Garnier - Miracle Wake Up Cream

I liked the night cream from this range, so I thought I'd try the day version.
I regret this decision.

It is tinted (which I guess is ok) which I guess is the 'de-tiring' effect.
It smells like mayonnaise with a tail note of overripe bananas.

It is difficult to get the thickness right. Too thick and it pills during the day, which is not a good look.
But it is quite a thick cream.

I think it wants to make your face matte, but it just makes my skin look dry and haggard. 
It really is not moisturising at all.

I will use the rest of it (probably) but only on days where I don't need my skin to breathe and sweat, not on a day over 15C.
So winter grocery shopping.

Nivea - In-Shower Smooth Lotion - Dry Skin

This is a good idea in theory... in practice it leaves a bit to be desired.

First and foremost, I HATE THE BOTTLE!
It is so stiff! 
Even if I wasn't already soaked from the shower, I still can't squeeze this bottle!

I'll crush you like this paper cup!

If you drop any, it makes the shower floor VERY slippery!

While it is moisturising, I don't feel it does enough that I wont still put moisturiser on after my shower.

So this product is a complete miss in my mind.
