Surviving the Summer: Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deodorant Review

Hey guys! Remember me? Lol! No? Nevermind. I'm just going to update this blog as much as I possibly can. 

Today I have a review for you, except it isn't my review, it is actually by my sister Saloni, she volunteered to be a guinea pig for this Nivea deo because I'm allergic to Nivea deos in general. 

Okay, that doesn't mean that they're bad, you can be allergic to anything, be it chemical or natural and sadly enough I have very messed up skin that insists on being allergic to most things, hence, Saloni has tried out the new Nivea Whitening Sensitive deodorant, that promises fairness for sensitive underarms.

Okay, let's go!

Price:

Rs. 199 MRP

Packaging:

The packaging is typical of Nivea deodorants, a white metal bottle with a nice soothing colour scheme of light blue and aqua. The nozzle is also one that you see on most deo bottles these day. Simple and effective.

What it promises:

Fragrance:

The deo has a lovely fragrance, it is floral and very old school, like an old Yardley perfume or talc. 

The fragrance is pretty long lasting (unless you’re under really hot and humid conditions like a 3 hour traffic jam in Andheri in May). And it does keep the stink away. ^_^ 

As a person who spends their entire day in an air-conditioned office except the commuting time, I have to spend the entire day in close quarters with co-workers , in the train, everyone is in closed quarters.  >.>

And as everyone knows- ACs can amplify any smell. 

So this stuff is pretty good for most scenarios.

Sensitive Skin Friendly:

You know that feeling when you absentmindedly spray deodorant on your underarms after shaving or waxing and you swear that generations from now, they can still hear your pained screams? Well that definitely DOES NOT happen with this deo! It really is caring towards sensitive skin with no burning or tingling, I guess it is because of its 0% alcohol content!

And yes, it is actually better than the normal variety of Nivea Whitening deos.

HUZZAH! >w<

Fairness Factor:

Okay, I don't know whether it is psychological or for real but I do feel like my underarms have become fairer. Not significantly but more like they're going back to their normal colour and not being all dark and gross looking like they usually are.

Also when you apply the Nivea deo, wait for a couple of minutes for it to dry a bit and then wear your clothes, this ensures the most effectiveness. Don't know why but it works!

Overall this is a great deo, it comes at an affordable price and does what is is supposed to. Plus no burning is just a BIG bonus, especially in this insane heat.

Just remember to carry body mist with you anyway for long days because you gonna need that, it's the middle of MAY people! Deo or no deo! Good luck, it IS an Indian summer!

Well, will you be trying Nivea's Whitening Deodorant for Sensitive Skin?

Goodies from Nivea and Giveaway Announcement

Hey everyone!

I'm sitting here with orange hair right now, waiting for it to dry a bit so I can slap on some colour on to it! I'll show you what colour tomorrow. ^u^

But I was getting bored right now and thought I would share some goodies that Nivea sent me to try!

I remember when Nivea used to be that little blue tin of cream, now I realise they have SO many products!

Anyway, here's a little picspam for y'all!

I can't wait to try the Whitening Smooth Skin deo. Lol! JUST to see if it actually works! I will review it for you guys, armpit pics and all! HAHA! Yes, that's how much of a dedicated blogger I am, I will put up my armpits on the internet!

Then there is this SPF 30 water resistant Face Fluid and there's a face wash with it! It's INR 350! I feel like that is a lot but if the stuff is effective I wouldn't mind paying!

It looks really interesting, too bad I have no real use for it in this pouring rain. >.< 

Come October though, I'm going to need it!

Lastly, there is "Powerfruit Relax" Shower gel.

GUYS! This smells like the burps of angels who've been eating blueberries! SERIOUSLY!

It is so good.

And that sentence up there is probably a sign I need more ventilation when I'm bleaching my hair. Lol!

And it all came in a lovely cloth bag with vintage Nivea ads on the side.

This one is from 1958! Lovely illustration!

Hope you enjoyed this little post! Do let me know what Nivea products you enjoy!

