Nivea - my daily essentials

I've been using Nivea in some way for as long as I can remember. But I thought it was time that I blogged about my favourite daily essentials. 

I'm obsessed with their lipbalms and have blogged about the lip butter in raspberry previously. They are so smooth and so lovely. I suffer with dry lips and honestly apart from Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream these are amazing. The Pearly Shine is my absolute favourite though. Currently I have about 5 of them - in my bag, my desk, my makeup drawers, in my living room... You get the picture! I love it - whenever I'm not coordinating my lippie to my outfit I use this. And have done since I was about 19! 

I also religiously use the Nivea Soft body cream. It makes my elephant elbows so soft and smooth. It's amazing as a hand cream and rubs in really well so aren't sticky for too long and it smells delightful. 

With regards to skin care, I use the Daily Essentials 2 in 1 cleanser. It literally melts the makeup off my skin. I apply with my fingers and then use a warm wash cloth to remove the residue andy skin feels so soft after and spotlessly clean. 

If I've been a bit eye make heavy and I can't quite get it all off with the cleanser, Niveas Daily Essentials Double Effect eye makeup remover is the one. It's uber gentle on the delicate eye area due to the 2 liquid formula. You give it a good shake to mix the 2 liquids together and press the cotton wool on the eye area and sweep off - don't rub! And any remains come off easily. So refreshing! 

Since turning 30 I've started to worry about wrinkles, lines and generally looking older, so about 10 weeks ago I invested in the Q10 range. Eye cream, serum and Day and Night creams.

 I've saved this review until now as I wanted to give a fair evaluation on the products. 

The Q10 anti wrinkle eye cream is great. I used it religiously and I can honestly say that it has reduced the dark under eye circles I have. I don't know if this product is a miracle cream but I'm sure it's helped my crows feet too! I love it and use it every day! It's very delicate hardly scented and doesn't sting. I will continue to use this product. 

Now I have mixed emotions about this product. The Q10 skin refining serum. It is definitely silky in texture and feels lovely on my skin- but is that as far as it goes? I use it in the morning after my eye cream and before my day cream. Honestly it doesn't "feel" like it would do much - however perhaps it's a combo of all the products that have helped the appearance of my lines...

The Q10 day cream with SPF 15 is fantastic! Not only does it feel like it is doing something it has an SPF well done nivea for that, and it sinks in well, isn't greasy and makes for the perfect base for makeup. I love it and will now make this my everyday moisturiser ( unless I try out the new nivea cream with argan oil!) I have normal skin and I'm not oily or greasy or dry come the end of the day. Perfect. 

Now the last product, the Q10 anti wrinkle night cream is my favourite! I can honestly say that it is a great product. I love that it's quite thick and nourishing. Now this one does leave you shiny!! However once you wake up - my skin has never felt so smooth and plump! All that as well as the lovely nivea scent. I look less tied and my skin seems to have life in it - I'm buying this forever! 

What is your favourite Nivea product? What do you recommend?
