Review : NIVEA Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Plus Eye Cream

hey guys

along time ago i was on a hunt for a good eye cream when i spotted this at my local drugstore 

today i wanna talk about the Nivea Q10 eye cream 

and iam now on blog lovin

Description :

 

This hydrating eye cream supports your skin's natural Q10, for smoother, younger looking skin and minimized dark under-eye circles.

 

What I Think :

this eye cream is light and not greasy at all , provides a light moisture for the eye area , i can't say it's the most moisturizing eye cream there is but it keeps the skin around your eyes soft .

it brightened up my eye area and after a a month of using   i noticed that some of my laugh lines have disappeared ! not too shabby for a cheap eye cream , i actually can't remember how much it cost !

this cream is targeted towards people in their mid twenties to early thirties , it also doesn't sting the eyes .

 

7/10

it's worth trying 

 

would i repurchase ?

not for now because i still wanna try new eye creams

Physicians formula  , i haven't tried anything from pp before but they're differently over priced for a drugstore product

REVIEW : Figs & Rouge 100% Organic Balm Rambling Rose

Figs & Rouge 100% Organic Balm Rambling rose

 

Ingredients

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parki Fruit Butter, Cera Alba, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, *Citral, *Geraniol, *Linalool, *Citronellol, *Limonene (Organically Produced)

* (Naturally occurring component of essential oils)

What i Think

i ordered this balm a while ago from feelunique.com

this is an all purpose organic balm that can be used for lips , face and body .

i mainly bought this to use it as a lip balm but i have also used it on my cuticles   .

i actually only bought it coz of its pretty package design  , but i find the container a little hard to open sometimes .

the product comes in a small tin container that has the prettiest vintage design on it , the balm it self is grainy , you kind of feel these tiny grains when u apply it on your lips , not that it bothered me .

the smell is a little over powering for me , i didn't care for it but it does moisturize the lips and gets rid of dry patches .

it also works great as a cuticle softener .

Pros :

moisturizes lips 

great for cuticles

gets rid or dty patches

100% organic 

Cons :

Annoying smell

the tin container can be a little hard to open  

have you guys tried any balms from figs & rouge ?

New Hair Products Love - Garnier Fructis 3 Oils Therapy

hey guys

Today i wanna share with you 2 hair products that i've been loving lately !

 the Garnier fructis sleek and shine has been my all time favorite leave in conditioner of all time , as i have wavy dry hair and often suffer from fly aways , that until it became alittle  hard to find ! i think maybe they discontinued it ?

First off is the Garnier 3 oils therapy shampoo , i think it's available in the US with a different name ( Triple Nutrition )  .

FORTIFIED FRUIT SCIENCE
3 Nutritive Fruit Weightless Oils:
Olive, Avocado and Shea.

well this shampoo is infused with three therapy oils ( olive oil - avocado and shea ) to instantly nourish the hair .

i love this shampoo , it leaves my hair super shiny , clean , soft and it smells amazing !

next up is the nutri-repair leave in conditioner  which is also infused with the same therapy oils as the shampoo  , this stuff smells great ! 

this product makes my hair smooth and soft and that reduces  frizziness 

it's not greasy at all , no matter how much you apply, my hair feels stronger .

well there you have it 

have you used any of this products before ?

Do you like Garnier ?
