NIVEA Lip Care Strawberry Shine Review

I used to always carry these around with me. They smelled of (synthetic) strawberries and gave the lips a red tint. And of course coming in a wind up tube meant they were far more convenient to take out and about than a tub you had to stick your fingers into.

Of course, being a lip balm, the colour doesn't last more than an hour or two.And I'd find myself often reapplying them to keep my lips hydrated.

While these were convenient. I have now replaced them with a less synthetic smelling lip balm, which also has a slightly more natural tint to it. But these are a great affordable product and I would consider using them again when I need a replacement lip balm, especially since they're so assessible across the country.

Didn't feel like it really did much for my dry lips and didn't like the colour it left. Pretty average product. Will stick to blistex. Will not repurchase again.

I loved the fact that this product smelled of Strawberries. It also left a little tint of red on my lips. This was fine when my lips werent too damaged, but when my lips were really badly chapped, the colour was uneven and seemed orange-y? It helped to moisturize my lips as long as I reapplied it a lot, as my lips were VERY dry. I would recommend this product, wish it tasted of strawberry too though!

I found this on sale at The Warehouse a while ago and decided to try it out, but I'm not really that impressed with it. I had higher expectations for this but unfortunately I just don't like it at all.

The packaging is good and simple, classic NIVEA packaging - twist up tube, very durable. It has a nice design and logo on a red cap, which I like. It holds a lot of product which is great considering the price is good.

The product itself is bright red in the tube, and you can see the glitters. Once you have used this balm a bit the glitters look a bit gritty in the tube. The product is not very moisturizing, but it does give your lips a pinky-red tint which is glossy and sparkly. It doesn't last long either, I have to reapply every hour or so because my lips feel dry.

I won't be buying this again, I feel there are better NIVEA lip balms that are the same price as this one and moisturize my lips better.

I'm not sure if it's just cause they have changed the packaging but I can't work out the one I always used to get.

It's in a pretty red container that goes up easily and down so it's easy to use. It smells AMAZING I'm a big fan of fruity products especially berry (the peach one also smells amazing)

I don't find they work overly well but they are handing to have in the bottom of your bag and easily to grab cause they are normally at the check out.

They feel nice when you put them on but then I don't tend to notice it much and feel like I am forever putting them on when I have nothing else around. The do tint your lips a little.

I was a long term user of this product - until recently. I found that it made my lips very sensitive, and the more I used it, the more I needed to use it. As a result, my lips ended up very red, sore, and burnt. It took several days of using an alternative, natural product for them to heal.

This isn't my favourite product but it isn't the worst. Wouldn't buy again. Didn't do anything to my lips. Didn't like the colour it put on my lips.

Niveas easily accessible in most new zealand stores. During the summer period I picked one of these up at Countdown. Sometimes they have lip products at check out. I popped one of these into my trolley. Needed a quick pick me up for my dry dehydrated lips.

This balm comes in a 4.8 gram bottle. Its sized perfectly to fit into your pocket or handbag. This casing is a bright red with the nivea labelling on it. Its easy to wind up and wind down. Its texture is like a balm. Perfectly scented with Strawberry flavour. Has a slight redish pink tint colouring to this balm. It does have a slight shimer shine in this.

I find this balm simple to apply to my lips. I find it did temporarily hydrate my lips. I did need to keep applying especially with eating and drinking. It does come off easily.

These lip balms are affordable to buy. I would like to see some spf added into these lip balms for added protection. Like most balms I expect to keep applying them. These would make great stocking fillers for young girls. I would definately purchase these again as a gift.

I am huge fan of Nivea moisturiser. I was really young since that time I am using it. Always keen to try something different in Nivea range. I used all Nivea lip balm and mostly I like no any complaints. I think this is great lip balm if you want to nice light red shimmering lips. Great for natural looking red lips. When I don't want to wearing makeup that time BB cream and thi lip balm give me nice natural look. Lip balm also provide long lasting moisturiser and colour too.

I bought this strawberry flavoured lip product from The Warehouse quite a while ago, and can't remember what it cost!

It comes in a bright red screw up container - just like a lipstick.

The product looks very red but is only a subtle red shine on my lips once I apply it. It has a subtle cherry smell which I can't taste once I've applied it.

The product claims " to make your lips delicious, kissing them with a fruity-fresh strawberry taste. This lip balm covers your lips with glossy shine, over a subtle, red-toned glow". Well, it doesn't have any taste to match the smell, but as for the subtle red-toned glow, I'd say that's true enough. It says the rich Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter keep your lips smooth, soft and with a hint of colour. That's quite true, as long as you reapply regularly. The product is nice and smooth when applied, but the effect stops once it absorbs.

Overall this is a good product, but there are others of the same type and price that are better. I'm ambivalent really, I may buy it again, particularly if I saw it on special.
