Nivea visage daily essentials

This is the Nivea visage daily essentials refreshing 2 in 1 cleanser and toner. With products like this, I normally buy Simple kind to skin everytime, but as this was half price at sainsburys, I thought I would give it a go. I had to get the normal to combination skin as they had none of the dry, sensitive skin ones. 

Product claims

• Cleanses and tones for a fresh skin feeling
• Removes daily impurities and make up 
• The 2 in 1 formula cleanses and tones in one single step without leaving residue 
• leaves skin feeling hydrated all day long

Results

I did find this product a bit watery and slimy to use to start with, but I guess that is due to the fact it is a cleanser AND toner, and I am used to using one and then the other. I enjoyed using this as it was a lot quicker than my usual routine, and the product does take make up off really easily and effectively, without having to drag or scrub the skin with cotton wool. I didn't feel right using it however, as I always felt these was something missing afterwards. In fact, sometimes I used the Simple toner just as I felt I needed an extra cleanse before moisturising. I don't think I would buy this again, merely for the reason, although I am in two minds about the product. If you like a quick and easy way to take off your make up before bed, then this one is really good for that.

Herbal essences dazzling shine

Hey guys! This is just going to be a quick post about an all time favourite shampoo and conditioner... Herbal Essences. This particular one is the dazzling shine range. The smell is a really fresh, clean, fruity scent.

Product claims

• Shine reflecting/enhancing 
• Serum infused formula for moisturised softness
• With botanical silk extract, cleans to help reveal natural shine

Actual result

The most important things about a shampoo and conditioner for me is that it cleans my hair, calms the frizz and makes it smell gorgeous and the Herbal essences range do all three. I love how my hair feels after I've washed it with this, and no matter what shampoo and conditioner I try, I always return to these. They are also so affordable and can be bought in any drug store or supermarket, but feel like a luxury product.  

Have you used herbal essences range before? What is your favourite shampoo and conditioner and what do you always return to after trying new products? 

Thanks for reading
