Your Perfect Summer Moisturizer: Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!}

olay fresh effectsWhen I was at Coachella, Olay Fresh Effects was sponsoring all of the fun parties, which was such a big win for me since I got to stock up on the Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} Hydrating Get Moisturizer (and their wipes which I love). At every event, I would ask for it, which is funny since I had packed a bottle with me for the trip!

GIVEAWAY: #PrettyGlamazon Scandal Beauty Products

IMG_0349

ABC’s hit show Scandal wrapped last Thursday with some major cliff hangers! What is a girl to do with her Thursday nights now? Makeda from Glamazon Diaries and I invited 15 fashion and beauty bloggers to join us for a beauty night at the Carlton Hotel to tweet about hair, beauty and skincare products used on the show’s stars.

Prior to the event, we chatted with Scandal makeup head Denise Hooper to get the 411 on the products and how they’re used. Wondering how Olivia Pope gets her famous flip? BaBabyliss Pro – Nano Titanium Marcel Curling Iron of course! How do the Gladiators look so well rested despite putting out fires daily at Pope & Associates? With Skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels. Ten minutes does the trick.

Of course Olivia has to take the day off her Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara and Nourishing Eyeliner with her Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes when she gets home before sipping on her vino. With the Lorac Pro Palette, Olivia and the gang can create day to night looks easily. The cast also get a boost in hydration with Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater and the Super Collagen Mask.
