Nivea Express Hydration Primer
I'd never really seen the point in primer until very recently. My past experiences with other brands primers have left me feeling as though I'm paying an extortionate price for something that resembles a cheap moisturiser, doing nothing to help my makeup actually stay in place (despite the packaging's miracle claims).
Nivea's Express Hydration Primer has changed this opinion entirely. In fact, I think it's very quickly earned the title of "holy-grail, could-not-live-without primer". This stuff is amazing. (note the use of underline and bold for this statement- it's that good)
Not only does Express Hydration act as a instant long-lasting hydrator (much better than that of any other primer's I've used) but it also provides a smoothing base with a real stick to keep your makeup in place all day. Retailing at £4.99 it's more than affordable in comparison to other well known primers on the market. I'm thinking of POREfessional by Benefit... A £24.50 price-tag will definitely burn a hole in your purse!
The only down-side I can think of is that I was surprised at the size of pot after taking it out of the box, the box is definitely much larger, so the packaging is kind of mis-leading. However, a little really does go a long way in terms of application. So in my eyes that makes up for the packaging mishap!
I really like how Nivea have designed the packaging, girly yet sleek. I especially like that it's made out of glass, I think glass makes products feel so much more luxurious and expensive.
If you've never bought a Primer before and are on the look-out for a new one, I would definitely recommend Express Hydration. The bottom line is that it's affordable, looks good and is more than effective on the skin, beating so many other primers on the shelves!

This sounds great, and I love the price tag. I've never even heard of this stuff! I totally agree with you about the glass packaging, it just feels nicer! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I have already persuaded my flat mates to buy it! It looks so much more expensive then it actually is!
DeleteI'm so the same, I've tried quite a few but have never repurchased as they don't seem to be any more than a glorified moisturiser and none that I've tried have kept my makeup on either. I'll definitely be purchasing this, sounds amazing and I love nivea products!
