Being a completely new product for the brand, I really thought that this could either work really well or go really badly if I am honest.. Well this oil is like none of the oils I have had before in that it shines like the sun but with little to no product and is non sticky very quickly which I like. There is nothing worse than trying to get ready in the morning and waiting for your facial oil to calm down haha. It works well also with other products, it complimented well without balling up under makeup which was awesome and just what I was looking for. Nude by Nature as a company but also their loyal following of fans should be impressed as this item hit it out of the park for sure. I sit here looking at the practical and sturdy packaging, which may not be important to all but will be to others.

If someone had asked me to use Nivea in the past I would have hesitated due to all the unnecessary ingredients they have included in the past. The new 90%+ natural origin was a true winner for me. Then when the product worked as hard and fast as what it did while being gentle yet non irritating on my regularly sensitive skin, that was it. The fluffy cloud of a consistency cream had done exactly what I needed and wanted. When it comes to the packaging, I like how the tub is small at first but when you have to use little product to see the feel the effectiveness it makes me realise how great the value for money truly is. I like to that the variety of Naturally Good Nivea items has such gorgeous benefit ingredients for the skin, in this case, Argan Oil. Exactly what my skin needs before hitting the hay.

For a moisturiser that is effective under makeup - I want something lightweight, easy and quick to apply and provide me with all day hydration for my dry skin. This certainly does that! I apply the smallest pea size amount to both my forehead then another to each of my cheeks and once I feel my skin it does not leave any tackiness or greasy feeling - it is like it has already absorbed within the first minute. Out of all the primers I have placed on afterwards too, it has complicated all so far. The primer sticks to and compliments the texture, not wanting to work against it which I like. I was pleasantly surprised by this product and would recommend to anyone. If someone had asked me to use Nivea in the past I would have hesitated due to all the unnecessary ingredients they have included in the past. The new 90%+ natural origin was a true winner for me.

At the end of the working week I like to apply a cleanser to my dry skin that I know will definitely remove any last traces of makeup after washing off my makeup remover however thoroughly clean it of dirty, grime and residue I didn't even know was there. This does the job to perfection while also leaving your skin feeling as smooth as possibly. I never thought I would describe a cleanser as silky but this one certainly is.

When I wake up in the morning I experience sore eyes from the amount of water retention that has built up overnight. I do use an eye cream every morning to help with the soreness and that happens to be this miracle worker that only costs me $15 and I get a new one every 2 - 3 months. I apply the smallest amount to my finger, pat on asap and I instantly feel like my eye area is cooler and reduced in inflammation. Something you could easily work past in store but don't haha.

For someone like me that has blonde eyebrow hairs this is an absolute life saver. I have light brown hair and find it very difficult to find brows products that don't look fake and or take too much time to finesse. This is totally the exception to this rue though! I don't use the brush that is supplied (I use my own eyeliner Body Shop brush) but I do find this product makes me for the first time in my life feel confident having such natural looking brows whether it is for work, at home or going to an event.

For someone like myself that has such dry skin, this product is everything! It is an item that before now I have never used in my skincare regime but in saying that, could never live without now. For though of you reading this that don't know much about these products, they go on after toner but before serum / / facial oils / moisturiser to provide an even boost of oil into the skin. It could just be me but I also find it acts like a barrier throughout the day so that the items that follow stick to it and leave your skin feeling plumper for longer.

When Manicare first decided to bring out a makeup removal towel I was excited as I love this brand and am a loyal buyer from them. However I was happy with the first ten uses or so and then after that I found the towel to lose the effectiveness but I can see already from the upgraded version that won't be the case this time around. I love that this is more like a cushion than a towel and that water absorbs into it instead of feeling like it is just sitting on top of the makeup remover cushion so water does not feel like it is going all up your arms when you are trying to lean over your sink. My favourite part was once I was done, I cleaned the cushion with soap and with minimal force the makeup came straight off which was a nice surprise to see.

I must admit, trialling this product was fantastic as we had the opportunity to try both cleansing brushes that Manicare introduced as part of the Sonic range. On this occasion we got to try the silicone based brush heads and the difference I noticed most was the drying time. These brushes dried so much quicker than the one provided with the Sonic machine. However for a sensitive skin type I did prefer the original brush head that was supplied with the Sonic. For me, these particular brush heads I would prefer to use on a once - twice weekly basis and more so for with exfoliants, masks and scrubs and opposed to a cleanser. I really like how easily it is to place on a brush head but also remove after use or in between cleaning, instead of having to turn them a certain way or for a certain amount of time you just simply pull out and off.

For someone that has never used any type of facial sonic before I was very impressed. I love the fact that the sonic only needs two hours to charge because in some circumstances you need much more time for similar products to have enough energy to work. I have sensitive skin and found the brushes texture very gentle on my skin, so much so that if need be I could (and did) use twice a day. When reading about the product initially I did think that the power settings on the sonic might be too harsh for me but not in the slightest. The slower and faster face settings were just enough force to feel like they were working but not enough that they seemed aggressive. Taking the brush on and off the device was so simple as was the cleaning of each item after use as well. Manicare is a brand I have used for many years and I must say I am thrilled that now I have added to my collection - high quality, great price point and always reliable.
