Facial Hair Removal.
I know I can't possibly be the only new mom (can I still call myself a "new" mom 16 months in?) that struggles with finding time for maintenance. Things like trips to the salon, pedicures, brow and lip waxing, etc.
In all honesty, I could find the time, but sometimes when I have 30 minutes free, I just want to sit on my couch in leggings and a t-shirt in the comfort of my home. The salon means looking decent, going out in public, and putting on something that is not covered in food your toddler
When BlogHer and Olay contacted me about reviewing the New Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo, I agreed to test this uniquely formulated two-step system designed to gently, yet effectively remove unwanted facial hair, leaving skin smooth, conditioned, and visibly hair free.
I was skeptical at first-how would my sensitive skin handle the product, and would it actually remove unwanted hair? When I learned the system contains a Skin Guarding Balm you apply before the Hair Removal Cream to hydrate the skin in order to minimize irritation and redness, my skepticism started to fade.
After all, anything that allows me to feel more confident in my appearance, simplify my routine, and save time (hello comfy clothes and the comfort of my own home) is worth at least trying!
I was excited when I received my New Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo and was eager to try it out! I expected complicated instructions and was pleasantly surprised by just how easy this hair removal is to use! You simply apply the Skin Guarding Balm, apply the Hair Removal Cream, wait 6-8 minutes, and gently wipe off!
What? You don't take pictures while waiting for your hair removal to work?
The best part? It works so, so well! I was shocked by how smooth my lip area was-and that sensitive skin I mentioned? It wasn't even the slightest bit red. I've had absolutely no irritation, which is unheard of for me when it comes to hair removal!
Best of all, I was able to do all of this in the comfort of my own home after I put Kate down for the night! And, I still had time to make a microwave chocolate cake and sit my pregnant behind on the couch to relax.
I am confident the New Olay Smooth Finish Hair Removal Duo will become a staple in my beauty routine! How awesome is that? You know what else is awesome?

If you call waking at 4 to feed the baby, re-waking up at 7 (in a puddle of drool 'cuz you slept on your face) and slapping lunches together as you fly into a fast shower, smearing tinted moisturizer on your cheeks as you flail wildly to get the least-wrinkled clothes on WHILE also brushing teeth, scraping off yesterdays eye makeup AND jiggling baby on hip with minutes to spare before shoving everything (minus the dogs) into a diaper bag that gave up zipping after 3 months and trying to make it to daycare and work that is 24 miles away..in 16 minutes-inner beauty, then I am EFFING GORGEOUS inside!!!

I have to admit, having lost a lot of my OUTER beauty from illness...I did learn a lot about inner beauty. That comes through pushing myself through the day in trying to remain positive for my kids and husband. Gifting others with verbal praise is how I show my inner beauty. Without giving this, how do others close to you know how much you care and appreciate them just BEING!? If that is all I can give right now, it is nothing compared to what they have given me throughout this 10 year fight.
