Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream

I'm going to be honest with you guys when I say I don't think I've changed my skin care routine for quite some time. I think I've gotten it down to a T when it comes to the products  that I use because not only do they not break me out, they all work beautifully for my skin. What more can a girl ask for?!

I mean com'on...finding the right skin care products for you is like finding the perfect pair of jeans!

But the other day, as I was perusing through the shelves at Target, I stumbled across the newest Olay moisturizer and I couldn't help my amusement. Just the title itself was attractive enough - Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream.

And right then and there, I decided to put this little beauty in my basket and continued to the check out line. 

First things first, the packaging is beautiful. I love the simplicity in the packaging with its clear, glass pot and silver lid. The shape and size of the container is identical to that of their original Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Face Cream which have won a number awards already. Now on to the more pressing matter, the product on the inside.

The first thing you notice about the Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream is its scent. It's a lovely clean scent that isn't overwhelming. Rather, it's the signature Olay fragrant that I personally really enjoy.

I've been using this product for about a month now and I must admit, I love the addition to my skin care routine. I've definitely noticed a difference in my skin tone - in that it is more even throughout the entire face. Having been wearing makeup for a number of years in addition to the damage the sun has done, discoloration is not uncommon. However, after using this product, I've noticed that my skin tone is must more even now. I do noticed that this is a product that is suitable for all skin types as well. Personally, my skin type is normal  to combination and this isn't a product that's overtly oily where it'll clog my pores and give the appearance of a disco ball, something that is never in style! Honestly, this Olay miracle worker gives the right amount of moisture, all while giving your skin a natural glow and even skin tone.

I definitely recommend the Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream to those that have skin discoloration. It's an incredible moisturizer that evens-out your skin beautifully. And at $30.00 a pop, I don't think you'll find another similar product that works, with the same price range.

Stay gorgeous

Within Your Means

Thanks to tumblr, twitter, Facebook, and any other form if social media, we are introduced to things that we might not otherwise be introduced to. Extravagant cars, luxury handbags, red bottom heels; just to name a few. 

As much as we want to acquire all these amazing things, it's beyond important that we live within our means. Don't get me wrong, I catch myself doing this too. Of course I want a Celine handbag to add to my collection. But if the price tag is way out of my means, that should be a clear indicator that this isn't the time to buy it. The handbag will always be there, it could even get better with time, so why the rush?! Especially with a price tag like that. 

People these days are always looking for the next thing, with an even bigger price tag, that they "need". What's even more frustrating is that they've decided they they are going to depend on someone else to help they get this. But let me tell you, if you aren't the one that's working towards this goal, let's say, you won't appreciate it when you get it. It'll just be another thing you can cross off your to do list. 

But let's slow down a bit. Often times, you don't even "need" this thing. It's just a thing that you want, hoping that it'll help you fulfill some sort of emotion that you assume getting it will fill. But in actuality, it doesn't do anything besides adding another item to your wardrobe that you don't have room for or a vehicle that your garage can't fit. And before you know it, you're attention is on the new next thing. And the cycles just starts over again. Now the worst part of it all, not only are you not the one that's shielding out the money or if you are, you can't afford it and your bills are just racking up higher and higher! Ahhh

Of course, I'm not saying we can't or shouldn't splurge once in a while. If we've worked hard and want a little something something to congratulate ourselves, there's no shame in that! And let me tell you from my experience, it's so much more graitifying when I bought my 3.1 Phillip Lim handbag myself, with the money that I've hard worked hard for. Now everytime I look at that little beauty sitting in my closet, I only think of all the hard work that I personally put into to get it. I didn't have to count on or depend on anyone to. And ladies, that's the best feeling in the world!
