Baghag has the scoop on the Olay Launch in Shangrila last Thursday: Socialclimbing hag Log: OLAY Total Effects + TRESOR (thebaghag.blogspot.com) ” After a few times of usage of Total Effects, we met up with the other women who were part of this group, and had a nice lunch at Shangrila Hotel, to discuss the after effects of the product. … 😀 So I religiously used this product to this day 🙂 Olay is the same product that our mothers used back when we were just tiny tots, and now I guess it is really our turn to start using the product. Our moms have sworn by it, and now I am one of the moms who swear by it 🙂 (Olay Total Effects is not yet available in the local market, but soon will be :D)” This cool machine that baghag was talking about is what we call the Olay Total Effects Beauty Imaging System.
