Nivea Men Post Shave Balm as a PRIMER

I am absolutely LOVING using this Nivea Men Post Shave Balm as a Primer. I came across this thanks to Nikkie Tutorials who is an amazingly talented make up artist!

In her video she talks about how she had ran out of her primer and moisturiser and noticed that her boyfriend had this and  so decided to give it a try and  after using this it  makes her makeup last ALL day.

I have never really found a primer that I liked so I never use to prime. As this product is really cheap at £3.00 at Asda at the moment, there was no arguing that I was going to try it.

When using this it is very 'liquidy' as Nikkie states and comes out quite quick so you need to be careful! It also does smell like 'man' but that soon goes once it is absorbed into the skin. It applies nice and cool and on the box it says that it 'alleviates skin redness and dryness' and 'reduces skin sensitivity' and 'skin will feel comfortable and smooth' 

This definitely makes my make up last, it's amazing! I don't think I would not be able to not use this now. My skin also feels incredibly soft after using and my skin doesn't become so oily throughout the day. I also like the coolness it has, it is quite refreshing. My foundation looks really good and I notice a difference if I haven't used this.

For £3.00 you really cam't beat this and I recommend to give it a try if you can.

Clinique Take the day off Cleansing Balm

I am so in love with the product!  Now I haven't been using this for long but I can say it has become one of my all time favourites already ! :)

I wear make up every day to work or if i'm going out.  I used to remove my make up with wipes until I found out that they are not a good thing and are evil! Containing alcohol and being a breeding ground for bacteria..yuk!

  

          

The take the day off balm is about £21.00 in the UK which is such a good price because this will definitely last you a while. I know you can get this at Boots or Debenhams  and I did try to get this at my local Boots store but had no luck, so I took a trip to Debenhams instead and it was a success :)

Now this is a lightweight balm which removes the dirt and make up from the face. You don't really need a lot as a little goes a long way and all you have to do is just rub it over and it becomes oily and dissolves the make up. You then can wipe it off with a damp warm flannel.

This is suitable for all skin types and is 100% fragrance free - great for all us sensitive skin people!

This is definitely a better way to remove make up (I actually think its quicker then wipes) and tbh I don't know why it has taken me so long to get a cleansing balm. My face feels so much cleaner and refreshed after using this whereas wipes I found just made my face sore and didn't actually remove all the make up.

This is a keeper!

It would be great though if you could get it in a range of colours instead of white like pink for example.  It would just make it a bit more fun ... rubbing pink over your face! lol
