NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

Im a lip balm hoarder since teenage years, and Ive used and owned many great Nivea lip balms. This was the first pearly lip balm I had ever purchased and was excited to see how this product would work with my dry lips. I purchased the Nivea lip care from New World for $6, it comes in a great tube that is easy to remove and secures on tightly after every use. It smells like light petroleum and has a tinge of shimmer to the formula, it is easy to apply to the lips, the formula is a little hard to apply but once the product is warm it glides on like a charm. It isn't sticky and keeps your lips soft thru the day. I like to use this lip care as a base for if Im wearing just a lipgloss, it makes the lip gloss last longer and gives it added shimmer to my lips. My 4 year old daughter loves to use this as it makes her feel like a big girl without the colour of a lipstick.

I would recommend this lip care to everyone, it gives your lips a beautiful but subtle shimmer to your lips while conditioning and hydrating your lips.

I bought this by accident (the accident was that I didnt realise it was pearly!)

Firstly, Nivea lip balms have such a great feel and texture. I really love them over say, a Chapstick.

I honestly didn't like the pearl, though. It made my lips look pale, and no one needs pale lips. Sure, they were sparkly close up, but if you are not getting into someones personal space then they will just do a double take at your face!

I really like these Nivea lip balms - they make my lips super soft and smooth.

They are easy to use, apply nicely and come in a handy tube that closes securely. I have had many balms that open in my bag and get all manky.

The only reason I wont buy this particular one again is that I really am not keen on the pearl finish. I kinda feel like I am wearing an 80's frosted lippy. Other than that I would recommend it!

This was the first ever pearly lip balm I have ever used/owned. I ended up purchasing it due to the one I was using ran out and this was on special. I think that the packaging is really nice as I like pink and it is easy to open ans close back up.I find that it is easy to apply and it makes them look shiny.

A friend gave this to me as she knows I am constantly losing lip balms. I hadn't tried these before and thought the packaging (with its cute baby pink tube), looked pretty.

This smells really nice - kind of sweet but it isn't overpowering. The scent didn't last that long on my lips so that shouldn't be an issue if scents are something you dislike in lip balms.

Be warned though, that this lip balm has shimmer in it. I didn't realise until I had applied it. Personally I can't stand shimmer on my lips - this is just a personal preference for myself, although it can look amazing on other people.

The shimmer, however, isn't like glitter - it looks more like crushed pearls. The sheen is very frosty and pearl like - so if you like that look then you'll probably really like this. However, I really, really dislike that so this isn't a product I would ever purchase or reuse.

Pearl and shine! Is exactly what the packaging reflects beautifully. In fact, the colour of the lip balm all white and sparkly represents a shinny pearl perfectly. Although, the lap balm is pleasing to the eye I found the product was disappointing to a few of my other senses. Case in point, it has a waxy texture when applying (I prefer it to be smoother) and I used a lot as it doesn't wear for long. Additionally, the scent was either bland or didn't have one because it is not rememberable at all. Lastly, the look of the lip balm on me didn't really didn't suit me and my darkish complexion. Therefore, I do not like this product for the reasons that; it didn't suit me, it was all gone within 2 weeks, and i had to apply continuously as it didn't last really long or provide full overage.. However, if I had to recommend this to someone I'd say this lip balm would be suit to a person who is looking for a great lip moisturiser and has smaller lips.

I bought this on special from countdown when I was doing grocery shopping, I loved the package and seeing as I love most nivea products I thought I would give it a go.

The product is packaged nicely, it comes in a light pink/purple tube that is very secure and sturdy. You twist the tube to get more of the product.

The balm itself if very shimmery, like pearls, as that is the products name. I found that the shimmer did not suit me at all, plus I prefer matte or glossy... not shimmery! The colour came out light pink/purple on my lips. I didn't really like the colour, but then again, I'm not really a fan of coloured lip balm. Which I should have taken into account when buying this product, although, I didn't think the colour pay-off would be so pigmented. The lip balm moisturised my lips quite well but this did not last very long as it rubbed off quickly. I do have to say I prefer other lip balms over this. Just not for me!

I liked this lip blam but i did find i have dry lips so i had to add a few times a day and then my lips no longer looked pearly but rather white

After seeing this at my local supermarket for quite awhile I decided to try out the pearl and shine, I usually use the dark blue Nivea lip balm so I find this is a brand I trust. However this product is just not for me, I found the balm to be quite waxy, and the frosty finish only accentuated any cracks or fine lines in my lips. It made my lips appear quite pale (I'm already fairly pale as it is) making my overall appearance quite washed out. Overall I wouldn't use this product to hydrate the lips at all, it's more similar to a frosted sheen lipstick. Unfortunately won't be using this product again!

I'm usually a big fan of Nivea lip products, but this one just isn't for me.

I really like two things: the scent and the packaging. It smells sweet and sugary without being too overpowering, and the tube is handy, sturdy and cute (gotta love pink packaging). However, that is basically where my love for this lip balm ends...

First off, unlike the other Nivea balms I have tried, this is not particularly moisturising. It definitely doesn't leave my lips "irresistably smooth" or soft, and I find it slightly waxy to apply.

Second, I *hate* how the colour looks on me. It's a very pale pink, which looks really nice in the tube. However, the "pearly shimmer" is no exaggeration - it's super frosty when applied, and looks almost white-pink in some lights. Overall, it just is not a flattering shade or finish on me (~NC15 skintone).

So, I won't be repurchasing this and I wouldn't recommend it to others unless they are a big fan of the frosty lipstick look.
