Nivea Express Hydration Primer



Hello Lovelies!


How nice has the weather been this week? As you can see I took advantage of the sun and grabbed some products and my camera and got at one with nature! I literally can not wait for Summer, I am so sick of the Winter months its not even funny. Roll on the long evenings and the sunshine!

Can I just say before I review this product I did NOT buy it because of the (slightly cringey) YouTube adverts that have been doing the rounds, it was actually on a half price offer in Tesco of all places and decided to go for it! I am normally a big fan of primers, I do whatever it takes to help my makeup last that little bit longer. But in the mornings after I apply my moisturiser I sometimes find it difficult to apply my primer and foundation after because it just doesn't sit right and sometimes seems to slide off my face if that's possible?

Anyway on to the purchases. Nivea Express Hydration Primer. Now to be honest I haven't heard too much about this in blogging land and after buying it I came home and googled it to see what other peoples experiences were (this is where I came across THOSE adverts) and I was happy to see that the majority of the reviews were positive! First impressions of using this product was that it felt lovely on my skin. It has a gel-like consistency which is so lightweight, so it would be perfect for the Summer months too! I used it after coming out of the shower and I thought it felt lovely and cooling on my skin when I applied it, it also absorbed into my skin really quickly so I didn't have to wait around waiting for it to sink in. It made my skin feel lovely and refreshed. When I applied my foundation it went on so smoothly and seamlessly it was amazing! During the day I always tend to get drier areas down the centre of my nose and on my cheeks but since using this I haven't noticed any problem areas! (Woo!) I did also find that my makeup lasted really well throughout the day on my face also! I use a primer everyday anyway so the difference wasn't outstanding to me but compared to other primers it definitely does the job! 

I really enjoy using this! If like me you want your makeup to last longer throughout the day but you are prone to a bit of dryness I think this is the product for you! I've got the version for Normal/Combination skin but there is also a Dry/Sensitive version too!

    1. I never mentioned Fleur in my post, and it was not my intention to victimise her. I'm sorry you felt this way.
