The Cosmo Girl experience isn't just what you see online. We bring it to you IRL, too—like when we go to your campuses! And we bring with us all the fun and the freebies, so you can take a quick break from all those loooong hours in the lib poring over your readings and papers. For this installment of the Cosmo Campus Playground, we partnered with NIVEA so you can pamper yourself (and your skin!) despite your v busy school schedule.

Everyone got tickets to this year's Cosmo Campus Playground with NIVEA.

We dropped by ADMU, DLSU, Miriam, and UST this time around, but who knows, maybe we'll be taking over your campus v soon! *wink*

What Went Down At

The Cosmo Campus Playground 2025 with NIVEA

We got our game on.

What's a playground without games? *double eyes emoji* We brought in some fun activities for everyone who dropped by to try.

The Catch The Extra Bright Power game tasked players to catch the NIVEA skin beads within 15 seconds. The successful girls who played took home a mirror, and even luckier winners took home some swag from NIVEA.

And if they wanted to make their blemishes vanish (felt and valid!), the Breakout Battle booth was the perfect spot to release to their frustrations. The Whac-a-Mole-inspired game had people smashing the blemishes (a.k.a. the frogs!) for the chance to bring home a NIVEA Headband and a NIVEA Derma Skin Clear set.

We took pics for the 'gram at the photo and mirror wall.

We can never have a Cosmo takeover without a cute photo spot! But it wasn't just your regular photo wall. We came through with mirrors galore, so all of your cute angles were caught in the camera. Anyone who posted their photo online was automatically included in the raffle, where three lucky winners at each school took home the special "NIVEA is for SKIN" gift.

The Cosmo Cart came rolling in, too!

One of the highlights of the event was our Cosmo Cart itself, where you can check out NIVEA's products and try them out yourself!

And right around the Cosmo Cart, you can play another game where two players go head to head to line up the NIVEA Derma Skin Clear products in the correct order. The first one to place each skincare step in its correct spot took home a NIVEA product to help them achieve glowing, clear skin. *sparkle emoji*

There's still six months left to the year, so which campus should we take over next?

This Cosmo Campus Playground was brought to you by NIVEA.
