Nivea Lip Butters

I know I've had these wonderful lip butters for quite some time now, so I thought it was about time I shared with you what I thought about them! When I first got these wonderful tins (which were a little hard to track down when they first came out), I couldn't stop using them!

Company: Nivea

Flavors: Smooth Kiss, Caramel Cream Kiss, Raspberry Rose Kiss, and Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss. The Smooth Kiss is the plain, unscented version of these lovely lip butters; so if you're not a fan of scented products, this may be the one you want to try! The Caramel Cream Kiss has a rich, ooey-gooey caramel scent to it. It has an uber decadent scent to it! The Raspberry Rose Kiss has a ripe, sweet raspberry scent combined with the fresh scent of rose. The Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss is my absolute favorite of these lip butters. This lip butter has a rich, decadent, creamy vanilla scent combined with a little nuttiness.

Wear: These lip butters have such a lovely consistency. They're super creamy and melt right upon contact with your lips, making your lips feel super soft almost instantaneously. They last through some drinking and light snacking too which is nice.

Packaging: These come in round metal tins that weigh 0.59oz (16.7g). Each tin's lid has images on it depicting the flavor of the lip butter inside which makes it super easy to find your favorite flavor (if you keep them all in one place like I do).

Price: I think I paid $3 to $4 for one of these tins which was definitely worth it! It's hard to believe that these tins contain almost 4x as much balm as your average tube (.15oz) so I definitely think it's worth it!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons: Not natural

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 twists. These tins were super lovely! If they were to come out with any more scents, you know I would be all over them in a heartbeat. I really love the consistency of these, I often use them before bed as my night balm.

Ingredients: Petrolatum, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Shea Butter, Castor Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Water, Glycerin, Glyceryl Glucoside, BHT, Titanium Dioxide

Nivea: A Kiss of Smoothness

I couldn't write this blog without a review on my favorite, must always have on me, always kept in surplus lip balm: Nivea A Kiss of Smoothness Hydrating Lipcare SPF 10.

I absolutely love, love, love this balm. My boyfriend (he'll be pretty consistent in my entries since he's my partner in crime so to say, he always runs with me to find chapstick, and my enabler, he feeds my addiction of needing to try every balm out there) refers to this balm as the one I would put everywhere if I could. I really enjoy all of the Nivea products.

Company: Nivea

Flavors: A Kiss of Smoothness, A Kiss of Moisture, A Kiss of Mint and Minerals, A Kiss of Shimmer, A Kiss of Strawberry, A Kiss of Berry Swirl, A Kiss of Cherry, A Kiss of Recovery Medicated, A Kiss of Milk and Honey, and A Kiss of Protection. This specific balm has no flavor or smell which I actually find desirable with how moisturizing it is. The flavored ones also have tints to them and slight scents.

Wear: Smooooooottthhhh! Great coverage, I sometimes go overload on putting it on so it goes a little off my lips but I don't mind. This product lasts a long time and is super moisturizing. The stick is never stiff; it is always soft from beginning to end. Also, this specific flavor has SPF 10 which is always an added bonus.

Packaging: A tube slightly larger than the standard chapstick tube, but still small enough for a pocket. The tube has a large, light blue cap that covers the whole tube to the base, not your usual small cap which is handy for clumsier people, it's harder to drop and lose the cap to the tube! I really enjoy this packaging.

Price: $2-4 for a 0.17 oz (4.8g) tube, some stores really jack up the prices but usually it's around $2-3. Also I occasionally find it in a two pack for around $3 which is a hell of a deal seeing as I go through these tubes very quickly.

Overall
Pros: price, super moisturizing, packaging, coverage, lots of options flavor wise (each with the same great moisturizing capabilities), SPF
Cons: None that I can see, maybe that it's not natural?

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists
