I was excited to try this out, the packaging looks amazing and feels luxurious, the pump mechanism is a great way to get just the right amount of product.
The coverage is great, quite full coverage...but!
I am in my mid-forties, combination skin. This foundation ends up being so dry where my skin is dry, it ends up creasing and staying in the creases, giving me the "brown paper bag look". Where my skin is oily, I would say it lasts about 4-5 hours, then it starts sliding off, but staying put in my pores...Needless to say, far from the even toned, airbrushed looking skin. (SIGH).
The photo I am submitting is after 6 hours, where it starts to sink into my pores/lines. I bought mine in shade #2 (light yellow) which considerably oxidizes, so that is something you need to keep in mind. It might work for really oily skin, but not mature skin.

Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher - Dark Mahogany

In short: it works!
Great little trick for when you MUST cover up the roots (white hair included) and you just don't have the time to do your colour (or go get it done).
The colour worked with mine, it looks a little opaque (matte), but it's better than the skunk line we would have...
Because I was afraid to spray it at its maximum pump, it ended up dripping, easy enough to clean up from my neck and floor (as long as it doesn't sit too long, I would assume), but if it was to drip on a face full of makeup, you might end up having to retouch your makeup...
I took before and after pictures, for some reason the ones with flash make it look like it was "glowing", it wasn't. I checked it at work under fluorescent lights and it looked normal. Also, it didn't colour my scalp too much, which was a concern.
Not a bad little trick, the bottle would last a long time, as you wouldn't need to use it every day, and you would literally use it for a part in your hair, not the full head. Please note that I had crazy dirty/gel residue in my hair, because I was going to wash it off if needed.

First of all, as a girl, I personally don't care for the "girly" Nivea scent, nor the greasiness of the cream, it just doesn't work for me. So, when I received this free trial, I was so curious about it because there was no way that it would be as... +
First of all, as a girl, I personally don't care for the "girly" Nivea scent, nor the greasiness of the cream, it just doesn't work for me.
So, when I received this free trial, I was so curious about it because there was no way that it would be as greasy as the ladies stuff....And it's not! It moisturizes without being greasy, it absorbs quickly and it smells SO GOOD! yes, one of those more masculine scents, but a girl can pull it off!
I did also try it on my hubby's face, and it absorbed so quickly and made his skin soft and great smelling!
Thank you for letting me try this!! Girls go get it! Boys go steal it from your girls!

#GotItFree #TryArmAndHammerSlide
The first thing that I loved is how there was no dust when pouring it into the pan!! There is a very subtle scent to it , but what is most amazing is how easy the lean up is!
It clumps immediately and stays clumped! It didn't stick to pan even after I left it for a few days!
Very little stuck the cat's paws when she was "done her business", which made cleaning even better!
Only downfall is the price, It is on the high end.

I received the Lavender scent for free, and even though it smells more like green apples instead of lavender, it is a great smell! It is not a chemical smell, very pleasant. It works when you are home, but I like to take it along to work, as the bathroom facilities are shared, therefore I feel better knowing I have it with me, should I need it.
Super easy to use and it works ok, of course any smells that are airborne won't get trapped, but it is nice to have some piece of mind!

Love the coverage!!
Love the thickness!
Don't love the fact that I still have to set it with finishing poweder...
I bought this to cover up my dark circles and possibly not increase the depth of my wrinkles by caking inside of them (which it does for the first few minutes, keep dabbing them). Once done it felt great, didn't dry up, but the mascara (waterproof) melted because of it. So, I decided to set it (not a fan, as adding dryness makes my wrinkles even more visible), but...
It worked! Because it's so creamy, the finishing powder somehow doesn't cake in, sure the wrinkles are still there, but not as bad as with some other concealer and but I am confident that the dark circles are banished!
It's a little pricey, but you use so little of it that it makes it totally affordable!!
It does oxidize after a half hour or so, so get it a lighter shade!!

I tried this after receiving a free sample.
This smells absolutely fantastic! A very light "coconutty" scent! You are supposed to put it on while wet, then pat dry; basically the opposite we usually do!
It works!
My skin was elastic and nourished for most of the day!
It doesn't work on dry skin, as it;s full of coconut oil and works better on wet/warm skin!
I unfortunately don't take daily showers, so I can't use everyday and the softness doesn't last that long!!
A little different, and a little chilly putting on lotion while still wet, but it goes on very quickly and absorbs! Neat!

NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer for Normal Skin is a nice base for my makeup, does get shiny halfway through the day (I have combination skin).
The send is nice and fresh (quite potent though, for those of you with a sensitive nose or allergies). The texture is super light and fresh, it does tighten the skin slightly and absorbs super quickly. Not as filling as a primer though (I still need to use my primer for my pores).
I don't think I would purchase this product, as I need something more "priming", but I think it would be effective for someone with younger skin.
It came with 3 in 1 Micellar Water, and that I would NOT recommend! It didn't take all my make up off, and it stang my eyes like crazy!!

When i was a child growing up in Italy, Nutella was a staple, even in kindergarten, at the end of the meal, the children would get about an ounce of Nutella with little breadsticks (kinda like the Nutella to GO). Unfortunately, I was allergic to chocolate!!! Forward a couple of decades (or three), and I am no longer allergic!!
I am making up lost time and my love affair with Nutella is thriving! worth the extra calories when you need a treat!!

it does beautiful things!
You have to let it set before putting your foundation on, it's thicker than others (which I like) and definitely works well on pores and fine lines. It kept my make up from disappearing (I have MATURE combination skin) half way through the day, and reduced the shine from my T zone.
It smells just like plumbing silicone when you put it on, but it disappears right away.
