As I was looking at my man’s stash of Nivea products, I can’t help but wonder why he had so many.  Then I found out that they didn’t have Q10 for men here in Dubai, only for women.   He had to shop loads from Germany to last him some months just so that he can have enough supply.  Much to his relief and to my curiosity, Nivea finally opened its own store in Dubai Mall, Nivea Haus. 

I too like Nivea products.  But I am not so much into the Q10 plus or the other creams, I’m more into what I call the ‘basics’: daily moisturizer, lotion and face wash.  These are usually Nivea.  What made me like Nivea even more was their Beaute line.  I don’t like wearing foundation, I find it pretty heavy so I use Nivea’s  tinted moisturizer until it wasn’t sold in any supermarket here in Dubai so I stopped using any kind of tinted moisturizer as most of them are too heavy.  Then there’s their compact face powder, it’s so light that it feels like you’re not wearing any.  It also gave my face a fresh look without feeling cakey or so.  They also have this lash defining mascara.  I started using this mascara since 2004 and could not find any other mascara that had the same wand and bristles as this one.  It was so mild on the lashes that I didn’t feel like a drag queen with ultra heavy fake lashes.  My lashes didn’t clump either.  So yes, I had a good experience with Nivea so far that I wanted to visit their new and only store in Dubai.

Once we reached Nivea Haus, I could not believe my eyes as to seeing how many products Nivea actually has.  From hair mask to cellulite massage creams to nail care.  I was like a kid in a candy store looking at all the attractively laid out products in awe.  They also have the products my man and I were desperately looking for in years.  This store is not only your regular cosmetics/skincare store.  They have “His” and “Hers” treatment rooms which offers services like massage and therapy, mannies and peddies, hair and makeup, beauty treatment, etc..  As for the men, they have a barber shop, facials for men, massage services and grooming packages.

I can’t wait to go for my first beauty treatment, still haven’t decided which one to have just yet.  But I will certainly update you right after I have one.  J
