Olay Complete Care Touch of Foundation

This summer I was looking for a tinted moisturiser, because it seemed better to wear a tinted moisturiser during hot weather rather than a standard moisturiser and slightly heavy foundation. It's more comfortable to do so, and lets your freckles shine through a bit, which I find are naturally more apparent in summer. I was looking for a tinted moisturiser with a nicer texture than the ones I remembered from being a teenager, and with reasonably good coverage as some of my veins can be seen through my skin, which is a little bit unattractive, perhaps! I also wanted an SPF of 15 or so to protect my skin from the sun. I had seen a television advert for ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved Olay products; in fact I loved it when it was Ulay!! Oil of Olay was first produced in South Africa in 1949. It didn't arrive to the UK until 1970, and then it was called Oil of Ulay here. It was sold in a heavy glass bottle and was a very runny pink fluid rather than a cream. In 1985 it became part of the Procter and Gamble Company, and they began to diversify the products in the Ulay range. In 1999 it was decided to bring UK in line with the rest of the world and began to be called Oil of Olay. (Except for German speaking countries and Italy where it is known as Oil of Olaz. In the Netherlands and Belgium, it was renamed just ...  Read the complete review

Foundation? Yukk - I hate the stuff. Most kinds seem to make my skin feel claggy and horrible, they look totally artificial and leave me disappointed. I'd given up any sort of foundation for years. Until I tried this Olay Complete Care Touch Of Foundation. I didn't go out with the intention of buying it, but I was shopping in Asda and it was on special offer for only £5. With the sudden spell of sunny weather (yes, we have had some) I'd been outside trying to get a bit of colour. Unfortunately this meant parts of my face had caught the sun too much, while the area around my eyes looked white by comparison. This light, tinted moisturiser sounded just what ...  Read the complete review

I bought 'Olay Complete Care Touch of Foundation' for £9.99 from Tesco. It had been reduced in price, which is one of the reasons why i bought it. The other reason was because i always use Max Factor. I have sensitive skin, which can become very dry, and i find that Max Factor is the best make-up for me to use. I moisturise twice a day, and thought that this product could also help in that process. The bottle does contain a lot, even though it is not a big bottle. You only need a small amount each time you use it. The first day i tried it, it went on really well, as it basically is moisturising cream with a touch of foundation, so you don't get the 'tell tale' ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a big fan of the Olay products as I've used it now for years. My mum used it before me so I think I was just following in her footsteps like most young girls do. Olay was first produced in South Africa. It has been a Procter and Gamble product since 1985 and became one of their Billion dollar brands in 2003. Apparently the name Oil of Olay was chosen by the producer (a chemist called Graham Wulff) because it was a spin off of the word Lanolin which was the key ingredient. Lanolin is used in the production of many cosmetics and lotions etc perhaps it is easily absorbed by the skin. It actually comes from wool bearing animals such as ...  Read the complete review
