Okay, so a deo that promises to level up its moisturizing properties (it avoids chicken skin!) and also helps whiten your underarms (I super need this). I have been using Nivea deos for a long time and it works well in controlling sweat and odor. 

I can't wait to go buy one and try this for myself... I think I'll grab the Q10 first. ;)

Cheers,

Nivea: In-Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner

Hello Ladies,

Nivea's Big Sale just ended and I was barely able to get my hands on my favorite Nivea lotion, Nivea's Intensive Moisture lotion. It was also around this time that I made a post as to why Nivea had become my no. 1 go to product for dry skin weather (see http://peachypinksisters.blogspot.com/2014/05/big-nivea-may-sale.html) and this new product just made me all the more a big Nivea fan.

As you would've noticed, summer these past years are much hotter (not warm, oh no) than what it used to 10 - 20 years ago. As I have mentioned before, this is quite trouble some for dry skinned individuals, as it requires us to put on lotion almost 3 times a day just to keep our skin from cracking or getting itchy. But then sometimes, you're just too lazy to put lotion on after you get out of the bath... or you're just too much in a hurry to remember applying it. OR, it feels just TOO sticky and heavy on the skin in this humidity.

And it is exactly that last reason why I decided to try Nivea's In-Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner. I saw the commercial sometime while I was browsing through channels and it was just so appealing that as soon as I saw the product sitting on top of Watson's Nivea Big Sale booth, I grabbed it.

So here's a bit of product information for you.

Nivea actually has a more detailed description of the product with about 16 commonly asked questions and their answers which you can access here which links you to the UK website.

So, I just super love this product. I apply after I scrub/soap and rinse my body down then rinse it off afterwards and the skin just feels amazingly smooth, silky, soft, and light. You'd really feel refreshed. It's even more refreshing than just using a simple moisturizing soap. My skin feels well hydrated throughout the day. 

I've been using ONLY the In-Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner for a week and it has solved my snake skin legs problem. Here's a picture of my supposedly snake skin legs, even my other trouble areas have been well moisturized.

It kind of makes a lot of sense to do your moisturizing while you're in the shower. Some of you might say why not just apply your lotion there? Well, the problem with that is, drying time for lotion is longer when you apply it on wet skin. Also, some people, people like me, tend to have reservations about applying lotion on some areas of the body... and this kind of rinse of lotion just somehow solves that, I think.

So I really just wanted to share with you this product because I feel like it's such a genius invention/innovation. I hope you test it out as well and if you're already using it, do share your thoughts on it here.

Cheers,

Big Nivea May Sale

Good evening ladies,

So I'm a little bit late in telling you guys about Nivea's Big Sale this May and it's less than 4 days before it is officially over. Still, better late than never, because I myself am going to try to catch up with this sale since I've had quite a really great Nivea skin care experience, which I would like to share with you.

Last time, we received these Nivea lotions in their new Eco-friendly bottles and I just started using them this month.

Remember when I told you that I have really dry skin? Well, if I haven't then I'm telling you right now, I do. Here's a picture of the top of my foot, which is the driest part of my skin. It's flaky-ish, kind of cracked, and really dry (my legs on the other hand have a semi permanent snake skin pattern on them if you look closely because of the dryness).

Summer and the "-ber" months are the worst time of the year for my skin as they tend to be the driest. But summer by far is my most hated since the heat makes it impossible for me to get myself to put on lotion. As you all know, lotion feels super sticky and heavy on the skin, and the humidity and temperature in our country amplifies that uncomfortable feeling. Hence, I end up with really really cracked skin.

So with this dilemma, I used Nivea's Intensive Moisture Lotion. Right of the bottle, all I can say is that, for an intensive care lotion, the consistency is amazing. It's not heavy and not greasy. In fact, it's as light as putting water over your legs. It dries on the skin quick but does not feel like it simply evaporated, rather it feels like the skin slurped (if that can be an appropriate term) or sipped up the lotion. In as far as I can understand lotions, intensive care ones have the most emollients to help trap in water hence making them more heavy or greasy. But this one did not feel like that at all. Thus my summer lotion dabbing routine was not stopped, in fact, it made me so happy to put the lotion on, I go and put it one twice a day (cause I'm really lazy and I only do it once and in the evening).

