NIVEA Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose and Caramel Creme
£1.99 each at Superdrug
These products are the ones I was looking forward to trying out for a few months as I'd read many good reviews about them. It was sold for £2.5 at Boots but it was £1.99 at Superdrug. I was lucky to find it out after returning the ones I bought from Boots as they were used, I ended up saving about £1! Boots was pretty rude about me returning the used products, so I assume it happens all the time and people would check inside before they buy something. I didn't think of the possibility that the products are used, I thought it was rude to open the products I haven't paid for -maybe that was too Japanesey and silly. Anyway, after I returned the used-products, I found that they were cheaper at Superdrug when I dropped by so I bought them without hesitation.
Caramel Cream smells divine. It smells like caramel popcorn, with this nutty fragrance I love. It doesn't have any perfumey scents some lip balms have, which taste disgusting when you lick your lips accidentally.
And this Raspberry Rose was a little bit of surprise for me as I didn't think I would like the scent from the name of it. I love raspberries but don't like rosy-scented lip products just because I prefer sweeter scents on my lips. But this one doesn't have a strong rosy scent at all and instead it smells of raspberry candy. I love the scent so much that I keep re-applying every 5 minutes just to enjoy the scent.
They both have this soft and kind of oily texture. It stays on the lips rather than sinking in quickly, which made me worry that it wouldn't be nourishing and moisturizing. But no need to worry, it IS moisturizing. I read some reviews saying that it's not moisturizing and it doesn't do anything except smelling good but in my opinion it's quite good lip balm. I recommend you to try it out if you're into those scents, it's not going to destroy your bank as it's only £1.99!
