New in drugstore: in-shower makeup remover by Nivea

I can’t even explain how excited I am! I’ve been using Paula’s choice makeup remover for at least 5 years and till now there was nothing similar on the market that would cost less than Paula’s product. The main strength of the cleanser is that you can use it on the face and eyes comfortably in the shower. Finally, the day has come that I saw the advertisement for new Nivea product and I’m happy as one can be when finding a treasure….

In-shower makeup remover by Nivea vs Cleanser by Paula's Choice

Price: 3,95€ for 150ml in German DM drugstore (Paula’s choice costs 29,90€ for 473ml which would be 9,48€ for 150ml plus shipping of 6,95€).

Consistency and scent: it has creamy consistency, white colour and no scent.

Application: in the shower, preferably with dry hands, take a small size of the cleanser and start with circular motions on the eyes to remove mascara and eye makeup, then massage the rest on the face as well. Simply rinse it all off and voila, the face and eyes are clean.

The main reason I like using this kind of products is that during the application you don’t tag on your delicate skin on and around eyes, the cream glides and removes makeup without tearing up the skin.

Effectiveness: apart from waterproof mascara (or regular Rocket mascara by Maybelline) it removes everything and leaves the skin and eyes makeup free. It doesn’t dry my skin and doesn’t sting my eyes (unless you really try to remove that rocket mascara). In case of stubborn mascara it leaves behind probably 5% of it (it is the same for Paula’s choice cleanser).

My verdict: it is as good as Paula’s choice cleanser, it is cheaper and easier to get. I’m sold!
