Nivea BB Cream & Nivea tinted moisturiser review

Hi guys,

I wanted to do a very quick review on Nivea BB cream & tinted moisturiser. 



moisturiser 

 Okay so first talking about this Tinted moisturiser. I got this in 'Natural'.Its quite good for its price, i got this in Boots for €2.74 which was reduced from  €5.49 

Product description 


NIVEA® Daily Essentials Tinted Moisturising Day Cream Natural enriched with light-reflecting pigments, Vitamins & Hydra IQ: The formula with Vitamins helps even the skin tone, blends in well with skin and provides a radiant looking complexion.With special blend of light reflecting and colour pigments, the formula reduces the appearances of imperfections.Moisturises and helps to protect the skin from environmental influences that result in premature skin ageing with SPF8.

Review
This tinted moisturiser may not work for all skin types. I have fairly oily skin.  This tinted moisturiser feels a bit thick and isn't the most light-weight, but it does the trick for me. I apply it with either my clean hands or a flat top kabuki brush. It has light-medium coverage, but it buildable enough to do a decent job in covering hyperpigmentation and little break outs. It leaves the skin very moisturised, but not overly oily or greasy at all. 
I would say, make sure you blend it in really well and if you want the extra coverage, build up thin layers and wait for them to dry. If you use a large amount of product and don't blend it well, it can look a bit cakey.

Nivea BB Cream

I got this one in Boots for €4.24 which was reduced from €8.49
There were 2 shades, Light and Medium, I chose Light

Product description 

Covers imperfections such as blemishes, signs of fatigue, dark eye circles, reddish skin colour and fine lines. Illuminates complexion, boosting skin's natural glow.
Provides light, fast absorbing moisture
Helps to protect the skin from sunlight induced environmental influences and premature ageing with SPF 10.

Review
I had read a few reviews about this product before, good & bad so thought i'd give it a try myself. Since i got the shade light i thought it might be too light on my pale/tanned skin however it wasn't too bad at all. Its good to cover blemishes etc.  but definitely doesn't give the glow. If you have red high coloured cheeks then this would be perfect for you. Its not too orangish at all   gave me a very natural no makeup look. So instead of using my foundation i use this BB cream with  Collection long lasting perfection ultimate wear powder, which gives a very nice natural look perfect for everyday.

Victoria&K 100% Organic Argan Oil (Review)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


There’s been plenty of hype about Argan oil in the recent years. This is my first pure Argan oil experience. Keep reading to find out more! 


100% Pure Organic Argan Oil 

Victoria&K offers you the best Moroccan Argan Oil, the beauty secret of many women for centuries. Argan oil is recognized as a fundamental element in cosmetic care and is now a favorite of the beauty industry. 




Introductory information of Victoria&K (Sourced from net): 

 " At Victoria&K we believe in 100% Organic beauty products. Argan oil is 100% pure and totally organic. Sourced sustainably from the foothills of the Atlas mountains in Morocco, we personally source our products, making sure the the communities are given a fair price for the Argan kernel, and that each batch is pressed to the highest quality. Pure Argan oil is packed with Vit E and essential fatty acids which are not just great for your hair but also great for the body too. Victoria&K is the all in one hair and body treatment that you have been waiting for.

I received this recently and it arrived very quickly, well packed and beautifully packed & very easy to use. I absolutely love it. Its great for both Hair and skin care. I used it as part of my hair care routine, it wasn't too greasy at all unlike the other oils i have used nor did it smell bad. Speaking of the scent, it's kind of a mild nutty aroma with some hints of spice. I find it quite refreshing actually.  

The oil  made my  hair softer, silkier and shinier. It is the ideal hair conditioner, and it can even help to treat split ends and tame frizzy hair. I personally enjoyed it the most while using on my hands. It feels ultra light, softens the skin & imparts a subtle glow.  




I also used it as a  skin moisturiser to hydrate and soften my skin. With its high vitamin E and fatty acid content, argan oil is the ideal product to give skin a natural boost. It absorbs easily and is non-greasy and non-irritating, which makes it a great natural moisturiser. It is very easy to use all over the body, including the face and neck. Simply place a few drops onto your skin using gentle rubbing motions, as you would any face and body lotion. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. 

(No makeup/Edit photo clearly shows how much my chicken pox scars from my cheeks have cleared out, even though i have only been using it at night for a week)

You might like it if…

  • You have aging/dry/normal skin type
  • You’re looking for a natural moisturizer
  • You use it to tame dry/frizzy hair
  • You use it sparingly (2-3 drops)
  • It makes your skin feel soft and plump
  • You find it affordable
  • You enjoy the mild nutty spicy aroma
  • You use it on your body/nails/cuticles
  • It’s 100% natural skin care product
