You know how you fall in love with a product and then it does you wrong and you feel all sorts of betrayed? I'll never forget the time that Perricone's expensive eye goop gave me an eyelid zit. Up until that time, whenever I said the name "Dr. Perricone" it was almost like saying a prayer, but post- eyelid zit, I lost all of my reverence for the man. And so it is with the Olay Quench situation. I've been using it regularly, but on the first sunny day of spring, I was sitting in the drive-through line at Starbucks and suddenly noticed that my arm was lit up like a mofo disco ball. Fellow Fiends, please understand that I feel the only folks who should be donning any kind of visible illumination like body glitter on a daily basis are the cage dancers at the Rum Jungle. Unless you work at a rave, obvious sparkles in the office set the totally wrong image. Maybe I have a stick up my butt? Whatever, but I'm taken very seriously at work.

So, it turns out that there are some pretty large flecks of glittered substance in the Olay Quench Mousse. It's very subtle under indoor lighting or overcast daylight, but after close examination, totally still visible. And when you walk outside and the clouds part? It looks like you're wearing spangled tights on your legs. We already know that illumination is an easy way to make your skin look incredible, but in this case, the shiny specks are just too large and have a serious Hannah Montana vibe in direct light. I'm bummed, because I was happy with the way the product made my skin feel and totally missed the mention of the illuminating qualities.

Granted, the Quench stuff is still really light and serves as a great moisturizer, but with this knowledge, I'll probably save the Quenching for the weekends, when I can pretend the glitter is just left over from a rager the night before.
