Hey guys! I'm back with another review! This one's gonna be based on the Nivea cosmetics line. Now I know these are not really THAT popular in the Makeup world... But I'm gonna do an "undiscovered" kind of a review! So are you ready? Let's go!
So the products that I'm going to review today are:
Nivea BeautyLift 'Lifting Effect Foundation'
Nivea Volume Shine Wonderfull Lip gloss
Nivea Volume Shine Pure Diamond Lipstick
Nivea Extension NanoDefinition Mascara
Nivea Volume Shine Lipgloss
First up! The foundation. The packaging is a glass bottle which is nice and sturdy, and has a pump dispenser, which is totally hygienic and I love it for that! It promises tightening, smoothing and radiant skin. You get 30 ml of the product. It's got an SPF of 10, so it might not be good on flash cameras, but I've worn this on many occasions and my pictures have come out quite good, so I don't really mind that.
I'm surprised it's got a wide variety of shades, I'm in the shade 050 Apricot which is just perfect for my skin tone.
And then, as I blend, it completely disappears into my skin, leaving a very smooth and silky finish. It's staying power is quite impressive, I've worn this and gone out in the sun and it doesn't melt like other foundations do. So yay!!
The best part is it doesn't look cakey on your skin, and when I felt my face after an hour or so of applying this, it felt just sooo soft! I was surprised because it's quite long-lasting. It gives a low to medium coverage, and when I pair this up with a concealer, its just perfect!
The only thing that I didn't like about this is that it kind of got accumulated on my nose area. I blended it quite well, but after two hours or so, I could notice a kind of powdery look on my nose, a bit weird. Maybe it's because my nose is dry.. Hmm...
It also says at the back of the bottle that it minimises pore visibility. I found that it lives up to that too.
All in all, its a wonderful product worthy of its price. It might not compete with the high-end foundations, but if you're looking for something budget-friendly, this is it!!
Next up! The lip gloss tube. This is called the Nivea Volume Shine Wonder Full lip gloss. Phew! That's a long name! It also says its a plumping gloss with collagen booster. It's got 14 ml of the product and is in the shade 4 Rosy. The packaging is super attractive and cute! And of course, totally travel-friendly.
It's got a plastic tip with a hole in the middle to dispense the gloss. You probably can see in the swatch that it's a very soft light peach color. But when you apply it on the lips there's hardly any color payoff. It's got really really low pigmentation and that's a bummer...
The first thing that I noticed when I applied it is that it's really up in that collagen game, 'cause I felt my lips so much more fuller after I used this gloss.
But the other thing that I also noticed is that it's so sticky! Like super sticky guys! I feel really uncomfortable when my lip gloss is sticky. I actually hate it. So there's a negative point.
Also, after maybe an hour or two, the lip gloss completely disappeared leaving some kind of a weird white sediment at the corners of my lips. And it's got zero moisture in it, so when it dries off it leaves your lips totally dry.
So if the product has this many flaws, how does one use it? I have an answer for that too! Afra to the rescue!! :D
So basically its got such low pigmentation, it really can't be worn on itself. Plus it dries out your lips, so I came up with a perfect solution. I pair it up with a nice creamy lipstick! I use this as a top coat for a lipstick, it lightens the color a slight bit, adds up gloss and doesn't dry out your lips! So its a win-win situation! Yay!
Now, it's time for Nivea Volume Shine Pure Diamond Lipstick. This is in the shade 62 Beige Diademe. When I first saw the shade, I thought it was a bit too dark for me, but using even the slightest swipe of the product, I get just the right amount of color on my lips. It's got great color build-up and it's texture is super soft and creamy.
The swatch just might look a bit dark, but it's actually a quite lovely nude when you blend it. I'm not really a big fan of dark lipsticks. This is a lovely soft nude with peach and pink undertones.
Now let's talk about the Nivea Extension Nano Definition Mascara. This is of course in the shade 01 Black and you receive 8 ml of the product.
It promises visible extension and perfect separation at the back of the tube.
The mascara wand is nice and sturdy and has evenly distributed stiff bristles. One can't really swatch a mascara, but I tried it anyway! So here's the thing, the initial application of the mascara is nice, but once you apply the second coat, it tends to become really clumpy. And I HATE clumpy! Ewww! When it dries on your lashes, it tends to make your lashes stone hard. It gives a very heavy feeling and you don't feel comfortable about it. That's a bummer.
Also, the life of this mascara is way too short for my liking. Usually mascaras can go upto 6-7 months easily. But this one hardly lasts for 2-3 months!! It's all dried up after that. I have used it properly and haven't excessively pumped the wand into the bottle, but still, the mascara bottle is just completely dry!
So here was my review for these Nivea products. I hope you enjoyed reading my lovelies. I'll see you next time! Till then, this is Afra saying peace out....

I'm surprised it's got a wide variety of shades, I'm in the shade 050 Apricot which is just perfect for my skin tone.
So here's my swatch, I took a small amount on the back of my hand, It's texture is quite liquid but not too runny. It's got a slight fragrance, nothing too overpowering and it disappears as and when you start blending it into your skin.
And then, as I blend, it completely disappears into my skin, leaving a very smooth and silky finish. It's staying power is quite impressive, I've worn this and gone out in the sun and it doesn't melt like other foundations do. So yay!!
