I received this product free from ChickAdvisor and Nivea Canada to review.
I have been using the Nivea Care Intensive Nourishment non-greasy cream for about a week now.
My legs amd arms are the areas that is most in need of moisture so I thought those were the best test areas.
The container is a great shape and size. I was happy to see the foil lid when I opened the container to help protect the product from unwanted touching in the store. I was also happily surprised when I peeled back the foil and the cream was all the way to the top of the container! For the approx $13 I think this is a great value.
The texture of the cream is quite thick and feels like it will be a heavy product. Once smoothed on to my skin it absorbs quickly. I like putting this on just as I am going to bed but there is no sheet sticking to my legs. The product is amazingly quick absorbing and lives up to the non-greasy claim. My legs and arms also feel quite moisturized still in the morning so the product absorbs into my more than it stays on my sheets!
The scent of the product is a bit strong to me but dissipates quickly. Fragrance is listed as an ingredient as well. It does smell quite similar to other Nivea lotions I have had in the past.
I have not tested this on my face although the packaging says it is for your body, face and hands. My face tends to not like change and I didn't want to upset it.
I would definitely buy this again once I run out.

I have been using the NIVEA MicellAIR Micellar Water for dry and sensitive skin for about a week now.
It does well at removing my mascara and more importantly does not irritate my eyes. I don't wear makeup other than mascara so I can't say how it would do beyond mascara. I don't need a lot of product either so for the price (approx. $9 for 400mL) I can see the bottle lasting me a few months at least with daily use.
I do not find there is a residue or sticky feeling left on my skin like I have found with other brands. My skin feels refreshed and dare I say cleaner than before I use the product.
There have been a couple late nights and early mornings where this was all I used to cleanse my skin (bad I know) but I have not woken up with any negative issues.
I also love the bottle. Its shape is easy to hold on to and the lid is one of the better designed ones. The flip top is smooth with no extra spout on it and I have found it easier to dispense the amount of product I want as well as no unnecessary drops. Less wasted product!
I would definitely buy this again when I run out and recommend this to anyone looking for a Micellar water to add to their routine.

The Body Shop Coconut Hand Cream
I love this hand cream. The coconut scent is amazing. Of course it reminds me a bit of summer and suntan lotion but I love it. The cream absorbs well and keeps my skin moisturized!

I have struggled with breakouts for as long as I can remember. This cleanser seems to keep my breakouts at bay. I was a bit worried it would smell like sulphur as the brand markets their use. The smell was not overpowering to me at all and actually pleasant to me. Yes it still smells like a cleanser but I prefer that overly fruity or a heavy chemical smell. My skin feels clean and soft after using it. It does tend to dry out my skin a bit but I always follow up qith Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream anyways so it doesn't feel dry for long! My breakouts are few and far between and usually only when I am too tired to wash my face. Great cleanser all around. The lovely pink shade of it is a fun bonus as well.
I would say this cleanser is great for acne prone skin. You may want to follow up with a moisturizer depending on your skin type.

I currently pair this with Kate Somerville EradiKate Daily Cleanser Acne Treatment as part of my daily routine. I was a bit turned off by the price but I typically onmy need to buy it every month a half or so. A little bit goes a long way for me. After my cleanser my skin tends to feel a bit dry but after this moisturizer my skin always feels hydrated and soft. There is no scent to the moisturizer to speak of. The texture is medium thickness and spreads evenly and well. It absorbs into my skin easily and doesn't leave me waiting for it to dry. I love the pump top so you can easily get a small amount with out dipping your fingers directly into the jar. The pump alsp ensure you get every last drop!
Overall this moisturizer is amazing and pairs well for me with the cleanser. It doesn't weigh down my skin at all. Typically I avoided putting anything extra on my skin as it always made me breakout. This is not the case with this moisturizer. I can't wait to try other products from this brand to add to my skin care routine.

I bought my Foreo about 4 years ago and used it a few times a week but it never made it into my daily routine. About a month ago I charged it up and revisited it. I have no idea why I never made the effort to use it daily years ago! I now use it twice a day. My skin is softer and smoother! The built in 2 minute timer ensures I wash each area of my face and give my skin the love it deserves. I have quite sensitive skin but the tiny bristles don't bother me at all. The vibrations of the Foreo unit are subtle but effective. My skin isn't even red after I use it. My breakouts have been clearing up and even the areas I have picked at (bad I know) are clearing up faster. The Foreo holds a charge amazingly well. After using it twice a day I still have not had to charge it since that initial charge a month ago. According to their website it should hold a charge for up to 7 months. Amazing!
The second side of the Foreo boasts an anti-aging mode. I have not played with this side much but will update the review when I do.
If you are going to try the Foreo keep in mind you need to avoid using clay-based, silicone-based or grainy cleansers, exfoliators or scrubs, as they may damage the soft silicone bristles.

I recently purchased this and all I can say is wow. I was worried for the price I would kick myself for buying it but you don't need much and it's super effective. It claims to effectively clear blemishes and acne scars, reduce the appearance of redness and prevent future breakouts. I have only been using it for a few nights but have already seen a difference. After putting it on impending blemishes a couple nights and the blemish is gone!
Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment lives up to its promises.

I love that the micro particles are walnut shells and how natural the product is. I need to try and find this in Canada! Sukin Revitalising Facial Scrub (125ml) is amazing all around. Sukin is by far my new favorite brand. -
