NIVEA MICELLAR SKIN BREATHE REVIEW

Nivea Micellar Skin Breathe Water is one of the most raved cleanser lately. A lot of beauty b/vloggers added this in their skin care routine. Is it really effective?

I have been using this for how many months now and I can say that it lessen the skin bumps on my face and effectively removes some oil on my skin. The first time I used it, I was surprised that it doesn't have any strong smell and I didn't feel any tightness on my face.

ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE'S DESCRIPTION

NIVEA Daily Essentials Caring Micellar Cleansing Water was specially formulated as a fast, effective and caring cleanser and make-up remover. It contains microscopic cleansing agents known as micelles. Micelles help remove make-up, even waterproof eye make-up and mascara. The technology of Micellar Water allows the removal of oil and other impurities from the skin in a flash.

The best Micellar Water will deeply cleanse the skin in one easy step while also gently moisturising. Because of the innovative technology, it is very mild yet highly effective. Use Micellar Water with a single cotton pad without any need for rinsing off or rubbing. It will leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed.

PACKAGING

The packaging is so simple - product is in a blue bottle with a white cap. It has Nivea's logo and "MicellAIR Skin Breathe, Acne Clear, 0% alcohol" information on it. However, ingredients, benefits, and method on how to apply are written at the back.

I bought this 125mL for P99.00

MY THOUGHTS?

After my first try, I felt my face relieved and freshen. Given that I have a lot of pimples, when I applied it, I didn't feel any poignant and tightness. It really has no alcohol content in the product which is a big check for me.

This cleanser is so perfect for those people who are putting a heavy make up because it really removes the product in your face and helps in freshening up. Aside from that, this effectively works on sensitive skin because it has Vitamin E and Natural Almond Oil that soothe and provides moisture. There are 3 types of Nivea Micellar Water depending on the skin types.

To sum it all, I totally recommend this product to you. This perfectly prevents skin bumps, soften your face after a long day, and clearly removes dirt on your face. In additional, the price is budget-friendly for students.

How I Edit My Instagram Photos (Pastel Feed) + Tips + Preset Giveaway

PASTEL FEED TUTORIAL

It's finally here! These past few weeks, I often get a message on instagram asking the filter that I used on my photos and how I do it. If you're one of them, just keep on reading...

I also had a poll on my instagram stories yesterday and it seems like you guys are excited to know on how I edit my photos. But before that, I'm gonna give some tips on how you'll achieve a good quality photo.

P.S: I have a Nadine-inspired preset giveaway at the end of this blog.

1. Lighting is life!

If you want to take a good, clean photo you must use natural lightning. Avoid using too much sunlight because this gives a yellow tone which I really really dislike. You can take a photo outside or use an artificial light (take note: white light).

2. Style and Location

It's very important to know your style. This will be your edge from others. For me, I always look for an inspiration on instagram or pinterest and save them afterwards. Moreover, you do not need to go to an expensive restaurant just to have a good food flatlay or picture. You can find a lot of instagrammable places that are less expensive. Money is not necessary, having a creative mind is.

3. Camera

You don't need an expensive camera just to have a good photo. Oppo and Huawei are two of the most raved phones by bloggers because of it's camera quality. Adjust the settings of your camera that perfectly suits the actual image you want to be taken. You can take as much as you want and choose the nicest photo you took.

4. Be Creative

It doesn't really matter if you are in a high-class restaurant and has an expensive camera. Anyone can express themselves through photography using a natural lighting, simple background, and cellphones. Being creative is the key to a successful instagram feed. You can have a lot of inspirations, but you have to make your own version.

Step 1. Download Adobe Lightroom CC (Available to all Android, IOS, and desktop)

Step 2. Upload a photo you want to edit.

Step 3. Click light. Adjust the exposure to 0.73 (depends on the phot0), tone down the contrast and highlights. Make the shadow to +20, lower down the whites, and adjust the blacks to +20.

Step 4. Go to color. Adjust the temperature to +20, tint to +10, and vibrance to +20.

Step 5. Click the mixing color palette on the upright corner. Play with the colors of your photo and decide if what it suits the most. You just have to use the first six colors to adjust. Always remember not to include any strong green and red because these colors may ruin the photo.

Additional tip (Optional):

You can download Planoly app on Playstore or Appstore to make sure that the photo you are going to upload will match the theme of your feed.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

imkaryllecastro October 19, 2018 0 Comments

I have been using this cleanser for almost a 2 months now but I didn't have a chance to put up a review about it since I'm busy with school. When I visited my dermatologist, she told me that I have hormonal imbalance which is the reason why I'm prone to pimples. She asked me to try Cetaphil cleanser if it's effective on me.

Curious on my thoughts about this cleanser? Keep reading.

According to the website's description:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a mild, non-irritating formulation that soothes skin as it cleans. In fact, it's gentle enough for baby's delicate skin. Designed specifically to work for all skin types, it is a simple, yet highly effective way to are for your skin.
It is their best seller and fan favorite.
As gentle as it gets - soothes and cleanses, leaving skin smooth and soft.
Mild, soap-free formula cleanses without irritation - it won't strip skin of it's natural protective oils or emollients.
Moisturizes without leaving residue that can clog pores.

The size that I got is 118 mL and costs P320.00. I was surprised when I found out that it was scentless and doesn't feel heavy on my skin. I thought I was only gonna use it for weeks but surprisingly, it's almost 2 months given that I only used half of it yet.

PACKAGING
The packaging is just a simple white bottle and has Cetaphil's logo in front with informations about the product including the benefits, directions, and ingredients. Although the packaging is simple, it is still raved by a lot of people because of it's effectiveness.

THOUGHTS
After few days of trying it, I noticed that my pimples dried quickly and prevented it's appearance. Also, it doesn't foam unlike other cleanser. It's claim of not clogging pores was actually true. You won't feel any tightness on your face after usage.

I love this cleanser, really. This is so perfect to those people who only wants a simple skin care routine and sensitive to strong products. As for the price, it's very worth it for the quality.

But for those people who are fond of using heavy make ups, this cleanser is not enough to remove the products you used.

Now I know why it is raved by most beauty bloggers. What are you waiting for? Try it now before everyone does.
