Dry, scaly, tight skin? I feel your pain. I have extremely dry skin and it requires a lot of love and attention. Especially in winter. NIVEA comes to the rescue again. Not that it is a surprise to most of us, hey?! NIVEA is awesome.

NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion Review

If you have normal skin, you can stop reading now. I can almost guarantee that you will hate this lotion.

It is heavy and rich.

And that is exactly what my skin needs in winter. It tends to take a bit of time to fully absorb, but I don’t mind. I can feel my skin sighing with relief when I apply it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth, comfortable and nourished for the whole day. The care that this lotion provides, lasts. And that is quite a feat during the cold, dry months.

If your skin needs a little extra care, NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion is for you.

Want to know what makes the gorgeous lotion even better? The price!

250ml goes for R36.99, 400ml for R47.99 and a massive 625ml pump bottle goes for only R69.99.

And now you know ;)

We are not half way through the year yet, but I am convinced that the Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood will be my number 1 budget beauty make-up item of 2015.

Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood

‘Soft nudes and trendy rosé shades – sometimes matt and sometimes shimmering – create a beautiful natural look no matter whether they are used solo or as a team.’

I apologise for using the image from Catrice, but my photos just don’t do the shades justice. Plus I can’t take anymore pics as I have already hit pan on 2 of the shades.

I have been using this palette every day for 2 months. Every single day. The shades are truly gorgeous. The shadows are soft and buttery and look beautiful once applied.

Shades 1 and 2 are pretty decent highlighters. Shade 1 is more matte and shade 2 will give your inner corner some shimmer.

Shades 3 and 4 are stunning. Both are shimmery shades; enough to give you a beautiful look for night, but subtle enough for day. I use both over the whole lid before I add Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze. The combination of these shadows are my go to look for day and night. I have not reached for anything else for months. Sorry for the dust darling MAC and Bobbi.

Shade 5 is the perfect shade to fill my brows. I also use it every day.

The only shade that I don’t use is shade 6. Just because it is not my cup of tea. It still is lovely.

The only downer is the fact that the shadows can be a bit messy when brush hits shadow. Also the brush (but that’s not news). Will these negative points stop me from buying this palette? Hell no.

I adore this palette and I will most definitely be rushing to a Catrice stand soon.

Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood retails for R90.
