Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser

I wasn’t sure if I should blog about a product that isn’t working for me right now, but because my Gran loves it, I just have to. Introducing the new Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser.

Have you tried the new Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser yet?

Two reasons why you should: I think it’s great (ha-ha!), and so does everyone else, judging by all the empty shelves at Clicks.
 
In short, it is a ‘body lotion’ that you apply in the shower and then rinse off. So, you wash, rinse, apply the product to wet skin and then rinse off. No need to apply lotion or cream after your shower.
 
It comes in two variants: normal and dry skin.
 
This product isn’t suitable for my skin at the moment, but I still think it’s an awesome product and really worth trying. My skin is extremely dry and my eczema has flared up due to seasonal allergies, so the it isn’t moisturising enough for me. I need industrial strength stuff right now. I will purchase it again when the really hot days of summer arrive (and my skin has calmed down), as I feel this product is perfect for those days when you can’t stand the feel of heavy creams on your skin. 
 
One of my best friends hates applying any type of cream to her body, but her skin can also be a bit dry, so she sometimes needs the extra moisture. She LOVES this product and thinks it’s the best thing ever. She says her skin feels soft, smooth and moisturised after her shower. I didn’t want the bottle I bought to go to waste, so I gave it to my gran. She’s no youngster and sometimes feels too tired after a shower to apply body lotion. This body conditioner works like a charm for her as well!
 
Like I said, even though it’s not working for me right now, I will still give it 5 stars as I think it’s a great summer alternative to your usual body moisturiser, it’s great quality and the price is brilliant (R40 for 400ml). I recommend you give it a try.

What is Tightlining?

A dark upper lash line makes your lashes look thick and lush. I don’t know about you, but without eyeliner, I look half asleep. But what do you do if you are not fond of an obvious pencil or liquid line? How do you fill the gaps between sparse lashes without looking ‘made up’? Tightlining may be the perfect technique for you.

Tightlining

 
In a nutshell, tightlining means to fill the lashline with colour; not above or below the lashes, but in between the lashes. This technique defines your lashline and makes your lashes appear fuller and thicker.
 
Look at the result:

I get the best result when I use black gel liner and apply it using a flat liner brush and fill the lashline from below.
