Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Concentrate

OLAYS DONE IT AGAIN with Another Great Product

I'm a cosmetic/skin care junkie [there, I've said it out loud] and have been a faithful user of the Regenerist line for years and highly recommend it. When Olay's NEW roll-out, Miracle Boost hit the shelves I "had" to try it and I'm not in the least bit disappointed. According to Olay's web site, Miracle Boost is designed to "prep your skin" before moisturizer and thereby "boost" your skins absorption rate for whatever follows it. Following Olay's directions, I now use it as a "first layer" followed by the products I normally use [Vit A cream + Micro Sculpting Cream in PM - Vit C serum, daytime moisturizer in AM.] So far, I'm very impressed! Here are my initial thoughts on Miracle Boost: Pros: glides on like satin [similar to Olay's original serum but only slightly thinner /runny] and has a somewhat oily texture that sinks into the skin quickly [no "oily" feeling left on skin] no offensive odor [but it would have to smell like a city dump before I comment negatively] leaves skin extremely soft and smooth so far, none of the serums, creams or moisturizers have "pilled" when applied over this product [big plus, as having your moisturizer/ foundation begin to peel or roll up in small balls as you apply it is very annoying!] Packaging- It is well,.... different! It's a cross between a pump and a dropper bottle! Must admit, after pumping the top way too many times with no results....except for a really stupid feeling! I reread the instructions! Now that I've figured out how to use it, I like the concept of a "pump dropper" as it dispenses just the right amount of serum with no waste. {thumbs up for that!} Since not everyone's skin is the same, my opinion/review is based upon my 68 year old thin, fair skin that is only slightly sensitive. .

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

Best Ever Foundation

I've used EL Double Wear foundation since if first came on the market and have never strayed. I have fairly oily skin and always had trouble with foundation staying on my skin until I tried Double Wear! It stays put even while swimming and does not sink into lines and wrinkles, the colors offered should match almost any skin tone. Wonderful product I do not wish to live without.

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

Good as a final top coat mascara

Will agree this does have an odd smell, but I did not find it lasted that long! Actually, I like this mascara. I use it as the final top coat over my standard mascara, gives added length and color plus a neat shine.

Obagi Professional-C Serum

Good Product

I have only been using Obagi C-Serum for less than a month, but so far I am impressed. I use the C-serum in the AM and Afirm 2x cream at night. After spending many hours online researching anti-aging products that actually work, I discovered the Obagi line. With all of the positive reviews by dermatologist, I decided to try the 10% C-serum. I will turn 60 in a few months and am thus far very impressed as my skin feels and looks more firm since I began using this serum. I even received the ultimate compliment from an friend:" you are the youngest looking 59 year old I've ever seen"! Now, that did make me feel good!

Afirm Afirm 2x

Wow!

I started using Afirm 1X 6 months ago after spending hours on the internet researching antiaging products that actually work! After using the 1X, I advanced to the 2X cream and I love it! I am dangerously close to 60 and my skin is softer & firmer after using Afirm. I have fair & somewhat sensitive skin which is why I did not progress to the 3X cream. I occasionally have some very minor flaking & when this happens I avoid using the cream on that area of my face for 24 hrs. I am now on my 3rd tube and will continue with this wonderful product. I believe the secret to using Afirm is to start out with the 1X and go from there!
