Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Pan Review Part 1

Hello Beauties 

I hope you are all well :) 

Ok I think I am finally able to admit I am Hooked on these Makeup Geeks Eyeshadows :) :) 

I am sure you remember not too long ago I reviewed The Starter Kit by Makeup Geek which contains 9 eyeshadows and to be honest I really couldnt stop there :)  Straight after typing up my post I jumped back onto the Makeup Geek site and ordered 6 more and also 3 of the foiled eyeshadows (which I will review very very soon ) 

I just couldnt resist and to be honest If I could I would have ordered every last eyeshadow on the site but I know the customs would have a field day with me :)  Plus I prefer building up my collection slowly so that it gives me time to play with each eyeshadow at a time :) 

Let me warn you before you continue reading and been interested you will need some UNII Palettes or Z-Palettes if you plan on buying these eyeshadows as they come to you in the post like the above photo :)  So if you want to mind these eyeshadows make sure to either buy the palette on the makeup geek site or have one ready for when you beautiful eyeshadows do arrive :) :) 

I have had to go and order some empty palettes and ventured a little further afield I am waiting for the palettes to arrive to see will these eyeshadows fit and if they do I will be reviewing them as they are super affordable :) So fingers crosses Anyways I am rambling sorry :) 

Back to the review :) 

As mentioned before in my last review there are 68 different shades of eyeshadow pans to choose from.  You are going to have a hard time choosing believe me :)  Each eyeshadow costs $5.99 which is only €5.50 :)  Absolutely amazing value for such amazing quality eyeshadows :) 

I have started up my next UNII Palette with more eyeshadows but I am hoping with my ordered palette I can place all my makeup geek shadows together I am not liking them been separated :) :) 

So the eyeshadows I chose are the following :) 

Vanilla Bean:  This eyeshadow is a light peachy champagne shade.  There is a slight shimmer to it.  Its the perfect all over lid shade.  Its also perfect for a more subtle brow bone shade :) :) 

On my skin you can barely notice the shade as its more of a skin tone shade but on the eyes it really works to block out any discolouration on my lids and really helps to open up my tired looking eyes :)  I love how soft and easy this eyeshadow is to use 

Next up is :) 

Peach Smoothie:  Let me just state now I am absolutely loving this shade so so much lately.  Its a stunning matte warm peachy shade.   This is the most perfect transition colour for anyone with fair to light - medium skin :)  Its ther perfect transition colour to warm up any look :)  I just love it so much :)  I highly recommend this shade to you all honestly you kits is not complete without this shade :) 

Next up 

Beaches & Cream:  Another beautiful transition shade for ones who are very fair this is a lovely matte light natural beige with a hint of peach :)  I sometimes use this and Peach Smoothie mixed together for a transition shade :)  Other times if I want a natural shade on my lids I apply this all over the lid.  Its a lovely soft manageable shade :) 

Next up is :) 

Burlesque:  I remember the first time I seen this shade I knew I needed it in my life oh my goodness am I not glad I got it now :)  Wow amazing shade talk about pigmentation :O

A Warm Metallic Muted Burgandy (as described on the site)  This shade is to die for honest girlies you have to have this shade in your collection especially is you have green or hazel eyes wow your eyes will be poppin 

Honest the photos or even the swatches are not giving it justice :) Take a look 

Next up is 

Bitten:  If you are a makeup geek fan you will know that this shade in particular is one of the most popular shades on the site :)   This shade is amazing and again will look stunning on people with either green or hazel eye :)  It will suit everyone of course but green and hazel eyed people with surely see their eyes stand out when wearing this :)  How incredibly pigmented and soft this matte shade is.  I am in love 

 Lastly 

Bada Bing:  I do not why I chose this shade to be honest as I really wanted to try alot more and this shade wasnt the first on my list to try but something told me to pick it so I did.  Now that I did I am glad :)  I havent actually seen anyones reviews on this shade so I think its one of the less chosen by many :)  This is a very deep brown with golden reflex.  The pigmentation is amazing and the shadow itself is stunning :)  A perfect outer corner shade or can even be use in the outer V and crease as the golden reflexes can be blended away 

