Over the past year, I’ve participated in a year-long partnership with Olay. Today, I am recapping my experience as being a member of their #FearlessSquad.
I had the opportunity to try out three Olay products: Olay Whips, which I was pretty familiar with, Olay Sun, which was new to me, and the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream.
Before we chat about the products — let’s talk about Olay’s “Face Anything” show at NYFW last September. It was an incredible experience that they hosted where they selected real women (a mix of influencers and notable public figures, like Aly Raisman, Lily Singh, and more), and had them walk down the runway without makeup. Before the show, they were asked to take part in Olay’s 28-Day Challenge, and used a customized set of Olay products on their skin for 28 days straight (I’ve participated in the challenge before, and it works wonders on your skin!) The concept is to only use three Olay Products, a cleanser, eye cream and moisturizer, for 28 days.
Seeing these women walk down the runway, sans makeup was incredibly empowering, and it was great to see one of my favorite beauty brands represent at NYFW.
Olay Whips product has been a favorite of mine for many months now. It is super lightweight, but still incredibly moisturizing, and it can also double as a primer. Perfect for those of us who like to sleep in and skip as many steps in the morning as possible! You can view my previous posts chatting about Olay Whips here, here and here. They even have versions of Whips that have SPF 25 in them, and also Fragrance-Free versions, so IMO, there’s a Whips out there for everyone!
Olay Sun with Shine Control was a new product launch that I enjoyed, and have been using nonstop ever since I received it this spring. My t-zone gets super shiny in the summer, and I love that this product helps mattify my skin and control shine, plus it goes on smooth and isn’t greasy. You can view my full detailed review about Olay Sun here.
If you have drier skin and are looking for the right “Red Jar” product for your skin type, Olay’s Micro-Sculpting Cream would probably be a solid bet for you. My t-zone is super oily, so I’m more of a Whips gal, but you can take this quiz to find the ideal Red Jar moisturizer for your skin type. One major benefit to their Micro-Sculpting Cream? It’s one of the best anti-aging moisturizers on the market right now!
Overall, I love how accessible Olay products are — you can grab them from almost every major grocery store, drug store, and at retailers like Ulta. I’m looking forward to Olay’s new product launches for the second half of 2019, and thank them for having me as part of their #FearlessSquad over the past year!
