I really like the Nivea pearly shine lip balm. It goes on smooth and has a nice shimmer to it almost like a lip gloss. This has to be applied a lot like most lip balms I have tried. I would suggest if you have really bad chapped lips that flakes to not go with this one because of the shimmer. Instead use a more medicated Nivea product. But this one works great for me it's like 2 products in one lip balm and lip gloss. Loved it.
I love the colour of this lip balm - it is the first thing I noticed about it!
For me, having a subdued colour is key.
This Nivea Lip balm isn't the most effective at keeping my lips moist for long periods of time, and requires several applications throughout the day - but as with lipsticks or similar tinted lip balms, this seems to be a common issue.
It's okay, and I'm kind of bummed about the lack of staying power of the moisturizing aspect, as it's the perfect colour for me!

This balm is decent as a daily product for protecting lips, it doesn't feel uncomfortable and does glide on nicely. The pearl effect is nice so long as you don't mind a bit of shimmer, I generally like to layer my lipstick over my balm so it isn't ideal for that use. It's effective on a daily basis for sure but if you have really chapped and dry lips you'd want something a bit more intensive and free from color/shimmer so not to highlight any dry flakes. Otherwise it's a good little product!
I love how Nivea offers hydrating lip balm and a little colour for your lips. However, I'm not a huge fan of the shimmery cotton candy colour it leaves on if I apply normally. If I use it, I try and use a very thin layer to keep the shimmer to a minimum. I will not repurchase. I will stick with the Essential Lip Balm as my go-to.
Honestly i had high hopes for this product but sadly it let me down. While it feels really good going on, i findcit rather sticky and it left my lips this strange pink shimery glow. Now i like xolor as much as the next girl but shimery pink candy floss not my thing. Sorry
I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor product review club with the Nivea makeup remover. I like the formulation of all the Nivea lip balms, so I found it to be quite hydrating. It does have shimmer in it, so it doesn't go on as smoothly as the Essential balm or the Milk & Honey balm. It has a little more grit to it from the texture of the shimmer. I found the shade of this to be too cool-toned for my taste and colouring, but I think it would look really pretty on those who like a pale pink lip.
Has a nice subtle pink shine to it, but I don't really find it moisturizes as well as my usual brand of lip gloss. I did find that it went on a little thick, you can definitely feel this gloss on your lips, which I'm not too fond of.
Got this the other day it does go on nice and has good moisturizer to it. The pearly shine on its own is a bit much though so I put it over a darker colour or just wear it around the house.
Good product that you can take with you anywhere!! Not very glossy but applies well and has a nice mild fragrance. A recommended purchase for all chicks!!
I think that it does leave my lips with a nice shine, however it leaves my lips feeling dry. In addition to this, it goes on quite cakey, at least for me, so I have to be careful when applying it.
