Review: Nivea Creme

Look at how time flies eh, it's mid October already! And fast forward a few more weeks we'll be looking at the end of the year and singing Auld Lang Syne to this year (That's why I do every year end :D) and fret about getting a year older and all.. Man I miss this year already!

And yes, sorry for the long disappearance again and there is no excuse I know. So here I am with a treat for you guys, a review on Nivea Creme!

Credits Here

The iconic blue tin and creamy white cream has been around for so long that they are passed through generations. I remember the smell of Nivea Creme in the house in my younger days but it wasn't until recently when I was looking for a pick-me-up after a long jogging session that I picked this up after debating whether I really need this or just buying it cause I need a pick-me-up.

Needless to say I pick it up.

I have the biggest conflict about this cream, my hands love it and I don't fancy the smell. I mean it's tolerable because I just slap it on and go to sleep. But that is exactly what is stopping me from repurchasing the cream. I like my moisturisers that I use on my body daily to be non scented or lightly scented and Nivea's.. is kind of heavily scented for me ): So that's a minus one.

However.. my skin, or rather my hands love it and I always wake up to beautifully soft skin the next day or when you've been drinking and your whole body is dried up like a prune? I slap on Nivea Creme and my hands just drink it up and becomes softer. So it does work! And works fast too! And because of Nivea Creme, I don't have dry scaly hands anymore! So that's a plus one.

Hmm.. so does this make me want to repurchase this creme? Considering I've just finished it yesterday.. Hmm.. Maybe not. I still have tonnes of moisturisers to go through so it'd probably be awhile before I come around to repurchase this.

Have you ladies tried Nivea Creme? What's you take on it? Do let me know in the comments! Thanks & have a great day! :D

What I Put On My Face At Night - Yves Rocher Hydra Specific Night Cream

This is how my night regime goes - Lotion -; Serum - ; Moisturiser -; Eye Care

As skincare benefits are better reaped at night when the skin is able to absorb the active ingredients in more, I usually don't hold back on what I put on at night. For night time, I prefer more hydrating things because my skin might be oily on the forehead, but it's really dehydrated on the cheek area *fine lines. check*

My night time moisturiser, Yves Rocher Hydra Specific Night Moisturiser which promises deep replenishing night care. And deep replenishing night care it gives! And the Hydra Specific range is specially for hydration purposes.

I'm a big fan of Yves Rocher's skincare products because it's all natural, albeit on the heavy cream side. And the smell, oh the smell. I think the French like their things heavily perfumed but I guess it's okay by me because the smell goes away after awhile.. Considering the benefits that it's given me all this while.. I'd say forget about the smell!

The cream is packaged in a clear 50ml jar which I love. I love jars, anything that comes in jars, although unsanitary, *coughs*. I tend to gravitate to anything that comes in a jar packaging because I can dig onto the very last bit unlike tubes that I have to cut them open to half and finish the remaining products.

The colour of the cream comes in white and the texture is pretty heavy, like I say and caution to oily skinned ladies, do apply a pea size amount on your face cause anything bigger than that, will sort of makes you 'sweat' out. Not good, not good. Especially in our humid weather.

The cream is absorbed fairly fast into my skin, especially after I team it up with my serum, the cream just gets absorbed into my skin quickly! As in no greasiness at all, anymore! Yay. And its a bonus point that I wake up with baby soft skin, I kid you not!

I was on a trip a couple of months back and I didn't bring this gem with me.. and thanks to cabin air and everything, my skin was flat out dehydrated and when I came back I immediately put this on and voila! I wake up in the morning to baby smooth skin again!

However, because it's relatively heavy, (it's cream), I sometimes tend to skip this moisturiser when I know I'm not going to bed immediately (I do wash my face sometimes in the evening) because of the humidity levels here, it will make me sweat out ):

But apart from this little complaint, the cream is fine and moisturises my skin fairly well, and I might repurchase this when I run out, during my birthday because Yves Rocher has a buy one free one policy during your birthday month, woohoo!

:D

Yves Rocher Hydra Specific Night Cream can be bought at Yves Rocher retail outlets.

Johnson's 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion

Description:

Helps stop the 3 signs of dryness. With shea butter, vitamin E and jojoba oil to help 1) reduce skin tightness 2) lessen skin flakiness and 3) Revive dull-looking skin. Your skin is moisturised for 24 hours, feeling touchably baby-soft and baby smooth.

this is how it looks like, I bought the 100ml bottle.

The ingredients, do enlarge to see properly. It contains mineral oil.

And this is how it looks like! Gosh I am crazy over white lotions cause I find them so pretty! Haha, weird I know but it's just the way I like my lotions. White and no fancy fancy colour!

So, does it really perform?

I picked this up in Watsons a few months ago as I was going on my Johnson's baby lotion craze. They are just the loveliest bunch of lotions out there besides my favorite Yves Rocher Silky Cream. They just sink into your skin quickly with no stickiness left behind. And the plus point is that you will have silky smooth skin the next day. No kidding! However the scent is different from its predecessors as it's more towards fruity? Maybe. But the smell goes away after awhile so if you prefer your lotions odourless, this will not be your choice. But if you're like me who applies lotion on liberally, this would be your best pick! Oh and did I mention you can get this lotion anywhere?! So no worries if you do run out of them and is in an urgent fix (=

Repurchase? DEFINITELY!!

Retailing at Watsons, Guardians, Caring pharmacies and all supermarkets at less than RM10 and big bottles are retailing at RM18 or so.

And it's saying something cause I honestly don't wear lipsticks at all. And do you know that Stage is having a buy 1 free 1 offer?

That's how I got my stuff from Stage the other day. The deals are just so good that you couldn't resist them! So really, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get them already!
