serious trouble areas like I do sometimes, do not expect it to cover that completely and make it disappear, because it won't, you may need a little extra help with a light concealer specifically on those trouble zones.
Isn't this packaging so cute? So fun? So Inviting? Yelling clearly "Open me! Try me!" I totally did both.
Words are just words though right? We want to see pictures...results...the thing to make us believe something is worth it! Guess what? I have just that!
Let me just say, I am far behind in the technology world meaning, let's hear the gasps from the crowds....I do not have a smartphone yet. So, I had to do some research to create a mosaic type effect to provide the type of look I wanted to share to show side by side the differences, this is the best I could do. Basically the top picture is nothing on my face, that is my natural self, then below is me putting the BB cream on, I also want to state a LITTLE really does go a long way with this product, so what you see in my picture was actually too much, forgive me I got BB cream happy. The photo on the right is my final picture, I had just set it with some HD translucent powder from NYX, put some mascara, and eyeliner on to pull it all together.
I really do recommend this product to try. It washes off sooooo easily too! It retails at Walmart for $10.97 which is what I looked up online on their site. Either way, they've won me over and I haven't touched my other BB cream since!
