Nivea Lip Butter Review *

Hi dolls,

I actually have had this review ready for a while but all I needed to do was to type it all up. I already took the photos and everything about a week ago. And was actually planning to post this last week.

But of course with my procrastination and busier schedule it has totally been on the back burner. Especially after my previous review, which I had to film and edit (if you make videos you know how much time is spend on editing). 

The first time I saw the Nivea Lip Butters were the American YouTubers talking about. And they were a huge favorite by everyone talking about them.

I first thought, well we probably won't get them here in Europe. But no, weeks later I received an email saying these Lip Butters were going to be sold in 3 flavors in Original, Raspberry Rosé and Vanilla Macadamia. They retail here in the Netherlands for € 2.99 and are exclusively available at Kruidvat. Please contact Beiersdorf if you would like to know where it is sold where you live.

They come in tins of 20ml. I like the tins as they have a matte finish an d the lids do not come off easily when you have them lying around in your purse but still come off easily by just twisting them off.

So is the lip butter as amazing as all the American YouTubers have been saying? Well I really like it a lot! I currently only have the original but am planning to buy the other two as well. The original has no scent, is super moisturizing as you would expect from a nivea/labello lip product.It does not feel greasy on the lips just moisturizing.

As you can see I have made a dent in the lip butter tin already, I think at the time I was using this for about 2 weeks. I usually apply this before I put my makeup on and is underneath my normal lipstick for that day.

The original Nivea lip butter is white in it's tin but goes on clear. I did a swatch of it, you can see it slightly but I did apply it quite heavily on my hand. Even then it does not feel greasy!! 

I would love to know your thoughts on the Nivea Lip Butters. Would you buy them?

Also I would like to know what type of video you would like to see in my next video. A haul or a March favorites?

Nivea (Labello) Fruity Shine Cherry Review *

Hi dolls,

With the cold weather coming or in some places it is already here. It also comes with dry and cracked lips. We all don't like that but I guess every season comes with its price. 

Every winter not only me but also my family always reach for the Labello lip balms although in most countries people will know them for the Nivea lip balms. They are both the exact same, except for the name. The blue classic lip balm has always been a favorite and in our house you can find them in every room. I love the blue classic lip balm but I have always been way more interested in the ones with the flavors and colors. 

When I saw that Labello (Nivea) was re-promoting the Fruity Shine Cherry I had to have it! I remember when I was younger I wanted it but my mom would always say no because it contained that hint of color, and it looked like I was wearing lipstick. I guess my mom did not want to be portrayed as a bad mom for giving her daughter lipstick to wear at such a young age.

The Fruity Shine Cherry now has a more slanted cap which looks more sleek. Has a nice vibrant red packaging with nice cherry blossoms on it. The formula is still very moisturising, gives you a little bit of a hint of color, gives your lips an actual shine and has a nice cherry scent. It is basically perfect for when your lips are that dry and cracked that any lipstick on those lips would not have a good look. The redness on your lips is really natural but still noticable for you. I have been wearing it on a daily basis ever since I got it, and been loving it!

The Labello (Nivea) lip balms are really great value for money as they retail between the € 2.- and € 3.- you can re-apply as many times as you want. 

A swatch of it on my hand.

How it looks on my lips.

The BB Cream Craze Continues ''New Nivea BB Cream''

Hi dolls,

Finally another more meaningful post from me. I do have to admit I have been a little bit MIA, I have been very busy... More on that later...

Anyhow, the BB cream craze does not seem to die down any time soon. It seems every brand is coming out with their own type of BB cream. 1 of my favorite skincare brands is coming out with a BB cream, Nivea has decided that they will be launching their own BB cream. As most of you all know Nivea is mostly known for their blue tinned creams and also their lip balms are a great hit. I love their skincare products as it is so moisturizing and great when you are looking for something that is pretty inexpensive but very effective. 

Nivea's BB cream is a 6 in 1. It claims it moisturizes the skin, tones your skin, camoflages imperfections like redness, spots, fine lines, adapts to the skin, makes your skin softer and protects your skin because it contains spf10. The BB cream contains shea butter which we all know really moisturizes the skin and it also contains provitamine b5 which apparently helps your skin to regenerate faster. It has mineral pigments so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. 

The BB cream comes in two shades light and medium. And will be available in stores from October onwards and will be retailing for around € 9.49 which is the price point most drugstore bb creams have been.

What do you think of BB creams? What is your favorite?
