So this is a review on the quite-hyped-up lip butters form Nivea. I'd heard lots of rave reviews on this lip butter, so when Priceline was having a 30% off all Nivea product, I snapped it up. At first I wanted to get the caramel kiss one, but it was all out of stock at my Priceline so I grabbed the vanilla & macadamia kiss flavour.
They retail at Priceline normally for $5.95, but there are regular sales. They come in a huge 19ml container that I don't think I will ever finish. The texture is very creamy and is similar to Vaseline, I'm assuming because of the mineral oil. Be careful though - I accidentally put a huge dent into mine by sticking my finger into the product.It smells so delicious I wanna lick it off every time I use it - it smells exactly like white chocolate chip macadamia cookies. It has no taste. The colour in the tin is white, but when applied it will come off transparent unless you really layer it on.
It comes in a really cute tin that is large enough that you can just press your lips into the balm to apply instead of sticking your finger in there. It is very sturdy so the lid won't come off easily if you throw it into your bag. I did however sit on mine accidentally which caused it to kind of put a dent into the tin, which raised the lip butter inside and went all over the lid. So beware of that - it is very sturdy but don't put a whole lot of pressure onto it or it may concave like mine. It's fine though, still usable since it only dented it a little.

They last on the lips for maybe 3-4 hours on me, keeping in mind that a rub and lick my lips a lot. They instantly make my lips feel softer and they still feel moisturised after it has worn off. I find that if you have a lot of dead/flaky skin on your lips it may build up around those areas, so better off giving your lips a good scrub before hand. What I do is put a thick layer of this on my lips, wait a few minutes and then rub it off with a tissue to keep my lips moisturised and flake free :)
