NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

I'm not a huge fan of this lip balm. I prefer baby lips. I wasn't really disappointed when I lost my stick of this product. It made my lips dry so I had to keep using it but it did provide moisture for a few hours at a time.

This "lip care" let me down. I thought I'd try it out because I liked the idea of having a pearly glow while taking care of my lips. Nope! There was a pearly shine, but it was the kind of chalky shine that I used to experience when messing around with $2 shop glosses etc when I was 8! And it really didn't do anything for my dry lips. If anything it made them worse, and with the chalkyness of the texture once dry, I was not a happy camper.

I used to wear this all the time when I was in my early teens, but I recently repurchased this the other day, hoping I would still love it.

Nope. Yuck. Honestly, what was I thinking? It is so frosty and shiny that it makes my lips look almost reflective. Plus, it's not moisturising at all. Pretty much every lip balm out there is better than this, to be honest..

Really disliked this product and ended up throwing it out. I found it was not mosturising at all and the colour was a little 'tacky' on the lips - as in it makes you like like you are a blast from an 80's past! There are better quality balms out there so I would not buy again.

I was so keen to try this lip balm, every girl loves a good lip balm right!

Sadly very let down. It certainly looks the part and is very pretty but I didn't find it moisturised my lips at all. It actually made them fell even more dried out..which in turn made the shimmer look horrible on dried lips.

The colour is pretty but I wouldn't say it is conditioning at all

I love Nivea lip balms, and I love lip stick, this was possibly the best idea I came across until I actually used it.

Firstly about the colour - Now I like to think that I'm that lucky person where every single lipstick colour suits me, and not to toot my own horn, but I'm not wrong there. That is until I used this. It has a pinky-nude almost coral colour to it with excessive, excessive amounts of shimmer. Not a fan of the shimmer aside, the colour made me look like a potato with makeup on. The colour made my skin appear yellower, not to mention my teeth! Crazy shade!

Then of course there is the moisturising aspect to it. Yup it feels wonderful when you first apply it. Silky smooth on the lips. But that happens to last only 10 minutes before my lips dry, crack and split. I find my self picking skin off my lips that are falling of like dried scabs. This has dried my lips out so much that my lips have actually started bleeding on two different occasions when I've worn this.

Definetly do not recommend. It is such a let down.

I absolutely hated this product. I'm really into the tinted lip balms and such now, but this was the first thing I'd ever tried of that sort of product. The colour was basically non-existent, it didn't moisturize my lips AT ALL, if anything it dried them out even worse. Also the shimmer feels awful on the lips. The stick itself was also very dry and hard to apply. Absolutely wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Packaging is durable and good, a sturdy standard plastic lippy case with your standard lid that clicks on and off. The product itself has an alright not so overwhelming scent. For me the product itself was not moisturizing at all, waxy and thick when applied and was not pearly or shiny for me, and it just felt heavy for me to wear for an extended amount of time. It does have a sort of pink sheen to it but I would recommend you wear a lip balm before applying this if you have dry lips because if you apply it to your dry/chapped lips on its own it sort of clump up and it will not look good at all,. Easy to find at local supermarket and cheap but not for everyone.

Terrible lip balm: -did not moisturise -had a terribly dull colour -in fact, there was no colour at all -the shimmer was very uncomfortable and awkward on the lips (did anyone else get that strange sheen?)

The only thing it had going for it was the sturdy packaging
