Nivea’s new CELLular Anti-Age Serum

Just over a month ago I read about the new Nivea Cellular Anti-Age skincare range. I love all things Nivea, but I have never really found a facial product that caught my attention… until I read Candice-Lee Kannemeyer’s post on this new range HERE. I just love her blog.

Nivea’s new CELLular Anti-Age Serum

 
This specific sentence made my rush to Clicks: “While at the press launch sampling the product, my beauty bestie, (who shall remain nameless) after trying the serum, leaned over and whispered the following in my ear; “this smells and feels exactly like La Prairie”. We looked at each other and said, “we are so using this tonight!” And we did, and have been since.”
 
I am SO glad I did, as I am completely in love with this serum.
 
 
 
Here are the reasons why:
  • The product has the ‘gel-like’ feel of a serum, but absorbs instantly. It doesn’t feel like it ‘sits’ on my skin.
  • My skin feels pampered and calmed immediately after application.
  • My sensitive, eczema-prone skin has only reacted positively to this product.
  • The scent is lovely, but feint. I really don’t like facial products that have a heavy/over-bearing scent.
  • My skin feels moisturised after application… I sometimes forget that I still need to apply my moisturiser.
  • My skin is left feeling soft and smooth.
  • It contains Hyaluronic Acid. BIG plus!
  • It retails for only R180. I think this is a bargain as this is truly a quality product.
  • The packaging is sleek and sophisticated and has a pump dispenser.
  • I have been using it twice daily for a month, and the 40ml isn’t finished yet.

This product will most definitely be on my ‘Best of 2013’ list. I highly recommend it.

Labello Lip Butter

I am in love with the new Labello Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. When Chicara from Lipgloss Kisses compared the scent to ‘a freshly baked white chocolate tart topped with macadamia nut brittle’, I knew I had to try it. It smells and looks like melted white chocolate. Yum.

The texture is thick and buttery and melts into your lips. My lips were especially sensitive yesterday as I was wearing a long wear lipstick that can be a bit drying. The moment I applied the lip butter, my lips felt soothed. I applied it a couple of times yesterday and last thing before going to bed. I woke up with a perfectly soft and smooth pout. I really love this product and recommend that you give it a try.
 
The main reason for this post is the GREAT special at Checkers Hyper at the moment that I have to tell you about. The recommended retail price is R30, but Checkers is selling them for R20 and …wait for it… it’s buy 1 get 1 free till the 6th. Go, go, go!
 
Now I have a great excuse to get more of these super cute tins and try the Original and Rasberry Rosé as well.