Absolutely amazing Right??  Take a look at all the shade swatches beside each other :) 

Creamy, Buttery, high-quality low priced eyeshadows really what more do we want in our lives :)  This shadows are amazing long lasting apply and blend like a dream.  I am literally hooked and will most definitely purchase every last eyeshadow makeup geek has to offer :) :) 
Here is a look I created with these eyeshadows 

First of all I used 
Peach smoothie in the crease and above 
Then applied Burlesque on the lid all over leave the first 1/3 free of colour for now :) 
I then went in with Bitten into the crease starting from the outer corner to half way in
I then applied Bada Bing to the outer corner of my lid and into the crease for a smokey look :) 
In the inner 1/3 I packed on a mixture of Shimma Shimma and Vanilla bean blending in towards the middle :) 
I also used Vanilla Bean under the brow a little :) 
I wanted to deepen the outer V just a little more so I added a tiny amount of Corrupt to the outer v and blended inwards :)  
I love how these shades bring out the green in my eyes :) 
I really do love these eyeshadow but one thing I hate is the custom charges that come with it.  So my advice to you is if you are very interested in these eyeshadows and know that you will use them alot order in bulks as the custom charges will not be so expensive (custom charges will probably depend on where you are in the world but for Ireland its €20 )  in your eyes :)  otherwise if you order about ten eyeshadows you will be charged the same amount in customs as you would if you ordered 20 eyeshadows :)  I have emailed them with a solution I really am hoping they take my suggestion into account that might stop custom charges so fingers crossed and If I hear anything I will surely update you on it :) :) 

I hope you enjoyed this review 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nia Natural Skincare Calendula & Orange Blossom Facial Cleansing Balm Review

Hello Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

I am going all Irish on you this time on this post reason for that is for the first time I have finally got a chance to try a product from a brand called Nia which of course is based in Ireland :)  I love trying out lots of different brands as you know but most of all brands in Ireland.  

Nia's products are hand-made in Limerick, Ireland. Nia uses Irish ingredients in all our products, importing only Amazonian butters, essential oils and supplies not available on the beautiful Emerald Isle.
They  specialize in beauty balms that are formulated with the feel of a luxurious cream, but without the addition of water, which would require the need for added emulsifiers preservatives or additional stabilizers. This results in a sweet-smelling, multi-tasking beauty balm that is 100% natural.
 Nia produces high-end, luxury products made of pure and natural ingredients.
My skin lately has been playing up not with acne but one day it can be perfect and another day it can feel very dry and very tight especially after cleansing :) 
I have also noticed my skin is sensitive the past few months and I mean sensitive by feeling a sting on my face if I use an exfoliater on my face or if I use face wipes (yes I know I shouldnt but we all do it at some stage for quick and easy way :)  
So when I seen Nia brought out a new cleansing balm I just had to try it out :) 

The Calendula & Orange Blossom Facial Cleansing Balm comes in a lovely little box with different descriptions written all over it :)  I actually really like the box and make sure not to throw it out as you will need it for storage :) :) 

Inside the box you will get :) 

3 100% natural bio-degradable recyclable cleansing clothes 

a wooden spatula 

& of course the cleansing balm itself in a tin container :) 

You get 100mls of product for only €19.95 

This product is also free from:  Parabens, Steroids, Fragrance, Water, Additives, Silicones, Parabens, Mineral Oil, Beeswax, Petroleum, Emulsifiers, Synthetic Fragrance.

Nia States:  Gentle yet effective 2 step wash off facial cleansing balm suitable for daily cleansing and heavy make-up removal on even sensitive skin. Use daily to leave skin clean, soft and radiant.

