Some of my friends laugh at me when we go out because I am usually a Plain Jane kinda gal. I don’t wear a ton of makeup…or do I? My makeup routine takes so little time to go through that when I am traveling with friends, I am often left sitting and waiting for the rest of the ladies to get ready. My makeup routine may only take 5-10 minutes tops, but I still walk into whatever venue we’re visiting that night looking as gorgeous as the rest. It’s called QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. As I don’t like to waste a lot of time getting ready for evenings out (or anything for that matter), I have learned to use a few tried and true products that make me look fabulous, even if they only take a few minutes to apply. While some friend embrace beauty trends like the cat eye eyeliner look, smoky eyes, etc – none of that has ever really appealed to me and I really love my more natural look. The most important thing about my personal makeup routine is how my skin looks, and Olay Whips fits right into that routine perfectly!
As you know, I’ve been using Olay products for ages. I recently starting used Olay Whips as part of my routine, but with a twist – I use it to moisturize before putting on my makeup! It’s not your average lightweight moisturizer, oh no! In addition to being a powerful hydrating tool (which is so important as I am getting older), it is perfect for doing my makeup because it instantly absorbs into my skin, so there’s no waiting around for it to dry before applying my BB cream.
Olay Whips contains a unique formula that absorbs oils in your skin throughout the day so you have a nice dewy finish, with velvety smooth skin. While I’ve never used a primer (remember, simplicity is key to my makeup routine), you don’t even need one with this great moisturizer! I love the way my skin feels after applying, and it saves me time when getting ready since it absorbs so quickly!
My daytime makeup routine includes the Olay Whip Regenerist moisturizer, a tinted BB Cream with SPF coverage, a pressed powder, illuminator around my eyes, blush, mascara and lipstick. For nights, I just add a little shimmery eye shadow and black eyeliner. I told you – I keep it simple!
Mascara makes SUCH a difference for me, and I wear it whether I am getting ready to go out during the day or night. I seriously don’t leave home without wearing mascara.
I had planned on doing a whole “Big Night Out” makeup look for a black tie event on a work trip recently, but I got seriously ill and wound up spending 4 days in bed…no big night out for me! When I came home from Chicago, I was so dehydrated that my Olay Whips REALLY came in handy!
There are a few options with the Olay Whips line, which include: Regenerist: Powerful Wrinkle Results Without Heaviness, Total Effects: Ultimate Nourishment Without Weight, Luminous: Lasting Radiance Without Shine! Try the best one for your skincare needs!

It sounds like the perfect addition to my routine also. It feels silly calling it a routine since it’s so low maintenance. Now that my skin is showing some age, it’s more important than ever to moisturize!
As I get older I have noticed a dryness of my skin, and I have been adding products like this to my beauty routine. I will have to try this out, seems like this would be a big help.
That’s the one makeup brand I know well. My mom used to swear by it back in the 70’s when everyone still called it “Oil of Olay”!
I have a daughter that has dry skin, this could be the perfect product to help it out, especially in the winter.
Olay is timeless. They always have easy to use products that work!
