Better than Carmex...
Back in 2009 the beauty community all used to rave about Carmex, including me on my old blog, and it has been a cult product ever since. Don't get me wrong I love Carmex, particularly the new tinted range which allows me wear lip colours even when my lips are ridiculously chapped!
But I have found a new love, Nivea realised some lip butters this time last year and the second I saw them I picked the raspberry one up purely on the fact I love raspberry scented products.
But this lip balm which was left to sit at the back of my lip balm draw (yes that really does exist, shameful I know) until a couple of weeks back I rediscovered it, I used this lip balm after I get out the bath, you do not have to use too much and I let it sink into my lips, once it has sunk in, which doesn't take very long my lips are the softest a lip balm has ever made them!
Pro's of this Product
- It absorbs into the lips quickly ( I do still drink etc whilst it is on and it doesn't affect it)
- It does not feel greasy
- There is no tingling sensation which you receive from other lip balms/ treatments
- It smells amazing
Con's of this product
- It is in a tin, which means I will only use it after a bath when I know my hands are clean, so isn't very handbag friendly
Overall I love this lip balm, so much so I have purchased a tin of the original scent to try. I know the tin my bother some of you but this isn't an issue for me because If my lips are dry during the day I like to use tinted balm so it adds some colour to my face, which tent to be in stick form and I only use tin style balms at night after I've washed my hands.
Why not give one a go and let me know what you think?
