Nivea Lip Butters

These lip butters have been on so many bloggers raves and favourites, so it's been so much of a temptation to try these out. I bought these around mid year, last year and only managed to write up a review on them now. Tad late, but I have been trying them out for 6-7 month and my views on them still haven't changed. They are decent lip butters though.

I got them on sale for $3.72 each at Woolworths. 

The day after, I actually went back to buy a couple more of the Vanilla & Macadamia since my friends were in love with the scent but sadly there was only 2 left.

Saying before, the scent of this is absolutely delicious, it is basically, Vanilla and Macadamia. But the scent of Vanilla wins everyone over. It beats the EOS Lipbalms fruity smell. 

Of course, this is unscented.

As for this, the scent is like caramel popcorn also incredibly delicious.

The texture of the lip butters are so creamy, once you apply it onto your lips they melt into a nice layer of creaminess. A little is also enough to cover your lips, I find that applying more than enough will make all the product go towards the inner part of your lips, like most lip balms when you apply too much. 

I am definitely in love with the texture, the cute tin packaging and the scents but I find that the moisturizing part of it is just didnt wow me enough compared with the Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm which is still my all time favourite.

I would consider repurchasing, especially the vanilla & macadamia just to throw into my bag when my lips get dry through the day.

Nivea Pure & Natural Milk & Honey and Chamomile & Calendula

Having dry lips frequently, I will always be using a lip balm day and night. And being a lipbalm junkie, I'm always happy to try different lipbalms but for now  I'm only just starting on Nivea before I test out different brands.

I actually used a Priceline voucher on these lipbalms as well as 5 other lipbalms but they were already on sale for $3.34 each, bargain! 

Chamomile & Calendula  Ingredients

Milk & Honey Ingredients 

On the back it states that: 

Chamomile & Calendula: 

-soothes sensitive lips with extra mild care

-100% free of preservatives

-With natural ingredients - certified organic shea butter and natural jojoba oil

Milk & Honey:

-Pampers your lips with extra rich care

-100% free of preservatives

-With natural ingredients - certified organic shea butter and natural jojoba oil

I picked the two lipbalms in the pure & natural range 'Chamomile & Calendula' and 'Milk & Honey'

I did some research on their website and their main ingredient is very natural so perfect for those looking for the natural lipbalm option.

Chamomile & Calendula

• Camomile – a wound-healing ingredient that leaves chapped lips wonderfully soft
• Calendula – traditionally used to soothe and alleviate inflammation.

Milk & Honey

• Milk – rich in all important amino acids, vitamins and minerals
• Honey – contains a high amount of antioxidants and has effective healing properties.

The scent of these lipbalms dont linger on the lips but smell quite noticeable in the tube. Honestly the Chamomile & Calendula scent isn't my favourite it smells like one of those floral fragrant pillows they sell during mothers day, I rather prefer the Milk & Honey because it smells a lot like honey. 

Compared to my all time favourite lipbalm, the Nivea Essential Care. This lipbalm is a lot thinner and requires going back forth tons of times until you get a thicker moisturising consistency like the Essential Care. But unlike the Essential Care the lipbalm doesn't reach to my standards in its moisturising compartment.
It feels as if I'm just applying a layer of lipbalm that does nothing.

With an equal amount of money you could just buy the Essential Care lipbalm which actually does something.

Sad to say that this was a disappointment for me and I wouldn't repurchase this again.

I would recommend just saving your money on a different lipbalm.

Now onto the review...

So a few of you should know that I suffer from extremely dry lips. (I have a habit of licking my lips due to my awkwardness or nervousness) and I never carry a lip balm with me since whenever I bring out my EOS lipbalm, most of my friends will look at it like it's a foreign object. They aren't very known to the makeup world sadly...

But last year I had a new student in my class and she always had a lipbalm with her, I asked her what lipbalm it was and it was the Nivea Essential Care Lipbalm, she told me it was the best and then of course I had to buy it.

I was really hesitant to buy it because I know the price is higher than the usual lipbalms but I did go and google it, if it was worth the buy or not. There was massive raves on this one, literally, so I had my hopes on this lipbalm really high.

Ingredients

I bought this at Priceline for $4.49.

All the Nivea Lip balms usually look like this but the colour and name is different.

I got the one in the blue tube.

I actually really like how the packaging is like a lipstick instead of the lid being a small cap.

The back

When you open it, it comes with quite a lot of product!

I've been using this everyday, in the morning, afternoon and before I go to bed, reapplying when-ever it is necessary. 

So far I only have half of what I had when I bought this. 

The texture is so soft and creamy once you apply it on your lips!  What I really hate is how lip balms go really hard in the colder weather so it takes forever to warm the product up and make it apply softly, but this lipbalm just melts on your lips! 

The actual product is also amazing, you only need to apply this around 3-4 times a day if you have chapped lips then you are back with your normal lips. This product is definitely a lifesaver and my HG lipbalm!

The only bad thing I have about this, is that the price isn't my cup of tea and it does run low pretty fast. (I'll probably have to go buy a back up one soon).

Other than that I really don't have any complaints. I will be repurchasing this tomorrow as it is currently on sale at Priceline for $3.34!

Have you tried the Nivea lipbalms? Which are your favourites out of them all?
