Here I am now, finally getting around to it! You can even see from the pics below that I was planning on posting this earlier (the mani I had on was from ages ago XD).
I bought this product in early April, because we were leaving for Ilocos and I didn't have any lotion or anything to bring. I knew we'd be spending some time on the beach and I gotta recover that moisture somehow, right? So I was hunting around in Watson's for small bottles of lotion and I came across the Nivea Hand Moisture Boost Gel Creme (whew that is a mouthful!!). I bought it along with some other stuff, then tried it the next day while we were driving to Ilocos (8-12hr drive depending on conditions) because I usually use alcohol to sanitize my hands before/after eating (when I am not at home) so my hands are always DRY.

Product claim:
(front) Hydrates & refreshes hands; Quickly absorbed | with sea minerals and vitamin E
(back) NIVEA Hand Moisture Boost is a quickly absorbed gel cream with an innovative formula which provides a long-lasting moisture boost for your hands, leaving your skin feeling fresh and looking beautiful.
I like:
The product does what it says it will!!
- Really moisturizing/hydrating/smoothing
- Affordable 67PHP/30ml tube
- Small packaging is convenient, you can just throw it into your purse (fyi, this also comes in a bigger tube. Didn't get to check price though)
- Really light-weight, doesn't give you the sweaty/oily palms feeling
- A little goes a long way and the effect stays for a long time. I put some on yesterday and my hands are still soft (I am really rough on my hands) even after washing my hands countless times
- Absorbed really quickly
- Consistency was a bit runny thus making it easier to apply
I don't like:
- Slight baby-oil scent
Will I repurchase?
Definitely. In fact I am almost out. Next time I'm getting the bigger tube so I can have some in my purse at all times (transferring it to the empty container I have now) and some at home at all times. When I finish this product, it'll be my first product done for my 10 pan project! :)
Before I go, here's a quick shot of my nails today.
How are you today, girls? Have you found any good products lately?
