Nivea Raspberry Rose Lip Butter || Review

Today I decided to do a review on one of the most hyped up lip balms of last year. I heard so much about these lip butters by Nivea but I was really late to jump on the bandwagon.

1. Packaging

This type of tin jar packaging may not be appealing to a lot of people. I kind of have the same issue, because dipping my finger in a product and then putting it on my lips doesn't sound very appealing. However, I get over that feeling when applying vaseline for exapmle, because I know it really helps me. Other than that, I like the design of the packaging, it is very cute. 

2. Application/Texture

I find the lip butter very thick and a little bit hard to apply on the lips because of its consistency. It's hard to rub my lips together after I put it on, but I don't feel like it has a rich and moisturizing texture. It just kind of sits there. 

3. Colour Intensity 

This lip balm has a surprising colour pay off and for the first time ever, I don't think this is a really good thing. The colour of it is a very light powdery pink and it looks almost like you put something white on your lips. I would never wear it outside the house, unless I had the thinnest lawyer on my lips. It just washes me out too much. 

It makes me look extremely washed out. 

4. "Staying power"

I find this product adheres to the lips very well and it stays there for a long time. It doesn't sink in very fast and I don't really get much moisture from it. 

5. Pros & Cons

PROS:

- Cute packaging

- Low price

- An amazing raspberry smell (I almost want to eat it!) 

- It feels nice on the lips

- Would be a good base underneath lipstick

- Might tone down very pigmented lips 

- You get a lot of product

- Smooth texture

CONS: 

- Not enough moisture 

- A very pale unflattering colour (that shows up)

- You have to use your fingers to apply 

6. Price: 2-3 Euro

7. Rating: 6/10 

Thanks for reading this review, I really hope it helped!