When I opened and instantly got a whiff of Orange up my nose :)  Its not a strong smell of orange but there is another scent in there I cant quite put my nose to :)  Overall the scent is amazing and so so natural :)  

This tin is full to the very top and you can see there is little specks that looks like orange peel in the balm but its not orange peel its more like lumps of balm like Vaseline :) 

The balm feels so smooth and soft and has a moose like texture It also has a feel of Vaseline even though there is no petroleum in the ingredients :)  

Using the spatula I scraped up a little of the balm just enough to apply on my face and placed it on my hand :)  as I left it on my hand I noticed the balm started to melt, something like ice-cream in a bowl :)  the longer I left it the more it melted into a creamy consistency :)  Which was so easy to then spread on my skin :) 

Take a look :) 

I am in love with this balm honestly no word can describe how different my skin feels after using this balm.  First of all I take the most of my makeup off and then go straight in with dampening my face a little, scooping some of the balm and warming it up with my fingers before applying to my face.  I massage into my face for at least 5 minutes.  The balm feels oily against my skin.  Do not worry the oils that are in this balm are all 100% organic and natural.  Knowing that all of these natural oils are working into my skin make me feel brilliant and while I enjoy the lovely aroma I can also feel my skin softening and feeling more clean.  When its time to take the balm off I rinse the Cloth provided in warm to hot water squeezing it dry and then wipe my face clean.  Instantly seeing what ever dirty and grime was left on my face on the cloth.  I rinse the cloth about 3 times and wipe softly.  Patting dry my face I feel so fresh , clean and my skin feels moisturised.  I do not even feel the need to moisturise straight away after washing :)  I do this routine every day and night :)  My skin feels so much better since using this balm 

I feel less dry, especially under my eyes which is one of the places I noticed was extra dry especially when wearing makeup :(  I feel less tight and more free :)  

I have also tried this balm with a full face of makeup on and found it more effective by not dampening my face first and applying straight to my face.  Massaging in the balm for at least 5 minutes before rinsing off using my cloth.  It works brilliantly apart from removing waterproof mascara.  

Keeping the cloth's is very easy once you do not throw them into the washing machine.  They are too light to be machine washed.  Simply hand wash and dry on the radiator and they are as good as new :) 

I have to say I give this the full thumbs up and will be repurchasing :)  This Cleansing balm is not only great for people who have dry and sensitive skin its also suitable for all skin types :)  

I really hope you enjoyed this review :) 

Until next time and there will be soon a next time as I plan to purchase another product from Nia for my family to test as 3 of us all have different skin conditions so keep your eyes peeled for that one :) :)  

Until Next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows Review :)

Hello Beauties Yes its that time again :) 

A Make Geek Review :) 

Ok I am just going to break it to you now you are going to see alot more of these reviews as I can safely say I am hooked on Makeup Geek products :)  I am sure all you Beauty Crazed People out there is not going to mind right?  :) 

Well today I bring to you my review on the Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows which I have been dying to try :)  Now that I got a taste of them I want them all :) :) 

There are 10 foiled eyeshadows shades to choose from :)  and each one of the cost $9.99/€9.30/£6.75 :) 

This is what Makeup Geek has to say about their Foiled Eyeshadows: 

 This cutting-edge formula offers a creamy texture that is a hybrid between a powder shadow and a cream shadow that is on a level of its own. 

The intense pigmentation combined with an opaque, metallic finish make these shadows a dream to work with. These can be applied effortlessly in just one swipe with no primer required! Our lineup includes a diverse array of rich colors and a smooth silky formula that we believe help elevate pressed eye shadows to the next level of exceptional quality. 

The Packaging of the foiled eyeshadows are a little different to the original eyeshadows by Makeup Geek :)  In fact if I was to say I prefare the packaging of these than the original :)  Look at that beautiful rose gold against the black isnt it stunning :)  Anyways this is how you will receive your eyeshadows when you get them so bear in mind that you will need either a UNII or Z-Palette to store them as its not really safe enough to store them in this packaging without the fear of damaging them :) 
Now lets start with these amazing eyeshadows shall we :) 

