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.
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.
