The $256 Olay Giveaway! Drawing Wed., Dec. 10

by 230 Comments

UPDATE: The contest is closed! I’ll be notifying the winners shortly. Thank you for entering! 🙂

I love Olay. I’m a big fan of the line. Over the past 10 years I’ve probably gone through about 20 bottles of Oil of Olay Complete for Sensitive Skin SPF 15! 🙂

Did you happen to catch the Oprah show on The Science of Beauty a few weeks ago featuring Dr. Oz and Paula Begoun? They discussed some of their favorite beauty products, and among the products given props were two from Olay — Foaming Face Wash and Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum.

Some of my favorite Olay…

  7. I love olay products! Can’t ever be too young to start using them! (I used to steal my mom’s olay stuff when I was little hehe).Thanks Karen!

  9. Oil of Olay Complete for Sensitive Skin SPF 15 is my fav too! I have been using it practically since I learned how to wash my face. Well, maybe not literally…

  10. awesome giveaway! i use some of the olay products (anti-aging anti-blemish cleanser and a day cream) and they are great quality for little money:)

  16. i just remember something else. I got an email a few years ago about funny things kids say and I’ll never forget a little boy telling his granny that she smelled like olay of old lady. I love the stuff and now using it makes me laugh.

  20. I am 24 years old, and I am already hooked on Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream. With all the gray hairs on my head, I’m determined to slow the aging on my face!

    Also I would watch Dr. Oz every day of the week. <3

  24. ohhhhhh, pretty please i want it! i want it!
    actually i would share this one with the mama. she’s always talking about how expensive her olay is…obviously she’s not a big beauty spender 😉

  32. my grandmother was a DIE HARD fan of Olay. whenever we’d go to Europe we’d bring her back bottles of Oil of Ulay–what they call it in England!

    I’ve always been tempted to try their foaming moisturizer. My skin is so dry.

  49. I love Olay. My current HG moisturizer is their Total Effects Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish moisturizer. It sucks that they don’t carry Olay in the Philippines though, so I only started using it once I came back to the US. 🙂

  50. I always thought of Oil of Olay as “my mom’s moisturizer” but they have really come a long way…now if only I could try all those products…mmmmm!

  62. Hola Karen!
    I use their Complete moisturizer with SPF for combo/ oily skin and I’m pretty happy with it.
    I actually picked it up by accident and have been using ever since!
    This is a nice package you put together!!! Thanx.

  64. I love the Quench body moisturizer. I have been wanting to try the Regenerist line so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

  68. have only just started using olay regenerist products — absolutely love them! excellent giveaway and would be over the moon to win

  72. Hey Karen,

    You are on a roll with these give-aways, lol. I use Olay myself and gave a bunch of products to my mom, but ended up getting them back, so I can attest for even the anti-aging products.
    Thanks for all the give-away contests. 🙂

  75. Wow Karen… you ser seriously in the holiday spirit with all the giveaways.

    I hope your MIL is doing well. I’ve been thinking about you guys.

  78. I hope I win the kit. It’s perfect for my skin coz I always have a dehydrated skin. always thirsty for something gooooood. Like olay. through the years olay is always there. just like an old friend. 🙂

  79. Hey Karen

    I hope you’re well!

    I’m a huge fan of Olay products. I use their Multi-Radiance SPF15 moisturising lotion and its fantastic – the only moisturiser that I re-buy.

    Its very cool that your contest is open to international readers too!

  83. Thanks so much for including international readers in your giveaway. I heard a lot about the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream but haven’t tried. Crossing my fingers this time.

  85. Awsome give away! There is enough goodies my cat Road Kill will probably be sneaking some for his dry skin…he’s such a mooch;-)
    We love Olay & you for this one…he’s going to try and get on Tab’s good side so we have an edge…..

    Reply

  86. Oh want it! My skin is behaving badly lately plus I’m feeling ugly all the time due to bad hair days and lack of time for myself… I’d loooooove to get this one so I can indulge a bit 🙂

    Reply

  87. I’ve been meaning to try the Regenerist products…

    I’m only 22 but I figure it’s never too early to ward off aging!

    Reply

  90. OOH. I’d love a chance to try all this stuff! But I’d probably give a lot of it to my mom, cause she deserves it and doesn’t buy this stuff for herself.

    Reply

  96. I just went back and read your Reviews from Oct,2, 2007 to see what you thought about the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and so I read the rest of your reviews for that day! LMAO about what you said about snipping off the tubes from some products and replacing the tops to make use of the entire product! Girl, I thought I was the only person in the world who did that! Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am a bit older than you, and probably a lot of your other readers, so I just want to vouch for the Micro-Sculpting cream. I tried a small sample jar of this when it was first introduced. It actually made my skin look and feel a lot firmer while I was using it; in fact, there seemed to be much less sagging than with the higher-end creams and serums that I had used in the past! Unforunately, my family has suffered from severe financial setbacks in the past year, due to illness, so I was unable to buy any more of the product.*sad* But, believe me, if things ever DO get turned back around here, the first thing I plan to buy for myself is a full-size, fresh, new jar of this wonderful stuff. As Olay says, it’s not surgical results, but it’s the closest thing to it that I’ve found in a jar. Keep up all the great reviews; they are a high point of my day! Love the way you write!

