I received a full-value coupon from Chick Advisor to try the NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Cream.
Apart from the generous amount of body butter offered, NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Cream also provides smooth coverage without leaving a film on the skin. The texture is creamy without being too thick, and the scent is soft but detectable. It also provides a subtle glow.
I usually apply it after showering to help lock in moisture onto my skin. So far, I am pleased with how smooth and soft my skin feels when using this product.

I find most protein bars to taste rather gross, to be blunt. But the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter managed to surprise me. It had a chewy texture without being too crunchy, and although it has a low sugar content, it tasted pleasantly sweet. It has a good blend of peanut butter and chocolate, with neither flavour overwhelming the other.
Overall, this is something I would purchase of my own accord.

I enjoy the flavour of lemon poppy seed, but I wasn't sure how this would translate into a protein bar. Surprisingly, the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed bar was better than I expected. It had a chewy texture without being too crunchy or crispy. I also liked that the flavour didn't taste too artificial, and it didn't crumble when I ate it.
The only thing amiss was that the bar did taste slightly dry. I think "chalky" may be a better description.However, it's nothing that can't be overlooked overall.

IÖGO PROTEINE is the ideal snack for that time when you're running out the door or for when you want to relax on the sofa with a creamy yogurt. I tried the Vanilla flavour, and it did not disappoint. Its texture was creamy, lush, and satisfying. I didn't find the taste to be artificial, which is a bonus for me.
Also, I didn't see water sitting on top of the yogurt, which made me happy. :) It sounds a bit silly, but I don't like having to tip yogurts over the sink to remove liquids that gather on the top.

I have a set schedule as to when I wash my hair. However, there are times when my hair needs a quick "freshening up" in between washes. Dry shampoo comes to the rescue during those times!
I found Dove Refresh + Care Volume Dry Shampoo to have an awesome scent — soft and pleasant. I am particular as to the scents I apply, and I was pleased that this one was not overwhelming or offensive.
In terms of removing the oil from my oil, I saw immediate results after a little fluffing around the roots to help distribute the product. There was a little boost in volume, nothing major but certainly an improvement. In addition, I love its small size. It's great for slipping into my bag when I am heading out the door to the gym or I will be away from the house for most of the day.
Overall, I would recommend this product to friends, and I would purchase it in the future when my hair needs a little extra TLC.

Out of all the products tested, the NIVEA Essential Lip Balm was probably the main favourite. It kept my lips moisturized for hours, which meant I didn't have to bother reapplying it time and time again. It glides on with ease and didn't leave a bad taste (which some products are prone to do). I like to apply it before heading to bed or when I am going out without makeup. It keeps my lips soft and prevents cracking skin.

Nivea Creme is a familiar staple. Most of my family has used it at some point or another. I like its delicate scent and the texture. At the very least, it certainly helps to moisturize my body.
That said, in some regards, I think it is too "heavy" for a facial moisturizer. I prefer to use it on elbows, knees, or hands. It helps the skin, keeping it soft and supple.

I have gotten back into the grove of spray deodorants, but for heavy activity, I stick to, well, the stick. NIVEA Protect & Care Antiperspirant/Deodorant works both to stop sweat and the stinky scent that follows it.
In terms of the scent, after applying it, I found it to be pleasant, non-offensive. In some regards, it reminded me of a man's deodorant. When it came time to stop the sweating, I found it to be effective somewhat. I can't claim it was awesome at stopping at sweat, but it has its advantages at keeping a person drier than normal. After sweating, I didn't find any strong odours, so I also believe it helps in that regard.

I feel that when it comes to removing my makeup, liquid removers are the best. Still, I am always on the lookout for cleansing wipes that are effective yet gentle. NIVEA Creme Care Facial Cleansing Wipes had a pleasant, scented smell, and they felt soft on my skin. I found them to be most effective in removing facial grime when I hadn't worn makeup that day or when I had worn minimal makeup (e.g., just a little concealer and powder). However, when it came time to removing a full face of makeup, the wipes were not that great. Half of my mascara and eyeliner still remained and I was running out of space for a clean spot on the wipe to use. Still, I wouldn't dismiss them outright, as they work under small conditions.
