Want to know a little secret?

 

I've outgrown my usual make up routine...

 

Now, without making any reckless declarations about getting older my age being the culprit, I'm afraid the time has come to admit that the days when I could grab just any foundation and look amazing seem to be behind me.

 

Although I am blessed with fantastically agreeable skin, I have noticed little things that never bothered me before, such as the appearance of fine creases, mild discoloration from sun damage and dryness suddenly seemed to be magnified by my usual foundation. So I did what I always do when something quits working, I stopped using it. It's true... Two years ago, I stopped wearing foundation altogether. Even to work! And, although no one seemed to notice, I missed not only the routine of putting on my make-up but also how I felt when I left the house knowing my skin looked flawless and was protected from the sun.

 

For a while, I experimented with color correcting moisturizing foundations; however, after using four different kinds, I finally realized that it was the matte finish that bothered me. Despite claims of being luminizing, most rendered my features flat by erasing the natural shadows and highlights which are part of my facial landscape. So I went back to wearing no foundation at all.

 

But that was then and, this is now... Because three weeks ago, I was asked to review Olay Total Effects CC Cream - And, my face loves it! 

 

Total Effects CC Cream delivers everything Olay promises, which is a lot! See here:

 

This all-in-one triple stream formula combines a daily anti-aging moisturizer, SPF 15 sunscreen and sheer tint for younger-looking skin. 

 

Total Effects fights the 7 signs of aging:

 

Fine lines and wrinkles: reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Uneven Tone: balances and helps even out tone

Age Spots: reduces appearance of discoloration

Gentle Exfoliation: Improves surface cell turnover

Dryness: provides nourishing moisturization

Moisture Barrier: strengthens skin’s natural defense against moisture loss

Luminosity: recaptures youthful luminosity

I noticed a difference the first time I applied it! The dry areas below my hairline and eyes disappeared. And, the tiny lines around my smile, the ones where my usual foundation and other color correcting creams settle by 10AM, vanish the moment this beautifully light balm hits my face. All without erasing the natural texture of my complexion! This means less mannequin and more me... I like it!  

But the real proof that Olay's CC cream is different is in what I hear from others. Because when you're told twice in one day that you look refreshed or like you've just been for a facial, something magical is happening!

Fortunately for you, Olay doesn't want me to keep this secret all to myself. Therefore, I'm passing along the $25.00 Walmart gift card I received to one of my readers so that you may experience Total Effects for yourself! The price point is very reasonable, especially for the quality of Olay and the benefits you're sure to experience. Plus, a tiny bit goes a very, very long way! 

To win, all you have to do is leave a comment letting me know which of the seven signs of aging challenges you the most. For extra entries, don't hesitate to follow Olay on Twitter, like them on Facebook or mention/Tweet this giveaway and then come back to let me know that you did.

Winner will be announced on Thursday March 7th - Good Luck!
