Hey friends! How’s your week going? Mr. SP and I ventured out beyond the grocery store for the first time yesterday… for a meeting with our CPA! Not the most exciting, but it seriously felt like a date. We stopped at a take-out taco spot on the way home, and actually ate them on their outside patio!
It was so strange to see tables and chairs pushed to the side, and tape on the floor, but we appreciated all the steps to keep people safe and comfortable. Honestly, I don’t feel the need to get out more than that… I think I’ve settled in a little too comfortably at home!
Today we’re chatting beauty… a fave topic around here, for sure! Every month when I post my Sephora Hauls, I ask you guys what you’re loving lately, and which products I should test out next. And one brand pops up every single time… OLEHENRIKSEN.
So many of you rave about a variety of their products (and I mean rave!), so I decided it was time for me to see what the fuss was about! I ordered the 3 Mega Wonders set of best-sellers, plus a few other products to address my particular skin care concerns.
The products arrived quickly… and the packaging was just so happy, I couldn’t wait to try them! After using them for a month, I’ve definitely found some new favorites.
Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum | Glow2-OH Dark Spot Toner | Banana Bright Eye Creme | Phat Glow Facial | Banana Bright Face Primer
Glow2-OH Dark Spot Toner //
Age and years of sun exposure has left my skin with an abundance of dark spots and freckles, so I was intrigued by the Glow OH Dark Spot Toner! The potent brightening toner is supercharged with glycolic and lactic acids, as well as witch hazel to target fine lines and wrinkles, smooth texture and reduce the look of dark spots.
It delivers a mild, but instant ‘tingle’ that tells me something is working! It’s also infused with sandalwood, chamomile, and licorice extracts, so it’s gentle enough for daily use. I use it post-cleansing at night for a skin-smoothing boost, and to prep for serum and moisturizer.
It doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped like many toners, and no matter how well I’ve cleansed, it always removes more dirt, makeup, and impurities!
Combine the Glow2-OH Dark Spot Toner with the Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum and C-Rush Brightening Gel Creme, and OLEHENRIKSEN guarantees brighter, bouncier skin in just 7 days! This special 3 Mega Wonders set includes all three full-size products (a $93 value) for just $62 with code SUGARPLUM15! Plus, free expedited shipping!
Banana Bright Face Primer //
The Banana Bright Face Primer delivers instant radiance, while improving and extending the wear of makeup. It contains brightening pigments that create a dewy, healthy-looking glow, plus it’s infused with a healthy dose of Vitamin C for added protection.
It also has a soft-focus effect, that instantly smooths the appearance of fine lines! Wear it as a primer, mixed with foundation, or simply on its own. I love it by itself for days I’m just hanging around the house. It’s super lightweight and doesn’t settle or pill.
Banana Bright Eye Creme //
Possibly one of the best eye creams I’ve tried… the Banana Bright Eye Creme does the work of several products! The thick and creamy formula goes on easily and absorbs quickly, leaving the under-eye area extremely hydrated and plumped.
It also has special pigments that instantly brighten and color-correct, plus it creates a smooth canvas for better concealer wear. So hydration, anti-aging, color-correcting, brightening and makeup-base all in one! That’s a power combo for a single eye cream.
Phat Glow Facial //
One of OLEHENRIKSEN’s most popular products is the Phat Glow Facial… and I was excited to try it based on the raving reviews alone! Plus, it fights all major signs of aging, instantly exfoliates, and illuminates! That’s pretty much everything I want, all in a single mask!
It goes on super thick and creamy, almost the consistency of zinc. You apply and massage into skin until the formula turns from pink to white, then let sit for 15 minutes. Loaded with PHAs, it exfoliates and plumps, revealing newer, fresher skin underneath.
There’s no irritation, so works for all skin types.
After just a few weeks with these products, my skin is definitely brighter… and hopefully on the way to bouncier! Another thing I really love about OLEHENRIKSEN products is they’re verified as Sephora Clean, so I know I’m putting all good stuff on my skin.
All their products are cruelty-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free high-performance formulas made to improve the look and feel of your skin. I’d encourage you to browse the site and just read the passionate reviews on these products!
And don’t forget, save an additional 15% off the incredible 3 Mega Wonders set with code SUGARPLUM15! Plus, free expedited shipping!
So tell me, are you one of the many OLEHENRIKSEN fans already?! Thanks so much for telling me about this brand! What product do I need to try next?

