NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

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..

Unfortunately this is not a product I would buy again or recommend to anyone else, if it's not a pre-teen with very light coloured lips.

Usually I really like Nivea lip balms whether they are tinted or not. But this was a total disaster on me. I have somewhat dark pinkish/peachy lips with burgundy/ brownish color pigmented areas on my entire upper lip and around the bottom lip. You can see a photo of my lips colour in here. Left side picture is of my bare lips and the right side one is after moisturized with a regular lip balm. https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/205519_10150129380073221_2044487_n.jpg

Normally I'm not a person who go for this sort of colour even in my dreams. So are you wondering how I got to use this? Well...I received this as a gift from a friend with bunch of other cosmetics.

All in all this is a very light coloured lip balm with plenty of shimmer to light up a disco. It sure gives the shine they advertise about. And that's where it stops with what it does, that they said it would do. This doesn't moisturize enough and doesn't last long.

So in the end I ended up using this in the comfort of my home where no one else can see me sporting a scary looking ultra shimmer lips. Thankfully it didn't last long since I had to apply and reapply constantly to keep my lips moisturized.

I recently bought this product and it was super affordable, the packaging was superb and the formula was moisturising, long lasting and prevented dryness, but there was so much shine and shimmer it made my lips so reflective it was not natural at all!

I actually quite like the Nivea lip care pearl and shine. It has a pleasant smell, and once applied makes my lips feel velvety and smooth. I do agree that it may not last long, and does need reapplying. I like to use this daily as it has a nice pink shade, without looking like lipstick. The packaging is quite nice too, well priced, and can be purchased at the supermarket!

I absolutely love the smell of this product, and the pearalized colour is also fantastic well providing nourishment and care for your lips, highly recommend this product as it is super affordable

It is affordable & packaging is neat but it makes my lips so shiny and unnatural. It keeps my lips hydrated for the first couple of hours from applying it but that was it. you will always need to re-apply.

It smells great, it lasts a fairly long time on your lips and the packaging is nice but that is about as far as it goes for me. There is so much light pearly shimmer in this product and it definately did not do me any favours. Did not match my skin tone and wearing this in public would have been slightly embarrassing.
