Nourishing Avocado

It contains Avocado Oil and Lotus extract that helps to moisturize lips long lastingly. It is also enhanced with Hydra IQ moisture technology for deep moisturization.

It comes in a tiny tube about 1.5 cm width and about 9 cm in length including the cap. It is a light blue tube with a translucent cap. I love the colour! The lip balm is the usual white and it applies on pretty smoothly.

So much hydration is what caught my attention. So I decided to give it a try. I feel kinda disappointed thought. I love Nivea products but the Lip series was pretty much a disappointment. I've been using it every once in a while for the whole day today and I found that it's pretty moisturizing but it feels kinda oily.

As for the moisturizing level, it is pretty decent for hydration. I guess I gotta use it for a week to see if it did change the condition of my lips. However I find it not really long lasting. I find myself reapplying it quite often. Not sure if it's because I have a lot of dead skin on my lip or this product is making me peel a little bit more than usual.

It doesn't have a icky after applying on your lips but it still has a little taste to it. For me personally it is still tolerable cause it's not a strong taste to it. I can't really explain how it taste or smell but it is pretty decent. 

PROS

- It is cheap as compared to other brands.

- It comes in a stick which is easy to carry around during travelling.

- It provides a decent amount of hydration.

- Does not have a lotion kind of taste to it.

- It applies on pretty smoothly. 

CONS

- I find it a little bit too oily when applying it for the first time. 

- Moisture dries up too quickly. (Not sure if it's cause my lips were dry or it wares off quickly)

- Made my lips peel a little more than usual.

RATINGS

Hydration - 8.5/10

Application - 9.5/10

Packaging - 9.5/10

Overall - 8/10

Will I buy it again once I've finish using it?

I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. I might be choosing another type but I will still be choosing Nivea just not this particular Lip Series.

Comeback for more updates on other products that I might find along the way.

Nivea Body In-Shower Skin Conditioner. 

I recently picked this up from Watsons due to the latest promotion going on. It's a body lotion that is applied in the shower, a little bit like a conditioner for your body, works the same way as hair conditioner, leaving it on your body for a few minutes then washing it off. 

I usually forget to apply lotion when I get out of the shower during the day because I'm always rushing out to school then during the day my skin gets dry and sometimes it itches. Thanks to Nivea's in shower body lotion, it helps me save much more time and it clearly helps to moisturize my skin without having the need to apply body lotion again. 

After a week of using this in shower skin conditioner, I can obviously feel the difference of my skin through out the day, my skin felt more moisturize and it doesn't itch as much. 

Garnier Aqua Defense.

My second favorite of the month is Garnier's Aqua Defense Moisturizer. As you all know, I have pretty dry skin but after that my skin starts to turn oily. I was recently introduced by a friend to this moisturizer and it did help a lot. 

I usually apply this when I go to bed, applying a thin layer goes a long way. It has a fresh minty scent to it and leaves a tingling sensation on your skin. It's been a while since I started using this product and it's been doing it's hydrating job on my skin. I feel less oily when I wake up in the morning. Thumbs up for this product.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Base Essence.

UV IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SKIN!!! I love love love love loveeeeeee this product the most out of all UV products I have tried in my whole 20 years of living! LOL! So this is a sunscreen from Biore and it is on SPF 50+ PA+++

The reason why I love this product is because of all the sunscreens I have tried, it left my skin sticky and oily throughout the day along with sweat in the hot weather, this product doesn't do that. It is a watery essence and it doesn't feel sticky at all. It's the same as applying water on your face. Massive love for this product. (Reviews will be up in the next blog post)

H&M Smoky Eyes hadow and Face Shop Catch My Eyeliner.

H&M Smoky Eye shadow palette have 5 different shades in a palette which a friend of my got me from the States as it is not available here. The last color comes in a shade of dark brown which could be use for daily outings to school, hanging out with friends or whatever you wanna do. It made it's way into my March Favorites because it is easy to carry around in your bag, you can turn from day out with friends with a simple color, to party night with smoky makeup with the other shades available.

Eyeliner from Face Shop also made it into my March favorites as it has a sponge at one end and the other end where your eyeliner is. You can use the sponge to smudge your liner if you're going for a softer look instead of a thick liner. It stays on for a long period of time too despite the weather I'm staying at. (Likes!)

These are the few of my findings this month and I fell in love with those products after a few times using it. If you want me to review the products that are mentioned above, just drop me a comment and I'll be sure to post it up~~ Stay tune for more post and come back at the end of April to check out my favorites next month~
