Have you heard of Olay Red Jar products? They’re exactly that, wonderful skincare product in a red jar by Olay. Everyone loves it, and raves about what wonders the Regenerist products can do for your skin. It’s true! Olay Red Jar products were put through 10 years of testing, against 131 skin products from 12 different countries. And guess what? Olay Red Jars came out to be on top! But which one of the Regenerist product is right for you? Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer, or Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream?

Olay Red Jars

Both Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer and Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream have Regenerist in their names. That is because both products contain Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – this vitamin is the “regenerator” ingredient that works hard to surface cells and strengthen skin’s natural moisture barrier. It also exfoliates to help remove dead, dull skin to help your skin look younger and healthier.

Another key ingredient both of the Olay Red Jars contain is Amino–Peptide Complex II . These chains of amino acids are known to signal the skin to produce more collagen. And we all know what “more collagen” means! It means you can say start saying hi to smoother, firmer skin when you look in the mirror.

In short, both of these Red Jar products speed up the skin regeneration process and give your skin a smoother and firmer texture.

Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer

Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer has a lightweight texture and a velvety matte finish. It’s perfect if you have oily, combination skin. The whip texture is so fluffy and soft and feels so refreshing. I love that it dries quickly and can be used as a make-up primer! I use this in the summer for a weightless feel and matte primer before make-up.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream (MSC) is rich and luxurious. This texture is great if you have normal to dryer skin. The MSC provides plumping hydration for your skin all day long, while visibly diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles from day 1. When the temperature gets colder and the air is drier in the fall and winter, I switch to Olay MSC for a full boost of hydration all day long.

With both Olay Red Jars Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer and Micro Sculpting Cream containing amazing ingredients working hard for your skin, and both products offer two different textures and finishes to suit your skin types and needs, there really is something for every skin. Have you tried Olay Red Jar products? If so, which one is your favorite?

All these are what I use so much every day and I cannot recommend enough. If you’ve been following the blog, you know I love the STILA Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner that I cannot live without. I use it every day, for all my makeup looks.

This Estée Lauder foundation is my go-to for a medium to full coverage look. I alternate between 2W2 (warmer tone and lighter) and 3N1 (neutral and a bit darker), sometimes mix the 2 together.

As far as contouring, it’s always such a tricky skill for me. And these two products have helped contouring so much easier for me. I first apply the FENTY BEAUTY Match Stix Matte Skinstick (I use shade Truffle for contouring), blend with my fingers. Then on my cheeks, I use a powder bronzer like the CLINIQUE True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer (in Sunkissed) to add more low light. I am showing how I do this on my IG Stories (will save into a Highlight). So be sure to head there and check out this easy 30 second contour technique!

Dressing room makeover for less than $100

February 5, 2019 - 2 Comments

Yes, I have a “dressing room” at home, which is basically a spare bedroom turned into where I get … dressed. It includes a vanity desk, a clothing rack, a wall cabinet that I use to display my shoes and purses, and a floor length mirror.

This room has a lot of potential to be super amazing and Instagramable. I liked it fine for try-on sessions and mirror selfies. But thought it could look a little better. So I decided to dress up the “dressing room” a little bit. See below for some BEFORE photos.

So I decided to add this wallpaper to make this an accent wall. The wall is background for my clothing rack, vanity desk and drawers. Applying the wallpaper was super easy. Here are some PROGRESS photos:

Halfway done!
Halfway!
The whole wall is DONE!

And now, TADA! After I added a wallpaper, re-arranged a few things. This room looks so much better now. I know it’s a little too Valentine’s Day themed right now, because we are in the month of LOVE. But the little decor items can be switched out easily. Let’s look at some AFTER photos below.

It’s amazing what an accent wall could do to a room. And the total cost for the wallpaper (plus a squeeze gee applicator) was about $85. The wallpaper was on sale for about $25/roll and I needed 3 rolls. So in summary, this is what I needed:.

Cost: ~$85.
Time: half a day.
Humans needed: 1 woman.

I’m amazed at how this wallpaper turned out. I maybe a little too obsessed and may start wallpapering the rest of the house now (just you watch and see). It’s so so easy and I didn’t need help from another person. Obviously, if you have help from someone else, it would be easier. But I did this by myself without any trouble. If you’re thinking of transforming your room, I highly recommend adding an accent wall with some fun pattern.

Quick tip for beginners: I quickly noticed I luckily picked a pattern that is more forgiving. Meaning it doesn’t matter much how I align the next strip of wallpaper. Other patterns may require more precise alignment of the strips. So if you’re a beginner, pick an easier pattern to start!

So what did you think of the newly added accent wall to my dressing room? Would you consider adding wallpaper to your space? Let me know in the comments below! I would love to see your room too if you transformed your space with wallpaper.