Let me just say that this shade is one shade I have fallen deeply and madly in love with :)  Honestly This shade is perfect for any eye colour and really makes blue and green eyes pop especially :)  
Grandstand:  Is a Medium Rose-gold with a slight taupe undertone :) :)  This eyeshadow is amazingly pigmented and a little goes a long way :) It feels amazing creamy yet I have noticed that there is a little fallout with this so be careful dipping that brush because you can dip a little too hard and get way too much on the brush :) 

Next up is :) 

Another amazingly beautiful eye-shadow :) I mean it another stunning amazingly pigmented breath taking eye-shadow :) 
Mesmerized:  A Deep Medium Taupe with strong purple under tones :)  Like Grandstand this shadow is so so creamy and soft a little goes a long long way.  Its not as powdery as grandstand but there will be a little fall out :)  I am in love with this shade also and love wearing it with Grand stand they work so well together :) 

Last but not least 

I will allow you to soak up this beauty :) :)  Its stunning right :) :)  Well this is surely one eyeshadow fit for everyone but anyone with green/hazel eyes this is going to make your eyes pop honestly amazing :) 
Showtime:  A Rusty Brown with Warm Undertones..... As described on the website ....... This is more than what is described though its a rich cranberry shade with stunning red and gold shimmers :) :)  This is so creamy so soft and you will experience no fall out whatsoever :) :) 

Here is all the shades together :) 

I am overwhelmed with the pigmentation of these eyeshadows.  I love how easy they are to work with.  They blend like a dream and apply so so well to the lids even without using a primer they dont need any base to stick to the lids.  The lasting power is incredible, they last all day all even and all night :) 
Swatching these for the first time I thought "No way they couldnt be this pigmented really?"  The above pictures are literally one swatch no layering no primer :) :)  Then when I applied them to my eyes I was even more in shock :)  I am 100% going back to get the remaining 7 foiled eyeshadows for my collection without a doubt !!!!! I am so annoyed with myself for not getting the package deal which is all 10 for the total of $89.00 which you are saving $10 buying all 10 together :) 
I am really hoping Makeup Geek creates more of these because I know they will be a real hit honestly you can not get an eyeshadow better than this even from high end brand no way :)  Honestly you try one you are not going to be able to resist getting more 10/10 from me :) :) 

Here is a look I created 

I used "Grandstand" on the first half of the lid. 
I then applied "Mesmerised" on the other half of the lid 
I used "Creme Brulee" in the crease and above 
I used "Peach Smoothie" to deepen the transition shade (I have not yet reviewed this shade but will soon) 
I used " Bitten"  in the crease which really worked well with these shades :)  (I have not yet reviewed this shade yet either) 
I used "Corrupt" (From Makeup Geeks Starter kit) in the outer V and blended into the crease :) 
I used "Beaches & Cream" on the brow bone ( this shade I also have to review)  
I used "Grand Stand" on the first half of the bottom lash line.  "Mesmerised" on the other half of the bottom lash line and a little of "Corrupt" on the outer corner of the bottom lashline blending inwards :) 

So have you got your eyes on these yet :)  
Until next time (And there will be a next time for the foiled eyeshadows especially ;) 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Blank Canvas Cosmetics F05 Fan Brush Review

Hello Beauties I hope you are all well 

Ah it feels great to be back blogging :)  I have had such a crazy week with family issues and most of all very sick little kiddies in the house Its been CRAAAZZZZYYYY :) Thank fully all has calmed down and everyone is back on the mend :) 
I think I have fallen in love with a very unusual brush in which I have always really ignored and never used properly.  To be honest when I first started wearing make up I never new what a fan brush was for.  I am sure alot of you out there are in the same boat and to be honest you have found yourself saying it wouldn't be the first brush you would buy or reach for am I right?  
I know as I have also bee there.  That was until I started watching YouTube video and seen a few famous beauty gurus using a fan brush to wipe away fall out etc.  So I decided to get this brush and play around with it I want to see just how great of a job this beauty can do and to be honest found myself reaching for it alot.  That was about a year ago and I still can not believe I have not blogged about it yet :) 
So today's the day I am going to finally tell you all you need to know about this beautiful creation :) 

