NIVEA Lip Care Strawberry Shine Review

I wouldn't say that this lip balm provides your lips with the best hydration, but what I do love about this product is the cherry tint it gives your lips. The colour it gave my lips is a light red tint. This product has a dual purpose as a lip tint as well. This lip balm does make your lips nice and smooth, but I find my lips are still "thirsty" afterwards and I have to keep applying more an hour later.

The texture of the lip balm is very soft and creamy. This makes it very easy to apply to your lips and allows you to apply it smoothly. Because of the soft texture, this lip balm can easily melt if left in your pocket. So I would recommend to keep it in your bag out if direct sunlight. This happened to me once and my lip balm melted, so I had to put it in the fridge to set again.

This lip balm has a strong fruity scent that is very sweet smelling. I love fruity smelling products so this doesn't bother me, but this might not be the product for you if you don't like strong scents. This lip balm has a satiny type finish and gives your lips a bit of shine.

Overall, I wouldn't purchase this product again as a lip balm simply because it didn't give my lips enough hydration. However, I would purchase this as a lip tint as I did like the colour it gave my lips.

This isn't my favourite product but it isn't the worst. Wouldn't buy again. Didn't do anything to my lips. Didn't like the colour it put on my lips.

I found this on sale at The Warehouse a while ago and decided to try it out, but I'm not really that impressed with it. I had higher expectations for this but unfortunately I just don't like it at all.

The packaging is good and simple, classic NIVEA packaging - twist up tube, very durable. It has a nice design and logo on a red cap, which I like. It holds a lot of product which is great considering the price is good.

The product itself is bright red in the tube, and you can see the glitters. Once you have used this balm a bit the glitters look a bit gritty in the tube. The product is not very moisturizing, but it does give your lips a pinky-red tint which is glossy and sparkly. It doesn't last long either, I have to reapply every hour or so because my lips feel dry.

I won't be buying this again, I feel there are better NIVEA lip balms that are the same price as this one and moisturize my lips better.

I've been putting off this review for a while trying to change my opinion on this lip balm. But alas, the truth cannot be changed. This felt weird and not balmy enough on my lips. It was moire oil than wax, leaving a shiny layer on my lips. This is like the polar opposite to how EOS lip balms feel in terms of texture. It rubbed off too easily and I had to reapply really often. The color of the balm is actually alright, a sheer red that looks very cute and natural. The smell is the kind of fake paracetamol strawberry that I just didn't like. Would not buy again sadly. This is the only nivea lipbalm that's turned out so useless which is somewhat disappointing.

I bought this strawberry flavoured lip product from The Warehouse quite a while ago, and can't remember what it cost!

It comes in a bright red screw up container - just like a lipstick.

The product looks very red but is only a subtle red shine on my lips once I apply it. It has a subtle cherry smell which I can't taste once I've applied it.

The product claims " to make your lips delicious, kissing them with a fruity-fresh strawberry taste. This lip balm covers your lips with glossy shine, over a subtle, red-toned glow". Well, it doesn't have any taste to match the smell, but as for the subtle red-toned glow, I'd say that's true enough. It says the rich Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter keep your lips smooth, soft and with a hint of colour. That's quite true, as long as you reapply regularly. The product is nice and smooth when applied, but the effect stops once it absorbs.

Overall this is a good product, but there are others of the same type and price that are better. I'm ambivalent really, I may buy it again, particularly if I saw it on special.

Niveas easily accessible in most new zealand stores. During the summer period I picked one of these up at Countdown. Sometimes they have lip products at check out. I popped one of these into my trolley. Needed a quick pick me up for my dry dehydrated lips.

This balm comes in a 4.8 gram bottle. Its sized perfectly to fit into your pocket or handbag. This casing is a bright red with the nivea labelling on it. Its easy to wind up and wind down. Its texture is like a balm. Perfectly scented with Strawberry flavour. Has a slight redish pink tint colouring to this balm. It does have a slight shimer shine in this.

I find this balm simple to apply to my lips. I find it did temporarily hydrate my lips. I did need to keep applying especially with eating and drinking. It does come off easily.

These lip balms are affordable to buy. I would like to see some spf added into these lip balms for added protection. Like most balms I expect to keep applying them. These would make great stocking fillers for young girls. I would definately purchase these again as a gift.

The thing I like most about this is the smell. I like that it leaves a red tint but find that it has little shimmery bits in it which I don't like. In terms of moistourising my lips it does a good job but I have other nivea lip balms that I prefer ( I love the honey and milk one and babylios do good tinted lip balms). Overall I will finish the tube but not repurchase.

I use to always buy this when working but not so much anymore.

It was pretty cheap, cheerful and readily available so was a bit of a go to for me.

I do remember the comments I use to get as people would always ask me what lip colour I wore and this was it so it wasn’t too shabby at tinting and I do think it left it’s mark on my lips so I cannot fault it there!

It was a nice taste - definitely very berry. It did have a sort of waxy aftertaste I would say but not terrible. It also once was quite well used tended to clump so I would have to use a tissue to pick clumps of it off my lips.

In terms of moisturising it was ok. It was good for every day use but in times of urgent need I would personally reach for something a bit better.

It’s a good preventative though for daily use but consider something more moisturising when lips are cracked and sore.

Gifted this from my sister. Standard bullet type packaging. Strawberry scented. Doesn't taste as nice I thought it would. Very slight pearly/tint on application. It does the job, it's not a fav but is decent. I prefer other brands so will not be purchasing this once it is finished.

This lip balm is really different from others, It does the same job with the same formula just with a strong strawberry scent. But overall it is pretty good
