NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

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.

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!

Personally I think this is not a great lip balm in terms of moisturising and hydrating your lips. I found it did smooth out my chapped lips and make them softer, but it doesn't last very long at all. It doesn't prevent my lips from dryness as within about an hour my lips would feel dry again.

Application - this lip balm was easy to use and glided over my lips smoothly with ease. The formula of the lip balm is very soft and creamy. However, I did find that because it was very soft, it was prone to melting quite fast if left in a warm spot or in the sun.

Packaging - the tube the lip balm is in is almost like a lipstick tube. You have a long lid that pulls off like a case then you twist the tube to pop the lip balm up. I found the tube really easy to use and the lip balm smoothly rises up and down as you twist it. There's none of the twisting up and the lip balm getting stuck so you end up forcing the lip balm back down business.

Colour - I did however like the colour and tint if this lip balm. It gives you lips a nice light pink sheen. The finish is frosty and shiny and defiantly has a pearly shimmer. However, I did find that if I had really dry and chapped lips the pearly colour didn't fill right into the cracks in my lips and just emphasised them more.

Smell - I always find nivea lip balms have quite sting scents, and this one is no different. The smell is quite sweet smelling a bit like lollies.

Would I purchase again - probably not. This lip balm didn't give my lips long lasting hydration and I think you can get better lip balms for the same price

This lip barm is really pearly shiny , it didnt suit me at all, also i found it wasnt very moisturising for my lips as they get extremely dry , it did smell really nice though :) i probably wont buy again only because i looked funny wearing it

I don't like this lip balm at all it's extremely shiny which looks terrible on me having very full lips so there is just too much of it and the color is quite pale, it looks very wrong on me but might look okay on someone who has thinnner lips and pale skin tone. Also for me it doesn't provide enough moisture, it actually seemed to accentuate the dryness. The only good thing i can say about this product is cute packaging..

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..
