Hey there! Tonight, I'll be posting about a favorite moisturizer of mine, Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid - Original.
The first one is the box, as you can see and the second one is the bottle of fluid. It contains 6.0 fl. oz (177 mL).
Written on the back of the bottle: Light, Non-Greasy, Dermatologist tested, Won't Clog Pores. Provides your skin with an immediate surge of active moisture to soothe dryness without a greasy feel.Leaves skin softer, smoother and more supple. Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
I currently have two bottles of this product, both are my sister's. Hahaha! Well, she's not that into "products" so I tried using it. Both are given by relatives from U.S.A.
Actually, this is the first moisturizer that I've used. Have been using it for about a month or so. I was skeptic the first time that I've used it because my first thought was that this kind of beauty products are only used by women older than me. I'm 20 years of age. But then I gave it a try.
The lid comes off with a twisting motion, so the product has less chances of spilling out in case you decided to bring it when you travel. The smell is quite "musky", if you know what I mean. It's fragrant enough though just not too much. The fluid comes off as white, silky and yes, non-greasy. Yes it is not heavy on skin because it's not the cream or mousse type, which is good because the weather here in the Philippines can be really humid. -_-
First-time I used it, I tried it on my hand. I was afraid to use it directly on my face because it might feel itchy and it might not be compatible for me. I've tried some products and my skin itched like crazy! That's why the other products that I use on my face are all from the Dermatologist. I have sensitive skin.
I use this everyday. In the morning, after my toner and before my sunblock and at night-time, after my toner and before my Revitalizing Cream.
When using the product, you need not use so much because a little goes a long way. Oh well, it depends on your discretion. There are times that I feel my skin is quite dry so I apply a little more on my face and neck. And yes, you can Immediately feel softer and more supple skin right after use. (Yayyyy!) As for the fine lines and wrinkles, I can't say so much because, thank God, I have not seen one on my face. :D
I'm not yet done with the first bottle so I'll let you know if ever there are some changes. Til then! :)
I am very particular when it comes to skin care and I love collecting products and trying different ones to see what'll work me. Some time ago, an Aunt of mine gave my Mama a Body Shop Jolly Orange Body Buttter. Well, I am not fond of Body Butters as I prefer lotion for I think Body Butter is too thick and too creamy. When you live in a tropical country like the Philippines and you sweat a lot (just like I do), I think that you'll really try to avoid it.
So there my Aunt let my Mama used the Body Butter and well being the curious lady that I am, I tried it too.
The Body Shop Jolly Orange Body Butter
So here's what written: The Body Shop Jolly Orange Body Butter. Aromatic moisturiser with orange seed oil.
Packaging: Well, the color is a nice pop of bright orange and yellow and comes in a plastic container. Tightly closed so the product won't come out.
Scent: Honestly I din't smell orange in the product. For me, it smells more of like potpourri and flowers. I am not a fan of "flowery" scents because I feel like it'll induce sneezing. Hahaha! I think i'd love this more if I can smell the "citrus-y" orange since I'm more of a fan of citrus smelling products.
Product: Comes off real smooth and tends to linger on skin. Tinted with a yellow color. It's good because it's really moisturizing and you'll feel immediately the soft and velvety feeling that it leaves on your skin. What I don't like about it though is that I don't feel like it is absorbed. I think that it just stays on top of my skin and since I sweat heavily, I tend to feel sticky afterwards :(

The other Body Butter was given to me by my Grandma. Actually it was from a package in the US. My Grandma saved the "Coconut" one for me and let my Aunts pick what scent they want. Oh well, they're older. Hahaha!
Delon Body Butter Coconut (Mine is in a different design, unfortunately I cant find it in the images.)
What's written: Front: Intense Moisturizing. Indulge your senses while softening your skin.
Back: Quick-absorbing and non-greasy. Long-lasting moisture. Leaves skin silky soft and protected. Non tested on animals.
Packaging: The color is a brown with a Coconut picture on the front. It also has design on the sides.
Scent: True to its word, it really smells like Coconut! Coconut oil that is! I didn't like the smell at first because it smells like pomade/hair gel that old people use here in our country. Haha! How silly of me. But then I liked it as time went by because it reminded me of summer and the sun and the beach! Tropical heaven! It smells sweet and yummy enough to eat! (Of course, it's not edible though.)
Product: The product comes in a thick consistency and won't fall even if you tilt it upside-down. Yep, i tried it. It comes off smooth and is really easy to apply. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and yes, it is non-greasy! It is quickly absorbed, in less than a minute or so. It doesn't leave you feeling sticky even if you sweat alot. And the good thing is, the softness stays and also the yummy smell! I wear it everytime and my boyfriend thinks it smells like Icecream.
So there. I hope this review helps! Have a good day and God Bless!