The F05 is made of synthetic and natural fibres and feel weightless both in the hand and on the face.  
This brush is a very multi-purpose brush and I use it for literally every thing :)  It may look like it cant do much simply because it has very few fibres compared to the rest of the face brushes from Blank Canvas but believe me looks can be deceiving :)  If you are one who uses a heavy hand when it comes to powders, bronzers, blush and highlighter you are going to want one of these brushes believe me :) 

If you are one who does over use powders this brush is your answer believe me I have been there with over using and ending up looking like a clown or looking too bronzed or even making my make up look too cakey after applying powder and its so annoying :) 
This brush stops all of that happening and let you gain more control with how much product you apply to your face :) 

So let me tell you the ways in which this brush can save your life or should I say save your makeup on your face 

1. Wiping away mistakes :)  Yes we have all experienced it :)  Applying foundation first then doing your eye makeup only to realise the eyeshadow you used has created fall out all over your face :)  Well this brush can simply change that as its so light a simply swipe under the eyes can get rid of that fall out without leaving dark streaks :) 
2. Apply finishing powder or translucent powder :)  This brush is really handy for that especially when you only want to use a little amount.  The brush will only pick up the smallest amount leaving you with complete control of how much you put on your face and you end up with a flawless finish instead of a cakey look to your face 
3. Seal the deal !!! when you are getting on in years and noticing a few of those horrible fine lines that appear mostly under and around the eye area you like to use a concealer that is a liquid form and more moisturising under the eye but sometimes it can look too dewy and needs just the tiniest bit of powder to seal it in without looking too cakey and drying.  After all if your under eye is too dry it will look like you have more lines that you originally have.  This brush helps you seal that concealer without over doing it leave you flawless under those beautiful eyes :) 
4. Creating a natural looking contour look:  We all love to contour i love to contour every time I do my makeup but some days I just want to create shadow like line under my cheek bones :)  This brush allows that to happen :)  you can build the colour up to whatever intensity you desire and if you prefer the more heavier look there is always the F30 is the brush for you but for a shadowed contoured look this brush is the key and as contouring down the nose but cant find the perfect sized brush in your kit for that well look no further as this beautiful brush is the perfect size 
5. Creating a natural flush:  This brush is going to help you achieve this :)  if you just want a sheer and natural flush of colour on your cheeks simply dip this brush into your favourite blush or even a blush that is very pigmented and you have been afraid to use in fear of making yourself look like a clown and swipe along you cheeks you will love the finish :) 
6. Become the highlighting queen:  Over doing it with the highlight ?  This brush is perfect for you a simply swipe across the cheek bone with this brush leave the perfect subtle highlight cheek bone you ever saw How?  Well you will never ever pick up too much product with this product with this brush so you can build the highlight instead of over doing it :)  It also fits perfectly down the bridge of your nose :)  down forget to brush along your cupids bow and also under the brows.  :) 

When using a Fan brush think of it as using it for a more air brushed finish because its so light and feather like you can automatically achieve that air brush finish simply by using this brush and never ever have to worry about over doing it with any of the above products :)  
This is why I am so in love with this brush :) :) 

As some of you may worry about washing such a delicate brush I can safely say that blank canvas has sorted that one out :)  I have washed this brush like I do with all of my other brush and never once has it shed :)  I deep clean it and spot clean it and it always goes back to its normal shape :)  Plus it dries super quick :) 

To be honest this brush should be in everyones collection because I can guarantee you will need it :) :)  Even to this day I need it for all of the above uses :) 

I really hope you enjoyed this review :)  Have you ever tried using a fan brush before ?  What do you think of it:)  
You can get this brush for only €10.99 on the Blank Canvas Website and its worth every cent :)  I have this almost a year and it still looks as good as new :)  

So what do you think?  Would you give it a go?
Let me know if you do and what you think of it? 
 If you are thinking of purchasing from Blank Canvas Enter "NINA" "at the end for a little discount for all my lovely readers

Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nivea Q10 Plus Range :)

