Nivea Men Deep Espresso review: Coffee anyone?

Image
When I heard that Nivea had turned coffee into a deodorant I was intrigued! What would coffee smell like on a person? I love my cup of coffee and I cannot function properly without getting my day started on one, but would I enjoy the smell of it on my man? That is a question I was more than eager to answer hence I took on the challenge to have my guy test the new Nivea deep espresso deodorant. The results have been phenomenal! Much like a good cup of coffee, the scent is very distinct and surprisingly addictive. It lingers in the room for a while after application and this staying power is evident on his skin as well. I enjoy it’s freshness and have quite liked how it keeps him smelling fresh throughout the day. This has become his gym bag essential as he uses it frequently to freshen up in the shower after a good workout or a run on the open road. Its versatility appeals to me as well and I find that I wouldn’t mind it on our teenage son or my uncles and even my dad. The produc

Pond's Age Miracle Serum Review

Hey darlings! Anyone who knows me knows that I am absolutely obsessed with my skin and therefore I have been pretty adventurous in the past with trying out different products that promised to give me the solution to my skin concerns. Unfortunately I have had some not so pleasant experiences with some products, landing up in hospital on the day of my brother in law's wedding with a severely swollen face after I had tried out a serum for the first time. This was the second reaction I had to a beauty product in just under a year, the first one being less dramatic and only leaving me with a harsh rash that dried out and left me with the most horrendous peeling effect. My sensitive skin has certainly taught me to be a lot more cautious with products and therefore when I signed up to test and review the Pond's Age Miracle Serum I was anxious about how my skin would respond. I decided to give it a go as I had used Pond's products in the past, particularly as a teenager when

Nivea skin care campaign 💚

A week ago I was selected to be a part of the amazing campaign to put the brand new Nivea aloe and hydration body lotion to the test.  Today is exactly a week later and I must admit I have enjoyed every moment of giving my skin some much needed attention in these harsh winter conditions. Making this body lotion a part of my daily skincare routine has been so easy, not only does it smell fantastic, but it is fast absorbing and non greasy, making getting ready in the mornings a breeze. My skin often reacts badly to winter and I’ve struggled to get a product that keeps it hydrated throughout the day and helps me avoid that ashy effect that keeps me reaching out for lotion on a regular basis. This past week, I’ve literally applied lotion once in the morning and I have stayed confidently hydrated until the evening when I take my shower before bedtime. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using this product and if you, like myself have had a struggle with dry skin, go on and put it to the test. I I h