All three lotions promised one thing, you see results in a matter of 1-2 weeks. So, did I see any? Well, I did... Here's a picture of the same foot after two weeks. See how the snaky, flaky skin disappeared? The rest of my legs also feel quite smooth and supple (almost invisible snake skin pattern on my legs.) And when I do that run-your-nails-over-your-skin to test for dryness, there is no white flaked marks that are left.

So I am very much happy with the results that Nivea has given me. It has surpassed any body lotion (that isn't Cetaphil or Physiogel) or butter that I have so far used for my skin.

My sister has used the Extra Whitening and Cell Repair & Protect one and she's told me that it has improved the color of her skin especially the dark marks left by scars. She said that it has indeed helped in speeding up the healing process with her wound on the legs. Also, she also loves the light, water-like consistency of the lotion.

So that is it for my Nivea testimonial. I will make sure to stock up on a lot of those Nivea Intensive Moisture lotions while the supplies last. Hope you can catch up on them too.

Cheers,

Nivea Products Now in New, Eco-friendly Bottles

Hello everyone!

I'm happy to share with you that one of my favorite skincare brands, Nivea, has a new bottle design! I'm compiling some of their press releases in this post so you can also know what's new about Nivea and their products!

 100 YEARS OF TRUSTED CARE NOW IN A NEW BOTTLE 

SMOOTH TOUCHABLE SKIN IS ALWAYS IN STYLE 

Every brand has a story to tell, and NIVEA started its own more than 100 years ago. The brand was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1911, launching the world’s first stable water-in-oil emulsion that makes the perfect cosmetic skin cream for all skin types. But it was not until 1925 when the world was introduced to the iconic blue tin known as the NIVEA Crème – making it one of the most successful products of all time. 

More than its skincare expertise, NIVEA also takes pride in its resilience through the decades, as it continually creates connections with different age groups. It was probably the scent, or perhaps the velvety texture of its iconic Crème which resonates strongly with people of different generations. 

NIVEA, the world’s number one skincare brand, has touched the lives and skin of millions of Filipinos, now reveals a fresher, more youthful look in its all-new packaging, signifying that a smooth, touchable skin is always in style. 

The blue tin as the new logo 

With the goal of strengthening its brand recognition through a familiar face, NIVEA decided to adapt the design of its best-selling and most-iconic NIVEA Crème product and restyled the blue tin to form the new brand logo. The brand has also banked on how the blue tin has been globally associated with superior care, quality, and trust. 

This year, NIVEA Body revamps itself, with a guarantee that 100 years of trusted care is still present in its new bottles. Through the years, NIVEA Body has remained committed to providing the best quality in skin moisturizing products. The brand also supports and provides for the need of users who know and believe that confidence begins with beautiful skin. 

“As a prominent and innovative global skincare brand, NIVEA recognizes the need to continuously adapt to changes over time and the latest trends in skincare, beauty, fashion, and even mindset. A new look is a starting point to showcase not only our products but also the values we stand for,” shares Alexander Schwieger, Country Manager for NIVEA Philippines. 

The Zeitgeist of skincare 

Being around for more than 100 years has made the brand witness to evolving trends and lifestyles of the world, allowing them to produce at least 80,000 print ads, 50,000 products, 7,000 films and over 50,000 photos. Creating a rich history of cultural diversities and transforming an insight on how the world has viewed beauty and style, the NIVEA way. 

“Our brand has connected to millions of people because we create an avenue that they can relate to – and it is through our advertising efforts. They see a reflection of themselves in our ads and films; they have been well represented. That is our relevance to our consumers. We have inculcated how being confident with the way you look is truly a NIVEA style,” adds Alex. 

Style that only comes with NIVEA care 

A proprietary feature of many NIVEA products is the revolutionary moisturizing ingredient, Hydra IQ Technology, a unique component found in all NIVEA Body lotions. This breakthrough formula activates the skin’s water channels to enhance its natural moisturization for more than 24 hours. Only NIVEA body targets to repair dry, dull, and sun-damaged skin, where continued use and application results in smooth, supple, and nourished skin starting from the deepest levels of the epidermis. 

“For over a hundred years of NIVEA’s strong presence in the global market, we have always shown that we evolve along with our customers’ needs. We develop, we innovate, because we care. Despite years of changes, our priority is always in style –to care for everyone’s skin, as if they were our own,” further adds Schwieger. 

