This review is so late it’s a bit embarrassing but I have an obscene amount of lip balms and therefore it takes me a while to try them all out properly but here it is! I picked up the Nivea Lip Butters in both Caramel Cream and Raspberry Rose as they both smell utterly amazing. The packaging is just a standard tin but these ones are flatter than the Vaseline ones and because they are a matte covering, the picture doesn’t chip away. I hate how the Vaseline tins look a little worse for wear after they’ve been in your handbag for a while, so overall for packaging, I much prefer these. Being lip butters, they are far thicker and creamier in consistency as opposed to other lip balms such as the Maybelline Babylips.
Caramel Cream – The scent of this one makes me want to eat it all up, it smells just like caramel, sweet and extremely yummy. The formulation is thick and creamy and soaks in really well. It leaves my lips feeling so soft and smooth and even after applying it, I can still smell the caramel. I love to use this one after using a lip scrub as I find it’s more of a deep moisturising lip balm and it’s lovely at night too.
Raspberry Rose – This one smells amazing too, a sweet raspberry scent but it has a slightly thicker consistency and this one tends to clog up on my lips. I’ve even tried to use it sparingly but it always seems to be too much. I’ve also noticed that when applied, this one leaves a strange pink gloss to my lips, not a subtle look, it’s a bright pale pink covering and looks as though I have toothpaste on my lips.
If I were to repurchase them again, I would only buy the Caramel Cream one again as I personally don’t like the other one and because of the strange pink residue on my lips, I don’t even know if it hydrates my lips as it never stays on long enough to do it’s job. They are available from Boots and Superdrug and I bought mine for £2.25 each from Superdrug, a complete bargain if you ask me. There’s also an Original version available however I like my lip balms to be a bit more adventurous and prefer mine to have a tint/scent to them.
Have you tried the Nivea Lip Butters? What are your thoughts on them?

They sound lovely and i have loved the other Nivea lip balms so maybe I would like the lip butter. Both scents seem amazing and I love that in a lip butter.

JackieI love lip butters as opposed to lip balms, just seem a bit more moisturising sometimes. x

I'm always tempted by these when i see them at the counters, but i already have so many lipbalms so i think i ought to stay away. I personally like lipbalms in a lipstick form because i find it easier to apply and much more hygienic to use. The packaging of these nivea ones do look quite nice though when compared with the vaseline tins.
Thank you for your review, it was lovely to read 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful day! <3

YingI have loads of lip balms but I love trying new ones. I'm the only person who uses my lip balms and I'm a germ freak anyway so I don't worry too much about pots being un-hygienic. xx

The caramel cream tastes and smells so so yummy!!! It's so tempting to just lick it off gross but true, I too have a shocking amount of lip balms I have about six in my bag at a count! :O x

I haven't tried the caramel one but I have tried the raspberry version. I personally really liked the smell and taste (that bit is inevitable) however I agree that it leaves a white finish on your lips which isn't ideal.
