So sometimes, I can’t do it.

This is sponsored content BlogHer and Olay.

So, there are days when I really can’t do it. I just don’t have the energy with a

newborn to put my full face of makeup on and do my hair. There are, however some staples that I do no matter what. I’m pretty confident that I could be on my deathbed and there would be things that I do makeup wise that just make me feel better about myself.

What are those things? Well, for me, chapstick (I have a slight addiction to chapstick, haha), eyeliner and now I’m adding Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration to the list. I am in love with what it has done for my skin! My super dry skin that I talked about four weeks ago is now smooth and hydrated.

Now that I have a newborn AND a toddler (yikes, 2 under 2!) I need things that simple, fast and that WORK! Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration simply is one of those products for me!

Feel like your moisturizer’s fresh feeling can’t last all day? New Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration instantly cools and leaves skin with a moisturized fresh feeling that lasts from morning to night. The lightweight formula also fights 7 signs of aging for younger looking skin.

I had my bag packed and everything ready to go, and if you couldn’t guess I am indeed one of those girls who takes makeup to the hospital. And a hair dryer. And my curling iron. Oh, and hairspray.

And in addition to that – this year I took my Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration. Because it still works great – I notice the difference and now, it is a staple in my daily routine! If you have sensitive skin like me or are looking for a moisturizer that isn’t greasy, comes in a great pump bottle, can be used every day and keeps working all day long…then you’ve got to give it a shot!

My Daily Makeup Routine

This is sponsored content BlogHer and Olay.

I have my makeup routine down to a science. If Chris is waiting on me to get ready so we can head out somewhere, all he needs to do is see what makeup step I’m on to know exactly how long it’s going to take me to finish.

That said, using a moisturizer is generally NOT part of my routine; simply because I’m allergic to most of them and the ones that I’m not allergic to always come in those tub type containers, and as I’ve mentioned, I can’t stand those. I don’t like getting the stuff under my nails, especially any kind of lotion.

When I was given the opportunity to try out the new Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration moisturizer I was pretty excited because my skin NEEDS it! My skin tends to be on the dry side anyway (something I’ve never understood because I drink a TON of water!) but when I’m pregnant it’s a nightmare! It’s so beyond dry that it’s not even funny…it gets to the point where I’ll even get red marks on my cheeks from it being so dry, and when you are as pale as I am, it really stands out!

So, I’ve been using the Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration for awhile now – applying it first underneath my makeup, and I am really noticing a difference! My favorite thing is how gentle it is on my sensitive skin. I can really feel and see a difference in the dryness and texture of my skin. Another great feature is that it isn’t greasy! I hate when moisturizers are greasy and you can feel it on your skin all day long. This product absorbs almost immediately, and then I put my makeup on and I don’t even notice it the rest of the day – but it’s still working!
