I know there are still friends and family of mine out there who don’t apply moisturizer daily. It’s a travesty all skin care junkies like myself hear regularly. But I get it. With everyone trying to get out the door in the mornings ASAP or dealing with crying babies (or both), applying a moisturizer (forget about using a primer!) is just a hassle. I’ve been using Olay Whips for the last week or so, and this moisturizer hydrates deeply, dries instantly, and perfectly primes for makeup… all while treating my skin to amazing antiaging ingredients in a flash.

A few weeks ago, I journeyed into the great city of Manhattan to celebrate Soap and Glory’s new spring 2018 releases. Many brands host these press events to introduce products to the market for influencers, editors and the like… but I have to say that this particular event was one of the best I’ve ever attended. The attention to detail that Soap and Glory put into their event and the new products they’re releasing tells me that 2018 is going to be a huge year for them. I’m excited to share with you these brand new Soap and Glory releases in makeup and skin care I’ve been trying out.
