Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection SPF 30 PA++ Review

 Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection - SPF 30 PA++ Review - Entry # 3 by Megha




What Nivea claims about Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection:
Details:

Nivea Sun Protection SPF30 is a daily protection lotion providing immediate protection against the harmful UVA/UVB rays. This lotion is ideal for people who want to go out and enjoy sun.

How to UseApply generously before sun exposure and reapply frequently, especially after swimming and towelling to maintain the original protection. Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using sunscreen.

My verdict on Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection - SPF 30 PA++:Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection - SPF 30 PA++ comes in a blue colored elongated bottle. The bottle has an orange flip cap. Tilt and pressurize a little at the middle of the bottle, the lotion will comes out.
The texture is thin and is a perfect body lotion. It moisturizes my skin very well a makes my skin soft. There is a nice smell initially after I apply. Later on the smell goes off.
Staying power is not 24 hours as the brand says. It is hardly for about 4 hours. Then reapplication is needed. Since I do not reapply, its job as a sun protector goes off.

I do not go out in sun usually. But occasionally when I am touring with my family, I use this sun protecting Nivea lotion. But I have observed my skin getting tanned inspite of using Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection - SPF 30 PA++. This could be because I do not reapply.
The package is not travel friendly. The bottle leaks very badly.



Pros of Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection - SPF 30 PA++:- Thin texture of the lotion
- Moisturizes the skin nicely
- Makes the skin soft
- Has a pleasant smell
- Contains SPF 30 PA++, protecting from sun to some extent.

Cons of Nivea Moisturising Immediate Sun Protection - SPF 30 PA++:- Does not stay long. Stays for about 4 hours.
- Reapplication is needed, else skin gets tanned.
- Bottle leaks, not a travel friendly package.

Nivea Glamarous Gloss Pink Sugar Review

Nivea Glamorous Gloss Pink Sugar Review Entry # 2 Megha



What Nivea claims about Nivea Glamorous Gloss:The innovative formula of Nivea Glamorous Gloss with Ultra Shine Pigments and an exotic scent brings dazzling shine on your lips and provides long lasting moisturisation and care for irresistible, glamorous lips. It also contains SPF – 15 for protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Experience an irresistible shine and nourishing softness.



Price and quantity: Rs.139 for 8.5ml

My verdict about Nivea Glamorous Gloss Pink Sugar:Nivea Glamorous Gloss is a product that is as same as any ordinary lip gloss. Nivea Glamorous Gloss comes in a small sleek pink tube. The tube has a semi transparent white colored twist cap. The applicator has a slant edge to fit on the lips for application.
The gloss has shimmers in it and is super sticky. It is also thick and shiny.
Though it is pink in color in the swatch, on the lips it is colorless. It can be topped on any lipstick without changing the lipstick color. It can also be used alone for shiny glossy lips. It stays for about 3 hours when used alone. I have not used it on any lipstick so far.
I use this very rarely due to its stickiness. Those who hate sticky lip gloss on their lips can give Nivea Glamorous Gloss a miss.


Pros of Nivea Glamorous Gloss:- Clear colored gloss.
- Can be used with any lipstick without changing its color.
- Pretty package.
- Economically price.
- The gloss has tiny shimmers.
- Gives a shiny look to the lips.

Cons of Nivea Glamorous Gloss - Sticky textured gloss.
- Very thick consistency.
- Color lovers will not like this clear colored gloss.

Rating: 2.5/5


Thanks  a lot Megha for this lovely Entry:)

I had same experience with Nivea Gloss :)

Nivea Cream Review

Nivea Cream Review - Entry #1 Megha


What product claims?The unmatched moisturiser for every skin type, for children as well as for adults and during all seasons. NIVEA Creme provides the skin with all it needs to stay pure, fresh and smooth. NIVEA Creme contains skin-related Eucerit a unique moisturising ingredient.
• Skin compatibility dermatological approved.

Price and quantity: Rs.39 for 30ml
Shelf life: 30months.

Ingredients: Aqua , Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil) , Cera Microcristallina , Glycerin, Lanolin Alcohol , Paraffin , Panthenol , Decyl Oleate , Octyldodecanol , Aluminum Stearate, Citric Acid , Magnesium Sulfate , Magnesium Stearate , Parfum ,Limonene , Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal , Linalool , Citronellol , Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol


 
My verdict:Nivea Cream is a good old product that is used as an all purpose cream.
Packed in a bright blue round flat tin, it is available in different size and quantity.
I am showing the least quantity pack here.
The cream is very rich and oily. The consistency is very thick and takes some time to massage and spread on the skin. The moisturizing power is very good and helps the dry skin a lot.
It stays for long making the skin soft. Oily skin people may not like this since it is thick and makes a rich cream. But I love this product and have been using this from ages.
The tin has a pressing lid. This is a little bothersome. If I am in a hurry, when I try opening the lid I always end up poking my fingers in to cream. This makes the product enter my nails which I do not like.
Apart from the packaging style, I cannot think of any drawback of the product.


Pros of Nivea Cream:- Very rich cream.
- Is a very good moisturizer.
- Makes the skin very soft.
- Stays on skin for very long.
- An all purpose cream.
- Very economical in its price.

Cons of Nivea Cream:- Not easy handling Package.
- Not a travel friendly product. The lid of the tin might open up any time.

Rating: 4/5

Thanks for this lovely review Megha :)
Nostalgic !!! when i see this tin...

My experience with Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub:
Package – Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub comes in a standard Himalaya package, a white tube and a green flip cap. The flip caps are usually not strong of the products from Himalaya. I have broken so many caps of Himalaya products just while trying to shut it close.
Texture - Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub has a creamy base. The brand suggests that the product is suitable for oily skin, yet it is made so creamy. There are small granules suspended in this base.  Granules are not very harsh and is made perfect for delicate skin.
Smell – It has a light pleasant smell of neem. It does not irritate.
The scrub on my skin – The creamy scrub helps to massage on the face as long as I wish. Since the granules are soft they do not hurt the skin much. Removes all dirt easily and makes the skin clean and fresh. Perfect product for use when I need that refresh feel after a very tired day.

Pros of Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub:
-          Easy handling package.
-          Very mild granules.
-          Cleans skin from all dirt.
-          Creamy base does not hurt while massaging the skin.
Cons of Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub:
-          Very low quality plastic cap. Breaks while handling the flip cap.
-           Oily skin people may not like the creamy base of the scrub.
Rating: 3.5/5
