Hey Pretties,
According to +NikkieTutorials this is the best primer she has ever used and of course it's been trending since she mentioned it on her YouTube channel. I finally decided to give in to the pressure and even the videos I watched did not prepare me.
I opted to buy mine on my last trip to Dubai-- I should have just checked high end pharmacies here in Nigeria-- that would have saved me the wait. I purchased a bottle for 27AED (about 1,500NGN). For that price it's definitely value for money as it comes in 100 ml bottle.
The balm comes in an opaque and sturdy white bottle which I like a lot and the content also has the same opaque consistency. It has a hint of a manly scent which disappears after a couple of seconds. A few questions have been raised on how healthy the balm is as a primer, it contains high amount of glycerine which allows other products to stick to the face and last a lot longer.
To use simply pour out some on your palm and apply directly on to the skin, gently massaging it till it dries into the skin--while rubbing into the skin the balm gets sticky before it dries.
Verdict
As a primer, this is not amazing for the tropics aka Nigerian weather. If you are thinking of purchasing, I recommend you combine with other matifying primers. I guess this it's safe to say this is one of the products that did not meet my expectations.
The Nivea post shave balm is available for sale at H-Medix for N2,300.
You're welcome!!!
Stay Pretty!!!
