NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

I admit - the pearly shine claims sucked me in, and I was looking for an affordably priced lip balm to keep in the car, so I picked this up... and decided very quickly that despite the claims and the price, it wasn't for me.

The balm looked terrible on my lips. The colour wasn't right, and I probably ought to have thought through 'pearly shine' a bit more. Shine, yes, I love shine. Pearly? Turns out it's not for me.

As for moisturising, it was okay. Not great. Certainly not mind blowing. I'll stick to Carmex.

I found this product really did 'shine' perhaps a bit too much for my liking as an everyday lip balm. It does come in a nice twist-up stick and I felt it absorbed into my lips nourishing them nicely. However, it didn't give me the soft feeling described.

I have been a fan of this Pearly Shine lip balm for over 2 decades now. I have recently purchased this after remembering how much I loved it and had struggled to find it in the past. It was almost instant nostalgia! Except with a new twist, the scent! Originally (And I'm talking 1999/2000) this must have had a very subtle, creamy scent. Now it's kind of like a strawberry scent which I feel is an added bonus! It definitely gives my very dark pink lips a lovely light pink pearly shine. Only negative I will mention is that I'm not sure if I would use this if I had sore or very dry lips. Plus the stick is so big, it's a little awkward to use and the lid sometimes slips off.

Was super disappointed with this Nivea lip care product after really enjoying some of there other products. The colour was far more white than I expected, the product cakes onto your lips and exaggerates any lines or cracks in them making your lips looks worst unless they are in immaculate condition already. I didn't find that it improved my lip condition at all. I ended up using this as a shimmer on top of other products which wasn't what I bought it for. I wouldn't bother buying it again.

my god, just seeing this tube brings back awful memories!! i remember using it religiously as a teen and my god i regret it!!

i always hated the lid as it always fell off in my bag and the lippy would be covered in god knows what because a teenagers bag is a mystery.

the color that came off was a pinky creamy sheen and knowing me i liked to layer on nice and thick. nasty gal. it didnt last long, it didnt taste nice, it wasnt moisturizing and frankly i just did not like it. i definitely would not repurchase haha not even for a trip down memory land!

I like the subtle colour/pearly shine, and I do find the Nivea chapsticks to be of more use than, say, Baby Lips. When my lips are really in trouble I won’t reach for this product, though. It’s sort of great for a bit of gloss and shine, but won’t soothe proper chapped lips.

I love lip balms and have tried everything out there. I usually don't mind nivea products but this was a bit of a miss for me. It comes in a standard wind up tube and I paid around $4 for it.

I don't wear lipstick as my lips are super thin and it just looks a bit ridiculous on me. Well in my opinion anyway. So I thought this could add a subtle bit of colour. It goes on ok but in terms of moisturising my lips I feel like it does nothing. It just kind of sits on top of them, definitely gives me no relief.

Now for the pearly shimmer.......it looks silver/pale pinkish and looks absolutely terrible with my pale skin tone. It looks super frosty and accentuated my dry lips. It has a weird taste too it, almost like sunscreen.  This is a total fail for me,  the best place for this is in the bin. If you want something moisturising then Blistex is the way to go.

This used to be my go to lip balm a while a go. I would wear it if I had sore lips or if I wanted to add a bit of color. It wasn't the best at repairing my lips but it did look good. Its really affordable and lasts for quite a long time. To me its got quite a chemically taste to it if you accidentally get some on your teeth. I personally think that there are better lip balms out there

A lip balm that has a slight pearly shimmer to it. It was fairly moisturizing but not as much as others that I've tried. Was kind of expecting more shine from this.