I need to know where you got that headband!
You got it! They come in a 3-pack, and are so great for washing your face and applying makeup!

So, are you still liking your Colleen Rothschild products or switching some of those for these products?
Absolutely! I’m still using all my fave CR products, I’ve just introduced a few of these in the mix. I especially love the toner, brightening eye cream and primer from Olehenriksen…all of which CR doesn’t offer. xo. C
These products look amazing, Cassie… how would you incorporate them with your current Colleen Rothschild favorites? The dark spot toner and eye cream look especially intriguing to me… might have to invest in the three-piece offer!
Great question! I love the OLEHENRIKSEN toner, eye cream and primer best…all of which I’m not using from CR. So at night, I use the Glow2-OH toner, followed by my CR serums and moisturizers. For day, I layer the Olehenriksen eye cream over my CR moisturizer, and then start my makeup routine with vitamin c and the primer. I hope that helps! xo. C
Do you use these products in addition to Colleen Rothschild it have you replaced the CR products with these?
I still use all the CR products I’ve talked about in the past. These are different products…toner, eye cream, primer. Some of which CR doesn’t offer, or I don’t use exclusively. xo. C
Thanks so much for reviewing these products and providing a discount code! I love the idea of using clean skincare products. I purchased the 3 Mega Wonders set and the Banana Bright eye cream. It’s so hard to find an eye cream that really works, and this one sounds pretty amazing. 🙂
This is totally unrelated to the post….sorry!…..just wanted to know what color metal is your apple watch? Silver?
Hi Kim! My watch metal is ‘brushed silver’! xo, C
Congrats on venturing into the “outer world”! After 11 weeks of “stay home” (Not working at home) I will be headed back to the office next week… feeling anxious about health and getting used to new office setup, schedule and workload. Please pray for me! Thanks!
I’m very interested in the mask! Will check it out.
Will definitely be praying for you, Laurie!! xo. C
I love Olehenricksen products, but have never tried the facial! I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Your sweats look so comfy in this pic, where are they from?
Thanks!
Traci

Hi Cassie, love your reviews and have tried some of your suggestions with great success! I’m attempting to order the Mega 3 and use the promotion code SUGARPLUM15! and am being told the code doesn’t exist.
Thanks, Kim
Hi Kim, oh no! Be sure the Mega Wonder is the full-sized version, and not the Minis. I just checked the code, and it is working on our end! Can you try clearing your history? xo, C
Where should I start with CR. I need a nighttime serum and lotion. Only like to try 1 or 2 products at a time. Sometimes sensitive. Almost 60 here. Thanks!
Hi Barb! If you aren’t using a retinol, her Retinol Serum is really great. The Age Renewal Super Serum is kind of like every serum in one, so that’s a great one if you just want one. As for moisturizer, I adore the Sheer Renewal cream for day. For night, Olehenriksen’s Gel Creme is super thick and hydrating!
This brand looks very intriguing!! I have been using colleen Rothschild and LOVING it but you never know when another brand might work just as well or better during a certain time of year! Thanks so much!!
I still absolutely love CR, too, and continue to use all my faves. These are some great products to layer in. xo. C
Ok this makes me want to try these! I am getting way more dark spots and love the sun. The primer – do it once a day but use it every day?
The mask – how often would you suggest?
The primer is to prep your face for makeup! As for the mask, you could do it a few times a week. xo. C
