I have quite sensitive skin and super sensitive eyes. To my dismay, every product I have tried - no matter how it promises it won't bother my eyes - causes itching, tearing, red eyes, etc. To say I was skeptical using this product to remove my mascara would be an understatement. But it worked, removing every trace of my eye make-up And there was ZERO eye irritation which I still can't believe. The fact that this single product does it all is not just another claim - it's a promise Nivea has kept. I LOVE this stuff, as do my eyes. I'd almost stopped using any eye make-up because of the hassle removing it, but now I'm back to wearing mascara and eyeliner. Thank you Nivea! -
NIVEA Care Nourishing Cream

I was gobsmacked by this wonderful cream! I have always loved regular Nivea but wouldn't use it if I was putting clean clothes on because it was a tad greasy, though effective. This new cream smells glorious and while very rich, isn't at all greasy. I have pretty dry skin and find it super effective. It basically ticks all my boxes! -
Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer
I have never used primer before ;-) and wasn't sure what to expect. Well, this stuff was fabulous. It blended quickly & completely & lay the perfect palette for the Nude by Nature powder (which I absolutely love!).

Nude by Nature Mineral Brush 11
This is one of the softest brushes I have ever used. It also blends the powder beautifully & completely. Absolutely LOVE this & would recommend to anyone!

I absolutely love this stuff! I tried mineral powder once and thought it looked cakey and swore I'd never use it again. I was lucky to receive a free sample (with brush & primer!) from Chick Advisor and wasn't quite sure how to use it as I've never used a primer either. LOL
I applied the primer, waited 5 minutes and then tried the powder on one side of my face initially, frankly not quite sure what I was doing! I asked the BF and he could tell which side but said it looked completely natural (A+ rating from him bcos he doesn't like make-up at all). I thought so too & even checked outside in the sun with a mirror. I have never used a makeup that had such a natural finish. The coverage is subtle, soft and the N3 Almond was perfect for my complexion (I'm quite fair), even though I though it looked dark in the container. I feel like it sort of warmed up my winter pale skin, but in a completely natural way.
I'm a stickler for a natural look & will go without rather than have that fake look that I always seem to wind up with from most products.
I also love that it's all natural ingredients, no preservatives, cruelty-free, so I know my skin isn't going to go ballistic and break out in Rosacea as it often does.
The primer is also lovely & now that I know what it is, I am now a fan ;-) but I must also rave about the brush. It's soft as silk and an excellent quality.
This is definitely going to be my everyday make-up. No more foundation, powder, etc.
I really love this product & am anxious to check out their other products!
A++ from this reviewer!

I loved this stuff! I have very sensitive skin and we've had an unusually cold winter on the west coast so my face has been very angry recently! But this micellar water was fantastic, including removing mascara from my overly sensitive eyes. At first it felt strange not washing my face but using this is so convenient. I highly recommend this, especially for sensitive skin. -
Vichy Pureté Thermale 3in1 One Step Cleanser
I think the quality is fine, but I really don't like a leave-on, wipe-off cream. It might be just me, but I like to wash my face with a gentle cleanser and water. I want it gone after cleansing! I didn't like the feeling of this, even after wiping... +
I think the quality is fine, but I really don't like a leave-on, wipe-off cream. It might be just me, but I like to wash my face with a gentle cleanser and water. I want it gone after cleansing! I didn't like the feeling of this, even after wiping it off. However, I did try it in the shower and rinsed it off with water and it felt fine. -

I'm a bit iffy about this. I initially tried it alone as a mask (as suggested in packaging) and found it irritated my eyes although I didn't put it anywhere near them. I found it quite greasy alone, but a few drops (like 2) with the cream was actually really lovely, especially at night when I really want a rich cream for sleep. I'm not sure I'd buy this because of the eye irritation factor, but I am definitely using it occasionally. -

This was genuinely lovely; the texture is creamy and my skin felt very soft after and stayed that way. My only complaint is that it doesn't have sunscreen and I need that for day. I don't like using too many layers, so I usually use a day cream with SPF/sunscreen. However, this is so effective that I do use it most nights and it's really fab as I am using Retain A. I would buy this by the barrel if it had SPF! -

I have very dry, sensitive skin and have trouble finding something that both moisturizes my skin, yet makes me feel clean, too. My search is over! And St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea smells divine. I love this product line because it is very reasonably priced and consistently excellent. -
