It's got a light pleasant smell. It didn't dry out my hands, which is really nice. I have a family of five and even though this is a smaller bottle, and with how many times we have to wash our hands, I believe it's going to last quite a while. Even my husband likes this one, so thumbs up from us! -

So I tried this on my two 13 year old twin girls. I got them both to try for the same amount of time, roughly 3 weeks. They have both have fair to moderate amount of acne on their foreheads and chins. They also did not want me taking pictures so I didn't. One the one kid, it worked pretty good, within a five days we did notice a difference. On the other, even after a few weeks, nothing had changed. I did monitor them while they were applying to make sure it was done right.
Now, a few things. It gets worse before it gets better. I found it caused both of the girls to break out more before it actually started to help. Eventually on the one girl we had to stop and go get an actual prescription. The other I found it helped. Also, it did dry both of their skin out. So I would recommend maybe applying a good moisturizer before using.
In all, one kid it worked alright the other not so much. Like anything else, it'll probably depend on your skin type. Also, if you have a high to severe amount of acne, a prescription will probably be your best bet.

Right off the bat, this product doesn't smell like coconuts or anything else like that. Thank the lord. I'm so sick of smelling like a walking fruit stand when it comes to sunscreen.
This product is also very light feeling. So I mix it with my foundation to give me some sun protection. I'm really liking it. It's only spf 50, but that's just fine for the face. It doesn't feel like you're weighed down with lotion either which honestly is a breath of fresh air. Would I purchase this for my entire body? No. For my makeup routine and face, for sure.

Alright, I didn't think I was going to like this. I was dead wrong. I tend to have really dry skin at this time of year and almost everything I end up using makes my skin feel really oily later on.
This was a different story for this product. It smells really nice, not on the strong side at all. The texture is smooth and almost like gel infused with water. The nice part about it is that as soon as you put it on it dries up. I love that. No oily texture or greasy feeling later on.
I'm really liking this product!

So the packaging is standard. Like any other wipes in comes in a bag that can be reused because of the plastic top opening.
The wipes themselves are not overly wet, so at first I didn't think that they would do the job. I was wrong. After using one wipe to remove all of my makeup my face felt fresh. I didn't feel like I just took a shower with a wipe. It also smells really nice and it's not an overpowering scent.
I'm not someone who usually buys wipes for make up removal. I tend to buy the liquid stuff. However, after using these, I might actually change my mind.

NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Cream
Did not feel greasy, smelled really nice, it absorbed quickly into my skin. Made my dry skin really smooth and hydrated. Would recommend for sure. Had a nice smell, which I've now come to expect from this brand.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter

I received two of each kind. The Chocolate Peanut Butter and the Lemon Poppy Seed. Me and my husband tried each one of them. Although we both really didn't like the lemon one, he said he didn't mind the chocolate one. I really didn't like either. They're chalky and dry. The after taste is horrible. I've had quite a few protein bars before, but these I just couldn't get past the left over weird metal taste and the dryness of the bar. Not for me at all. -
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed
So I've had protein bars before. I wasn't expecting much to begin with and that's what I got. It's really gritty and dry like sawdust. I've had protein/power bars that weren't this bad. But this, I just can't even get over the after taste and the... +

Aright, so I tried this out a few times. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, so I figured I should try it again in a few days. Turns out, this product is just not for me. I find the smell pleasant, but overbearing. So I guess the only way that's a positive is if you are someone that has hair that doesn't smell the greatest that day. However, if perfumes and strong smells bother you, this really isn't for you. Also, after using this product, it made my hair stiff and unmanageable. It even made my hair look and feel way dirtier than it actually was. It also made my clothing white and my skin sticky. So unfortunately this really isn't for me. -

NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer for Normal Skin was the perfect base for my makeup and kept my skin comfortable and soft all day.
Right from the beginning, as soon as I opened it, you could tell. It was a pretty good product. It's not super jelly or clumpy like other ones and it's silky smooth. It smells great, which is just a bonus really, and it's not an over powering smell, thank the gods for small favors. Just like the box says, apply in small circles and it dries within seconds. So as great as the product feels and smells, does it hold up?
The answer, for me at least, is yes. I smoothed on the primer in circles just like I was told to. After it dried I applied my foundation and the rest of my 'face'. Even after six hours of wearing my layers of makeup, it still looked like I had just put it on. And I'm not going to tell you I have expensive makeup. Nope. Just regular Cover Girl and store brand bought stuff. It lasted all day and the part I love the most is that by the end of my day my eye makeup, wasn't all clumped up in my eyelid or crease. So yay! I have to say, I wasn't getting my hopes up when I got this, but it's something that's is now going to be on my must haves! Not to mention, it really did help with my dry skin.
