This weekend was super busy for me. I can’t even say I’ve had time to breath!
On Instagram I am constantly being asked about my skincare and makeup routine. I often say it’s nothing special but you all want details.
Skin care:
● Wash my face with soap
● Use a homemade oatmeal mask
● Moisturize
That’s really it LOL – I’m sorry it wasn’t more exciting!
Now my makeup routine, THAT’S a totally different story.
I have really serious dark circles under my eyes and they tend to persist come hell or high water. So this time, I’ve teamed up with Olay to try something a little different by exploring two exciting products. I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about this issue and I decided to give Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Swirl and the Micro-Sculpting Cream a try before I applied my makeup.
A lot of the videos I watched stressed that you should make sure that the under-eye area is as moisturized as possible so that the skin can plump up.
If you have the same issue as me, applying the Eye Swirl works really well before you apply your concealer and foundation.
- Moisturize your face really well
- Apply the Olay Eye Swirl Cream in the under eye area and let dry for a few seconds
- Apply primer and powder and then follow with concealer
I think y’all would agree that the trick worked lol.
I’m really hoping to get this right because my birthday is this month! I’m going out of town and it’s start to become a reoccurring event in my life to do so. I was in Atlanta last year so let’s see where this year takes me! I’m still undecided as to where this year’s birthday will take me, but, wherever it is, I’ll definitely be bringing my Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Swirl with me!
My under eye circles are a bit of an insecurity for me so it’s important to me that I’m able to cover them up especially for my birthday weekend!

This is what I’ve been looking for, something to plump under my eyes so I can wear contacts and stop hiding behind glasses. Gonna check out the Eye Swirl. I believe I have the Olay Regenerist face cream already. *checks stash of samples*
Hmmmn.. As pretty as you are, it would be nice to see the after effects on your face without make up on it as the first picture doesn’t have any on by the looks of it (like for like and natural)….Not sure if there has been some slight airbrushing too perhaps? It’s hard to tell if the results are from your foundation/consealer or the Olay product….I think i’ll stick with water and Vit D & K for now..
Happy Early Birthday! 😉 I love the look and it looks like you found a winner.

Looks like I need to head on back to the store. I love trying new stuff. Especially with the lines and dark circles under my eyes.
Great tip, I’m gonna have to try this. Thanks for sharing.
I’m looking for something for my dark circles too, but I don’t wear concealer or foundation. How well does it work without makeup?
Thanks so much for sharing this tip! Dark circles are definitely becoming more of an issue as I get older so this will come in handy.
Listen, I can use this. I have the same issue and my birthday is this month, too! (Feb 19) Thanks for the review because I’m ready to buy this NOW!
Looks like you found a winner, when I find great products I buy a ton of them. Have a good skin care routine is so important. Especially after we’ve had on a full face of make up.
I’m loving your make-up look! It looks so natural and doesn’t look like you were trying to cover anything up.
Very nice! I know I can use this when my students have told me I’ve looked tired recently lol.
1. The name ‘eye swirl’ made me giggle. I’m so mature.
2. OMG! It definitely looks like it was a winner. I’ll have to keep this product in mind.
I’ve been hearing a lot of this product lately! Definitely sounds like it’s worth a try! Great Review!
