Nivea Pure & Natural Rich Body Moisturiser With Bio Argan & Bio Jojoba Oil Review

Nivea moisturiser with Bio Argan and Jojoba Oil £3.57

So about a year ago I used a Nivea moisturiser when I was in China, and it was the best, most hydrating moisturiser I'd ever tried.  Unfortunately when I left I had to leave it behind since my suitcase was already over its weight limit.  Since then I've been on a mission to find that miracle moisturiser again.  I picked this one up from my local Boots store about a fortnight ago and I cannot believe how much smoother my skin feels.  So much so that I think this could have been it.

New Website Address!

So as some of you may have noticed, I've got a new web address and site name.  I decided it was best to go for a more memorable and beauty reviewing related title.

You can now find me at: www.beautyreviewsandhowtos.com

And you'll still be able to access the site through my old address: primerandtheprincess.blogspot.com

Everything else is staying the same, hope you prefer it!

Nivea Smooth Nourishing Anit-Dryness Hand Cream Review

Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream £1.50

Nivea Smooth Nourishing Anti-Dryness Hand Cream comes in both the usual 100ml and a 30ml travel size.  I got the travel size as I just wanted a small hand cream that wouldn't weigh my bag down.  This hand cream contains Macadamia nut oil which helps to act as a barrier to the skin.  It has a thin to medium consistency and doesn't leave too much of an oily residue behind once the cream has been massaged into hands.

Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper Review

Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper £5.49**

I haven't used any spot treatments since I was about 13, but recently my skin has been all over the place.  I've been breaking out on my chin, and even on my nose which is really unusual for me.  So when I was sent this Spot Zapper I was more than keen to give it a go.  Simple say that it helps to fight spots in just 4 hours and uses natural antibacterial goodness that's still kind enough for sensitive skin.

Beauty UK Posh Polish Nail Polish Review - No 19 Antique Chic

Beauty UK Posh Polish Nail Polish - Antique Chic £3.49

Antique Chic from Beauty Uk is a super sparkly clear polish filled with both holographic hex glitter, as well as small glitter pieces.  All the glitter is silver in colour, but refracts light well, making it appear many different colours once applied.   I was really impressed with how dense the glitter was, I only needed 2 coats to make my nails look packed with glitter.  I applied this on top of Nails Inc's Strawberry Hill, and this polish successfully improved the wear time of my Nails Inc nail polish.  

MUA Get Out There Plumping Lip Gloss Review - Sienna

MUA Lip Gloss - Sienna £2

I'm going to start this review by apologising for the awful photos.  Unfortunately both my laptop and camera have both decided to die at the same time, and I could only afford to buy a laptop this month.  But hopefully I'l be able to get a new one sorted soon and get these awful pictures replaced.

Sienna By MUA is a very orangey coral shade with tiny glitter shimmery particles which are only visible in the tube.  This lip gloss is pretty well pigmented and can be worn alone or over a lipstick.  I think this gloss looks really nice over the top of MAC's Costa Chic, as it helps to even out the finish of the lipstick.  It has a shiny finish, although it isn't as glossy as most other lip glosses.

Nails Inc Nail Polish Review - Strawberry Hill

Nails Inc Nail Polish - Strawberry Hill Swatch £11

Strawberry Hill from Nails Inc is a fruity, rich deep pink that is slightly muted.  This polish has a medium, mildly gloopy consistency and goes fully opaque in just one coat!  I love this polish for when I don't have a lot of time, plus that one coat dries really quickly in under 5 minutes.  Strawberry Hill lasts around 2 days before I get any tip wear but can last up to a week before I experience any major chipping.    

Essie Metallic Collection Nail Polish Review - Blue Rhapsody

Essie Nail Polish - Blue Rhapsody £7.99

Blue Rhapsody from Essie is part of their Metallic nail polish collections.  This shade is a shimmery, light blue/ silver which has a very reflective finish.  The texture of this polish is creamy and thick, and the polish goes opaque in just 2 coats.  Due to it's creamy texture, I find that this polish lasts me up to 3 days before I get any tip wear and up to 5 days till it chips.
