NIVEA Coconut Lip Butter Review

After using Nivea's stick balms for years, last year I decided to try the lip butter tin, and I've been using it ever since, great value for money as one tub has lasted me 6 months so far, it's very moisturising and doesn't make my sensitive skin flare up so I definitely recommend this.

This lip balm comes in a handy pot rather than a tube. It is more creamy than a lip balm (hence it's name). It's very easy to use, just spear a little on your finger tip and away you go. I'm currently using the vanilla and macadamia flavour and it has a nice soft vanilla taste without being over powering. I have purchased this several times and think it's a great product.

Say what you will about Nivea but they do have their timeless pieces when it comes to keeping skin healthy. Their lip butter has been around for a long time and is a fall back that I resort to often when my lips just get beyond help and other balms/treatments stop working.

It is a thick balm that spreads out over lips giving them a shield like an effect when damaged or that niggling starts of chapped lips. It is really rich which is why I don't use it on the daily but when I am run down and my lips are taking damage this is my go to. The only problem I have is the tin is so small I lose them all the time and probably have half a dozen littered in bags, coat pockets, desk drawers, etc. But when I need one they all vanish so I end up buying a new one.

It comes in a very generous size and has a lot of flavours. I personally feel that the pot makes it quite unhygenic. I also don't feel that it does a very good job at moisturising. It lasts, but doesn't seem to be absorbed well. Rather, it leaves a thick residue in your lips and you have to constantly really. I would use this as a protector against wind, but wouldn't use it for its moisturisation.

I love these lip balms, they are so amazing. Incredibly moisturising and leave my lips soft and not dry. The only annoying thing is the tin packaging which is hard to use when I am out so I have this as my holy grail night time lip balm always on my bedside table.

Although it is a little bit more expensive than a typical lip balm you do get a lot of product and the formula is so long lasting :)

Love the product it has a nice easy to apply texture,. Made my lips smooth and soft. It is long lasting which is great and gave off a nice elegant scent. I would buy again just to use as a daily moisture for my lips from time to time, also a great price

I grabbed a few of these on sale at my local countdown as I was drawn to the delicious flavors they offered.

The tin it comes in is large and good value for the price but some may not like it as tins aren't very sanitary, this doesn't worry me too much though.

I got the flavors Caramel Cream and Original, and the Original one has no scent but the Caramel Cream one has a very strong scent, which some won't like at all.

This doesn't do a lot to moisturize, it just sits on my lips and if I apply too much it leaves a white cast. I did expect these to be a bit more moisturizing, but they are more just a coat of moisture on your lips.

I won't be buying these again as I think tubes of lip balm are more convenient and easier to use, and the formula of this isn't great either.
