NIVEA Lip Care Pearly Shine Review

Purchased this around six months ago, I have used it a few times since. It's not the best lip balm out there but certainly not the worst. The colour can take a bit of getting used to, but it has really grown on me, it's a very pale pink tone.. As for the moisturising qualities of this lip balm it's nothing to rave about, there are much better products out there to keep your lips moisturised.

I bought this by accident (the accident was that I didnt realise it was pearly!)

Firstly, Nivea lip balms have such a great feel and texture. I really love them over say, a Chapstick.

I honestly didn't like the pearl, though. It made my lips look pale, and no one needs pale lips. Sure, they were sparkly close up, but if you are not getting into someones personal space then they will just do a double take at your face!

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!

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

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 didnt really like this one was but too fake looking on my lips like sticky gloss but was nice smell Could upgrade on the package as is super old looking Wouldn't really buy again only if was given to me for free lol

I think this is a product everyone just grabs at the supermarket or there family buys for them. I have to say it is very pearly and washes out my lips with a white pink colour and having naturally quite pinky red lips looks a bit trampy. It does make your lips smooth and I guess "protect" against dryness but it will not heal dryness. For the price and how easy it is to get I guess I would use it and recommend if you were out camping or somewhere travelling and wanted to grab something quickly.

This balm leaves a very pretty sheen on your lips, but seems to work more as a gloss than a good lip moisturizer. I prefer invisible lip balms to this, it just doesnt feel like its getting the job done.

I am a fan of Nivea products, but was disappointed with this lip gloss, actually I shouldn't call it a lip gloss because it wasn't that shiny, more of a lip balm. The pink tube was cute, and the price very cheap, especially on special from the supermarket. I applied to cleansed lips and found it was slightly moisturising with a subtle hint of pearly-pink colour, but not as hydrating as I would have liked. After about half-an hour my lips started to get a bit dry, so it was not very long-lasting. Also no SPF which we need in our hot sun! I will use the rest of the tube up as I don't like wasting stuff, but wouldn't recommend if you want a really hydrating, shiny moisturising balm.

I got mine as a gift but after using it I wouldn't actually spend money on purchasing one. It is an average lip product in my opinion. To me it's not very moisturising and the colour of it I didn't find very flattering.