 NIVEA BODY ROLLS OUT NEW LOOK WITH ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING 

CREATING SUSTAINABLE BOTTLE DESIGN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 

Beiersdorf tied up with celebrated industrial designer, Yves Behar, and his award winning firm fuseproject to create a new design language that unifies the look and feel of the world’s number one skincare brand, NIVEA. The multiple award-winning industrial designer is committed to developing products that aren’t just functional, but which also enhance the consumer experience and appeal to their emotions - making it more prominent and easily recognizable on the store shelf. 

NIVEA aims to use the new design language to reconnect with trusted consumers and forge relationships with new ones using a cohesive, holistic design that is striking and contemporary, yet anchored in NIVEA’s storied heritage. 

Thus, this October, NIVEA Body rolled out its new logo along with its new bottle packaging across its entire product line. It is targeted to relay messages of stronger brand recognition and economic sustainability. 

 To further enhance the brand’s emotional connection with its consumers, Behar took inspiration from the iconic blue tin of the NIVEA Crème, adapted its look, and restyled it to become the all-new NIVEA brand logo. This also emphasizes how consumers have associated the brand with skincare expertise, quality, and trust through the years. 

Beyond its new design, NIVEA is proud of its new bottle packaging, which was made to be sustainable and environment-friendly. Now in a sleeker finish, every NIVEA Body lotion bottle is made lighter than before. It uses only 15% plastic, and is 100% recyclable - so it’s a choice you can feel good about every time you use NIVEA! 

 NIVEA Body’s new design and function directives exhibit how the brand extends its efforts in taking care of the skin to caring for the environment. To get attuned to its users worldwide, NIVEA Body remains committed to developing innovative products that continuously address the consumers’ evolving lifestyle. But no matter what style is in season, the end result remains the same – NIVEA Body effectively repairs dry, dull, and sun damaged skin by keeping skin moisturized - faster, deeper, and longer. 

Don't you just love it when the brands you support do awesome things like this? Nivea is now a classic brand but still continues to innovate and deliver better products from the inside (products itself) to the outside (bottle designs).

Last Thursday, I got this in the mail:

And I can honestly agree that the new designs look better and more hip for today's consumers.

 And the new logo rocks! I'm a big fan of their blue tins! That cream product is the bomb when it comes to moisturizing the skin (I even use it on my feet to soften them from the calluses). 

I'm happy with all the changes, Nivea, especially the more eco-friendly part. I'm glad you keep on improving and giving us quality and affordable products! :D

Nivea Lemon Grass and Oil Creme Soap

Good evening ladies,

I've long used up this product and have only found now to do the review on it.

Nivea is my go-to brand for deodorant and sunscreen, I never knew they had soap products until Dawn told me that they sent one to us. So, since the product is lemongrass, and at the time I was crazy for anything that had a citrus smell for soaps, I went and tried the product.

The smell is amazing by the way. It brings with it that refreshing feeling with the scent. Though it does not last the whole day, nor does it stick to the skin. I have this habit of smelling my arms when I'm using a fragrant soap so I'm aware that I do smell like the soap, so it kind of disappointed me that the smell didn't linger.

As for the moisture part, I have to say it's passable. I have dry skin to start with, so any soap that does not worsen it's condition, I give an average mark on moisture. I thought it would have helped decrease the dryness and thus I could let myself be lazy on putting lotion on my arms and legs.

Although I think this particular soap is no longer available in stores. I'm not really sure, but it definitely is not in Nivea's website's product listing.

Well, that's all for tonight.

Cheers,

LIZ

NIVEA SUN opens summer, calls you to embrace the sun & enjoy your tan (Press Release)

Planning to get a tan this coming summer (I know it's 3 months away, but the earlier you know, the better, right?)? Then you might like to read this press release from Nivea about their product that gives you protection while you stay under the sun to get that bronzed goddess skin! It'll be available by February!

Protection or tan? Have both, without compromise.

With every start of the year comes the unrelenting excitement of what’s ahead – and nothing is more enticing than to just sit back, relax, and be at your most carefree state while lounging by the beach. Because summertime is just around the corner, the thoughts of your feet brushing against the sand, your toes touching the water, and your skin basking in the sun, brings about freedom and sheer happiness.

This pleasure is shared by the world’s number 1 suncare brand, NIVEA SUN, as it officially kicks off summer with its new product that is set to revolutionize the way you tan. If you think that tanning and sunscreen protection do not mesh well together, NIVEA SUN shows you that it can, and proves that you can freely embrace the sun, without worry or compromise.

The all-new NIVEA SUN Protect & Bronze is specifically designed to let you take the utmost delight in basking under the sun for that even, beautiful tan. You get a sunscreen that works with the skin’s natural tanning process by stimulating melanin production, all while caring for the skin with immediate and optimum UV protection in one bottle!

“This is a product that took years of extensive research, and we were inspired by the natural tanning process of the skin, while protecting it against sun damage and UV radiation. Now, you can get a naturally even, beautiful tan without risking sun damage anymore.” explains Jon Lee, Assistant Brand Manager for NIVEA SUN.

Alex Schwieger, NIVEA Philippines’ Country Manager, adds, “This is the first-ever sunscreen in the market that can stimulate the skin’s natural tanning process, and at the same time enhance its built-in protective mechanism because of melanin production. And we couldn’t be any more proud with this breakthrough.”

Sun worshippers can now enjoy the best of both worlds – tanning and sun protection, because NIVEA SUN Protect & Bronze protects you against sun damage and premature skin aging. It is equipped with special UV filters that provide instant protection against harmful UVA and UVB radiation immediately, as you enjoy your subtle glowing tan.

The best part is, it contains no artificial colorants or bronzing agents. Because it naturally works with your skin’s own tanning process, your tan will look natural, even and beautiful. So just go and flaunt that glowing bronzed tan as you show off your skin with NIVEA SUN Protect & Bronze.

NIVEA SUN Protect & Bronze Spray SPF20 200ml is priced at an SRP of P599.00 and will be available by February 2014 in all leading department stores, drug stores and supermarkets.

A Shopping List for Everyone on Your Christmas List (Press Release)

Hello everyone!

Still thinking of what to give your loved ones this Christmas? Here's a press release that gives you some great options from well-known brands!

It’s once again the season of giving! No other time in the year do people spend more time (and money!) carefully thinking and purchasing gifts for the ones they love. And while it is fun to receive gifts, a lot of people would agree in saying that this season was really meant for “giving” rather than “receiving.” So for those of you who wish to give the best, here are a few gift ideas to get you started.

For The Perfect Couple

Couples are one of the trickiest people to give gifts to. Do we give them food? Do we give them something for the house or something they can use together? Solve the couple dilemma by giving them something that symbolizes their “couplehood” and yet something they can use even when they’re apart.

The Retro Sneaker Collection from Crocs would definitely be a winner among your couple friends. With enthusiastic colors, couples would not only enjoy dressing alike, but also enjoy the comfort that Crocs has long been known for. The Retro Sneaker Collection is perfect for getaways or even casual dinners during weekends. It is available at P4800 at all Crocs Concept Stores.

For The Boys in Your Life

Give the boys in your life something to get excited about this Christmas by giving them the latest in men’s athletic footwear from the country’s number one sports retailer, Toby’s Sports.

Give them a chance to live the dream with the latest from Nike: The Lebron XI, Jordan Superfly 2, the KD 6, and the Kobe 8. The men in your life would definitely appreciate being in a basketball superstar’s shoes, even just for a day.

For Mom, Ate, & Our Favorite Aunt

Help the ladies you love take care of their skin with Nivea. Your mom would definitely enjoy staying young with Nivea’s Deep Cleansing Mud Foam. Eliminating dirt at its core, the Deep Cleansing Mud Foam is formulated to clear 10 make-up residues that gives anyone who uses it the much-coveted clear and bright skin.

Your beach-loving Ate would definitely enjoy Nivea’s UV Whitening Body Serum. The first of its kind in the Philippines, it promises to not just whiten skin, but to also repair sun damage and protect it from darkening. Now, your Ate can have fun in the sun without hiding from it.

Your Tita can now wow both in the boardroom and the lunch room with a fashionable pair of Butterfly Twists. Designed for the on-the-go woman, Butterfly Twists is the right mix of style & comfort that’s perfect for every working woman. Their Sienna Collection would definitely be a great complement for the power-dressing Filipina.

With all these choices, it will definitely be a happy Christmas, not just for everyone on your list, but for you as well.

Happy Christmas, everyone! :D
