This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and OLAY.
I’m excited to share about a new product from Olay with you! As a new mom (again) sleep is a hot commodity around here. Translation: I’ve got some scary looking dark circles under my eyes!
Olay Total Effects Line & Dark Circle Minimizing Brush is a new product in my makeup arsenal that helps me combat the 7 signs of aging: dark circles, fine lines, puffy eyes, loss of firmness, uneven texture, uneven tone, and dryness.
Since I began using this new product I really have noticed a difference – especially in the dark circles, tone, puffiness and fine lines. I’m one of those people who slathers on the under eye concealer but I’ve noticed that I really haven’t needed it since adding the Total Effects Line and Dark Circles Minimizing Brush to my regimen!
It instantly makes me skin feel fresh and renewed. The brush is in a pen type applicator and you just push the end to disperse the product, which is flesh tone in color. It sweeps on gently and then I just massage it under my eyes with my fingertips.
I’m not one to go out of my house without makeup on, but this product really is simplifying my beauty routine. I don’t need to apply concealer, let it dry, apply it again etc. which I am SO excited about!
With a trusted name like Olay (Visit the Official site), you know this is going to work!

If I am in a real big hurry I just use soap and water at night to clean my face and remove my makeup...
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in a hurry I just put on some mascara and lipstick. It's not much but it helps.

I always make sure i wipe my face before I go to bed. I never sleep with makeup on. For a quick fix, i usually get a wash clothe and damp it with hot water and clean my face. and smtimes i just put some vasaline on my eyes and use a hot cloth to wipe it away!
ReplyDeleteWhen I get home from work and am really tired I try to wash my face then and not wait until bedtime when I am really tired. I cannot stand to sleep in make up.
ReplyDeleteeparker@arkwest.com
I use make up wipes to take my make up off and then splash cold water on my face before moisturizing!
ReplyDeleteAlways wash my face. If I'm too strapped for time to put much makeup on, I make sure I use mascara & lip gloss-- enough to make me feel confident!
ReplyDeleteaubreyfick@yahoo.com
If I am running late, wash my face, moisturize, a little foundation and mascara. Usually enough to not look scary.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I could do my makeup half asleep (because I do!) but I can't think of one part of it that I could take out because I feel like I have to have a full "face" on in order to leave my house unless I'm working out. But I really could not go without my cream eye liner!
ReplyDeleteBaby wipes are a great make-up remover! I always use them when too tired to wash! For make-up, a powder foundation, physician's formula vegas strip highlighter (cheeks, eyes, allover! Love this stuff!), mascara and gloss- easy peasy! And then a low messy bun! I am amazed at how fast I can be when needed! If I have extra time to begin with- I always somehow seem to end up running late- funny how that works! rose(dot)jennylee(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteTo simplify, I go all natural!
ReplyDeletedbowen@northstate.net
baby wipes! my go to, in a hurry trick!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in a hurry, I go all natural and hope no one notices! ;)
ReplyDeleteI make sure to always wash my face before bed and to always use lotion before makeup!

To save time, i wash my face in the shower with my face wash at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI love tinted moisturizer when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to put my face on.
ReplyDeletei simplify by just putting on lotion and lip balm, hydrated skin helps a lot.

ReplyDeleteTo simplify i generally just use some mosturizer and foundation :)
ReplyDeleteMy whole routine is simple. I don't wear too much makeup...but I do love concealer under my eyes. If I don't have much time, that and mascara can hold me over!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm in a hurry, mascara and chapstick will do the trick!
ReplyDeleteIf I am in a hurry-I use Bare Minerals and some blush..... it makes me feel polished and pulled together!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in a hurry, I use Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Mineral Correcting Powder on my face. I add mascara and a touch of lip balm, then I'm out the door. Sometimes I put a dab of light colored eyeshadow in the inside corners of my eyes--I read that tip somewhere a long time ago and it really brightens your eyes up!
ReplyDeletejenniferbeairsto at yahoo dot com
In a hurry- Olay moisturizer, mascara, blush and lip gloss! :) And I ALWAYS take mineral veil with me because it never fails that my face will get oily on me fast! Early.Erica@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have naturally curly hair which I like to straighten. But when I am running short on time curly it is!
ReplyDeletemelissa_aowens@hotmail.com
If I'm running late, I just throw mascara on and go. Can't live without my mascara!
ReplyDeleteI use baby wipes to clean off my makeup when I'm too tired to wash my face with face wash.
ReplyDeleteI simplify my beauty routine by not wearing make-up at all some days! :-)
ReplyDeletethanks!

I simplify my beauty routine by wearing my hair in a ponytail some days so I don't have to style it every day.

Tinted moisterizer and a pony tail holder is how I simplify my beauty routine!
ReplyDeleteMacara and lipgloss are my go-to for an awake face!
ReplyDeletemy favorite thing right now is a sparkly black headband. I can pull my hair back and put it on to instantly look like I took more time getting ready
ReplyDeleteI've simplified my makeup routine by switching to mineral makeup & mascara. It literally takes me 5 minutes in the morning to get ready, and with a 4 month old in tow, that's perfect! Plus, I love how light it feels on my face. I also shower at night & dry my hair then (the longest thing for me in my beauty routine), so I can just brush, straighten, or pull back & go in the morning, depending on how I'm feeling. I'm a lot less picky about what I look like these days, which is an awesome feeling. :)

Mineral make up! SO fast!! Also, on just at home days (I work part time) I just put on foundation and mascara, and maybe some blush. 3 min! It helps me feel a little prettier while changing diapers all day =)
ReplyDeleteI wash my face EVERY night. Can't go to sleep with make up on, no matter how tired I am!
Thanks for the chance to win! Boy could I use a Spa visit =) Or some dark circle remover!! Ha!