Hello Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Just to warn you before you start reading ...... Go grab yourself a cuppa because this might be a long but informative read :)  Especially if you like Nivea and also interested in their new range :)  ;)  I promise it wont be long winded :) 

As you may know Nivea products has always been a long time favourite of mine and no matter what other skincare ranges I try and finish I always seem to go back to my all time favourite :)  I have been using Nivea for as long as I can remember and never once have I been disappointed :)  

I was even more excited to try this new range out because as much as I hate to admit it my skin is not getting any younger and to be honest I want to keep my skin looking young for as long as I can (Dont we all )  

This skincare range is not only for anyone over the age of 30, 40 etc this is for anyone who wants to prevent wrinkles forming and all of that stuff :) :)  In my opinion you are never too young to start taking really good care of your skin and to aim to fight those lines that lately turn into deep wrinkles :) 

I do have to admit it myself I have fines lines now (or as I call them laughing lines) and I will be dammed if I am going to get more anytime soon lol :)  or so I hope :) 

Of course preventing anymore lines does include a healthy lifestyle aswell as skincare.  So i have become better in making sure my healthy is improved simply by what I take into my body and of course at least having a half hour walk a day etc but taking care of my skin is another thing I have been more cautious about :)  

No obviously there is no way of ridding wrinkles and fine lines without going the surgical way but Nivea have done their research and created a range in which Evens out lines and smooths out wrinkles so that they look less visible.  

So How is Coenzyme Q10 going to help us?

Well Q10 is a natural Coenzyme present in all cells of the body.  As the outermost layer, the skin has a constant need for Q10 to work as an antioxident to battle against everyday harms that causes our skin to age aka Sun rays, toxins in the air etc.  As we get older the natural Q10 that is in our skin begins to lessen leaving that natural defence to lessen which causes every day harms to take effect on our skin.  This is why its so important for us to replace the loss of Q10 to keep that strong defence up :)  

This is why I am super excited about this range and have been loving using these products so much lately :) :)  So without further ado let be begin with one of the most interesting products of this bunch :)  The most effective one should I say :) 

NIVEA Q10 PLUS ANTI-WRINKLE SERUM PEARLS  :) 

Why this is more effective?  

NIVEA Q10plus Anti-wrinkle Serum Pearls deliver you the highest dosage of skin’s own coenzyme Q10 within the Q10plus Anti-wrinkle range. Its highly powerful formula enriched with Hyaluronic Acid proves its pure anti-wrinkle efficacy by not only reducing the appearance of wrinkles visibly but also helping to decelerate the formation of new ones. With regular use, they soften skin surface noticeably and reignite its smooth and younger looking complexion.

The beautiful golden pearls are infused in an intensely moisturising hydro gel which also contains Q10 
Another ingredient in this Serum is Hyaluronic Acid which is said to be an outstanding anti-wrinkle powder because it acts as a filler, plumper and smooths out the appearance of deep lines :) 

I found this at first very unusual and didnt really read the instructions :)   I really like the idea of applying a serum to my face but found serums to be a little OTT price wise until I got this :)  This will only set you back €14.99 for 40mls which is an amazing price for for the amount you are getting.  You only need the smallest amount to do your entire face :)  

Finally I own a serum which is going to be super effective to my skin and not cost me an arm and a leg.  :) 
This serum comes with a pump which dispenses just the right amount of product to apply to the face.  Now when I first pumped this little beauty I got a shock to be honest as I was expecting just this simple cream with a mixture of the golden pearls.  What I did get was a blog of yellow creamy substance :) 
To be honest it sort of reminded me of scambled eggs (lol I know im crazy)  and when blending it out on my hand it looked like that even more :)  look for yourself 

Let me reassure you that once this is rubbed into the skin it de solves and leaves you with the most amazing glowing skin :)  You are best applying this to fresh cleansed face to get the real benefits from this amazing stuff.   Once applied the serum soaks right into your skin straight away :)  