Last Haul(s) for May

Ugh.. My name is Nisha and I'm a cosmetoholic.. Sigh.. Seriously guys, I have a problem. ;A;
I realised, all the stuff I got just in the last week amounts to so much that most women would probably consider having JUST that much a normal amount of makeup.. But then I guess I spend my money so you don't have to spend yours! LOL! Not a good save.. >_<

First, I went to Beauty Center, I went alone and went a little crazy, I think if I had some voice of reason along with me, my wallet would have been happier.. I had actually gone just to pick up stuff for my giveaway. Argh!
 -__-

• Jordana Extra Garlic Basecoat- My nails have been yellowing due to a lack of base coat, so I picked this up. No, it doesn't smell of garlic.. LOL! Can you imagine that?
• NYX Girls Polish "Frizz Spots"- I love this shade! It's holo hex and small glitters in a black jelly base. HOW I CAN SAY NO? ;A;
• Colorbar Exclusive polish (white)- I needed a GOOD white nail polish, all the ones I get seem to have the smell and consistency of pen corrector white ink.  -__-
• Faces Stackable Pigments "Frolic"- Total impluse buy, I just wanted to try pigments. *sigh* At least they're good! I used these here and here.
• VOV pigment "shimmery black?"- Also on impluse! It was 75 Rupees ok? You say no. :P
• NYX Cream Blush "Natural"- I just happened to love the way this blended and looked. :D
• NYX long eye pencil "Blue"- This was a free gift at the NYX counter. :)

Btw, Beauty Center has The NYX Extreme Lipcreams for just 380! Can you believe that? I wonder why the Matte Lip creams were 600?? I didn't buy any though.. I'm surprised I didn't buy any lipstick this time! LOL!

Then I went to this other place, I forget the name.. i think it's called Beauty Forever? It's a shop on Pali Market road, if anyone knows the name please tell me. I forgot kekeke... 

They have China Glaze polishes and they sell them for at least 100-150 Rs less than what you see on sites. :D

• Vega eyeshadow blender brush and blush brush- I actually planned to get brushes from The Body hop but with all the spending I had been doing I decided to stick with these. As you know I have a total of 3 brushes, these two make it five. :D I'm glad I got these, they seem to be pretty damn good!
• China Glaze polish "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"- I loved this colour! At first sight, I fell for it while it was searing its image into my retinas! I used it already for this Monday manicure.
• HipHop nail polish remover pads- I picked them up out of curiosity. I love that they give tweezers with them. :D

This was just some stuff I bought online, I got the Nivea Refreshing Cleansing Milk for makeup removal, the one I had before was barely half empty but I had to throw it away because it had crossed the expiry date. :(
I wanted to get Colorbar's Peachy Rose blush asap, I think they will be discontinued soon, I didn't see any at Beauty Center. :( Just some VERY expensive lip pencils!
The Bourjois Ombre Stretch Eyeshadow I picked up because I really wanted a blue like that. So pretty! I was surprised by the size though, it always looks so big in pictures! LOL!

My best friend was sweet enough to buy me this Maybelline stuff from the USA. I had asked her for The Dream Bouncy Blush in Coral Candy and Baby Lips lipbalm in Cherry Me! I can't wait to review these! :D

I walked into The Body Shop a few days ago with le boyfriend. I wasn't going to pick up anything but I was pretty impressed by this Oil Free Balancing Foundation. I got it in 05. I got my exact shade thanks to the boyfriend, otherwise I would have walked out with a 04 (too light) or a 06 (too orange).. Even the SA was a guy and he said 05. LOL! Men are good at this! What really throws me off personally is yellow lighting!

WHY DO MAKEUP STORES HAVE YELLOW LIGHTING?? It defeats the purpose of getting the right shade of anything! Grrrr.. *grits teeth* At least I got this right. -__-

Anyway, so that was my haul post! Tell me i you've tried any of these products, are there any you want to try? Does yellow lighting make you angry too?? LOL! Tell me I'm not the only one please! :D

Also, if you haven't yet, enter my 100 Follower Giveaway! *yay!* 

And finally, this month I will be on a MAKEUP BUYING BAN! Seriously, I spent too much this month! The only thing I will be buying this month is Maybelline's Dream matte compact.. Slap me if I buy anything else please. -__-
