Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes
Price: Around $7 per pack
Obtained: Gift bag
Thoughts:
This version is designed specially for dry and sensitive skin. Testing them against the regular version in the same range, these ones have a stronger smell which I found a bit odd because usually sensitive skin products aren’t scented. They smell like make up remover and are fairly similar to baby wipes. They take a bit of effort to get eye make up off and while they do work they also take a bit more of rubbing than my regular remover so that negates the fact that they are for sensitive skin. While they were very convenient I think I will stick to regular liquid make up remover and it involves less rubbing.
Would I buy Nivea Cleansing Wipes again: From a convenience point I would but for sensitive skin I prefer regular make up remover as it requires less rubbing and therefore less chance of irritation.

So competition time eh? As I mentioned a while ago I’m going to try out doing a competition per month using things I’ve made for tutorials as prizes. Today we kick off the first one with Miss Bunny!
You all know I’ve been making plushies like crazy and I’m especially obsessed with the bunny ones. I’ve been so obsessed I’ve even drawn a wallpaper with her too which will be up for download next week. Problem is, I’m terrible with coming up with names and Miss Bunny seems to have EXPLOSIVE AMNESIA and can’t remember her own name or back story! OH NOES!
If you want more information about her search for a name or photos for inspiration take a look at Miss Bunny’s Day Out post.
To Enter
Make a comment on THIS entry (not Miss Bunny’s Day Out) telling my what you think Miss Bunny’s real name is and her back story. Be creative! For example, you could tell me how she got her name, where she grew up or her personality. You can post pictures or link to a blog post if you want to but it’s not required (my spam filter might catch links but I will approve them as they come in).
I will pick the winner based on creativity and which name/story I think fits the best.
Prize
The winner will receive 1 bunny plushie handmade my me. I will include a couple of other little trinkets in the package too depending on the winner’s personal taste but the bunny is the main prize.
Conditions
Entry is available to readers worldwide, void where prohibited.
Prize will be sent via Aus Post Airmail.
Entries are open from the time this goes live until AEST Midnight Thursday the 1st of December 2011.

So there you go! I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with and let me know if you have any questions 😀 Thanks for entering and good luck!

Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Fragrance Free Facial Cleansing Wipes
Price: Around $7 per pack
Obtained: Sent by PR
Thoughts:
These are free from perfume, alcohol, colour and oil and also suitable for sensitive eyes apparently which I like as my eyes are very sensitive. They smell like moisturiser and have a bumpy texture that helps to remove make up fairly easily. Out of the packet they feel very wet and leave a nice moisturised feeling which is nice.
Compared to the sensitive skin version of the same range these ones smell better. I tested it against the sensitive version on my arm and found this one needed more rubbing to remove liquid eyeliner and left my arm a little red from rubbing while the sensitive one didn’t.
Overall I’m not a big fan of make up wipes in general because I don’t think they are cost effective but they are quite convenient so I would probably keep using them.
Would I buy Nivea Cleansing Wipes again: Yes.
