My Opinion: - I was chosen by BlogAdda to review Olay Total Effects 7 in One  Cream + Serum Duo. I received it about 10-12 days back and today I am reviewing it. I have been using Olay Total Effects 7 in One Day Cream with a touch of Foundation SPF 15 and liking it a lot, I can best describe it as a light-weight Tinted Moisturiser. So I was very enthusiastic about using this Cream + Serum. The packaging is a convenient cylindrical see through  plastic can with a black pump dispenser and a golden collar around the pump. The cap is clear plastic and it closes with a click which means it is safe to be carried around in my purse. But I would prefer a normal tube packaging over a pump dispenser as these have backfired on me :/

                         The fragrance is mild but sweet, kind of floral which I don't think will irritate sensitive noses. The texture is soft and creamy and the consistency is that of a light-weight cream. I was skeptical when I pumped out the cream for the first time, it looked very thick and heavy. But to my surprise, this Olay Cream + Serum is light on my skin and does not make my skin oily or greasy, on the contrary it gives a velvety glow to my skin. In air-conditioned environment my skin looks fresh for about 5-6 hours but in a non air-conditioned environment my skin feels a little greasy and gets shiny after about 4 hours, so I can say this cream fairs well on my oily skin. This cream + serum contains SPF 15 which is quite low but that's also an added advantage for many lazy people.

                      I wash my face with a face wash, then I use a toner and then I use this cream + serum on my face on dots, just a single pump is enough for my face and neck. I massage it gently on my skin and it easily spreads and get absorbed into my skin in a couple of minutes, this cream  serum does not sit on top of my skin. I use a foundation/bb cream on top of it after say 5 mins but at times I just wear this cream + serum alone with a light dusting of loose powder. Ofcourse I have to touch up post lunch but that's it. I sweat profusely upon applying this cream but it gets absorbed into my skin, the sweating is gone and my skin feels smooth and silky to the touch (no I am not a Narc :P and don't keep touching my face). This cream is easily to blend into the skin and one full pump is what is required for my face and neck. So I think this meager quantity of 20 gms will last me 30-40 days. The best thing about this cream + serum is that it works well as a makeup base. Foundation glides over it like a dream, blends well and gives a flawless finish. A cheap makeup base since it also minimizes the ugly pores around my nose and cheeks.

THE SWATCH- ONE PUMP ONLY

                          Now coming to its 7 claims, 1. fine lines and wrinkles- fortunately I don't have any, so comments, 2. uneven tone- not sure since I am using it since 10-12 days but surely it brightens up the skin, 3. age spots- again no comments since I do not have age spots but I have pimple marks which might fade out with regular use over a longer period of time, 4. uneven texture- gives velvety smooth skin <3, 5. dryness- works as a great moisturiser, gives the required moisture to my oily skin <3, 6. dullness- gives a radiant glow upon application <3, 7. pores- I love how it diminishes my ugly pores <3 and on top of these 7 benefits, it works very well as a makeup base/primer, it way cheaper than bases/primers and the best thing about this cream is that it didn't break me out <3<3<3





Pros:


* Affordable and Easily Available

* Fragrance is sweet and mild

* Gives required moisture to the skin

* Minimizes pores effectively

* Gives a velvety glow to the skin

* Gives a smooth and silky feel

* Brightens up the skin upon application

* A single pump is enough for my full face and neck, hence 20 gm will last me a good 30-40 days

* Works very well as a makeup base

* The packaging is much bigger compared to the contents (20 gms)

* Didn't give me breakouts :)



Cons:


* Pump dispenser might dis-function, tube packaging is more convenient

* Might not provide adequate moisture for dry skin beauties

* Contains Parabens

* SPF 15 is very low sun protection



               I rate Olay Total Effects 7 in One Cream + Serum Duo 4.25 out 5, it's a  good moisturiser and suits my skin well. Didn't break me out and I love the off-white and yellow marbleized pattern the cream and serum creates inside the see through plastic can. Recommended to beauties who appreciate a soft and smooth skin

"I am trying out Olay Total Effects as a part of the product review program at BlogAdda.com"

With Revolutionary Vita Oils

Smoothes upto 99% roughness* for damage free hair

40 ml for INR 300

Company Says: -

Did you know?

Dryness and dullness are signs of damaged hair leading to hair that’s weak and rough to touch. That’s why new Dove with Vita Oils goes deep inside and restores smoothness, softness and shine.

VITA OILS SYSTEM

Revolutionary Non Greasy formula.

Unique blend with natural coconut, almond and sunflower oils that are so fine they are rapidly absorbed to deeply nourish and replenish essentials vitamins.

Instant nourishment boost for smooth and shiny hair anytime

Based on lab test, improvement of hair smoothness comparing damaged hair treated with non-conditioning shampoo vs Dove Nourishing Oil Care

 

Next generation nourishment for hair that’s strengthened against damage

Directions: - Pump 3-5 times depending on your hair length onto palm. Smooth evenly through wet or dry hair. Avoid roots. Style as desired. No need to rinse. For best results, use daily with Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo & Conditioner.

Ingredients: - Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Amodimethicone, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Perfume, Tocopheryl Acetate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylated Hydroxytoluene.

My Opinion: - Serums are very essential part of hair care; it adds the finishing touches to hair after shampooing and conditioning etc. For many years now I have this habit of reaching out for a serum after every singler shampoo/hair wash. I have tried tons of serums and have liked most of them, though I first started with Livon Silky Potion when I was in school and loved back then. Now coming back to the review, the packaging is classy and good looking. A transparent plastic pump bottle with a white plastic dispenser and transparent lid. The bottle is somewhat oval-ish in shape which I like. Also its travel friendly and takes up less space since its sleek enough.

                        

                  This serum is golden yellowish and runny in consistency. Its texture is silky and its completely non-greasy and extremely light. This serum is nearly non-scented (too mild for my nose to pick up) and just 2-3 pumps are enough for my hair. I apply serum after shampooing and conditioning or after using a mask/pack on my hair. I take a single pump, rub it between my palms and start applying on the lengths of my hair and then I take another pump and another one till I am done. One very big advantage of this serum is that it can be applied on dry hair as well and that too without greasiness.

                           This serum contains Vita Oil which is a blend of Coconut, Almond and Sunflower Oils which are extremely beneficial for the hair. It adds shine to my hair, detangles my hair after a wash and smoothens my hair making it soft and silky. This serum does not weighs down my hair or makes it limp and greasy. I like the fact that it decreases frizz and makes my hair quite manageable. Rs 300 for 40 ml is decent pricing because this bottle lasts me for about 2+ months with regular use. The bottle is reusable and I shall be able to use it for products which I think should come with a pump dispenser.

Pros: -

* The phrase Vita Oils impressed me

* Makes my hair manageable

* Controls frizz

* Makes my hair silky, shiny and smooth

* Affordable at Rs 300 for 40 ml, taking into consideration the fact that it takes more than 2 months to get over with regular use

* Can be applied on dry hair as well with good results

Cons: -

* Contains silicons but which serum does not contain chemicals

* None actually

               I rate this Dove Damage Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum 4.75 out of 5. It’s a nice serum and does what its supposed to do, no tall claims are made by the company and whatever they say is nearly true. This is the only serum after Livon Silky Potion that I have repurchased. It’s a must try for all girls who long for shine and frizz control.
