MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH NIVEA

When it comes to skincare, it really does depend on what your skin is like and what your personal preference is. I have combination skin but it's definitely more on the normal to combination type, so I always buy and try products that are suited to my skin. And trust me, I have tried a ton of products, drugstore to high end, but one that always stands out for me is Nivea.

Nivea have been going for years, 103 to be precise, so they must be doing something good. Nivea is so affordable and definitely a favourite of mine. Their products are so gentle on my skin and don't break me out. So this post is dedicated to a few of my favourite Nivea skincare products. 

I miss and match my skincare products and update my routine like there's no tomorrow, to make sure I'm trying out new things, but the above products make always make a regular feature.
When it comes to removing makeup, I always use Nivea Facial Cleansing wipes for Normal to Combination skin and usually use a cleanser afterwards. These wipes are ideal for me because they get rid of majority of my makeup so cleansing is a breeze. I typically use Nivea eye make up remover first to avoid the panda eyes look. Next in comes the 2-in-1 Cleanser and Toner.
I like using ordinary cotton pads with the cleanser to make sure everything is off my face and it leaves my skin feeling fresher.

Nivea's Daily Essential's face wash gel and gentle exfoliator are a dream come true. They do exactly what they say they will without leaving my skin feeling irritated or tight, like some face washes have in the past.

When it comes to lip balms, I've got millions and I love them all, but this basic lip balm from Nivea just tops them off for me. It's so cheap, so nourishing and it smells really good too so I'm not going to complain!

What do you think of Nivea skincare?

SO I POPPED INTO BOOTS FOR FOUNDATION...

So I popped into Boots to get some more of my favourite drugstore foundation, Rimmel's Match Perfection, and then this happened. Whoops!  
I grabbed a few essentials like the foundation and powder, Nivea face wash and daily moisturiser and also got a few new things. I'm personally a fan of 'colour your hair at home kits' plus my little sister is a hairdresser, so if anything goes wrong I've always got her to hand. I picked up two of the Garnier Nutrisse permanent hair colour in the shade 4 Dark Brown.

That grey round tub you see, is in fact a nice big tub of Umberto Giannini Frizzi 'When Nothing Else Will Do Intense Mask'. The main reason I bought this was because I'm colouring my hair, so it becomes a little bit dry and any mask that promises to stop frizz is a must for me.
Had to pick up the Dove Go Fresh deodorant because it smells fab, and because deodorant is a fundamental necessity. Same with the Oval face pads, an essential for removing makeup!

A few more new things from MaxFactor for me to try. I love the colour of these two polishes (lilac lace / flushed rose) so I thought I'd give them a whirl and for some reason I just picked up the mascara and didn't think twice about it! Baring in mind how much I am in love with No7 Lash Impact mascara, I'm not sure what I'll make of it, but I'll keep an open mind.
Keep an eye out on my blog for reviews of these products!
