I love Nivea lip balms, but this formula is different and it just doesn't work. It's not moisturizing at all-- it also feels "grainy" (like a bad lip exfoliator). As for the shine, you do get a little gloss on the lips but no color. The only positive thing about this product is the smell, it's a light and sweet strawberry fragrance.
Just skip this and save your money, ladies!

I have a love/hate relationship with EOS lip balms. They're hella cute, with adorable packaging and nice scents, plus effective marketing-- but my praise stops there. The product itself is NOT WORTH IT.
1) It's a thin consistency that doesn't actually feel moisturizing
2) The more you use it, the dryer your lips get (you constantly have to re-apply)
3) It sometimes leaves my lips swollen (this is especially weird because I almost NEVER get affected by products badly)
4) The balm gets dry 3 months in
5) This is a personal preference, but the Honeysuckle, in particular, smells awful to me! It's a mix of floral and honey, which sounds great but is actually so . . . sour!

The shea butter formula is so moisturizing for the skin! It's smooth, the consistency perfect: a little foamy and not too thick/thin. It's also not runny like the B&B;works body lotions. Also the price is great if you wait for their sales.
The downfall is the scent (this being a totally personal preference). I'm not into floral scents, and while at the store it smelled great, the after-effect is absolutely terrible for me! It is too overpowering and eventually sours, becoming exactly like bug repellent, leaving me nauseated and with a headache.

I didn't think I was going to love this product-- but then I actually tried it and my jaw dropped.
This face mask is SO HYDRATING, absolutely perfect for dry skin. It looks clear and the texture is a bit like jelly, and once you put it on it feels cool and refreshing. Every single time, I'm always pleasantly surprised at how soft it feels the moment I start applying it!
The only downside is that the scent can be quite strong (depending on how much you put on), and me not being a floral kind of gal, the scent of roses can be bothersome.

So . . . that headline was a tad dramatic. What I meant was: this shampoo got my hair from "meh" to "HOLLY HELL MY HAIR IS SO AMAZING IT'S NOW A PERSONALITY TRAIT."
It leaves your hair with a clean and fresh feel; my hair feels smoother, looks healthier and became stronger. It adds volume to my naturally pin-straight hair, as well the scent is breezy and long lasting, but never too over-powering. It also makes my hair less greasy (which is always appreciated) and I can usually go 3 days without washing it.

Nivea Hydro Care lip balm is pretty good . . . but if you want the ultimate moisturizer, just buy the Nivea Essential one. The difference is this one has a thinner consistency, so you'll have to end up re-applying it more often. It's the sort of lip balm that'll you have to carry with you everywhere, or else your lips will dry out. -

Since I live in a cold and dry place, this lip balm is a life saver. Not only is the price AMAZING, the quality is top-notched. It has a thick consistency (almost like milk) and goes on the lips smoothly. This lip balm also has a very light scent, perfect for anyone who doesn't like anything overpowering or just like a neutral and natural smell. -
