I have been using this cream for a few weeks and it has been ok. Not as great as the original that I have used nearly all my life, but I would say it's a good alternative. It absorbs into the skin really well and leaves it feeling soft and smooth but the smell is overwhelming. It's really too strong for my tastes.
I also didn't notice any firming of the skin, though maybe if I were to continue its use, I may see some improvements.

I have been using this cream for a few weeks and it has been a good alternative to my regular Nivea hand cream.
It does not leave your skin feeling greasy and absorbs into the skin really well and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. It does have a strong perfume scent and this is the only reason I would not recommend for those who are sensitive to strong smells.
I really enjoyed this product though I saw no change in the appearance of my young wrinkles.

I should start by saying that I am a Nivea user for over 30 years, when mother used to slather us after the beach with its thick white cream so it should come as no surprise that the body oil was a new happy addition to my after-shower routine.
The bottle itself is a perfect grip size and though it looked like it would leak, it does not! I ma not sure how they managed to add a stopper to the opening but it was a pleasant surprise to find out that I can tip it and it will not spill everywhere.
The oil is smooth and very nourishing. My skin felt soft, pliant and hydrated all day without any greasy residue.
I have been using this oil for a few weeks and it has been wonderful.
The only reason I ma not giving it a 5 star in quality is its strong sent. Nivea products are renowned to have subtle and clean scents where as this oil has a very strong floral scent. It is the only reason why I wouldn't get a second bottle.
Overall, a great product .

Hawaiian Tropic Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+

As a Mediterranean, I am rarely in the mindset to protecting my skin but my son is a different story. We were in the Emirates (Abu Dhabi) 2 years ago in September and needed to buy more sunscreen for my son; this was the only thing I could find so I tried it, hoping that my son's sensitive skin will not break-out. It didn't! We were so pleasantly surprised that I am now in the habit of protecting not only my son, but my self too. I slather it on my shoulders, chest and nose once or twice a day whenever I'll be walking outside in the sun.
The smell is heavenly, it goes on smooth and doesn't leave any sticky or oily residue and I only apply it again after a swim. It doesn't protect our skin from getting a bit of a tan, but it does deflect burns and tanning too fast. We now use it all the time, adults and kids.
Would really recommend, especially if you're already planning on spending $15 anyway.

I had been using a different brand for almost 22 years and this Nivea Deodorant was on sale a couple of months ago. I generally love all Nivea products that are original sent so this seemed like a good bet. And it was!
No flaky white reside, smells wonderful without being too overpowering, lasts really long and the price is just right.

Mayo with a bit of fries? Check
On spaghetti? You bet!
With a bit of bread, chicken and tomatoes? Awesome Sandwich!
Basically, if my stomach were made of stronger lining, I would snack on this straight from the bottle ;)

Dry to extremely dry skin here. This bottle is on my kitchen skin windowsill and is used everyday.
Light, goes on smooth and not sticky at all.
Absorption is fast, but then again, my skin is very dry to begin with and will pretty much absorb anything.
The scent is fantastic! I had tried the creme at a friends house a couple months ago and was hooked by the scent and the smoothness of my hands after rubbing it in.
I would recommend!

Though I am a great believer in Lancôme products, this one really didn't do it for me. It smelled great, and was very lightweight but that's about it.
The price is pretty steep for such a small tube, even for Lancôme.
I have had dark spots for about 6 years now (yes, since the age of 34!), and haven't found anything to alleviate the darkness.
Sorry to say, but this product was a fail for me.

I was given a sample of the new Scores Ribs, you know, those frozen take out of the box ribs and cook for 10 minutes Ribs?
I've tried others, and though one was pretty good, it just wasn't the same as in-restaurant.
Imagine my great surprise when these ribs, that come from a restaurant that is an ok price point, actually delivered an awesome Ribs.
It says right there on the box, melt off the bone Ribs. And oh yeah, they really do. The sauce is great, the rack of Ribs is so good, my son tells me he would rather have the Scores Ribs than go to the Restaurant, hallelujahs!

Essie Grow Faster Base Coat
Can I just say WOW. I am a nail biter and this product helped me grow my nails at a rate that even I couldn't keep-up with. Plus, it stays on longer than any others I have tried.
