Olay TE Review

This review is actually long overdue. I got sidetracked with a lot of things so I'm doing this just now.

I bought Olay TE cleanser and Olay TE 7-in-1 anti-ageing cream about a month ago. I was really excited about these products that I immediately tried them right after I got home and I liked what I saw for the first couple of days of using them. I wake up in the morning with my face being less oily than it used to be. However, after a week of using Olay TE, I noticed some rashes on my face and some white bumps developing on my chin. Now, I'm not really sure if it was caused by Olay TE or by Maybelline's full-coverage foundation because those two are the only new products I've been using. It could also be a reaction to using both so just for good measure, I stopped using them for a week. I allowed my skin to heal and breathe and resumed using Olay after a week. So far, so good. I haven't had any recurrence of those rashes or whiteheads and hoped that won't happen again since Olay TE is kinda expensive. I might try their White Radiance line after I finished this since that has been getting better reviews than Olay TE.

With the Maybelline Full-Coverage foundation, I just used it twice since I resumed using Olay TE and so far, it doesn't cause any more breakouts on my skin. I still hate the smell though! Eek! I might do a separate review on this though..

So how's your weekend so far, ladies? :)

Recent Haul

Okay, so I know I haven't been posting anything lately. I've just been uber busy and a bit preoccupied with some family matters but I've been reading on a lot of our sisters' blogs here every now and then.

So on my with my latest purchase. I've been hearing a lot of good reviews about Olay Total Effects but I was always worried that I may not be "hiyang" with their products. They're a bit expensive and if I buy something and it turns out I'm allergic to it, I'll be wasting a lot of moolah. However, the call of beauty (teehee!) was really strong so I finally decided to get myself their Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 anti-ageing cream. I got the blemish prone/oily variant since I tend to have breakouts every now and then, especially when I'm stressed. I was also convinced by the SA to get their TE Cream Cleanser. I tried them both yesterday and to my pleasant surprise, they actually feels good on my skin. I'll do a review on it in a month or so.

So here's what it says on the packaging:
