Summer is coming and
new launches of products we need for the summer are popping out at all corners.
I am a summer baby and I get a lot of energy from sun and sea so I am very much
excited for this moody weather to be gone – nothing under 30 degrees Celsius
counts as summer in my book!
With new baby, I spend
a lot of time outside which is something that’s new to me. I got a slight
sunburn more than a month ago when I spend about 30 minutes in the noon sun and
that’s one of the reasons that this Sunday, I’m doing a big post about sun
protection, but today, I want to talk about a new launch from Nivea.
This Protect and
Refresh lotion is something that will excite those who enjoy a bit of freshness
in the warm months and those who don’t like sunscreen because of the sticky
feeling. It combines a highly effective UVA/UVB protection with a natural
cooling effect because of the menthol in the lotion. It absorbs quickly and is
waterproof, which is another plus in my book. I have used it a couple of times
now and I must say that it’s my favorite Nivea sunscreen so far. I find that my
skin is quite soft after I use it but not sticky so I can also add another
layer of clothing quickly if the weather takes a turn for the worse, which it
so often does these days.
The Sun Protect &
Refresh lotion is available in a 200ml bottle with SPF20 for about 10,50 € and
a 200ml bottle with SPF30 for about 11,50€. It also comes in two other versions:
the Sun Protect &
Refresh Invisible spray retails for the same price as the lotion, as does the
Sun Protect & Refresh cooling spray, but the latter also comes with SPF 50
which costs 12,70 €.
Besides this great new
arrival from Nivea, I quickly wanted to mention a few things that have been
happening in DM. If you haven’t noticed, Rimmel replaced Manhattan in most of
the DM stores (and the others will be getting it soon). It sounds almost too
good to be true, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes and I was quite impressed
with the offer. I would guess that so far we are only getting the bestsellers,
but I hope that in time we will also start getting new arrivals. Check out my
search engine for reviews of different Rimmel products.
A quick look at the DM
catalogue also suggests that a few more trips to the store are in the stars for
me before we head over to the seaside. All of them are connected to spending a
couple of the precious DM points but I think that these offers are worth it.
First is the 25 % discount to all L’Oreal make-up for 30 points. I need a new
foundation and since I like the L’Oreal Infallible primer quite a lot, I will
probably be trying the Infallible foundation (regular price 10,99€) as well. I
also need some of the Color Riche nail polishes (regular price 5,99€),
especially Nymphea, Coral Trianon, and Cobalt Indecent.
Nivea also came out
with a new Creme Care line for face – face wash (5,49 € for 150ml), cleansing
milk (5,49 € for 200ml) and cleansing wipes (4,09 € for 25 pieces). I have
liked most of the Nivea face products I’ve used so far and I’m excited to see
if this new line is something that will become a staple in my bathroom.
The new catalogue also
includes a bunch of coupons where you get 30 % off for 10 DM points. I will be
using the following coupons:
~ Dove Derma Spa
Uplifted body oil (6,29 € for 150ml) since I’ve never tried any oil by Dove
before and I’m curious to see how it will perform
~ Nivea Protect &
Shave shaving gel (2,93€ for 200ml) as I’ve run out of the shaving foam I’ve
been stealing from my significant other
~ Nivea (haha, I swear
Nivea is not paying me anything for this post)
Sun Protect & Refresh spray with SPF 20 for the man in my life who
hates putting on sunscreen
~ Afrodita shower gel
(2,44€ for 400ml), hopefully I can get my favorite with Jojoba oil
~ Bourjois blush (6,99€)
since I already own one and like it quite a lot, but would like a peachy shade
that will probably compliment my sun kissed face during the following months
~ and a bunch of coupons
for household items that nobody on this blog cares about :)
And this is it for the
new products I wanted to talk about this week. Anything else I should be
getting from DM? Let me know!
Until next time, stay
beautiful!
