That blue tub has been around for like forever! Since i have an oily skin, i never imagined that there would be a time where i would buy this for myself...But i did!
Ok,what prompted me to buy this one?
There was a time that i was searching for a good make up remover... Of course, the usual product like Bi-Facil, Effacil, Neutrogena Make up remover, blah blah... Then i clicked on one site (i just cant remember what it is, but its a bit like MUA) & someone said that she just used the good ol' Nivea Creme to remove her eye makeup.
So that piqued my curiosity... It never occurred to me that a moisturizer can be used as a Makeup Remover (im that dense!) & because of that i just have to do a little research about what other people think...
Most reviews that i keep on reading where from people who saw the effect of this product on the long run. Like, it was their mom who used it (& is still using it) & the effect is that it their moms doesn't even have any wrinkles. So im like 'wow! its really that good,huh?'...then i read this post, & i was convinced that i had to try it for myself!
Hmmm.....it's so good,it can heal sores,huh?
Then when i went to Watson's one time i saw the cute little tin that got hearts on it (click here for details) so i brought it.
What i did at first was i slathered it on my lips (im serious!) because im having pretty dry lips during those times... I did not even care about how i look, but i was desperate! After an hour or so (i was pretty busy blogging that time), i glanced at my mirror & saw that the product was absorbed by my lips. I wiped the remaining product off & was actually surprised to find out that my lips were really pretty moisturized. WOW! it even gave my lips that healthy pink kissable lips!
So i put it back on before i went to bed & i woke up with a very moisturized lips. I just exfoliated it to show my naturally pink lips & im good to go..no need for lipstick! For the first time, i felt that i got that baby lips that i lost 23 years ago...lol!
Then i went to buy the big tub, to be used on the rest of my body...especially my feet. Our feet needs TLC the most! Used it & was really very happy with it that i promised i will never ever look at Nivea like how i did before...
Just like any other moisturizers, this one is white. Its actually heavy & thick...
Once you spread it it will leave that oily film on your skin where i guess it acts as lock to keep moisture in. During the time that i used it, i generously slathered it on ( i guess that's why i have instant results), after a few minutes it will be absorbed leaving you with a soft skin.As for it being a makeup remover...it also works great. It was able to remove my CG Lash Blast Waterproof like how Bi-Facil works...As what i said before, i thought that only Muriatic Acid can remove that mascara easily...but im surprised that Nivea was able to do that. Though it have that oily residue but for me i just think of it as an 'eye area mositurizer'.
Remember the time when i went on vacation...We went to the beach so i naturally have dry skin. It was so dry that i can feel that 'stretchy' feeling on my back. Its like my skin is being stretched because it doesn't have any moisture on it. What i did at first was asked my grandma to put the Ralph Lauren Rocks Body Moisturizer, since i dont have any lotions at that time. After a couple of minutes, i felt that 'stretchy' feeling on my back again...that what i did was asked my grandma to spritz water first before putting the Body Moisturizer...It did work for a couple of minutes, but it went back...
I got so tired (& my grandma too!) from all that, that i asked my grandma to just use Nivea...& after that i never asked my grandma to do it again...So, this one acts as my overall Body Moisturizer... I really love this one!
It has even been compared to La Mer because of how it looks... I haven't tried La Mer (& i think i never would be able to since its so freakin expensive XD) though everyone who used it says that it is a Miracle Moisturizer. Nivea on the other hand with it being cheap but effective has been loved by many people. It might not be a miracle moisturizer, but for me, with the price i pay, i will consider this as MY miracle moisturizer.
