I really love this conditioner! Like the shampoo, it has a really beautiful smell. So subtle, it smells like true coconut water. On my conditioner-only days, I've been finding this to cut down on the frizz. So, it definitely moisturizes the hair. Between this conditioner and Dove's other Nutritive Solution kind (Daily Moisture), I've now got my two go-to conditioners in place. The price is about average for Dove, but they go on sale often, so worth watching and waiting for if your budget is like mine. As you can tell, I totally recommend this conditioner.

I really like this shampoo. It smells so subtle - like real coconut water straight from the fruit. I only need about a nickel-sized amount to lather up all of my hair, which is about shoulder length these days. The price is about average for Dove. The other Dove Nutritive Solutions shampoo - that has actually become my new favorite, is what I'll be sticking with since I find my hair seems to be smoother using their Daily Moisture kind. Of course, if I can't find my usual - I'll be for sure buying this Coconut & Hydration shampoo. I do recommend this Coconut & Hydration shampoo to normal to normal-dry hair types (mine is more of a very dry/constantly frizzy type - so needs the extra oomph).

Sorry to say but Nivea totally missed the mark on these cleansing wipes. The wipes were far too dry plus much too perfumed. I used one and will not use another nor do I recommend to anyone. It goes without saying that I will not buying these in the future.
When I tried to wipe mascara off my eyes, it gave me black streaks all over where I rubbed. My eyes and skin quickly began to sting, so I had to put the cloth down to rinse my face with water. That was enough for me to put the test to an immediate stop.
In the end, I used a quick swipe of my Marcelle perfume-free hypo-allergenic gentle makeup remover and had to cool my eyes, which remained blurry and felt swollen for hours. A frightening experience, to say the least.

NIVEA Creme Care All-in-One Facial Cleansing Lotion

I enjoyed using this cleansing lotion in the shower. That being said, unless the formula changes, I will not be getting this product again for myself. For me, I'd have to only slightly agree with the bottle as it says this is a gentle daily-use face cleanser. I disagree with its claims of being for "all skin types".
With sensitive skin like mine has turned into over the years, it does have to be quickly massaged in then rinsed off with water immediately (best to use in the shower and with a face cloth). It does remove all makeup, so it stands up to its promise in that category.
I tried using it both ways the bottle suggests - first, massaging it in then rinsing with water. That way made me like the product. So, I will keep this on hand as a backup. It feels so nice massaging it into my face and eyes. The creamy feel actually shows as a clear lotion, so there is no foam or suds to worry about. I found using a dime-sized amount is more than enough to cover my entire face and neck region. Using it in the shower and quickly rinsing it off, my whole face feels so clean right from the minute I rinse it off and the feeling lasts for hours. Even after makeup application!
Then, I tried it by massaging it in and removing with a cotton pad. Doing it this way, my face did experience a slight reaction of redness throughout. So, with sensitive faces - avoid using this cleanser with cotton pads. Rinse with water right away.
The high-end gentle makeup cleaner I normally use is by Marcelle Cosmetics. The differences I find with the two are that Marcelle is a non-scented, hypo-allergenic product while this Nivea has a very slight scent of their Nivea Creme formula. They both clean makeup off just as well as the other. Nivea is also a few bucks cheaper than Marcelle. Those are the reasons that I do suggest the Nivea Cleanser to other ladies out there - but sensitive skin types should use with caution (as I mentioned above).
For a regular price of about $8.99 for a 250mL bottle, I will stick with my Marcelle which costs a few extra bucks, but worth it in the end.
Price = 2.5 Stars; Quality = 3 Stars; Effectiveness = 4 Stars.

