NIVEA Lip Care Strawberry Shine Review

The NIVEA Strawberry Lip Care and I have a long and complex history together! I initially started using this product during high school, and I loved the shimmery red tones which it would subtly add to your lips. It was super moisturising and generally amazing. However, I suspect that sometime between then and now the formula has been changed, and I definitely don't like this product as much as I used to.

It comes in a cute wee tube, which I definitely prefer over pots because they feel more hygienic somehow and are less messy to apply. The lip product applies smoothly and easily, with a lovely strawberry scent and a subtle gloss. The ingredients are awesome, and I love knowing I'm protecting my lips from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

However, while this product used to make your lips significantly redder, it now only gives them a gloss with very little colour. Although it feels moisturising upon application, I found this doesn't really last long and has me reaching for it again not too long afterwards. Not a huge fan, and probably won't go out of my way to repurchase.

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.

Price-wise this product is great. Lovely simple yet eye-catching packaging. It’s easy to apply and glides on smoothly, giving your lips a lovely shine.

I was a bit disappointed with the product when I needed it most. When my lips were absolutely at their dryest and chapped beyond belief, I found no comfort in the product. I suppose that’s on me. Perhaps if I had been using it regularly beforehand I wouldn’t have been in such a pickle. I’m saying that, I did find relief in other, more expensive, products. I always say that you pay for quality. I do like Nivea as a brand, however.

It’s great to keep in your handbag, pocket, or car.

This product has a lovely sweet fragrance and offers an oily glide on the lips with a glossy like appearance, not full on gloss just a tinge... though I think it lacks the moisture factor when it comes to a balm

Nice lip balm but I don’t suit the red tint for some reason. My husband uses it now still does the job though just not a fan of the red. But that’s just my opinion

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!

This comes in a wind up tube for easy application. It has a slight red tint and protection from the sun. Both of my daughter's use this and is their favourite mostly as it is shiny and tinted but also keeps their lips moisturized. I myself prefer natural ingredients in a balm as I don't find this as moisturizing.

I absolutely love lip balms that add a bit of colour to your lips but to be honest this one is a little over the top. It has a lovely taste but too much red. Not sure I would say it adds lots of care like some of the others on the market
