Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm ~ Review & Swatch

By Vishanne @VishAnne

What Nivea says about the Essential Care Lip Balm?
Basic protection for your lips from moisture loss leaving them soft and smooth. The long-lasting moisturizing formula of NIVEA Essential Care enriched with Jojoba Oil and natural Shea Butter, cares for your lips preventing moisture loss, leaving them soft and smooth.


I have super dry lips and obviously winters make them all the more dry and pale. I needed a thick moisturization for my lips during winter nights, so I purchased this balm. Let’s see how it faired in providing moisturization to my lips.

Price: 99 INR for 4.8g.

Shelf Life:  2.5 years

Look & Feel


  • Package: A stick balm with well gripped cap. It’s a cute, convenient and easy to use pack.

  • Fragrance: Has a pleasant floral fragrance which lingers for about half an hour after use.  The fragrance is similar to the Nivea Pearly Shine Lip Balm reviewed here.
  • Shade: Non tinted lip balm.
  • Taste: No taste.

  • Texture: Thick and slightly sticky balm. Once applied it feels very heavy and waxy on lips.

Effects


  • Moisturizing? Only a very little is needed to give you soft lips. Just use it on your lower lip and purse your lips in. It’s enough to provide the required moisturization.
  • Lasting Power? 6 hours easily surviving light snacks.

  • Nourishing? Yes. Keeps my dry lips soft and nourished for a long time.
  • Lipstick Base? No it cannot be used as lipstick base for it’s very oily. If still you want to use as a lipstick base then you have to use as little as possible.

Cost Effective: Yes totally worth it.

Final Note: Definitely a must try for all the ladies suffering from dry chapped ladies. It provides nourishment to the lips during the harsh winters.
