Nivea Olive and Lemon Lip Balm Review!!

Hey guys! :)
So today I am going to review yet another Nivea Chapstick! I have also reviewed the Nivea MED Protection Lip Balm.



Here is the ingredient list and other details.

Price: Rs.159/-


Packaging: It comes in the typical Nivea packaging just the cap changes as always! Since it's



What I think about it:
It is a nice clear lip-balm which soothes my lips whenever they are dry or irritated. Smells like olives..(kind of) and is really moisturizing, not at all sticky or heavy.
The quantity is quite good and I love it seriously! I also use it at night before sleeping, keeps my lips soft till the morning.
So yeah, I don't have any bad things to say about this! I love it and prefer this over the MED protection one I have reviewed.  :)




Will I repurchase it?: 
Mostly yes..but we have so many options, I'd like to try new products.

Nivea MED Protection Lip Balm Review

Hey everyone!

So today I am back again with a lip balm review and this time it is Nivea's Med Protection lip balm. Check out my previous lip balm review here.


This is my first Nivea lip balm, I'd used one when I was in school but this is first Nivea lip balm to come in my collection. Below picture shows what all is written on the packaging it came in.

Price:- Rs.145/-

Packaging:- Comes in the trade-mark nivea packaging with the white twist-up thing and colorful lid. I got this particular one just looking at the pretty mint color! :D

What I think about it:-
I'd got this when I was going through a certain weird lip allergy, my lips were super dry and irritated. This although is not super moisturizing helped in healing my lips. It is light and smooth to apply, comes off clear (obviously). And I must say this lip balm I used continously for 2-3 weeks without using any other lip balm. I have finished half of the product and still use it..although not that often (I have many more to select from now)..


Pros:-
1. Nice packaging (me loves the bright color!)
2. Clear lip balm, nice alternative from daily tinted lip products
3. Light and smooth on lips
4. Gives a soothing feeling
5. Worth the price
6. Doesn't give any white or waxy layer

Cons:-
1. Might not work for people with super dry and chapped lips (but I think it will)..

Will I repurchase it?- Maybe. There are so MANY lip balms to try! :D

I have another clear Nivea lip balm which I love. Here are both of them together.. :)

Have you guys tried this product?

New Maybelline Baby Lips!!

Hey guys!!

So as told I finally got the Maybelline Baby Lips. I'd gone to the Beauty Center at Crawford Market yesterday and I'd thought the Maybelline counter there will not have baby lips as I'd not seen them the day before. But when I asked for them, the SA pulled 3 of them out. I guess there are 6 or 7 of these baby lips.

The 3 that they had were Pink Lolita, Berry Kiss and Coral Crush. I'd planned to get one clear and one tinted one but they didn't have any clear ones. So..I got both the tinted ones! Will get the clear one next time! ;)

And as you guys might know they cost Rs.150/- but I got them for Rs.135/- (if you buy them at the Beauty Centers you get some discounts on each and every product you buy and from any brand! That's why I always love going there.)
So this is not a review of them, I have just got them and will review them after some days. I wanted to show to guys how cute they look and ALSO you get free cute keychains with each which also double up as a lip balm holder! Although these ones look so cute, I like the Baby Lips version of the UK/US one more cuter!

(Warning: I went a little over-board with the photos. I just can't stop thinking how cute they look. So LOTS of pictures ahead!)





 Aren't those keychains super cute?!! :D

Maybelline Lip Smooth In Mandarin, Strawberry and Dolly Rose Review and Swatches!

Hey everyone!

So today I am going to review a product which I have been using for more that a year now and I realized it today that I haven't reviewed it at all! It is the Maybelline Lip Smooths. Initially I'd bought two of them in Mandarin and Strawberry and after using them for some time I ordered a 3rd one in Dolly Rose. So why only a photo of the Mandarin one?
Because one of my friends destroyed the Dolly Rose one (she twisted out all the chapstick and then it didn't go inside and broke) and the Strawberry one met the same fate but this time I was checking how much is left.. :( So I depotted them both in an empty lip balm jar.

Price- Rs.99/-

What I think about them-
I know you guys might have seen tons of reviews of these lip smooths but I thought I'll add mine too.
I bought them after reading reviews on IMBB and Mandarin was something I wanted. I LOVED all of these..they moisturise your lips without the waxy and heavy feeling. And they also give a very pretty sheen and tint to your lips. I have religiously used the Mandarin one for a while now. The same would have been the case with the other two if they were still intact. You can see there is a whole in my mandarin one in the photo. I carry this everyday to college with me.
But I think they do give a little bit of sticky feeling. Otherwise I loved them, but now I am more addicted to my Nivea Fruity Shine in Pink Guava.





Here are the swatches of all the 3 lip smooths. Strawberry and Dolly Rose may look similar in swatches but the Dolly Rose one gives a more pretty and bright pink tint than the Strawberry one.


 And this how I keep the Dolly Rose and Strawberry in a pot. I could save very little amount of the Dolly Rose one and it was the newest and probably my favourite amongst the three. :(

Pros:-
1. Light on lips
2. Moisturises well
3. Gives pretty tint
4. Pocket friendly
5. Nice and cute packaging
6. Stays on for 3-4 hours

Cons:-
1. Applying too much can give a slight sticky feeling
2. The twist-up thing may not work properly as it happened with me.

Will I repurchase them?- I was going to, but now I am more eager to get the Baby Lips and more of Nivea Fruity Shines.
