NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

I get really dry lips and they get all cracked, after using this my lips are so smooth and never get dry, leaves your lips so shiny! highly recommend this, love it!

I bought this a long time ago when it was on special. I liked the idea of a moisturizing balm with a hint of color. I have this in my purse since it's easy and fail proof to apply, and sometimes I apply it over my existing lippy to give it a hint of shine. It doesn't have a lot of color to it as it's really sheer, frosty pink and if you want the color to stand out a bit you have apply several layers on. It does fade and it's not as moisturizing as lipbalm but it is more hydrating than lipstick and isn't sticky like lipgloss. I'll often color in my lips with a nude lipliner and then apply this over it to do a sort of nude lip. I wouldn't buy it again because I've found some tinted lip balms I like better. Overall it's good inexpensive product for a lippy junkie or good starter lip product for a preteen just starting out in the world of lippies or even for a child's collection.

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.

ive tried nivea lip care pearl and its good on your lips smooth and pink. its good to apply this when you have dry or moisturised 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.

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.
