Coconut Cream Shower Cream | Nivea
Hi Lovelies,
Summers or winters, I love to pamper myself with shower creams that would leave my skin soft and fresh. I often mention on my blog about Nivea being one of my favorite brands when it comes to shower gels and creams. I have reviewed Harmony Time (my most favorite) and Double Effect in the past and both turned out to be amazingly refreshing.
This time I chose Nivea Coconut Cream Shower Cream. It comes in a convenient plastic packaging with a blue flip cap like other shower creams from this range. The consistency is medium to light and I suppose a little less creamy than the other two shower creams I had tried in the past from the same range. It smells nice, light coconut fragrance and not at all overpowering. The creamy formula contains Jojoba oil which ensures to leave your skin smooth and moisturised. In the shower it lathers so well just as expected! This rich lather combined with the light coconut fragrance and the tendency to wash off excessive oil and dirt makes this a very good shower cream. It does not leave my skin dry after the shower which is another plus point to it.
During summers I skip using body lotion after a shower and it a great help when my body wash/shower gel/shower cream does not leave my skin dry and patchy. Nevertheless, there are times when it is very hot and I skip the shower cream. Instead I deliberately use soap to get this dry feeling skin after the shower because heat, oil and sweat becomes so irritating and I just want to get rid of it asap!
When it comes to shower creams or fragrances I just stick to one and buy a new one only when I run out of these. I'm more experimental with shower creams than I am with fragrances. Off course if you end up with an amazing aroma during your shower there's nothing more relaxing than that after a tiring day's routine. Coming back to Nivea Coconut Cream, I personally think with the affordable price tag it comes with this is a very good shower cream to try. So do go for it if you come across it next time while looking for shower creams. Let me know how did you find it in the shower.

Chance Eau Tendre | Chanel
Hi Lovelies,
After trying Chance (the original) from Chanel sometime in the past few years my love for this old flame suddenly awakened. Being a Libra, I'm bound to collect pretty objects and admire (physical) beauty. And beauty is much more than mere makeup. So I took the opportunity (= chance!) to admire this fragrance once again. I ended up picking the newer version Chance Eau Tendre this time which took me a little by surprise. This fragrance is a modern, almost classy and summery version of Chanel.
Chance Eau Tendre is a romantic and newer version (along with Chance Eau Fraiche) of Chance the original fragrance by Chanel. It comes in a pretty pink packaging with a simple, sophisticated round bottle and a square cap. If you have been into Chanel perfumes you would definitely and at once notice the difference. While most Chanel fragrance are classy and different, one spray and you feel this one is a fruity-floral interpretation of the original Chance. Grapefruit is the key note here with a hint of Jasmine and white musk that lingers on.
But that's not all. Chance Eau Tendre smells younger and lively! Definitely for those 'young at heart' (ages is just a number remember). My personal preference when it comes to fragrances is warm-spicy-woody scents. Yet I do not prefer to wear warm fragrances all the time. I prefer something fresh, clean and floral during day time especially in summers. I think this will smell equally great in spring when colors start to show up everywhere. I think it slightly resembles Bright Crystal by Versace, yet it is not like Bright Crystal if you know what I mean. I also overheard someone saying it slightly resembles Daisy by Marc Jacobs (can anyone confirm?). Since I haven't tried that I can't really say but I believe all fruity florals fragrances have some or the other in common.
Even though the one fragrance I received most compliments on is also a Chanel - Allure Sensuelle, Chance Eau Tendre is definitely my favorite for this summers and I cannot recommend it enough.
Which is your current favorite summer fragrance?
