Review: NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave

October 13, 2014

When I was a teenager and played much more sports back then, I perspire easily and my body scent was obviously not pleasant. Like many normal humans out there, I resort to using deodorant; the roll-on type. It did help to lessen the after-sports odour but after a few tries, I felt that it was unhygienic to use roll-on deodorant; after each usage, gems or dirt could roll into the container and roll back on your skin the next time you use (yuck). I completely cut off the usage of roll-on deodorant after my peers add on to my horror by telling me how it could cause cancer or skin diseases etc.

Till today, I finally found my confidence in deodorant again!

Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave is an anti-perspirant that goes beyond the essential to give users fairer, smoother, and healthier underarms. This product contains provitamin B5 and Vitamin C which helps to:

Whiten and smooth skin
Repair damaged cells
Reduce skin irritation from shaving
Support skin regeneration
Provide 48-hours protection again body odour and sweat

Even though I am currently attending IPL sessions, I’m still required to do self shaving between sessions. It is a known fact that shaving will cause small cuts on the skin, which in return will become rough and likely to get inflammation and pigmentation – causing the skin to darken.

Fortunately, this deodorant comes in a spray format which means there’s no direct contact with the skin (yay!). Besides providing 48-hour of protection against body odour, the product also acts as a skincare for underarm – Provitamin B5 helps to promote wound healing (from shaving cuts), supports the formation of new cells and moisturize the skin. / Vitamin C protects the skin against radical damage, promote collagen formation and repair hair from shaving and plucking. Basically, it’s a bottle of happiness for your underarm.

Verdict – I love the product for its spray format so there isn’t much direct contact between the container and the skin. The product gives off a nice simple floral scent that isn’t over powering, and will not cover/mixed up with my own perfume scent. The solution is cooling to the skin and dries up quickly upon spraying, which does not make the skin feel uncomfortable. After 8 hours, my underarms still feel fresh and perspiration is reduced. The only inferiority of this product is the times of usage it is available for; product tends to finish faster through spraying.

Product - NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave
Price - $9.10 (150ml)
Place - All personal care stores & supermarkets (eg. Watsons, NTUC FairPrice)

Review: Bioré Micellar Cleansing Water

September 20, 2014

Introducing Bioré Micellar Cleansing Water – a non-rinse makeup remover! Having known that this is a water based remover has already won half of my heart, compared to those that come in oil based.

Let’s see more of the product feature, it contains:

Watery Micellar Technology that effectively dissolves and lifts of all makeup including mascara and eyeliner.
Natural Mineral Water from the Northern Japanese Alps for a gentle and soothing formula.
Enriched Collagen and White Tea Extract for brighter, softer and suppler skin.
Anti-bacterial formula that helps prevent pimples and breakouts, and minimises pores for a clearer and more refined complexion.

Now, let's put the product to test.

On top of my hand, I applied (Top to bottom): Bronzer, eyeliner, liquid foundation, eye shadow, eyebrow pencil, mascara, brusher. Note that I applied a little more on the foundation and mascara, because these are the 2 items that usually requires thorough cleansing before the face is completely clean, especially the mascara. Without a good remover, mascara usually get stuck between the lashes, and it is quite a pain to get them off entirely.

I used 2 pump (varies between users) of the cleansing water on the cotton pad before putting it on my skin and holding it for 5 seconds.

The result came out pretty good! It removed all the products I used, none of products leave any stain or residue, including the mascara!

Moving on, I put the test to my face (Tested using same products on the hand).

Same amazing result. The product completely removes my mascara, foundation and all the other products! Best of all, even though the product does not require rinsing, it does not leave any sticky residue on your skin. Double love.

I absolutely adore non oil based product, so this product really kept me satisfied. In addition, the cleansing process is fast and thorough which saves me a lot of time. Especially on days when I'm home from work late and tired, this product helps to speed up the process. In comparison to previous makeup remover I use, Bioré Micellar Cleansing Water indeed leaves a smoother, softy touch to the skin. It does not leave your skin dry after use and is suitable for all skin types!

This product is priced at $18.90 (300ml), and you can get it at all pharmacies, hypermarkets and supermarkets, and major departmental stores.
