NIVEA Hand Moisture Boost Gel Creme Review + Nails

Today I am just lying around waiting for 2:30PM to roll by so I can go with my mom to get registered for voting (my PolSci prof. said that whoever isn't a registered voter will fail the class--wth right?). So while I'm waiting, I decided that I would finally get around to doing a review on this product, since I have told myself since I bought it that I would. 

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.

Back

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?

I have a problem with my hands since I always wash it (like always!! every time i touch something i will wash my hands and blaaaaaaah) I have cracked hands (sort of like cracked heels but for the hands the skin is just peeling it's disgusting i know 8D) i hope it could be remedied by this product

Gorgeous nails!! And wow, I can't imagine putting alcohol on my hands. Even hand sanitizer dries them out really bad, lol. <3 my hand lotions.

@Shantee - thanks for the tip, girl!

@Thiamere - I live Nivea products too, but not all of them sadly. :( And thanks!!

@Izumi - You're welcome, and thank you!!

@Gia - Thanks. Hehe. If ever you could just ask me what its name is again, you know my number anyway. I have the same problem with my hands.

@Catherine - Thank you! I don't like the feel of hand sanitizer on my skin which is why I use alcohol, it's bad but I follow it up with this hand lotion so things work out. Hehe.

@Donnarence - Me too, same problem. This thing really helped smooth my hands. :)Yes these are my real nails--I used nail stamps. :D
