Nivea Touch of Happiness Moisturizing Body Wash in Orange Blossom Scent & Bamboo Essence

The brand Nivea has been around for as long as a can remember, and that is a long time. My Mum used to use Nivea cream, in the blue tin, and that was back in the 1950's.

So when C.V.S. had one of their promotions, where you paid, $3.49 for it, and then got the money back in the form of a coupon, for your next visit, I purchased it.

The bottle is huge. Well it looks bigger than the 16.9 fluid ounce (500 ml), because it is nine and a half inches tall, and four inches across. It is a fairly flat bottle as in measures only one and a half inches wide.

I love the plain white bottle, with the Nivea logo boldly displayed. The fragrance is Orange Blossom Scent & Bamboo Essence, and you can see part of an orange segment below it.

The bottle has a flip top, with a decent size hole, for the body wash to come out. What I don't like about this bottle, is the fact that it doesn't have anywhere to grip. All of the bottle is smooth, and that could be an accident waiting to happen, in a bathroom.

Before even using the product, I flipped the top, and loved the smell. It is of citrus, but not an overpowering smell of orange.

Once in the shower, I stood under the water, and grabbed the poof. I carefully held this big bottle in my left hand, and squeezed some of the off-white cream, onto the poof.

As I went up and down my body, with the poof, I got plenty of the cream on my skin, and it turned into a good lather. The fragrance was really lovely, and fresh. It was so nice to enjoy a scent, that doesn't make you choke, in a small enclosed shower stall.

After rinsing off the Nivea Touch Of Happiness Moisturizing Body Wash, I towel dried myself. My skin felt soft, but I was surprised that it didn't leave it feeling hydrated. With many of the body washes your skin feels full of moisture, but Nivea has fallen short, in this product.

I have used this body wash for the past two weeks, and still have lots left.

This is what Nivea have on the back of the bottle:

"Experience the happy sensation and energizing scent this nourishing NIVEA body wash gives you and your skin. This silky cream-gel with nourishing bamboo essence gives you incredibly soft skin while cleansing very mildly. Its indulging intense lathering formula is enriched with energizing orange blossom scent to awaken your senses."

I give Nivea 100% for the delicate fragrance, and love that it lingers on. I feel that it is mild, and I know that my body is clean. The only problem that I find with Touch Of Happiness Moisturizing Body Wash, is that I think they left out some of the 'Moisturizing', in this product.

I will finish it off, but don't plan on purchasing it again, because now I have to use two products instead of one. The Body Wash, and a separate Moisturizer.
