Alright folks, so I kept seeing folks rave about Olivia Peet stuff everywhere. Tons before-and-afters popping up online. Honestly? I was skeptical. My skin’s been stubborn lately – dull, kinda patchy, you know? Figured, what the heck, might as well put some of her common tricks to the test myself. Grabbed a bottle of her oil blend off the shelf – smells kinda herby, actually nice. Here’s the messiness that went down:
The Morning Quick Dab
First thing after stumbling outta bed? That’s rough. Didn’t wanna do much. Splashed some water on my face, patted it dry mostly. Just felt lazy. Grabbed the oil bottle, turned it kinda upside-down, waited for a drip. Plop! One whole drop landed right on my palm. Barely covered the fingertip. Rubbed my palms together fast, felt slick. Dabbed it right on the red spots near my nose and a dry patch on my left cheekbone like everyone suggests. Felt… like oil? Wasn’t heavy though. Went okay. Kept doing it for a week straight. Honestly? Seemed like those red bits calmed down a bit quicker than usual when I got stress zits. Weird.
Nighttime Mash-Up Mess
Nighttime routine usually involves my trusty face cream. Cheap one, does the job okay. Here’s the experiment: squeezed my usual nickel-sized blob of cream onto the back of my hand. Then dripped ONE tiny drop of that Peet oil right onto the cream blob. Mixed it around with a finger – looked kinda funky, like whipped cream gone shiny. Smushed the whole gloopy mess right onto my face like always. Didn’t feel greasy really, but wow did my face feel softer in the morning. Like, pillow-level soft. This one surprised me. Kept doing it. Felt fancy mixing potions, kinda stupid fun.
The Pure Oil Face-Slap Moment
Saw people on videos just slathering the stuff straight up. Full face coverage. Felt ballsy one night after washing – probably a Wednesday? Face was damp still, little droplets everywhere. Poured like FOUR whole drops into my palm – felt excessive honestly. Slathered that oil all over my face and throat like a total greasy seal. Shiny city! Took FOREVER to soak in while I sat around looking ridiculous. Felt a bit dumb, pillow probably hated it later. But seriously? Woke up with skin plump like a happy peach. Like, visible bounce? The other dry patch near my chin just vanished overnight. Magic greasy dirt? Who knows. Probably won’t do this nightly, too much shine. But holy cow, when my skin feels like sandpaper again? Yeah, I’m going for it.
Real Talk After 10 Days
- Did it all work? Mostly? The dry spots got demolished, totally. Red bits chilled out way faster. Skin stopped feeling tight.
- Felt weird? Honestly yeah. Putting straight oil on feels slimy at first. Takes practice not to drip it everywhere.
- Soft skin? Check. No new zits popped up either which shocked me, usually hate heavy stuff.
Biggest win? Found a cheap, lazy way to actually see a difference without breaking the bank or memorizing a 10-step nightmare routine. Pro-tip: start small with one drop! You can always add more sludge later. Might just stick that dropper bottle beside the coffee maker now. Dumb greasy win for lazy mornings.
