I’m someone who prefers not to use 2-in-1’s because they just aren’t as good. The shampoo part lathered well and cleaned my hair as it should. However the conditioner felt lacking in that my hair didn’t feel soft. Compared to separate conditioners, my hair felt rough as if I never used any conditioner to begin with.
The scent was underwhelming as well. A little goes a long way which is major plus. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend this.

Oh my goodness. In my long years of trying to find that one conditioner that does what it’s supposed to and make ones hair immaculate... this one has risen above all.
I’m always sceptical when a conditioner claims it does wonders for thick dry hair, when it does next to nothing. In this cold Canadian prairie weather, I need all the help I can get.
I normally let my hair air dry and it tends to turn into a frizzy mess until I add a hair oil to tame it. But with this conditioner, my hair looked and felt amazing! I kept going to the mirror to check myself out, that’s how amazed I was! Even my husband kept walking by me to smell my hair and run his fingers through it.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt my hair feel so soft and light weight. I love this conditioner!

NIVEA MicellAIR Water for Dry and Sensitive Skin

I've been using micellar waters from other brands on a regular basis, and I thought I found my holy grail in Garnier, but nope, this one surpasses it by a landslide. After using my usual one, thinking I had a perfectly clean face, I went in with this Nivea one and, what's this? I still had gunk on my face!
The formula doesn't have a scent and there is no discomfort in using it. It really feels like I'm just rubbing some water and my skin and magic happens. I love this stuff!

NIVEA Care Nourishing Cream

I've never been a fan of products that claim they are for both body and face. Usually, one spot has to suffer, whether it be lacking in moisture or too much greasiness. Surprisingly, this cream, it feels like it knows what to do when it settles into different areas of your skin. It wasn't greasy at all and was thick enough to nourish all areas of my skin without having to pile it on. A little product goes a long way! Another plus is how much product you get in one package. Normally these type of containers trick you by thinking you get a lot, but really the walls are thicker and you get a lot less. Not this one. I was super happy when I opened it up and it was full at all angles. Very impressed!
The only con I have is that it smells like a cheap Avon hand lotion my grandma used to get me for my Christmas stockings. But that is such a minor thing.

I rotate between this deodorant and another brands. In the past I didn’t have great experiences with Dove, but this one has really upped their game.
I really hate when deodorants clump, but this one is so smooth! Also, it’s a cooler scent, not an overly fruity one like pouring fruit punch on your armpits. It leaves me feeling just a bit more confident.
The only thing is that it doesn’t last the 48 hours it claims, at least for me, but I mean, that’s hardly the issue when I can go a full day alone.

I'm very impressed with how long this deodorant lasted after one application. I occasionally walk to work (1 hour walk) and with a backpack on, a full days work and waking up the next morning my armpits still smell great.
For myself it did as advertised and reduced the amount of sweat my armpits released. I sweat very easily and this prevented having pit stains on my shirt.
it doesn't have a strong scent so if you like applying your own fragrance/cologne it won't conflict.

I initially tried putting this product on my hair without a loofah and it was not as effective as normal shampoo. With the help of a loofah it lathered up more. My hair didn't feel as soft as the shampoo I'm currently using, but it was clean so at least it did what it was supposed to do.
When I used it as a body wash, I was surprised on how smooth it made my face feel. It has a more mature smell than other brands but it doesn't last for long after leaving the shower.
Overall it's a decent product.

It did its job in terms of cleaning my skin. My skin felt refreshed, but not scrubbed dry and tight. The thing is, I didn't achieve this using the 'exfoliants' in the product. There is such a tiny presence of grits that it hardly warrants the label 'exfoliating'. I was better off using a loofah which achieved the great results I got, but there seems to be absolutely no reason for those granules in there when there isn't enough to do the job on their own.
This product does work though, I would just recommend using something else to scrub your body, like a loofah, as this product on its own felt underwhelming.

Nothing screams "Amazing!" from this product as it feels like an average lotion you could get anywhere. The smell is kind of 'perfumy' which I'm not a huge fan of (it can get sickening after a while). It's a pretty thick lotion so it gets used up really fast and doesn't seem worth it in the long run.
The part that I dislike though is how it makes my skin feel clammy, like an uncomfortable layer of humidity is covering me.
I haven't noticed much difference in the appearance of my skin, as it seems whatever benefits this is supposed to provide, seem to diminish when it completely dries on the skin, which is like in 15-20 minutes.

Note: I received this product free to test.
What I love about this product is, unlike other sunblocks, there are no white streaks! Plus the sent is really nice and it goes on effortlessly. For the past three days, the sun had been out (finally) and the weather warmed up (again, finally), and I spent as much time as I could walking around outside. My skin tends to burn easily, and I don't want it to tan, and this product did an amazing job and keeping me protected.
My two issues with it are:
- It claims to be non-greasy, but with my skin, it was mildly greasy and made my face very shiny.
- I experienced some breakouts, not too many though.
But honestly, those cons are minor in my eyes if it means my skin doesn't get damaged by the sun.
