Olay Total Effects 7 Review

Oil of Olay has been used in my family for years.  As a child, I can remember my grandmothers nightly routine of taking care of her skin.  She used Oil of Olay night cream every night before bed.  I would sit and watch her wash her face and apply her cream.  She always had beautiful skin.  I am a little ashamed to admit this but I do not have a nightly routine for taking care of my skin.  I know, my grandmother would be upset with me. 




I was excited when I given the chance to review Olay Total Effects 7 in one Tone Correcting Moisturizer with Sunscreen.  No, it isn't a product for nightly routines, it is intended for use during the day.

First, I have to comment on the bottle.  Isn't it cool?  I definitely love the look.

The first time I tried Olay Total Effects I was impressed with how well it evened out my skin tone.  I could tell the biggest difference in my skin tone after having my second child and this product provided exactly what I needed to to even it out.  I chose the fair to medium shade and it was perfect for me.  It felt so light on my face like I wasn't wearing anything.  After just 3 days, I could tell a difference in how smooth my skin became.  During the winter, it normally gets so dry and this winter was no exception.  Olay Total Effects provided the extra moisture I needed.

It is also wonderful to wear a product with sunscreen. Olay Total Effects has a SPF 15.  Something I need to wear every day especially since spring is just around the corner.

I may not have a nightly routine but I have definitely started a new daily routine.  Since trying Olay Total Effects I have applied it to my face every day.  I would recommend this product.   In just a few days, I could already tell a difference.

Available in 3 shades:  Fair to Light
                                Light to Medium
                                Medium to Dark


Olay Total Effects fights 7 Signs of Aging:

- Age Spots:  reduces appearance of discoloration

- Gentle Exfoliation:  Improves surface cell turnover

The Biggest Way I Saved Money This Week

 

This week I started reviewing every bill looking for a way to lower our monthly expenses.  My biggest savings so far came from Directv.  I have been a customer of theirs for almost 10 years.  When we first moved into our home, cable was not available in this area so we had no choice to go with a satellite provider. 

I called customer service and asked if there was any way I could receive a discount since I was a loyal customer.  That didn't work.  My customer service representative kept trying to offer me another package with a $2-$3 savings.  That was not what I was looking for.  After repeating several times that I was calling to see if their was a discount available for being a loyal customer, he began to get a little frustrated with me.  At this point, I googled their competitor and started comparing what I could receive if I switched providers. He then transferred me to their promotions department. (Note:  Ask for the promotions department if you try this.  This where you get results!)  I spoke with a wonderful, helpful young lady who was able to give me what I was looking for.  I got a $25 discount off our monthly bill for 12 months plus I also received 2 movie packages FREE for 3 months.  

I was on the phone for almost 20 mins but I finally did accomplish my goal.  I was very happy with my outcome.  I plan to take advantage of the FREE movie channels and DVR some great movies to be used in the future for FREE entertainment. 

One phone call saved $25 a month, $300 savings for 12 months plus 2 FREE movie packages ($77.94 value) for 3 months.

Have you ever asked for a discount from your satellite or cable company before?
