Product Review: Nivea Visage Soft Facial Cleansing Wipes

     Sorry for the lack of post. After watching Breaking Dawn, Edward Cullen doesn't stop swirling on my mind so I forgot that I have to review some products that I purchased a week ago. 

     On to the review, this facial wipes is just a substitute to my favorite Neutrogena facial wipes that I've been using more than a year now. The SA said that Neutrogena is always out of stock these past few days. I have no choice, I ran out of facial wipes so I have to buy Nivea instead. This wipes can be used for face, neck and eyes. You can see on the upper left portion of the packaging the word INNOVATION meaning new soft fleece with intensively cleaning micro-sponges and because of this I'm sold.

     The new generation of Nivea Visage Soft Facial Cleansing Wipes with intensively cleansing micro sponges guarantee an extraordinary thorough yet mild cleansing. Effect: Thoroughly  remove all traces of make-up, purify and tone the skin in one step. Alcohol free, the new soft fleece wipes are also suitable for sensitive skin. Result: Deeply purified, your skin looks fresh and clean.  It feels soft and smooth. For every skin type/Ophthalmologically tested, skin compatability, Dermatologically approved

Nivea Visage Soft Facial Cleansing Wipes

     By the way, I tested this for a week and I used this for removing my BB ream, eyebrow powder and eyeliner on my face.

Eyeliner on the upper left corner, BBcream on the middle, lipstick stain on the lower left . Sorry for the blurry pic.

size: 25 wipes

price: 52 php (Around $1.20)

place bought: Tickles, Trinoma

direction for use: pull out one wipe and gently cleanse face and eyes with the micro-sponge fleece. carefully re-seal the pack label after use.

What I like:

• Soft to use and take off most of my makeup.
• I only use 1 sheet for my entire face.
• I can also use this in removing my eyeliner.
• No irritation or breakouts or whatsoever.
• It has a light powdery scent that is not overpowering.
• Manufacturing and expiry date is printed on the packaging.
• Affordable for a 25 pcs. wipes compared to other brands.

What I don't like:

• There is no English translation in the Arabic text at the back of the package.
• There is no product ingredients.
• Not easily accessible, I need to go to Trinoma to buy this and it's a bit far away from where I live.
• I need to wipe my eyelids more than three times to remove my eyeliner so I use baby oil first so I can swipe it only once.

Will I repurchase?Maybe Yes, If my favorite Neutrogena facial wipes is still OOS. 

Recommendation:

     I give this 3.75/5 rating. As for removing dirt and makeup in my face this does the job but you still need to use facial wash to remove traces of makeup. Using this wipes is just an extra step so that your sure you cleanse your face thoroughly then follow your cleanse-tone-moisturize routine before hitting the sack. 

     Do you use facial wipes before washing you face? What brand do you use?

Good Times!~

Haul: Bath Essentials plus Makeup Stuff

     Another haul after visiting Asian Eye Institute at TriNoma. It's crazy that all sales are everywhere! TriNoma is also having a sale of up to 70% till the end of the month. I want to congratulate my self for not spending too much yesterday. Mall sales can be tempting for a cheapskate like me and I have to stop myself from buying because I'm saving for something expensive.

   Anyhoo, I bought 3 soaps from All Organics, a white eyeliner, a body scrub and a substitute for my facial wipes which is OOS again. My favorite facial wipes is Neutrogena. Since I ran out of my wipes, I have to purchase Nivea instead.

L-R: All Organics Calamansi Soap, Papaya with Glutathione Soap, A Bonne' Spa White C Salt,

Shawill Eyeliner and Nivea Visage Cleansing Wipes

     I will be reviewing A Bonne' Spa White C Salt Scrub on my next post. This is my HG body scrub and been using it for more than a year now. I will also share my thoughts on Nivea facial wipes and Shawill eyeliner. I need to practice lining my waterlines before making a review on Shawill eyeliner.

     What's your latest haul?Happy Wednesday everyone!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Nivea Whitening Cell Repair and Protect Body Milk 40x Vitamin C

     Hi dearies! How's your day? First of all, Happy Halloween! Are you ready to visit your loved ones at the cemetery later? By the way, I wanted to ask an apology if I cannot give you good quality pictures here in my blog because my digicam's batteries are not working. So please bear with me, I'm just using my phone's camera and can't stop myself from posting reviews these past few nights. 

     When I ran out of another favorite lotion (Mistine), I opt to substitute Nivea Whitening lotions. It's my first love and will always be :) I know Nivea's range of products grew bigger and bigger nowadays. I can still remember how its container transformed from simple bottles to sexy ones. Even though I use Mistine lotion for more than two years now, Nivea still has a place in my heart. It's my first whitening lotion and I know it does the job with regular use.

     On to the review, I'm about to finish this small bottle of Nivea Whitening Cell Repair and Protect Body Milk 40x Vitamin C. When I saw this on the shelve, I was confused because there's the same bottle of this lotion but doesn't have the vitamin C picture at the bottom of the bottle. So what I did was hold both bottles in my hand and see the difference. Both are whitening and cell repair. The one with berry and licorice extract and the other one with camu camu and acerola cherry extract. I got puzzled so i bought the latter. 

Nivea Whitening Cell Repair and Protect
Specially developed for the needs of Asian skin, offers concentrated whitening from nature for fairer and radiant skin. Its 40 times higher antioxidant Vitamin C concentration protects skin from the harmful effects of the sun even with normal sun exposure.

price: 129php (Around $3.00)

place bought: Sm Supermarket, Watson's Health and Beauty Store, Robinson's Supermarket, all leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide

instructions for use: spread the lotion all over the body, I use it after taking a bath in the morning.

Nivea Whitening Cell Repair and Protect Body Milk
2nd to the smallest size

Nivea Whitening Cell Repair and Protect Body Milk
 The consistency is runny

What I like:

• Affordable.
• Since it has a runny consistency, the lotion is absorbed faster.
• It is very light and non-greasy.
• The shape of the bottle is sexy compared to other lotion bottles.
• Moisturizes my skin feels, soft and smooth after use.
• Has UV protection.
• The scent is a bit powdery but not overpowering.
•  Lightens and evens out skin, I think after using it for more than 3 months.

What I don't like:

• None

Will I repurchase? Yes! I always have a stock of this in my cabinet. I use this as a backup when I ran out of Mistine lotion. Both are effective, I have this notion of not using a lotion for more than three months because I don't want a plateau effect on whitening so I use it alternately after two or three months.

Recommendation:

     I give this lotion a 5/5 rating. I love Nivea and how it lightens my skin. I can attest to its lightening effect because I've been using it for years. If you want to try a whitening lotion that is affordable, then Nivea is the one your looking for. But results is not just 1-2-3, you have to be patient and use it religiously.

     Have you tried the new Nivea Whitening lotion? What Nivea lotion do you use? Share your thoughts!

Good Times!~
