Neal's Yard Daily Brightening moisturiser

Neal's Yard Daily Brightening moisturiser
What does it promise to do?: 

Diminishes the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation as skin is nourished and hydrated.  Skin looks more even and luminous and feels beautifully soft, smooth and better protected. The innovative blend includes brightening African star grass, scientifically proven to effectively brighten the skin, with antioxidant vitamin C and moisturising tara.

Do we like?: 

This adds a glow to skin which looks natural and doesn't contain any irridiscent pieces. Plus leaves skin super soft and smooth. However, on it's own, it's not that hydrating and actually left skin feeling slightly tight which was disappointing. So for best results use with a serum or additional moisturiser.

Soap & Glory Wish Upon A Jar

Soap & Glory Wish Upon A Jar product review
What does it promise to do?: 

This cream boosts moisture levels, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, brightens tired skin and hides imperfections (with triple action youthfake diamond spheres specifically designed to disguise dull, exhausted and aging skin). It’s got antioxidants, shea butter and quite possibly the most potent mix of clinically proven anti wrinkle superpeptides, oxygen boosters, puffiness reducers, pigmentation, large pore and fine-line disguisers ..and in 21 days flat can take a tired face and make it look fresh.

Do we like?: 

Sometimes you read what a cream is supposed to do and think there's no way it can do all that. But when it comes to this product by Soap & Glory, it fulfills every single thing it promises. We're not sure if it's the diamond spheres or the superpeptides but this cream will leave your skin radiant, almost glistening with a J-Lo like glow. A perfect pick-me-up for winter.

Where can I buy it?: 

In bigger Boots stores in the UK & Ireland or via boots.com, at Harvey Nichols in Beyond Beauty and on Asos.com.

Nivea Visage Natual Beauty Radiance Boosting Moisturiser

NIVEA VISAGE NATURAL BEAUTY Radiance Boosting Moisturiser
What does it promise to do?: 

The beautifying moisturiser, enriched, with Mango Milk, hydrates your skin throughout the day whilst visibly refining complexion. And the light-reflecting formula, with Cashmere Proteins, immediately gives the skin a natural-looking and even radiance.

Do we like?: 

The shimmering effect once applied does leave skin looking radiant and even-toned. But shimmer particles can be too much. And it didn't soak into skin too well, slightly congealing. So, a decent moisturiser to wear on it's own just don't overdo the shimmer.

Where can I buy it?: 

Boots stores and most supermarkets nationwide.

Dior Hydra Life Pro-Youth Sorbet Creme

Dior Hydra Life Pro-Youth Sorbet Creme
What does it promise to do?: 

This fine, melt-away creme envelops the skin with immediate and intense freshness. The ultra-light texture glides deliciously on the skin and transforms into water for immediate surface hydration. The skin is fully hydrated, luminous and incredibly even.

Do we like?: 

This is moisturiser is part of Dior's 2010 Hydra Life range, the result of 14 years research and other exceptional things which you can read about here. So big things were expected. And there are good qualities: it doesn't leave skin greasy but soaks in very fast, meaning you can apply makeup sooner. But the range promises to rehydrate, replump and remoisturise skin. And while skin looked good, there wasn't much discernible difference before and after using this product to any moisturiser. And the pot design makes getting cream out difficult.
