hazlenut blob applied

feels a bit tight, like using a face mask, is that the Mint effect?

smells like a wella hair product, I can't quite indentify which one, perhaps High Hair

Felt like Cheryl Crow this morning , then I woker upand looked in the mirror and was just an old crow

Anyway put it on this morning - tis rather pleasant

maxybrown · 27/05/2010 08:30

Well I put it on twice yesterday, skin felt lovely anyway! And still does this morning, pre shower and cream

CaptainUnderpants · 27/05/2010 08:31

Cleanse and tone beforehand ladies to get the most of it

noddyholder · 27/05/2010 08:33

I got mine yesterday its nice and feels quite smooth and tight.

southeastastra · 27/05/2010 08:49

just put mine on, less greasy than what i usually use but it feels slightly tingly so hope it doesn't get worse

ilovemydogandMrObama · 27/05/2010 08:52

at wmmc and cat. DD put some on dog, so Olay has been tested on animals

M32song · 27/05/2010 09:05

got mine - applied expectantly on nice clean skin. didn't feel the mint effect really but it does feel like it's left a bit of a residue, not sure if that's good or not

Will my transformation into Kate Beckinsdale begin before or after lunch?

whomovedmychocolate · 27/05/2010 10:00

Funnily enough I applied mine this morning and a hazelnut sized blob was enough - must be a greasehead in the morning

MaryAnnSingleton · 27/05/2010 10:05

tried it last night and again this morning - not itchy - still grey though

Tortington · 27/05/2010 10:14

i put mine on this morning and its like any other moisturiser as far as i am concerned.

thecatatemygymsuit · 27/05/2010 10:31

my forehead feels smoother already after just one use; that can't be right can it? I like the smell and texture too.

cyteen · 27/05/2010 10:34

Got mine yesterday, had totally forgotten I'd even put myself in for it Thanks MN! Free stuff is always welcome

Used some this morning and I must say, I did notice a certain mask-like quality over my saggy, lifeless face. Asked DP whether I looked younger; he said yes, but his eyes feel older due to 5am start

DrSpechemin · 27/05/2010 10:35

I'm not sure what difference I am looking for.

I currently use either dermalogica or bobbi brown tinted moisteriser foundation. So should I stop using the tinted moisturiser?

I'm not convinced the Olay will make me look like the tinted moisturiser does!

NorkyButNice · 27/05/2010 10:35

One full pump produced a hazelnut blob for me - plenty for my moon face! I actually really like the smell of it, and it feels nice on the skin.

I mixed a little with my foundation and it made a nice smooth tinted moisturiser too.

One problem I had was that removing the lid also took the pump off and it spilt all over my bedding - not ideal! Not sure if mine is faulty or if it's a problem with the design.

cupofcoffee · 27/05/2010 11:14

Norky could likely be a problem with the design because same thing happened to me and someone else further down the thread.

Horton · 27/05/2010 11:28

I got mine yesterday but forgot to use it this morning. Thanks, MN, am looking forward to trying it. And I will take the lid off v carefully.

elliemental · 27/05/2010 11:32

my skin feels smoother and there is a tight feeling which lasts for around 15 minutes after applying.

My lid came off too.
I don't like pump dispensers in general though. If they don't work, it is impossible to get to the contents in any other way, and I often end up feeling really cheated, as the rest of the bottle is unusable.
Why can't we just have little pots with lids?

stealthsquiggle · 27/05/2010 11:35

Well my skin feels (a bit) more awake - shame about the rest of me (another 5am start).

flier · 27/05/2010 11:35

just marking, I got mine yesterday and my lid came off too when I tried to take lid of this morning, glad to see not just me

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 27/05/2010 12:17

It does feel quite nice when it goes on, but I shall have to put suncreen on my face before I go out later which is a bit annoying when my usual moisturiser has an SPF in it.

NoahAndTheWhale · 27/05/2010 13:17

Got back from shopping this morning to find dh putting some on (under his eyes). DD (4) asked me why my face smelled of nice. I asked her if it looked nicer too but no, only smelled nicer .

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 27/05/2010 13:28

Mine arrived yesterday

I put it on after I cleansed and toned and my skin felt lovely. I like the smell too and the tight tingly feeling it gives when you put it on. It's nice and light on the skin too.

Thanks for this MN

I don't have an email either.

cyteen · 27/05/2010 13:49

Were we meant to get an email? I haven't got one.

Also seem to have stopped receiving the Round Up, by the by.

gingertoo · 27/05/2010 13:51

Had given up hope but mine has just been delivered! That's what you get for living in the back of beyond...