I apply this before applying my makeup everyday and of course every night after washing my face and before my moisturiser.  I love how refreshing my skin looks and feels and this has definately become a favourite of mine.  I love how it doesnt leave my skin looking oily and through out the day I do not notice any oilys coming through my makeup :)  Its a big thumbs up for me for sure :)  I have large pores and usually I notice my large pores through out the day but when having this serum on my face I dont notice it anymore :)  As for proving it evens works on wrinkles well I cant really prove that as im lucky I have none yet but I have notices that some of my fine lines are less visible which is a good start :)  I can safely say the more I use this the more I will see the difference :) 

Next up is Moisturisers :)  

NIVEA Q10 ENERGISING DAY CREAM  

Tired skin is a down fall I have always had.  My skin is lifeless without anything on it to be honest.  I havent got natural flushed cheeks and I have no natural glow :(  I envy people who do have that natural glowing flushed look as they can get away with wearing no makeup.  Of course been a mum of 5 and a blogger and running errands all the time can takes it toll on my skin but I do like to have my makeup free days and have that refreshed looking skin walking out the door too :)  Any mum out there can vouch for me here when I say there are days we just looking in the mirror and basically see this tired older looking faces that look like the life has bee sucked out of their faces just for been tired and we feel like we need to put a bag over our faces before walking out the door.  Well not anymore I may be a full time mum but I will me dammed if I am going to look 20 years older than I am !!!!! Dam Straight!!!!! 
So this is why I decided to opt for this moisturiser. 
Nivea states:  

Nivea Q10  plus Anti-Wrinkle Energising Day Cream visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and awakens your skin for a fresh and radiant look.  The moisturizing formula with natural Goji Berry – a fruit rich of vitamins – reactivates skin‘s power to recover from fatigue and stress. Besides, the formula contains skin‘s own Coenzyme Q10 and visibly reduces lines and signs of ageing.

Awww I just love how Nivea always has a protective cover over their creams to keep the creams in perfect condition.  You get this pot which contains 40mls of product for only €11.80 and This pot is full to the top :) :) 

The cream is very light weight and very easy to spread out on the face.  After I wash my face I find applying this after the serum very very refreshing :)  Not only that this cream instantly soaks into my skin leaving me with very soft and youthful looking skin.  My face feels like babys skin after you apply lotion to their skin.  Lately I have bee suffering with very dry skin around my nose area which affects me alot especially when wearing foundation as it makes my foundation look cakey around my nose and tends to build up.  Since starting to use this cream its not dry anymore :) :)  My skin feels moisturised all day long.  i have also got my no makeup days and am able to walk out the door with fresh glowing looking not so tired looking skin :)  Now all im missing is the natural flush on my cheeks which unfortunately no cream can fix lol :)  The scent of this moisturiser is amazing and basically your typical Nivea scent in which my kiddies adore smelling off my face :)  My twins are forever kissing my cheeks and giving them an odd sniff with a sigh :)  Which of course make me smile every time :)  Another thumbs up for me :) :)  I can finally see a refreshed younger looking complection staring back at me when I look in the mirror :)  ( & thats without surgery or makeup)  Ok it doesnt work that much of a miracle and doesnt make a huge difference to my skin but it surely doesnt make my skin look fresh moisturised alive and not dull and thats all we need to look good ;) 

Nivea Q10 anti-wrinkle Q10 Plus night cream 

Now of course we need to keep our skin moisturised at night because to be realistic our skin goes through alot through out the day and when we can finally take our makeup off go for our shower and just into our pj our skin needs moisture through out the night.  Especially if you suffer with dry or sensitive skin.  

Nivea state:  

Nivea Q10 plus anti-wrinkle Night Cream is part of our proven Anti-Wrinkle Care System. At night, skin is most receptive to moisture intake and the intensely moisturising night cream:

1. Supports your natural Q10 level at night, fights the appearance of wrinkles and visibly smoothes your skin.

2. Replenishes skin at night and supports its ability to regenerate.

What Nivea didnt mention is that Creatine which is one of the main ingredients in this night cream also helps to tighten our skin through out the night and helps us fight against ageing :)  The Fact that Creatine is also proven to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is perfectly ok to me :) :)  

Like the day cream this is also 40mls of product full to the top for only €11.80 :)  The thing is with this cream you are going to use even less because the consistency of this cream is thicker than the day cream.  

