Nivea powerfruit relax shower gel & soft rose lip balm review

Nivea sent across a little goodie bag to me a few weeks back, I was super thrilled by this cutesy eco-friendly bag with retro pinups. I've been asked by friends countless times where did I snag this one from..its really cute!
In the 'IT' bag were two latest fruity and floral based launches from Nivea for Spring Summer season.I love toting this little bag around, isn't it like the cutest thing ever?
I have been testing both these products for a while now, but as I was banished from the virtual world I couldn't post the reviews. Finally now that I finally have broadband,I have decided to power ahead and get on with my regular posting schedule.

 First up the trusty good old shower gel from  Nivea, it comes with a blue sidekick of a loofah
.Its supposed to be charged with the goodness of acai berry and blueberries.This is pH skin balanced and dermatologically approved.The packaging looks nice and soothing and is functional with a simple flip top.
The gel is mildly fragrant and texture is just right not too thick, not to runny.Its leaves my skin feeling fresh, though not superbly hydrating I can get by with a light moisturizing lotion after using this shower gel.
Priced at Rs 175/- for 250 ml its a good value for money everyday shower gel.I'd recommend and would be checking out more variants in this range

Hoping that one day after kissing so many frogs of lip balms finally somewhere, someday we would meet our Knight in shining armor?

Well about 6.5 years back I had found my dream lip balm a.k.a Blistex Dailiy conditioning treatment lip balm. Then just as suddenly as it made its entry in the Indian market, it vanished off the store shelves. I was heart broken 'coz I had fallen for this lip balm hook,line and sinker.
I searched high and lo but couldn't find it, I finally made my peace with the fact that I might have to order it off Ebay or make do with some other lip balm.
I spotted Blistex DCT finally at a Chemist store in Bandra and Oh Man! I swear to you I went crazy with excitement.(I could have done cartwheels right there in the store 'coz I also found another hot favorite of mine which has been discontinued-Ponds age miracle serum!)

IRAYA VANILLA & WHOLE MILK LIP BALM (SPA FOR YOUR LIPS!)

I'd shared my Iraya haul with all of you in my previous post, continuing in the series here's my next drool worthy buy-Iraya Vanilla & Whole Milk Lip Balm.

Now for a hard core lip balm addict like me, our routine beeswax /petroleum jelly based lip balms don't  inspire awe,but this is exactly where this one stands out. 

Not so much in its product formulation but how it leaves your lips feeling supple and a very calming herbal/nutty/vanillaesque fragrance on your lips & a lingering smell & pleasant exotic aftertaste which always makes you reach out for more.

MARKS & SPENCER COCONUT LP BUTTER

MARKS & SPENCER COCONUT LP BUTTER is a delicious lip butter containing nourishing African shea butter. It moisturizes & conditions the lips leaving them silky soft. 

I like its light sweet smell (pleasant, not sickly sweet), it tastes nice, is not overly waxy or balm like in texture. Its great to apply on top off your lippies. 

I like its simple fuss free packaging, its a nice big pot of lip butter. Its priced INR 245/- & is available across M & S outlets in India.

M & S also retails these trio sets with 3 flavours of lip balm- Raspberry, Cherry & Coconut lip butter. The trios are priced at INR 650/-
