Dare to Bare with Nivea: $150 Shopbop Giveaway!

The last couple weeks I have been trying out Nivea's new Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion with Q10.  Several bloggers were chosen to participate in the "Dare to Bare Challenge".  We were told to simply incorporate the lotion into our daily beauty routine for two weeks and monitor our skins appearance during this time.  Today I get to share my opinions about the product!  Check out my review, as well as the amazing giveaway at the bottom of the post!

I should start off by saying that I'm really lazy about applying body lotion, so putting lotion on for two weeks straight was a struggle, BUT...my skin looooved it!!  I hate when lotion is greasy, leaves your skin sticky or oily for over 10 minutes, or has an overpowering scent.  Luckily that was not the case with this Nivea lotion!  My skin devoured the stuff immediately, the lotion was light and the smell was actually pleasant.  After two weeks my skin really is noticeably softer/smoother and it actually feels a bit tighter than it was before! I don't know if it looks more toned (maybe if I would actually get some exercise...), but I do love the results and I will definitely keep using this lotion.  If only I would have started using it two weeks BEFORE going to Aruba...I might have felt a little more comfortable in my swimsuit!

Nivea sent me a Shopbop gift card to buy a new dress that would show off my firmer and more moisturized skin, but I just haven't found the right one yet!  Here are three options under $150 that I'm kind of loving...what do you think??
