I've purchased this lip balm twice now. First the Vanilla Macadamia nut flavour where I was impressed with one thing but not the other so I tossed it. I like Blueberry Blush a lot more.
Claims from the packaging: The moisturizing formula of NIVEA Lip Butter contains chea butter and almond oil and provides moisture and long-lasting care. This indulging formula with blueberry aroma restores for sensationally soft lips and leaves a soft shine of colour.
This lip balm retails for $2.82. It comes in several varieties in Canada: Original, Vanilla Macadamia, Raspberry Rose and Blueberry Blush. The lip butter comes in a pot format and comes with 16.7g in the tin so there is a lot of product.
This lip butter is wonderfully soft and creamy. Once I bought a lip balm in a tin and it was ROCK SOLID. I was thoroughly confused. I always assumed pot lip balms were always softer because they weren't waxy enough to stand in a tube, but that's not always the case. This lip butter certainly couldn't stand in a tube. It's very melty.
The lip butter is a pretty pinkish plum but ends up translating to white on my lips if I put on too much. It doesn't leave any pigment on my lips but I suppose that's because my lips are pigmented.
The scent is heavenly. It smells like a yummy blueberry smoothie. A lot like EOS blueberry smooth spheres in scent. The scent only lasts for a while on my lips before fading and I wouldn't mind if it stayed.
The moisture on this lip butter is incredible. Even after you wipe it off your lips still retain moisture. It just feels really nice and creamy on lips and I love the way that feels. Like my lips are wrapped in a hydrating blanket. And when I wipe it off my lips look very smooth, soft and plump for a hours after the lip balm is off so the claim of the moisture being long lasting is definitely accurate.
One thing I'm not big on is the fact that it's in a pot. It's not hygienic as you have to dip your finger into the product and onto your lips to apply. So generally I keep this lip balm at home or I wash my hands thoroughly before applying.
Despite that, this lip butter is a giant win in my book. I don't own a lip balm which is as thick and hydrating as this in my stash. I love it and use it daily.

I have this tin in Caramel Cream Kiss (one that you didn't mention so I don't know if it was seasonal maybe?), and it smells so yummy! I also like how easy it is to spread and how it feels on the lips, but it has the same light beige cast problem.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we Canadians got that flavour! I'm glad to hear you like them as well. Hopefully they do come out with a totally clear flavour that we can wear out and about!