This deodorant really is gentle enough to put on right out of the shower (and after a fresh shave). It has a really nice fresh scent - smells like the Nivea Creme moisturizer, which makes sense - since the label let me know it is in the ingredients. It is not overpowering or perfume-laden (like so many other sticks out there - my Secret and Dove here at home are so strong I don't even wear them when going to an office). It just has a nice, clean fresh scent that is covered by my clothes.
As promised, it protects from underarm odor for about two days - while doing regular desk job type tasks. Because it performed better than even I expected, my sensitive skin agreed with it and that the regular cost of about $3.99 for a 43g stick fits into my tight budget; I definitely recommend to all and will buy this deodorant again. With the scent being so close to the Nivea Creme moisturizer, I'd even suggest this deodorant could totally be used by all genders.
Price = 5 Stars; Quality = 5 Stars; Effectiveness = 5 Stars

I am happy with this product because it works like how the package tells me it would. For me, it was first tried on my super dry and flaky stomach area. After one use, I noticed a huge improvement. Now, after a few showers and uses, my stomach is no longer flaky! Next, I tried it on my face. Just a dab of the Nivea Creme easily massaged into my skin leaving my entire face smooth looking and soft to the touch.
Before this, I've been using either pure aloe vera on my face - but that always feels so sticky. Sometimes, I'll use one of my nice body lotions - like St. Ives or Jergens - but I find those sometimes don't mix well with my face oils and they tend to make my face look greasy.
The NIVEA Creme promises to be for the whole body and the whole family - and I think it really is and could be used by all ages. There's a slight scent, but not in a perfume sort of way, my skin accepted it completely. I have already bought another (yay Sale season!!) and will definitely purchase this again. I totally recommend it to everyone!
As of today, the regular prices for Nivea Creme range from $7.99 for a 150ml tin to $13.49 for a 400ml tin. Highly worth it, in my opinion.

The concept of the soap in the easy pour bag intrigued me so when this went on a big sale, I bought a 1.18L bag for just a couple bucks. When I got it home disappointment began the minute it came out of the bag. Sticky. Under the easy twist-off cap, there is no seal, so it easily seaps out if there is pressure put on the bag (like - in a grocery bag that is carried home with a couple other bags.)
The smell is really beautiful, so they got that right.
That's where my compliments end. The soap is not soap - but a watery liquid that does not feel like soap, nor does it lather. It just pours straight through the hands- just like water. After "washing" my hands with it, I find my hands feel clammy, which does not happen with any other brand I've ever tried. The nice smell doesn't even linger on the hands - so that's also just a tease.
Thanks for considering my opinion - which, on this product - skip it.

I am really glad to have bought this conditioner. It is smooth, colorless and creamy - which is exactly what my hair prefers. Because I use box dyes to switch up my hair color, my hair is pretty damaged. Using this conditioner actually does what is promised on the bottle and it keeps the color alive an extra few weeks after the box dye conditioner runs out. My hair is nice and smooth out of the shower and I am able to get a brush through it while still wet. The conditioner has that TRESemme scent - nice and soft, but clean smelling at the same time. I like it and will for sure get it again in the future. If you use box dyes, this is the conditioner for you.
A quick side note - I also use this conditioner to shave my legs and it leaves them super smooth for a couple days (normally, I have a "five o'clock shadow" within 24-hours of shaving). Thank you for considering my opinion today!

TRESemmé® Smooth & Silky Touchable Softness Shampoo

I really like how this shampoo has a thick, colorless cream-like feel and look. To me, that means it is going to work perfectly for my perpetually difficult to manage hair. My hair is so damaged from dying it and heating it so much over the years and mostly, because I jut can't afford the expensive stuff that some ladies are lucky enough to fill their showers with - so, I make do with what I can afford.
The moroccan argan oil in the shampoo makes it so easy to brush while still wet! I can go in the shower with tangles and an elastic refusing to untie itself and get out with a totally different head. The smell is nice too, another huge plus. Because the bottle promised this is a light, daily use shampoo - I have been using this kind just about daily for about a month now. My hair is less frizzy and I can actually get a brush through it mid-day (practically unheard of with the Herbal Essence shampoo I tried for about a quarter of a bottle recently). For a small budget friendly, bulk quantity sized hair shampoo, TRESemme Smooth & Silky Touchable Softness is the exact shampoo you should buy if you have an angry head of hair that desperately needs taming. I will be getting this again in the future. Thank you for considering my opinion today!

This is one of my favourite flavours of Sidekicks! It is so creamy and filling. Following the directions on the package makes the perfect meal (or side) anytime. It's super quick to make so it's totally convenient. Plus, I love to kick it up a notch by adding the extra ingredient suggestions on the package. It is fairly budget-friendly when not on sale - but when on sale (which is often) it is a great idea to load up the pantry with this yummy treat! -