  105. Olay Regenerist serum rocks! Great texture under makeup and a reasonable price. I hope a lot of people buy it so they don’t phase it out like every other drug-store product.

    Reply

  109. Sweeeeeet!
    I love Olay. It’s a brand that has been used for generations in my family. It goes to show you that more dough doesn’t mean better results!

  116. Hi There! i love Olay products… currently using theing Total effects line and would love to try the regenerist line…

    Reply

  120. i’ve wanted to try olay products for a while now,especially now that i’m noticing lines and spots that werent there before but i’ve been stuck on a couple other products that work pretty well..hope this is my opportunity!!

    Reply

  122. omg many of those olay products are part of my skin care regime…i’m running low badly of micro-sculpting cream so i would just LOVE, LOVE to win this! keeping my fingers crossed!!!

    Reply

  127. using the Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System but haven’t tried most of the products listed so definitely excited about this giveaway..

    Reply

  138. Although my usual skincare line is from Shiseido or DHC, I always have a bottle of pink Olay lotion on my sink. I just love the smell and have to smell it from time to time. Strange huh? I also used to love the Regenerist lotion w/spf 15. Your post makes me want to go and get the serum type.

    Reply

  146. Omg! I know my mom-in-law loves olay so… this would be a great b-day/x-mas present! I WOULD LOVE TO PRESENT HER WITH THIS!

    Reply

  151. I love all the pictures you provide of makeup on your skin. Very helpful. Thanks for the Olay giveaway. Solid brand with great products.

    Reply

  167. OMGosh…Olay is tried and true! I used to think it was for more mature ladies cuz my Lola loved that stuff but once I started using the regenerist line, I was hooked. Happy Holidays!

    Reply

  177. More than 200 dollars worth of products?? WOW that would be a cool christmas gift! ^^
    I think Complete is a staple for many girls/women, including myself. Eventhough i have oily skin i use it during cold winterdays, nothing makes my skin look more radiant
    I wanted to try one of their serums…now that i’m thinking about it, why haven’t i bought one yet?? lol
    Heard the microdermabrasion kit was pretty awesome too, too bad they dont sell them over here :/

    And thank you for the link, eventhough i don’t completely trust Paula Begoun’s advice, it is helpfull.

    Keep up the fun posts!

  183. I saw the episode with Dr Oz and Paula Bergoun. It was really informative. The Oil of Olay products prove that you don’t have to spend a fortune to have good skin care products. YAY for us!

    Reply

  185. I am always down for some new skincare. Awesome giveaway and a great way to raise awareness for a brand I usually gloss over!

    Reply

  188. I’m always looking for bargain beauty products, so it’s great to see Olay topping so many people’s list of best products! Yay for Olay!

    Reply

  201. I would love to try some Olay products. I have not tried any of the Olay products yet, but I have just been hearing such awesome things about it. I am seriously considering using some of the products, but I have no idea where to start! Olay section here I come. If you guys see a girl standing at the Olay section looking puzzled, that would probably be me lol.

    Reply

  204. I know I’m probably am one of your oldest blog fans (about to be 38 Dec 17th) but, it’s never too late to get into the beauty side of things. The Olay products that I absolutely cannot live without are the Regenerist line. I would totally love to win this because now that my 16 year old is getting in the beauty side of things…it gets expensive!

  210. Karen…I love your blog. I am a new subscriber and look forward to each entry. As far as Olay goes, I can still remember when I was a little girl and would lust after my mother’s Oil Of Olay bottle on her vanity table. Back then it was a simple (but heavy!) glass bottle with a little tiny label…I’m glad it is still around today. I love their products.

    Reply

  211. Karen…oops…I forgot to add I totally agreed with your review of Olay Quench Mousse…I, too, need super strong moisturizers for my skin and I thought this would be too lightweight but it did exactly as you said. I love this stuff and to make it even better, I got it at my local Walgreens in the clearance bin for $2.00 (and I had a $1.00 coupon) so it was an amazing deal as well!

  217. Hey there,

    Just wanted to drop you a quick note saying that your blog is always a fun read. I always love finding out about new products from you…Thanks a bunch!

  223. I’ve loved Olay since I first learned about moisturizer…25 years ago…(OMG I can’t believe how old I’m getting!) And have been pretty devoted to their products ever since. Love, love the whole line. Tabs – please pick me! 🙂
