It's HAPPY TIME!

I've been eyeing this lotion since I spotted it in Hong Kong, but it just never came to Malaysia. When I spotted it in a Guardian in Singapore for only $1.95 (for 50ml) I snapped it up. Btw, don't you LOVE travel size samples? How I wish all skincare products had them.

Why this hasn't turned up here is a puzzler. I mean, light citrus scented lotions are perfect for our hot weather, aren't they?


For once, it's a Nivea lotion that doesn't SMELL like a Nivea lotion (one of my pet peeves with Nivea lotions in general. Pardon the redundancy). It smells like a sweet citrus with vanilla undertones. Not too bad actually... I'd perfer a brighter citrus but then again I am an insane citrus addict.

I was under the impression that it was a light lotion but in actually it's quite rich. It's not watery or gel like but it sinks in fast and isn't the least greasy. I'd describe it as creamy. It's nicely moisturising and heavy enough to function as a light handcream to tote around in my handbag.

Would I repurchase? Not in fullsize I think, my curiosity is satisfied and the initial happy smell doesn't last. But it's a perfectly decent lotion and I may pick up another adorable, tiny bottle for on-the-go.
