[REVIEW]: Nivea Lip Butter

Nivea Lip Butter


My lips has been super chapped lately. Usualy I use the Paw Paw balm that will instantly cure the dryness of my lips. But unfortunately I ran out of it. It is almost impossible to find Paw Paw Balm in Indonesia, thus I cannot easily repurchase.

So I was very excited finding the Nivea Lip Butter in Guardian. It was sold for IDR.38.000, a very affordable and reasonable price for lip balms.

I have tried the imported version of Nivea Lip Butter. The imported version worls very well at me. So I was wondering if the Indonesia version is as well as the imported version.

In Guardian Yogyakarta, there are 4 variants of the Nivea Lip Butter, which are Original, Vanilla and Macadamia, Raspberry Rose, and Cocoa Butter. I've decided to purchase the Raspberry Rose  and the Vanilla and Macadamia. The reason is simple. It is because I am addicted to vanilla and berries.

Nivea Lip Butter: Raspberry Rose
The Raspberry Rose had similar scent to Soda Gembira, a traditional drink that is famous in Indonesia. The Vanilla and Macadamia had similar scent to Vanilla cake frosting. Yes I'm such a sweet tooth!

Nivea Lip Butter: Vanila and Macadamia


The product comes in a small tin jar filled with 16.7gr of product. The tin jar is very good quality as it is steady and firm. I don't have to worry about it spill in my bag.

The consistency of the Nivea Lip Butter is like a thick packed gel. It is scented beautifully. The smell of the product is very tender and not overwhelming. But it is enough to give motivation to put it on religiously. The thick consistency makes it quite hard to melt. However, I find it positive because it allows us to control the amount of product to be put in our lips. I have to remind you that al little goes a long way.

What I love about the product is the after effect of the usage. Our lips doesn't look greasy at all while it is still very moisturising. Although the Raspberry Rose variant has a slight pink color, when being applied in my lips, it doesn't give any colors at all. I personally love lip balms that does not give colors since it will not effect the color of my lipstick. The Nivea Lip Balm itself is very moisturising. Thus, it does quite a quick job to fix chappy lips. It took me 3 days to fix my chappy lips.

The only dislike that I have is the fact that the product is packaged in a small rounded tin jar. I find it less hygine for the long term since we have to continously dip our fingers in it.

Overall, I really love this product! It is affordable and it really does the job well.

FINAL RATE:
I rate this product to be a 9/10.

Stay beautifoe!!

What I do when I buy too pale lipstick?

Maybelline Bold Matte (Left) + Maybelline Velvet Matte (Right)


I am just so into nudes. That's why I sometimes go crazy when finding nude lips products. Especially if it is drugstore products. I adore..!!! Unfortunately, sometimes the colour looks good on my hands, but pale on my lips.

Those lip colours that were too pale on me used to be just thrown out in my makeup basket to be untouched. Recently I've been experimenting on mixing on lip colours. The pale, mixed with the darker lipsticks or lip gloss.

The result is stunning! What I love about mixing colours is the fact that the colours actually tend to be build-able. If you want darker shades, just put on more of the dark colours. And if you want lighted shades, you just need to do the other way around. This is just a great solution to have new colours to your lips without even buying new ones.

After result of the combination

One of the most favourite mixture of colours that I love recently is the Maybelline Bold Matte in MAT7 mixed with the Maybelline Velvet Matte in MAT12. I love the after result of the soft nude peachy pink colour that is so much suited for a natural everyday look.

I can't wait to experiment on more colours!

Soothing Hydrated Lips With Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm

Aloha!

Chappy dried lips is one of the most featured beauty problems. Hydrating the lips can be done by drinking lot's of water everyday (1.5 Litters per day minimum). However, sometimes in extreme situation, drinking water is not enough. You will need an extra treatment by treating your lips with a lip balm.

I know I am a bit late to love the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm since it has been released like ages ago. But, like what the old man says, "it's better late than never".. LOL



I bought the Maybelline Baby Lips one month ago (in the beginning of April 2013). The one that I bought is the Energizing Orange. I planned to publish a review about it on April (that's why it was featured on my April Sneak Peak post), but I decided to patiently wait for a couple of weeks to publish the review so I can better see the long term effect of this product.
