I trialed this product as part of the Trial Team. I like the packaging of the product - it has a sturdy glass case and the top screws on securely, I was confident carrying this around with me in my handbag.
The product is quite runny and kind of messy as I applied it.
I think I ended up more stressed after using this as I must admit this did not perform for me. I'm not an overly sweaty/smelly person, my usual deodorant (just an average deoderant not a high performance type) gets me through stressful days at work and intense and heavy weight lifting gym sessions and high intensity interval cardio training.... This deodorant however did not.... I was left not smelling so pleasant and needing a showing only an hour or 2 after wearing this, that is in an air conditioned office. I re-applied throughout the day and prior to exercise, this didn't make a difference. I would not purchase this again or recommend this.
RESPONSE FROM NIVEA: Thank you kindly for your feedback, the detail you provided and your honesty. We regret to hear our new anti-perspirant deodorant performance did not meet your expectations. Our research into the unsavoury human phenomenon of sweating has shown that we produce a different sweat when we are stressed to the one produced while exercising – on top of that we found stress sweat causes stronger odours. NIVEA Stress Protect Anti-perspirant deodorants are specifically designed to tackle stress sweat and the accompanying odour through the use of targeted ingredients. In all of our product development, we endeavour to satisfy the expectations of as many people as possible and have received very positive feedback so far for this new product. From our 100 years of experience in skin care we also understand that skin is different from person to person, which in turn can make the product performance experience of one person quite different to the experience of another. We are truly sorry we haven't met yours at this point and would like to thank you again for your valuable feedback.

I'm not a lipstick wearer usually, although did like trialing this product.
It has a beautiful glamorous silver packaging, nice and easy to use in a classic lipstick container.
I trialled shade 379N which I would describe as a deep marron/pink shade.
Colour pay off is good and it is very smooth to apply. Lips are instantly enriched with beautiful mousturisers and it has an inbuilt gloss - just the right amount.
Lasting power without lip liner really isn't long at all when eating and drinking.
Lasting power with lip liner and set with powder is slightly longer although it then loses it's gloss which is part of the whole appeal.
It's a nice luxury item if you want to treat yourself, although it's not something I would re-purchase at that price simply due to the lack of staying power.

I seem to have problems finding a good liquid foundation, they often seems to change colour on my oily skin. I was recommended this by the Mac counter as being transparent it will not affect what it is being worn over, and so asked them to trial the product on me. Was pleasantly surprised - hurray - no foundation changing colour when using this! So I have now purchased it and am continually happy with it. The powder is extremly fine so there is no tell-tale powder look. With only the lightest of applications, skin is mattifyed and looks pore-less. Being so fine, it will not creep into or accentuate any fine lines. Helps set makeup to last all day. Comes in the classic Mac packaging. Very happy with this powder

Like teh shampoo, this has a very strong fragrance which lingers in the hair after use. I used this conditioner in the shower, leaving on for a few minutes and also left on the hair as a treatment for around 20 minutes. It has a thick consistency for a supermarket brand conditioner. Not too heavy on the hair however. No overly astounding results however not unpleasant to use either. I have very dry and damaged hair which always needs more moisture, I think this product is suitable for those with slightly dry hair but for myself I need something more heavy duty. Did not notice any shine as promised

I used to used Pantene regularly but it has been a few years now. My hair is very dry and damaged from colouring and heat styling so I have been using Redken, which has been amazing. Not a lot can give Redken a run for it's money so this Pantene was definately put 'to the test'.
The smell is very strong, it is a nice fragrance though reminds me a little bit of CK One actually. The product is rich and creamy and works ino the hair easily and cleans well even after one shampoo. I found my hair got fairly tangled with use and had to spend a fair amount of time combing the tangles out before applying the conditioner. Can't say I noticed any astounding results with moisture, I think for a supermarket brand it is ok and suited to those with slightly dry hair however for my hair I need something more heavy duty!

Upper lip hair.... what upper lip hair haha! These little beauties make embarrassing upper lip hair easy and simple to get rid of. The small size strips are perfect to work closely in small areas. Warm the strip between your hands then seperate. I like that when seperating you still get an even amount of wax on each strip. With other strips I have used with plastic backing, they don't seem to seperate well and you get a whole bunch of wax on one side, but not the other. The fabric backing is definately a better option. I would sometimes get small little pimples after using other types of wax on the lip area however while this wax is effective, it is still gentle on the face.
Also nice and easy to use for the brow area and did not cause any irritation. I usually cut a strip in half for the brow area, to be able to get in closer.
Over all, nice and easy to use and do not leave residue. Use the pre wax and post wax care strips also provided, and voila - super smooth!

An amazing blush which creates a multi dimendional look - giving you cheeks like you may have gotten from a surgeon... haha ok maybe not exactly however the dual colour in conjunction with the shimmer mean you can easily apply this blush to really bring out and play up the cheeks, even if you are not blessed with the most prominent cheek bones like myself.
It gives a light colour payout which is nice if you want to lasyer over another blush product. The powder itself is very fine and soft. Very easy to blend also

It's great to see a cosmetics brand offering the option of a pump to be used with their foundation bottles! I wish more brands would follow lead. This fits perefctly with all MAC foundation bottles I have tried.
The pump disperses product a lot easier than having to tip product out, not to mention eliminating a lot of mess and product wastage. This little pump is one saviour!

I had makeup applied at an EL counter and the BA recommended I use this product for my large pores and uneven skintone. I love the packaging and although it's exxy, it does last ages. The smell is really nice, a lovely fresh fruity smell but not too overbearing. It's a lovely silky consistency and it spreads very well over the skin.
I really like the feel of the product, as all other reviewers have said it makes your skin so smooth and silky. As for the actual pore minimising effects - I persevered with 2 bottles of product but it did not have any effect in minimizing pore size.
This is an absolutely divine primer though!

I was recommended this by a friend and purchased at a GWP time.
The packaging is lovely, very luxe. You also get a refil which is great.
Have to say, this doesn't have good staying power and always ends up smudging on me.... not a fan of the Taylor Momsen look!
It's very soft also so be careful you don't push too hard as it breaks easily.
The tip is quite thick so when applying, use small feathery strokes.
I would prefer the prestige, revlon or rimmel eyeliners - half the price or less and definately outperform this
