BlogHer is doing a review program for Olay's new product New Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo and asked if I was interested in trying it out and doing a giveaway.
I love Olay products so much I think I completed the form in about 2 seconds. I've always had fine hair on my face and really don't like it. I've even gone to the point of using Jim's electric razor on it a couple of times! I have a friend who has the smoothest skin, and I've always thought to myself that if I could try something that isn't too expensive to have smoother skin like hers, I'd love to.
Well, since I received the product from BlogHer for free, I was all about giving it a try. I received the New Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo yesterday and was anxious to see if it would work. I have sensitive skin so I wanted to see if would be safe for my skin or cause me to break out in a rash.
So, today I took the chance of my face turning into a big red mess and tried the product. I am not sure what the retail price is for the New Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo, but I think it'll be worth saving for, even if it's a little pricey for me.
I love how young and feminine my smooth face looks and feels. I don't feel my age, and I felt like the hair on my face, although light and fine, was noticeable enough to make me look older. I really couldn't believe it took the hair right off!! I was actually excited to write this post to tell you all about it.
I hope I don't ever have to use my husband's electric razor again. This took 8 minutes, and that's it! The fewer things I can do to simplify my morning beauty routine, the better! It was gentle on my skin; I felt a little bit of a tingle but not bad at all, and it worked! I'm a fan.
So, if you want to be entered to win a $50 gift card, courtesy of BlogHer and Olay, here's the scoop!

I am going to have to try that product out! Oil of Olay has so many great things out there for us ladies.=) Would love to win the giveaway!
Happy New Year to you and your precious family!
amomentintime@live.ca You are so sweet to do a give away..thanks so much..please add me as an entry
I'm also a red head and have that same light fuzz on my face. Drives me crazy!
Seriously, I love it. I didn't realize just how bad the little fuzziness was until it was all gone! My make-up went on so much better and looked SO much better. I'm glad I tried this. I think it says you can use it as frequently as every 72 hours, but mine took a good week to grow back! It was still blonde when it grew back too. ;)
I love Olay and didn't know about this product! Definitely need to try it out, thanks for making me aware!

When I started reading this I decided I was going to deny that I actually need a product like this...but will be looking into it. Who doesn't want to look a little younger and fresh faced! I try to pull the hair with teazers..
How wonderful! I'm glad you like the product and had great results :-)
I am going to have to try this out. It sounds great!
I've been wanting to try that, but have hesitated to spend the money without knowing if it would work. It's nice to hear an honest review!
You are going to have to keep us posted on whether or not it keeps growing in blonde! My worst fear is it growing back dark!
I will have to try this! My facial hair sounds like yours....pretty light, but I still don't like it! :)
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! Happy New Year to your beautiful family!

I will have to try this Olay product. My mama practically lives by her Olay products. I've never paid that much attention to one product over the other but I enjoyed your review and think I may want to try this one.
Whether I win or not, I'm going to have to try that product. I've had problems with facial hair since college, and that was over twenty years ago! And while it was just a little bit back then, it is a LOT now. :(
Sounds like a winner! I may just try it out!

You've convinced me to try it out! My beauty routine usually expresses my inner beauty via the organic and/or local ingredients in my beauty products (reflects my concern for the environment and small local businesses).

Would love to win. My favorite Oil of Olay product is a tinted moisturizer. Perfect for us moms with no time to primp:)
Love Olay Products! I use their Night Cream. Would love to give this a try.
Thgis sounds like a product that I definitely need!! I would love to win this.
My daily Beauty routine certainly focuses on inner beauty and cleanliness. With a two year old mess maker watching my every move, I brush my teeth, apply deodorant, and make sure my curly hair doesn't stick up too badly. For a special occasion, I might get out my make up bag.
My beauty routine is quite simple. I avoid complicated process and all for multi-purposed products. Pretty much like who I am, easy and simple.

I have been wanting to try this out, but always thought it was a little pricey. After reading your review, I think I'm going to go for it anyway!
I have the same problem! I hate those fine little hairs. I'll have to try this product.
Would love to win! My beauty routine is to wash, moisturize, then clog it all back up with make up :)

I tried this last November,'011 in hopes of removing menapause from my face and am very pleased with how it treated my skin. I've used Oil of Olay for years, but removing hair from your face is trickier and scary. My skin was not irritated at all, just a little tingly as it worked, but no redness afterwards-yay!
It is now January and I just noticed yesterday under the harsh work lights, that it's time, so another benefit of removing facial hair this way is the length of time it lasts. I love Oil of Olay!

by being as natural as possible! Just a little lip gloss and mascara!
I like to keep things simple! But the more I care for myself (through my beauty routine), the better I feel about me, and this translates into how much better I treat those around me!

My beauty routine is quite simple but allows me to express my inner beauty because I look and feel natural and younger and when I feel my best, it helps my confidence and mood. Thanks!
Sounds like a good product :) I have a fair amount of fine blond hair on my face, that seems to be increasing with age (sigh)!
I may have to try it! Thanks for the chance to win.
Ohhhh, I'm going to have to try that! I hate the little fuzzies! :)
My beauty routine expresses my inner beauty because it makes me realize that simple is best. I wear little (eyeline) or no make up, so I'm forced to feel pretty, even when I might not feel my best!

I love Olay! I use Regenerist products - great results at a reasonable price vs spa and salon products.
Thanks for the review and the chance to win!!
I express my inner beauty through swimming 3 times a week which energizes me and keeps me fit.
Thanks for the contest.

My inner beauty is expressed by making sure that I wash my face before I go to bed every night...after years of falling into bed with make-up on, I've now realized how much better my skin looks and feels when I take that extra step each night. Thanks for the chance to win the GC!
I use Olay moisturizer, mineral makeup, sunscreen, Fake Bake tanning spray (instead of tanning bed) eat lots of fruits & veggies, drink lots of H20. It leaves a natural glow that I can add a little mascara & lip gloss (busy momma/wife life) & feel good about myself! Also, I love adding a cute belt to basically any shirt I wear (quick & easy throw together) & I actually can be happy with myself! My hubby & daughter are my great supporters to let me know I don't need any make up. They do tease me about my facial hair though-when we're out somewhere. Which gets pretty embarassing! My daughter just told me tonight, "Mommy you need to get rid of your mustache!" WOW! Too many bad experiences to do so!