The scent of course is exactly the same as the day cream just heavenly :) :)  I feel that this cream is very cooling when first applied to the face which is exactly what we need at night :)  Even though this cream is thicker than the day cream it doesnt feel it once applied and only takes a few seconds to completely soak into the skin.  I was a little worried about that because most night creams I have tried didnt soak in as quick and left me with a damp feeling on my skin even hours after applying to my skin but this cream soaked right in.  I was mistaken in worrying because once the cream is soaked in your skin feels super moisturised and even when you wake in the morning you feel like you have just applied the cream which is amazing :)  In the morning my skin feels smooth soft and so refreshed.  

As for anti-wrinkles well I am sure by the time I finish the pot I will see a little difference but to be honest I dont care about that part all I care is that all this range is doing for my skin is preventing newer lines appearing on my face and helping me look more bright eyed and bushy tailed :)  With both these creams and the serum working together I have every confidence that they are doing their job for my skin and helping me avoid getting more fine lines and keeping those wrinkles away for another while.  What I am super please with is that since using these products I havent had any dry spots around my nose and my skin looks more alive and fresh :) 
But of course we cant forget this last product which is something I havent been strict on myself about before I started using this tut tut to me I know :) 

NIVEA ANTI-WRINKLE Q10 PLUS EYE CREAM 

I really cant believe I have not been strict on myself enough about using eye creams before now but I havent been using them.   To be honest the skin under my eyes has been very dry lately and notice that sometimes using different concealers makes my under eyes look cakey throughout the day making them look old.  
Since using this eye cream I havent experiencing any dryness at all.  
Nivea state:  

Nivea Q10 plus anti-wrinkle Eye Cream is part of our proven Anti-Wrinkle Care System. The formula with UVA/ UVB filters helps support the skin’s defence. The light perfume-free, quickly-absorbed eye cream:

1. Supports your natural Q10, fights the appearance of wrinkles and visibly smoothes your skin

2. Helps support skin’s defence through UVA + UVB protection

3. Minimises dark under-eye circles RESULT: Smoother, younger-looking skin and minimised dark under-eye circles.

Again like the night cream this eye cream contains Creatine ;) 

This tube is 15mls and costs €11.79 but really this tube is going to last a long time as you only need a pea sized amount to do both eyes.  The tube has a very skinny nozzle at the end which helps you dispense just the right amount of product onto your fingers :)  

This is so so pleased to use on the eyes and not once has it sung me which is what we all fear.  Of course you have to be careful applying the cream and not to let it get into your eyes.  It feels like I am spreading water to my under eye area instead of a cream, that's how light it feels.  My under eye instantly looks moisturised and alot brighter.  I like to apply this twice a day.  In the morning and last thing at night.  It takes a while for this cream to soak in but once its soaked in your under eye area feels moisturised all day and night :) 

 As far as minimising dark circles I can safely say it hasnt done that for me yet as I suffer with dark circles from the inner corner to more or less the outer corner of my eyes and to me there is no difference but I  am only using this for about a month now so it could happen the more I use it :) and I will surely update you on that :)  One thing I am glad about is that I am finally into a routine of using eye creams twice a day now which to be honest everyone should do too once they hit their mid 20's onwards as we all dread those crows feet and wrinkles and what better way to prevent them than investing in a good eye cream ;) 

Well finally I have got to the end of my review and over all I am so so happy with this range.  I feel really great that I have a skincare that is not only protecting my face but also giving me the moisture I need :)  I am also crazy about the Serum and Highly recommend it :)  Its amazing :)  For the price you are paying (which is super affordable in my eyes) you are getting amazing quality skincare :) 

Have you tried this new Q10 Plus range yet.  I am so tempted to go out there and get the rest of the range to try out :)  To see what else is available check out Niveas Website :) 

Until Next time
