Looking for brighter skin? Reveal your bright with L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Influenster VoxBox
I received these products through Influenster VoxBox.
I truly and honestly have mixed feelings about L’Oreal Paris. Some products I like, some products I do NOT like and lately, their high price point is a big-turn off. I was surprised to receive this box and wanted to give these products a thorough run through (been using for 2 weeks) and give you an HONEST review.

Cleaning up with Olay!

I’ve been enjoying summer sans several hurdles (illness being a major hurdle over the past month). One thing that I have been doing is spending weekends at the family cottage several hours north in ‘cottage country’ -a term that I learned (by living in Canada) could be anywhere there are cottages. It’s a beautiful serene place, right on a lake. It’s rustic. I gave up being rustic (for the most part) in 2001 after my honorable discharge from the U.S. Army. However, I’ll compromise for the cottage….there’s a toilet, running water, and electricity. Still haven’t ventured into the shower there yet (probably never will). For that reason, when I get back-first order of business, take a thorough shower and CLEAN MY FACE & BODY. I’d like to walk you through some of the products I use to do this. Let me know in the comments below if you’ve tried any of these products and if you like them or not!
Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-aging micro sculpting cream with sunscreen: This anti-aging moisturizer hydrates to regnerate volume and shape across the skin’s surface. It’s supposed to improve skin’s texture in 4 weeks and visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles quickly with an Amino-Peptide Complex. This product also contains Broad Spectrum SPF 30.
My thoughts:
While I can’t say I have noticed a significant decrease in wrinkles (and I’d love to think I don’t have any significant ones), I do notice an improved skin texture. It’s also notable that I don’t see any increase in the amount of sun damage I have on my face either!
Olay Total Effects 7 in one Anti-Aging Moisturizer with sunscreen: This is a daily moisturizer that revives skin and helps protects against harmful UVA/UVB rays. Formulated with Its VitaNiacin Complex and skin conditioners, it fights 7 signs of aging for younger, healthier-looking skin. Its vitamin-rich formula helps reduce the look of age spots, instantly minimize the appearance of pores, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
My thoughts:
I don’t use this product in combination with the sculpting cream but do alternate using the two. I like this product more for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and minimizing pores. The sunscreen is an added bonus. I also like the consistency of this-it’s not runny and it’s not thick.
Olay Deeply Clean Mineral Face Cleanser: This daily facial cleanser lathers and cleanses without over-drying skin. Specially designed for oily/combination skin types, its natural kaolin clay formula controls shine and reduces the appearance of pores in just one use. Infused with a mineral complex, it draws out impurities like a magnet for a deep, down-to-the-pores clean. Dermatologically tested, oil-free, and noncomedogenic, this cleanser has the purifying power of a mask to leave skin looking healthy and brighter.
My thoughts:
I cannot get enough of this product. I love it as it reminds me of my charcoal cleanser from the Face Shop. I actually prefer this product as the Face Shop’s version dried my skin out! I have to agree with everything that is said-especially with the combination skin part (I don’t recommend for dry skin). I have combination skin and this is probably the best part of my nighttime skin care routine. This gets EVERYTHING off and leaves me nice and clean. I can skip astringent because I use this – which is not something I can say often. This is my ‘rockstar’ product out of these for sure.
Olay Fresh Outlast CoolingWhite Strawberry & Mint bodywash: This is designed to work with your skin’s natural pH. This lower sulfate formula has 3x more mild cleansers than before. It’s a fresh twist on cleansing. Aromas of white strawberry & mint leave you feeling refreshed and beautiful.
My thoughts:
This needs to be a cocktail….I’m thinking an on-the-rocks type of gin or vodka? Or maybe an upscale daiquiri? Either way, this is a great bodywash to use to feel clean and smell great! Apparently over time, it’s supposed to provide vibrant, fresh, skin. I’ll keep you posted.

Asian skin care-it’s not a new trend.
Vichy Cleansing beauty oil-take it all off!
Because I’m all about the pre-cleanse. Dermalogica introduced me to this and I’ve been hooked ever since. My quandry with cleansing oils is that I want to find one that works well for a decent price (um shu umera you are OUT of the running).
So I’m happy to say I have found a GREAT oil for a decent price. My wallet is loving me these days.
Vichy cleansing beauty oil contains the benefits of an oil and a cleansing milk in one step. It contains micellar technology to gently remove makeup and impurities and cameilia oil to improve softness, radiance and smoothness.
-contains soothing and fortifying Vichy Thermal Spa Water
-Paraben free
-Tested on sensitive skin
And it does a GREAT job on removing my waterproof mascara and eye makeup-this is one pass, holding the cotton round on each eye for 10 seconds.
Overall, I recommend this cleansing oil as a first step to your night time skin care routine. It will dissolve the dirt and impurities and allow your products to work better-what’s not to love?
Have you tried any cleansing oils? What’s your favorite and why?
I’m obsessing over…..powder formula face products and foaming scrubs!
Have you tried any of these products? Do you have any suggestions for me? I’ve been told elf makes a cleansing powder that is decent….
Let me know if you need more information on anything I’ve listed (where to buy, suggested retail).
