SUMMERTIME TRAVEL - OLAY FOAMING FACE WASH

I don't know about you, but when I travel I am somewhat hesitant about bringing my more expensive face care products.  I worry that I am going to forget that expensive face wash and moisturizer at the hotel, or that it gets lost along with my luggage. So I like to travel with products that are good, but don't cost a great deal of money.  One of the products I use to clean my face is Olay Foaming Face Wash.  It is made for sensitive skin, fragrance free and 100% soap free.  Therefore, my face doesn't feel as if my skin has been sanded down with sand paper.  And for those with oily skin, it will definitely help balance your skin.

Olay Foaming Face Wash Directions for Use

On occasion I have used the cleanser with my Clairisonic.  I have gotten great results.  It really helped get rid of those dead skin cells, and left my skin smooth and clean.

You also get a lot of product for your money.  The Olay Foaming Face Wash costs $4.99, and comes with 7.0 oz of cleanser.  And as much as I love my Philosophy Purity, you have to admit that if you accidentally leave this in your hotel room, you are not going to feel it in your wallet as much.

Bottom line, if you are on a budget or just don't want to travel with your expensive beauty products, I recommend that you give this cleanser a try.  Olay Foaming Face Wash is gentle and not greasy.  It improved my skin texture and left it feeling clean and moisturized.  This cleanser can be used on all types of skin, even oily and dry.  Also, since it does not have any fragrance, it is that much more gentle on your skin.

The Olay Foaming Face Wash may be purchased at your local drugstore, www.ulta.com and www.drugstore.com.

Happy travels!

Wet N' Wild Megalength - Does It Do Its Job?

While shopping at Wal-Mart the other day, I came across this mascara; Wet N' Wild Megalength Mascara.  It promised 80% longer looking lashes in just one sweep, and at $2.97, how could I go wrong?  Well, sometimes you get what you pay for, and in this case it held true.

Now don't get me wrong.  I was not expecting miracles at $2.97.  But I was hoping for a little more than what I got.  The packaging was not very impressive. I have never been a huge fan of plastic bristles for mascara.  I find that it underachieves, and you never get a fully polished look.  With the Wet N' Wild Megalength Mascara I found the wand to be very flimsy.  My lashes were separated, but I did not think that my lashes appeared longer than they usually do.

My lashes are naturally dark, and I like mascaras that make my lashes appear darker than they are without mascara.  I noticed with this mascara there was very little intensity in color.  Yes, the mascara was black.  But I disagree with Wet N' Wild when it calls this mascara "very black."  When looking for a dark mascara, I think of Maybelline's GreatLash or Tarte's Amazon Clay mascara.  But in this case, the color was just plain old black.

There is one redeeming quality about this mascara.  While it does not work for your upper lashes, it works well for your bottom lashes.  The small bristles work well at getting the bottom lashes to show.  Sometimes with an average size wand, I have problems getting my bottom lashes to show as well as my upper lashes.  So if you are like me, with mouse like bottom lashes then go pick up a tube of the Wet N' Wild Megalength Mascara.

In the end, if you are searching for a good quality mascara that lengthens your upper lashes I would pass on this mascara.  However, if you are planning on using the mascara for only your bottom lashes, then I would recommend the Wet N' Wild Megalength Mascara.
