I found this in Superdrug last week while I was looking for a new lip balm. I stumbled across this Nivea Lip Butter, and I have to say, I've honestly never seen them before! It comes in three scents - Original, Raspberry Rose and Caramel Cream. I didn't smell the 'original' one because I quite like scented lip balms. Raspberry Rose is gorgeous and sweetly fruity, but I was drawn to the Caramel Cream one because it smells exactly like Butterkist toffee popcorn. It's amazing, I just sit and smell it.
I expected it to have a similar effect to Vaseline, I'm not sure why, probably because it comes in a tin too, but thankfully it isn't! Vaseline is basically pure petroleum and it doesn't hydrate, it just creates a false silky layer on the lips and your lips then become dependent on it. The Nivea lip butters don't have any petroleum in them so they don't have this problem. In using this I have honestly noticed a huge difference in the softness of my lips. I had been neglecting them a bit, especially because lip balms isn't something I'm into a lot, but this has definitely changed my mind! I think I'm going to pick up Raspberry Rose too the next time I'm shopping, because it would be nice to have more than one scent, and I honestly really like using it.

I'd end up licking it off and being disappointed when it didn't taste how it smelt. Haha. I have a lemon cheesecake scented lip balm from Etsy that I have that problem with. :P
ReplyDeleteI know I wish it did taste like it too! although I'd probably end up eating it straight out the tin! xx
DeleteI hope this comes in our stores too... :D
ReplyDeleteOhhhy why dont they sell this in holland! I'm crazy about caramel. Just looking at the tin makes me go hmmmm haha

Do you not get Nivea at all or do you just not have this? It's just came out here as far as I know, so you might still get it :) x
DeleteI bought it today, I was actually looking for the Vanilla one though.... But everywhere has sold out!!! So it was a toss up between this one or Rasberry Rose. I chose Caramel because I like warm rich indulgent scents, especially now winter's on its way!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it's nothing like Vaseline I hate that stuff, don't know why so many people like it??!
This lip butter feels ultra moisturising, smooth and decadent!!!! Also slightly cheaper than my usual Body Shop Lip Butters!
I love mine, I've been using it everyday since I bought it! I might have to buy the other scents so I have a choice! haha I've never used the ones from the body shop but I have heard good things about them :) xx
DeleteI cant seem to find it anywhere, even online, and i also went to there website and they do not sell it on there, so not happy i really want to try these..
ReplyDeleteI noticed that Nivea didn't have them on their website either. You can get them from the Superdrug website here if you are from the UK http://www.superdrug.com/search?q=nivea+lip+butter&searchsubmit=Search - I hope this help you! xx
