Olay fresh effects bb cream review

I am so excited to be reviewing this product for you guys for a couple of reasons. For one, it's just a great product! For two, testing this out has really shown me that I can be wrong. I said in a video a couple weeks that I was loving the BB cream that I was using, and so there was really no sense in me trying anymore if I loved the first one I tried. Well, I am so glad that I received this BB cream in my influenster sunkissed voxbox! I probably never would have tried it otherwise and I LOVE it! Check out the photo below and see the difference! Before the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream and After. You can see the sheer coverage and how flawless my skin looks!

Left: Before Right: After

This product is fantastic! It's a skin perfecting tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. It contains broad spectrum SPF 15, which is fantastic for the summertime. It's very light weight, sheer coverage that works perfectly for the super hot weather we have been having here where I live in southeast Michigan. It provides sunscreen, moisture and a bit of lightweight coverage without being heavy on the skin. No one wants to use super heavy face products in the hot heat of summer. This stuff glides on nice and light, protects your skin from the sun and covers flaws while still letting your natural beauty shine through. I like that it gives enough coverage to cover imperfections, but still let's my freckles shine through. I love my freckles! I think they are beautiful! Of course, you still need a concealer if you want to cover dark circles or blemishes. But for a day my the pool or at the beach this is just enough coverage for me! I really like it!

For reference, the shade I got is Fair to light and it's the perfect shade for my skin!

Olay gives the following claims for this product:

• Refreshes skin instantly
• Brightens for a radiant glow
• Evens tone with a splash of sheer color
• Hydrates for 24 hours
• Smoothes for softer feeling skin
• Protects against UV damage with SPF 15 

I feel like it definitely does all these things. I am not just saying this because I got this product complimentary to test out. I really like it that much! It's all I have been wearing since I got it, and I highly recommend you guys try it too! you won't be sorry!

Summertime Face of the day!

Today I thought I would share with you a look I put together a couple days ago. It's a great summer appropriate look. It's light weight coverage that you don't have to worry too much about sweating off throughout the day. The eyes are a nice dark neutral look. With just a bit of shine on the lips.

I started out by applying the Olay BB Cream. I really love it! I received in complimentary from influenster in my sun kissed vox box and it's a great lightweight product with a decent amount of coverage. I topped it with a translucent powder. I used the Elf baked bronzer to really warm up my face, and the blush I chose is a nice peachy pink with golden shimmer. I layered the powder blush on top of the cream blush for the ultimate in staying power. 

For the eyes, I used Mac Painterly as a base to neutralize and veins of discoloration. I applied the jumbo eyeshadow stick from Elf all over my lid and then packed Buck on top of that. I used naked to blend buck out. and then applied virgin to my browbone as a highlight. Then I filled in my brows using the elf eyebrow kit in medium. Then I lined my eyes with the gel eyeliner as well as adding it to my water line. Then I curled my lashes and applied a couple coats of mascara. 

For my lips I just applied a bit of lip balm and then the maybelline color whisper in lust for blush for a nice neutral color. I added just a bit of the juice beauty gloss in pink for a nice glossy look.