In a hurry, I wash my face, put on lotion/sunscreen, swipe my cheeks with my blusher brush, swipe my eyebrows with my eyeshadow brush (gotta love being a blonde), swipe my face with powder, and put on tinted lipgloss. Off I go not looking quite as scary.
ReplyDeletejfair007@gmail.com
In a pinch...lip gloss & mascara. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
ReplyDeleteI just go with little. I normally just do my face washing routine...or you could add lip gloss, etc.
ReplyDeletelauren51990 at aol dot com
I just wear primer and concealer with some lip gloss on my off days.
ReplyDeleteI never go to bed with my make-up on. I use bronzer to make my skin look better when I don't have a lot of time to get ready!
ReplyDeleteAt night, I usually just use one of the face wipes to clean my face.
ReplyDeletePS...I would LOVE to try this! :)
I simplify my routine sometimes by not putting foundation on, and only putting eye-shadow, mascara, and blush on. I can usually get by with these three things.
ReplyDeleteI don't wash my hair (it's naturally wavy) and instead brush it against the part and then back again for instant volume!
ReplyDeletei will just watch my face with soap
ReplyDeleteI rely on combo shampoo/conditioner to save a step in the shower. That's my go-to when I'm running behind!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in a hurry, I just use a loose powder mineral foundation to hide imperfections and skip the rest!
ReplyDeletesunscreen built into a powder
ReplyDeleteWhen I am tired, I use only soap and water.

I put on mascara and tinted lip gloss.
ReplyDeletei don't have much a routine - just keep it simple and natural ;-) soap and water,.... a baseball cap ;-)
ReplyDeleteTwo words - dry shampoo! It's a great way to get a second day out of your hair without washing and blow drying!

I keep the core products I need to get ready quickly on my bathroom counter. Then I put them on fast and am out the door
ReplyDeleteI don't wear much/any makeup, so I'm all about the bare minimum of effort! Not much to simplify - it's already simple.
ReplyDeleteI just throw on some powder and go out the door

I can be pretty lazy and if I'm tired I just skip the routine altogether and splash water on my face in the shower the next time I'm in it.
ReplyDeletelazybones344 at gmail dot com
when i'm tired i use a face cream that i can use near my eyes without having to apply my special eye cream
ReplyDeletenannypanpan at gmail.com
I'm all about simplifying. My hair goes up, I brush my face with powder and throw on some lip gloss. During the summer when I have more color in my face, it's even easier
ReplyDeleterugerpuppies at hotmail dot com
My beauty routine is to wake up before everyone else and just spend a few minutes relaxing in a hot shower. The day goes by so much better after that. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!

Most days I simply use soap and water on my face while in the shower. But when I want my face to look extra hydrated and feel noticeably softer, I use Olay Regenerist face wash. I can feel and see the difference!
ReplyDelete**How do I simplify my beauty routine when I'm tired:
ReplyDeleteI just do the minimum -- I don't apply full makeup. I use Concealer, Lip Gloss and Lipstick.
Thank You!! :)

I simplify by skipping the makeup and just using my natural beauty...well except for lip gloss :P
ReplyDeleteNo matter how tired or rushed I am my one beauty secret is to ALWAYS clean my face thoroughly

ReplyDelete[Congrats on the children!]
ReplyDeleteI'm a pediatric nurse and night shift worker. So I've got simple down to a science, since I don't have the energy to play with makeup most nights.
Noxzema to wash, to wake up my face, and Clinique to moisturize. A bit of lip gloss, occasionally a bit of sparkle for my hair, and I'm good to go.
This looks like it would be helpful those rare nights I do get dolled up and go out. I'll have to check it out.
I've been skipping toner and foundation for a while now, it saves a lot of time!

ReplyDeleteA good blush that also doubles as an eyeshadow. One quick sweep over the face and I'm done!
ReplyDeleteI always use moisturizer at night to save time in the morning rush.
ReplyDeletehlee99 (at) gmail (dot) com
I look for products that are multi-purpose, such as moisturizer with SPF protection. Saves time!
ReplyDeleteeugeniewu-at-gmail-dot-com
If I am in a hurry, I just moisturize, use mineral powder, eyeliner and lip gloss. It takes less than 3 minutes.

Mine is already pretty simple, but if I'm late or tired, I'll skip the bit of eye shadow I use. Never skip the mascara though!

To simplify I use just some moisturizer and bronzer in the summer time.

ReplyDeletekakihararocks@gmail.com
My "Oh NO!?!" routine is some deoderant, some mascara, hair in a ponytail, and a little lip gloss. Fortunately, I can still get away with this!
ReplyDeletepauline15_01 at hotmail dot com
When I'm short on time, I'll simplify by putting on my moisturizer (w/spf) and some lip gloss. Moisturizer makes any face look immediately better and you gotta have the sun protection too. Thanks!

When I'm really tired at night I skip taking off mascara. I wake up with raccoon eyes, but there's always a trade off, right?
